[Кирилл Сызранский]

In our country, Memorial Day - one of the most important days for many of the most important. I am convinced that after the war worse all the winners, the losers - no difference. Can long considered the numbers, but people will not return.

This now-abandoned hospital in the center of Ekaterinburg during the war took the wounded. On the wall it was decided to put the face of the Ural four soldiers and two anonymous. Pictures transferred to the substrate, different density bandages gives different tone pattern. After the fire only need to remove the remaining bandages. The project is made on June 22, the longest day - the day the war began. Toward the end of the assembly came a man in charge of the building, we talked about the project, and the police decided not to call.
 Ending the war - a great joy, but Victory Day as a holiday only appeared in the sixties. Because in war there is nothing festive - neither at the beginning nor at the end, it's a nightmare. And it began to specific people, and others have made it. If you know the truth about the war, it acts as an antidote. On May 9, I would have asked to fly over the city flock of bombers that we know how lucky we did not get into this hell. "Peaceful Sky" - is not just an inscription on the card.
I really appreciate the opportunity to find out what people got the "Hero." There are just some incredible things, starting with the pilots, captains travels at night, and finishing all the stories multi-day siege, when people have fought with bayonets.
But another question - how daily life was gone, and the fighting began. Not all the characters, but in the war. What do they feel? As they were afraid? How to overcome fear?

I fell in love as soon as the roof began to notice them, it happened not so long ago. I was surprised by the roof, built with a ramp.
This roof is visible both from the ground and from a height. They look like ski jumps - a view reflected up - and you're looking at the sky.
This provision, frozen between the celestial and the earthly world, sealed sight, it seemed important to me. It's like when the earth went from under the feet, in a good way.

In addition, above all the words. A single word has a peculiar feature - it stopped between silence and sound, between silence and speaking.
You can say a lot, but just one word. Imagine.
It's like a roof-jump, carrying away in weightlessness between heaven and earth, but here you find yourself in the world of weightlessness between internal and external. It is a peaceful feeling.

How important are these words I realized when very tired, and lying down on the roof, in the middle of words, and saw the constellation of which had not seen before.
I began to think about dreams, and then it dawned on me that in this house now all people are sleeping in their beds, and with them now sleeps and lives the word on the roof of the house. As a large blanket.
In my dream man lives in himself, but in fact we live in a big world, and our walls and roof are conditional and do not always protect.
And they do not play any role when it comes to the soul, in this case, the right words. The right words can be a talisman, armor, walls or roof.

They may be issues around which we all go and go. ABOVE ALL - that above all else? THANK YOU - thank someone? Remember - remember?

I thought that in these large, general words, found the physical, the material embodiment of one thing.
Above all that - the unity.
Unity in itself, people, God, in any other sense - it makes people not just stronger, it makes a person a whole person.
The unity between thoughts and deeds, between the desk and the ocean, between the constellations, among all others. Everything under one roof.
This is also a sense of calm and weightless, and as big as a huge planet on which we all come.

Every time I saw the finished roof, in the light of the next day, I could not say anything. Only shake his head, in amazement, so it exceeded my expectations.




COME seen from trains traveling on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Initially, I did not think about it, it was primarily on the treatment of the sky.

 

When I photographed THANK came up platelayer, a huge man in an orange vest. He asked if I knew who wrote it. I said, and he shook my hand, no questions asked.

  REMEMBER located at the Plaza of defense, right here during WWII soldiers went to the front of Sverdlovsk. I remember this roof police wearing helmets and carrying automatic weapons, which we took off from there.

 With Love

  ABOVE ALL - last. As soon as I had finished, the roof was covered with the first frost, and walking is difficult. It was the twenty-fourth night on the roof.

      Thank you - Light, Faith, Cyril, Dima, Andrei, Vladimir, Alex.
