Another was an interesting period in the mid 1980's - the period of societies bibliophiles. It was necessary to pass the trash to get the right to acquire good and not available in trade books (which can be classed almost all the books except the volumes of materials all plenums of the CPSU and political pamphlets). A society of book lovers could "tear off" books like "Baron Munchausen", "Treasure Island" or "Modern English detective story."

Well, this story began with waste paper in the 70's.
I remember my friend who worked at the collection point of waste paper, told me how one old lady rolled up on the trolley 56 reds volumes the complete works of VI Lenin, to exchange them for Angelique Marquise angels - with determination, a Russian thirst for spiritual enrichment of limitless

You can not own idea about how many valuable books tashilo population in these paragraphs to detail to familiarize with Hercule Poirot's adventures, they have spared nothing - not the Tiflis Zdaneviches collections, no books with illustrations by Malevich, Goncharova, etc. - So that employees in most of these collection points are very, very wealthy

There are still exceptions, mostly carrying waste paper (newspapers and magazines) as a rule. And I remembered how we students gathered Metal. In one day all the students went out and searched the neighboring yards. I have another (it was 12-13 years old) went to the cemetery, there in front of some gates was a dump and it was strewn with several crosses. We took what could, two or three (heavy) and they took it. We got to the schoolyard, and there is just the principal and head teacher, evaluate which class won, compared handful. And here we have a shared enthusiasm comrades - with crosses. Director and other adults were confused, quite seriously thought that we pulled the crosses from the graves. Not accepted. Then these crosses for a long time lying on the school sports court. And in the evenings the children in the pit for jumping out of the sand mounds and pasted did crosses, it looked from the natural and scary.
By the way, now would be called the installation.
