However, the pass protection - big men in black uniforms and Tibia - proved difficult. "Radulova? - With grim concentration, they studied my identification .- This Whose blood will you?" I smiled wider, and with all his might spread the blue eyes - do not want to disrupt the interview because of such trifles. Photographer had to drive later, and I frantically tried to remember his name. "For the artists go - finally relented protection .- They are in the museum, and you're in a museum, step for step, okay? Nowhere to displace, we follow here everywhere camera".
Understandably. How not to understand: the high fence in addition to the museum itself, many buildings, towers, bathhouses, the arcade and other unidentified houses is the only Russian church Russian Orthodox Church Abroad - namely Melikhov charge of the design representation ROCA here in Russia. There is a monument to Nicholas II, twice previously blasted "unknown". Also along the paths around objects stuck gardening art - plaster frogs, ducks, chickens and even a monument to Don Quixote. For a small waterfall, the bridge is a monument to "Volunteers of the Russian army, and next, under the bushes - green mushrooms with smiley faces. But for those eyes and the eyes need.
"Cossacks Dogs" and "scum-Bolsheviks"
In his museum Melikhov collected and white, and red
In the 1990 Melikhov was one of the founders of the movement of the Union of the Russian people. Interview with Vladimir Petrovic, his videos, and treatment can be found in many newspapers and on many sites with similar names subtly - "Russian Life", "Russian Gazette", "Russian imperial movement, the Union of Russian People", "Rus-front" and so on and so forth. So wait for some special revelation during our interview was not necessary.
"We must have love for the edge, love for his land - he said very tenderly, our hero .- So much hatred in people towards each other, so much negativity. But it is love, not hate is the basis for all creation. Agape will save Russia. " I'm afraid, as if over Vladimir Petrovich halo not climbed, so everything is clarified about the Jews. It appeared in this matter is not without nuance. "My opinion about the Jews is the same, and what they have on us - these words Melihova .- A member of the Revolutionary Committee of the Bolshevik Don Isaac Isayevich Reingold wrote in the RCP (B.):" Kazakov, at least a great part of them will have sooner or too late to destroy, to destroy physically. "Another, Lev Davidovich Trotsky, said that the Cossacks - a dog to be destroyed. What's my attitude toward these people might be after this?" Of course, bad. "
To Hitler, the chief, it seems, is a bit more loyal: "For our nation, Hitler did a lot - and if he stopped and went no further, I think, this figure would be one of the most significant in Europe of the twentieth century." But with the Bolsheviks and everything is clear: "Bolshevism - is a lie and hypocrisy, with satanic dedication they destroy what they created was not introduced in the society enmity, injustice and slavery ... Olga, tea!"
Vladimir Melikhov most of his life now devotes no business, and collect evidence about the "Bolshevik terror and his misanthropic nature"
Here, in the museum, in addition to assistant Olga sit a few more guys in black - they are carefully crosses out something in a pamphlet. I'm with the permission of one of the young and naive, I take a brochure nezacherknutoy record time to notice the words of a criminal of the Second World War, which unleashed the scum, the Bolsheviks, before me a kite catches more experienced security guard: 'You've been given the wrong instrument, do not is read, we may have problems. The museum is open only recently, we have not prepared all PR products properly. "
The museum actually opened quite recently, in his opening even played the bishop of Geneva (ROCOR), Bishop Michael, he thanked Melihova "for returning the name of the Russian people, caught up in exile in Russia." Generally, the word "Russian" is pronounced here so often that it's time seems to hang signs: "Only for Russian" in all eight rooms of the museum, located on two floors. "Many honest and decent people have relied on Germany, with a view after the victory over the Bolsheviks to establish a national Russian state" - said at the opening of his museum Melikhov, so one of the central themes of the exhibition - Service Cossacks in ranks of the Wehrmacht. The third floor is currently empty, but soon there zasyadut historians studying the people's struggle with the Soviet authorities. In the meantime, there are languishing artists with his picture and cry out from time to time: "Over 600 million can do more, pomasshtabnee. And, Vladimir Petrovich?" Vladimir, it seems, for the price not quibble, but it is coming tour - tsementniki from Moscow. So he throws everything - art, tea, journalists - and was happy to run down to speak to colleagues. He generally likes to talk about the case throughout his life. He says warmly, enthusiastically. Standing next to a portrait of Nicholas II, Vladimir Petrovich as if he is reincarnated in the king, and humbly said: "We need to store and distribute memory of Russian people who are in difficult and controversial moments in our history have remained true to duty, faith and homeland." "Come here," - whispered photographer.
"It's a pleasure!" Oh How delightfully!
Walking on the territory of unaccompanied is not allowed, but we are acting as the red partisans risked their lives to make our way along the roads and bushes. The area is enormous. And then there's the German Shepherd Dog - could it be that if that job was racked with impunity? - Appears from somewhere and looked nasty. "Nerusi?" - How to read in her eyes.
Actually, from Vladimir Petrovich, another property is, in the Rostov region. There, in the village Elanskaya, he also rebuilt - zababahal memorial "Don Cossacks against the Bolsheviks. The memorial immediately return not only the local Cossacks, who shouted: "It's a pleasure! Oh How delightfully!", But prosecutors, police and public Vyoshenskaya area required to testify about the grounds on which a monument to the headmen, the generals and the troops of Cossacks Don who participated in the Civil War the Bolsheviks. Almost at the same time Melihova opened, as he claims, "frame-up" for tax evasion, he was arrested and spent 8 months in prison. Then the Cossacks were gathered on the central square of Podolsk, chanting "Freedom Ataman Melikhovo!" and handed out leaflets, demanding the release of a Russian patriot ". Vladimir Petrovich eventually released, but the case has been dragging on for several years and close it until you are going.
But in Yelanskaya construction continues - an area of about 700 square meters. m will be located about 15 more rooms. The Communists contend, as do almost anything they can - and in Yelanskaya, and Podolsk construction is on private property. "My land - proudly says Cossack Melikhov .- I want to put a bath in it, I want - a monument Ataman Krasnov. Here are just blowing up some of its monuments, here, then there is something written in red paint, hammer and sickle is sometimes portrayed. Melikhov But he persevered, being between two fires. Even three - in Yelanskaya unabated clamor on the old monument, in Podolsk became agitated after the opening of the museum anti-Bolshevik resistance, and the prosecutor's office, in principle, can not get enough. But he was still under investigation businessman who genuinely believes that doing good business. Saves the souls of people. "All my life I worked without looking back. I tried to help people, but understood: only improve the material conditions of life of people mad. Once met a monk from Optina Hermitage said: forget-commerce, build a temple - and get all the answers."
Apparently, he still got all the answers, citizen Melikhov. He did not build housing for their workers - building temples. At work takes its origin is not proven Cossacks, who will have to maintain dignity, and those who will cost cheaper. Vaughn Uzbek Bakhtiar watering the flowers near the monument to Nicholas II: "Here we are only ten gardeners. There are builders. Live well, on New Year's Eve we always go home dispensers. The last time the parents took the tablecloth as a gift, a big Chinese thermos. The whole family gathered, drank tea. Well, when your house when its all together. " Bakhtiar has no idea, for whose memorial he cares: "Nick is. I do not know, maybe a relative of the owner.
Well, in this manor. Quiet, green. Children have Melikhova adults grandson already participates in the meetings. The temple there, at his side, monuments, sightseers, fans eagerly caught every word. Dogs and the camera closely monitoring the events, Uzbeks work, a woman shakes a child from the pond ... Probably, this is the Cossack paradise.
