любой её уголок. Заражая тягой к жизни и свершениям. И вообще - ведь то, что мы с вами перебрались сюда еще в первой жизни - большая удача!

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!

It’s silly to justify your mistakes by saying that it’s the first time we’ve lived here. But if we had lived the second time, we would have moved to Florida much earlier or right away. Because it is beautiful horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, and a special orange (only here!) gentle sun honestly illuminates any corner of it. Infecting with the urge to life and accomplishments. And in general - the fact that we moved here in our first life is great luck! Better late than never. Of course, a lot of things have changed. For example, in Naples, Florida, there’s a neighborhood called Port Royal. In 1938, a businessman named Glen Sample bought two square miles of land for 54 thousand dollars and named it after the famous Jamaican pirate town. Back in the sixties, you could buy a house here on a large lot for 30 grand. Now houses here are offered for 54 million dollars, but you can take and for 30, and even 17, and if you do not need the gloss, then for 10. I wish I was a descendant of Samples. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren live here, each with a gold-framed portrait of Glen hanging in their hallway. They pass by it indifferently every day, even though they should stop and offer a prayer of thanks. But it’s as hard to be constantly grateful as it is to condolence for longer than an hour, for example. Yes, an investment of 54,000 turned into billions. Well, good for you, grandpa! But life goes on! You and I still have plenty of opportunities today. And that’s why we’re presenting the first issue of the Florida Eastern European Community Guide. We are Svet Media with a 33-year history of helping - in word and deed - our compatriots who are settling in our wonderful country. We work for you!

RUSSIAN -SPEAKING AMERICAN CHAMBER OF SOUTH FLORIDA WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE: PERL BY CHEF P

LARISA SVECHIN MAYOR

Dear SVET Media,

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH 2023

It is with immense pleasure that I write this congratulatory letter on your launch of Russian American Community guide in South Florida and specifically Sunny Isles Beach. As Mayor of Sunny Isles Beach, it is my mission to support small businesses and encourage opportunities that will grow all business. It is in the best interest of our residents and visitors to have a vibrant and varied business network, which invites professionals from all industries.

While we are a young city, incorporating in 1997, we have grown very quickly, and boast over $15 billion in real estate value. As a result, we have a population which is eager to sample various business offerings. Our wealth is not only tied to dollars, but we are also home to a diverse population which includes all the countries of Eastern Europe, South America, and worldwide.

As an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, whose family arrived to American with minimal resources, I take special pride in welcoming female owned businesses whose proprietors are Russian speaking. As an American I appreciate and respect all the cultures and languages our city has to offer.

That is why despite having a large Russian speaking community, we also speak many other languages, such as Portuguese, Hebrew, and Spanish, and pride ourselves on supporting each other and our local businesses. Because of this shared quality I am excited to have the Russian American Community Guide become a resource for residents and visitors alike.

I praise your passion for building community, adding to the fabric of Sunny Isles Beach, and supporting local businesses. I wish you much success and congratulate you now and in all future endeavors.

Warm Regard,

Larisa Svechin Mayor of Sunny Isles Beach

уходит.

У всех. Героиня моего сегодняшнего интервью - уникальный в своём роде человек, привыкшая трудиться с детства, ставящая перед собой высокие цели и покоряющая их, причём не любой ценой, а сверяясь с лично своей системой жизненных координат. И вы знаете, оказывается, и в политике можно добиться успеха, будучи честным и искренним человеком.

Почему я назвал её уникальной, вы скоро поймёте. Кстати, в тему... Однажды на каком-то приёме в 1921 году встретились

первый кавалер ордена Красного знамени Василий Блюхер и два поэта - Владимир

разговорились.

поднять дух народа в разгар Великой Депрессии. И сам Адамс не очень-то

верил в то, что говорил, он сам в этом

потом признавался. Но это было очень

привлекательно для многих - преодолеть

социальные препятствия и превратиться из “никого” в “кого-то”. Эжен Потье в

годы Французской революции написал

“Интернационал”, который стал святой

песней в СССР и там были строки: “Кто

был никем, тот станет всем”. Но в СССР только пели, а здесь как раз становились!

Не все! Американская мечта, она не для

всех, а вы - её воплощение. Поэтому, пожалуйста, не скромничайте. Вы сказали, что с детства много ра-

ботали и помогали другим, но ведь эта потребность не возникла

внезапно в теле маленькой девочки... - Воспитание - это очень важный фактор. Вы знаете, у

и любящие, но они очень тяжело работали. Они уходили рано, вставали в 4 утра, к пяти уже их не было дома, а домой

возвращались после шести вечера. И они нас, своих дочек, научили самостоятельности. Ну, и конечно, мне в жизни повезло

со школьными учителями, очень они мне верили, потому что

видели, что я всегда была готова всегда остаться после школы, я

всегда хотела быть помощницей. Вот этому я и стараюсь учить

своих детей. Я не скромничаю, это очень... простая правда. - Вы знаете, по роду своей работы я встречался

- И всё? Вот так скромно, да? Ну конечно, это же обычное дело... - (Улыбается). Хорошо, расскажу, как это получилось. Для меня учеба всегда была очень важной жизненной составляющей. Без образования, конечно, тоже можно многого добиться, но все-таки, с образованием больше шансов, поэтому нужно учиться. И я считаю, даже взрослые люди должны использовать любой шанс повысить уровень знаний. Я сначала не собиралась в никакой Гарвард, но когда столкнулась с проблемами, которые нужно решать в Санни Айлс, то поняла, что знаний не хватает и вы правы - я же не могу быть экспертом во всём... - Санни Айлс - город богатых, зна-

City of Sunny Isles Beach celebrates 26th anniversary with beachfront party

There are celebrations that require formal wear, fancy jewelry and dinners served by gloved waiters. And the city that has earned the nickname.

’’The Height of Living” could have done the same. But Sunny Isles Beach, known for its luxurious hotels and white sandy beaches, decided to celebrate their 26th anniversary on their fabulous world-renowned beach. Guests were encouraged to bring their beach chairs and towels to find their place in their place in the sand and to enjoy the celebration. Free parking was available at the Sunny lsles Beach Government Center and Gateway Center with the SIB Shuttle running a special event route transporting guests to each event location. Selling out quickly were wristbands that included the choice of a meal at one of the three food service locations

with the food prepared by their hotel partners, the Sole Miami, Trump International Beach Resort and the Newport Beachside Hotel and Resort, as well as a swag bag and cake pop dessert. Throughout the evening, the beach was open to all residents.

A beachfront concert included performances by Viva Classic Rock and Dl Salty, with large LEO screens projecting the performances from 180th Street to 163rd Street. Sandcastle

building and strolling performers added to the fun in the sand. In honor of their Sister City, Hengchun, Taiwan, the colorful Chinese dragons were there to enchant the crowd. Chinese dragons symbolize wisdom, power, and wealth, and they are believed to bring good luck, and they did just that as the weather was perfect for a beach party. Ocean Rescue and Sunny Isles Beach Police were on hand to assist residents throughout the evening.

“Hosting our 26* anniversary on the beach was extra special,” said Mayor Larisa Svechin. “We were able to showcase one of our best attributes while spreading the party out to a greater audience.”

The City’s Media Manager, Leah Einwalter said that she had never seen so many messages, tags and positive emojis flooding the City’s direct messages on Instagram. “They were all so positive,”commented Leah. “The drone show was definitely a big hit! It was customized to Sunny Isles Beach including features that make our city so special such as the sunrise, ocean, fishing pier, soccer and basketball in our parks, and our logo lit up the night.” Gayle Vasilc, Director of Cultural & Community Services, noted “It was great working with the hotels in our community. They really came out for our residents and showcased the quality of the services they offer. We partnered with Trump International Beach Resort to the north, Sole Miami in the center and the Newport Beachside Resort to the south.“

The City of Sunny Isles Beach Government Center is located at I8070 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach 33160 305.947.0606, www.sibfl.net

Mayor Larisa Svechin and children of Sunny Isles Beach enjoy the Chinese dragon.

AMR recognizes fire rescue departments and ‘hometown heroes’

Firefighters are a different breed they run towards danger instead of running away from it. We have that emotional visual of them running into a burning building to save a life... ready to do battle without flinching. Their mission is to save and they do that brilliantly and bravely and with great resolve. Their training is long and hard, but those who make it through are the best of the best.

And the ‘best of the best’ of fire rescue is who the Aventura Marketing Council’ Chamber of Commerce honors every year, and it has been AMR — American Medical Response — who sponsors this meeting year after year. AMR is America’s leading provider of medical transportation with the single mission of making a difference by caring for people in need. AMR solutions include 911 emergency, interfacility transportation, event medical, advanced and basic life support transports and federal disaster response. AMR is part of G.MR. Global Medical Response, «providing care to the world at a moment’s notice.” With almost 38.000 employees. GMR delivers compassionate quality care, primarily m the areas of emergency and patient relocation services in the United States, and around the world. Bob Gamer. Terence Ramotar, Ed Badamo and Anna Novo represented AMR/GMR and Bob Gamer spoke from the heart about how AMR grew to become a worldwide company.

As part of each year’s program, the participating fire rescue departments are invited to select their ‘’Above and Beyond» winner to be recognized and awarded with gifts. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue is the largest in the county with 68 fire rescue stations m unincorporated Miami-Dade County and serving 29 municipalities. They have response units dedicated to air rescue service, ocean rescue, fire and rescue operations, marine, hazardous materials (MazMat), urban search and rescue (US&R). technical rescue, and venom response. Almost the entire leadership team of Miami-Dade Fire

Rescue was there, including Deputy Fire Chief Danny Cardeso, Assistant Fire Chief Jason Fernandez, EMS Division Chief Shanti Hall, Division Chief Michael Eng, and EMS Division OIC Miguel Yanes. Special Operations Chief Brandon Webb, who heads up Florida Task Force I that is called to provide help at disasters around the world ...earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and more. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue K-9 Charlie was there, eager to check out Karma, the ‘canine queen of socializing*, a pet therapy K-9 from AMR. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Above & Beyond winners were Firefighter Paramedic Idalmis Roberts and Capt. Alejandro Lozano who proudly accepted the gifts and recognition.

From Hollywood Fire Rescue, EMS Division Chief Simon Serrao was there with Chief James Russo and their Above & Beyond Winner Firefighter Paramedic Jaime Gonzalez and their K-9.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office Hallandale Beach Fire Rescue’s Above & Beyond winner Driver Engineer Yvette Dc La Torre attended and Chief Jeff Levy. EMS Director for Hatzalah (who is also Deputy Chief of the Lauderhill Fire Dept.) was there with his Above & Beyond winner, Yoshi Hagler.

США, заселённым европейцами. Но обо всём по-порядку. Нуж

и Оранжевый остров соединился с североамериканским

куа, апалачи и токобага были земледельцами и промышляли

охотой, а джеага, текеста и калуса не знали земледелия, как и

большинство мелких племён на юге полуострова. Племя калуса

достигло удивительно высокого для собирателей социального развития. Все эти племена исчезли через 250 лет после контакта

с европейцами: они пострадали от эпидемий, внутренних войн

и войн с европейцами, а многие просто покинули полуостров.

В 1763 году индейцев осталось всего 200 человек, и они поки-

нули Флориду вместе с испанцами. Пустующие земли в начале

XVIII века стали заселять мигранты с севера, которые образо-

вали общность, известную как семинолы. Впоследствии они

были выселены на запад, но около 5,000 семинолов проживают

во Флориде по сей день.

Первооткрывателем Флориды считается Хуан Понсе де

Леон, спутник Колумба в его втором

года вышел к берегам Флориды. Через несколько дней он высадился в районе современного Сент-Огастина. Багамские ин-

дейцы называли эти края Canico или Cancio, но, повторим, из-

за открытия на Пасху, которая у испанцев называется «Pascua Florida» («Праздник цветов»), земля была названа Флоридой.

Испанцы несколько недель исследовали побережье, после чего

Понсе де Леон вернулся на Пуэрто-Рико. Король даровал ему титул аделантадо и право колонизации Флориды, но

Остальное было заселено неподконтрольными Испании индейцами-семинолами.

Когда в 1776 году

представители тринадцати североамериканских колоний провозгласили независимость от Великобритании, многие жители Флориды осудили это действие. Возмущённые жители Сент-Августина сожгли чучела Хэнкока и Адамса. Губернатор Восточной Флориды Патрик Тонин был уверен, что флоридцы не присоединятся к протестам колоний. Их было слишком

мало, они сильно зависели от метрополии, почти не вели торговли, и многие жили на правительственные зарплаты. Во время американской войны за независимость некоторые флоридцы фактически помогали проводить рейды

В 1923 году произошёл расовый бунт в Розвуде, когда было убито шесть афроамериканцев. В те же годы во Флориде активизировался Ку-Клукс-Клан. Всё это заставило многих афроамери-

правительство ввело режим чрезвычайного положения и вы-

делило несколько миллионов долларов для помощи беженцам.

Было открыто несколько лагерей беженцев в других штатах, в

которые была перемещена примерно половина кубинцев.

В 1994 году Фидель Кастро ещё раз разрешил части ку-

МАЙАМИ

· Майами получил свое название от одного

из племен, живших здесь в 16-м и 17-м веках. Они называли себя почти так же: май-айми, что в переводе означало “большая вода” или “сладкая вода”. Имелось в виду озеро Окичоби.

· Майами — единственный город США, который был основан женщиной. “Матерью Майами” считают бизнесвумен по имени Джулия Таттл. Это была женщина-огонь, не понимавшая слова “нет”. Правда, у Майами бы и “отец” —

Уильям Брикелл.

· Во время Гражданской войны Брикелл

и его жена Мэри, с которой он познакомился и на которой женился в Австралии, жили в Белом

доме, пока он работал помощником президента

Авраама Линкольна. В 1868 году Брикеллы приобрели два участка земли, один из которых простирался от Коконат Гроув до реки Майами. Купили они эту землю у Харриет Инглиш и ее

брата Ричарда Фицпатрика, получивших его

по гранту… от короля Испании. Семья переехала в южную Флориду из Кливленда (Огайо), прибыв туда на корабле в 1871 году. Он и его семья открыли

торговый пост и почтовое отделение в своем

доме на южном берегу реки Майами, недалеко

от места расположения форта Даллас. Соседкой

Брикеллов совершенно случайно оказалась

Джулия Таттл.

· В 1896 году Генри М. Флаглер проложил свою

железную дорогу Florida East Coast как раз до этого места после того, как Таттл и Брикелл

· Район ночных клубов в стиле арт-деко на Южном пляже Майами — один из лучших в мире.

· Майами — самое теплое место в США в зимний период. Средняя температура зимой составляет 65–75 градусов по Фаренгейту.

· Когда-то Майами был мангровым болотом, всё остальное создали люди. Кстати, почти все майамские пляжи

MIAMI

Population: 433,947 people

Median age: 39.7 years

Demographics and Polulation

It is the 2nd largest city in Florida (after Jacksonville) and the 42nd largest city in the United States. Miami is currently growing at a rate of 1.09% annually and its population has increased by 19.73% since the most recent census, which recorded a population of 399,457 in 2010.

The 5 largest ethnic groups in Miami, FL are White (Hispanic) (65%), Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (13%), White (Non-Hispanic) (11%), Other (Hispanic) (5.46%) and Black or African American (Hispanic) (2.29%).

The median property value in Miami, FL is $350,400, and the homeownership rate is 30.6%.

History

Spaniards in the 16th century found a village (perhaps 2,000 years old) of Tequesta Indians on the site. The name Mayaimi, probably meaning “big water” or “sweet water,” may have referred to Lake Okeechobee or to local Native Americans who took their name from the lake. In 1567 the Spanish established a mission there as part of a futile attempt to subdue the Tequesta. They ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763 but regained it in 1783. After the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1821, Fort Dallas was built (1836) as a base during the Seminole Wars. A few settlers—among them Julia D. Tuttle, known as the “mother of Miami,” and William B. Brickell—gradually moved into the area.

In 1896 Henry M. Flagler extended his Florida East Coast Railway to the site after Tuttle and Brickell each gave him half of their landholdings for the project. Flagler had been convinced to extend the railroad after a freeze during the winter of 1894–95 killed most of Florida’s citrus crop; Tuttle reportedly sent him a fresh orange blossom to prove that the freeze had not reached Miami. Flagler dredged the harbor, started constructing the Royal Palm Hotel, and promoted tourism. Miami was incorporated the same year.

During the Florida land boom in the early and mid-1920s, the city’s population more than tripled, but the collapse of this speculation, compounded by a devastating hurricane in 1926, dampened Miami’s fortunes for more than a decade. Neighboring Miami Beach underwent a brief construction boom in the mid-1930s, when many Art Deco buildings were erected, but this came to an end during World War II, when soldiers replaced tourists at the oceanfront hotels and long stretches of beach were converted to rifle ranges. After the war, many soldiers returned to the Miami area to live, and in the 1950s and ’60s Latin American immigrants, particularly those from Cuba, began to arrive in large numbers. In the 15 years following the Cuban Revolution in 1959, it is estimated that some 500,000 Cubans fled to Miami; many of these immigrants received assimilation aid from the U.S. federal government. During the 1980s Miami gained a reputation as a centre of the illegal cocaine trade, and several acts of violence were directed against foreign tourists in the early 1990s; however, by the end of the 20th century, tourism was rebounding. In 1992 Hurricane Andrew caused some 50 deaths and considerable property damage to areas of the county just south of Miami, although the city itself was largely spared.

and is the city’s major financial district. More than 70 percent of the population is Hispanic/Latino. Indeed, the city’s close relationship to Latin America is especially well represented in its ethnic neighborhoods. The Little Havana district, just west of downtown, developed as a largely Cuban enclave within the city. Its annual Calle Ocho festival (March; part of the Carnival Miami celebration) draws large crowds of visitors. Little Haiti, to the north of downtown, developed as a primarily Haitian neighborhood after refugees began arriving in the city in the 1990s.

Median age: 50.2 years

Aventura is a planned, suburban city in northeastern MiamiDade County, Florida, United States, 15 miles (24 km) north of Miami and part of the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida. The city is especially known for Aventura Mall, the third largest mall in the United States by total square feet of retail space and the largest mall in Florida. The city name is from the Spanish word for “adventure”, and was named “Aventura” after the developers of the original group of condominiums in the area, Eddie Lewis and Don Soffer, who had remarked “What an adventure this is going to be.”

Initially referred to as “Turnberry”, Aventura began to be developed during the early 1970s and became an incorporated city in 1995. The Aventura Police Department was formed in 1997.

Aventura is located in northeastern Miami-Dade County. It is bordered to the east by Golden Beach and Sunny Isles Beach, to the south by North Miami Beach, and to the west by unincorporated Ojus. It is bordered to the north by Hallandale Beach in Broward County. U.S. Route 1 (Biscayne Boulevard) runs along the western edge of the city, leading south 15 miles (24 km) to Downtown Miami and north 12 miles (19 km) to Fort Lauderdale. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 3.5 square miles (9.1 km2). Of that, 2.6 sq mi (6.7 km2) are land and 0.9 sq mi (2.3 km2) (24.73%) are water. The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and Dumfoundling Bay form the eastern border of the city, while the southern border is within Maule Lake.

The Aventura Express shuttle bus is a city-run public bus service, free to anyone in Aventura. The service runs three routes (North, Central, and South). Miami-Dade Transit’s Metrobus and Broward County Transit bus systems also run through the city. Metrobus provide connections to Metrorail and Metromover at

Government Center via Biscayne Boulevard/US 1. Over the last 30 years, travel infrastructure in Aventura has been heavily funded and influenced by developers of the many highrise condominium projects near the beach. Brightline is an inter-city rail service operating between Miami and Orlando. The Aventura station, located adjacent to the Aventura Mall, provides service along the route.

Tri-Rail commuter rail service has also been proposed to run on the FEC line. Another proposal would extend the Miami Metrorail along the US 1 corridor from Downtown Miami to the Broward County line, which would pass through Aventura and Hallandale Beach.

The most famous shopping attraction is Aventura Mall, a 2,400,000 sq ft (222,967 m2) indoor shopping center. The outdoor malls are “Aventura Town Center”, “Aventura Shopping Center”, “Aventura Commons”, “The Promenade Shops”, and “The Shoppes at the Waterways”. The city also has its own exclusive parks and recreation department which operate Founders Park, Founders Park Bayside, Waterways Park, Waterways Dog Park, Veterans Park, The Community Recreation Center, and the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center. At the geographical center of Aventura is the Turnberry Golf Course, encircled by Aventura’s Country

Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, West Palm Beach is a city of service providers, sales and office workers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in West Palm Beach who work in sales jobs (12.84%), office and administrative support (10.73%), and management occupations (8.70%).

other relocating single professionals. Here, these young singles will find many others like themselves, with opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.

One of the nice things about West Palm Beach is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

Naples Pier

THE OLDE NAPLES PIER

First came the hotel, and then the pier.

In January, 1888, there was no pier. The Naples Company found and purchased the fastest steamship on the coast: Captain Merritt’s «Fearless». This ship, which ran from Punta Gorda to Naples, entered through Gordon’s Pass, up into the Bay of Naples, according to the Company’s promotional brochure. However, in low tide, passengers had to be shuttled ashore by «lighters» out in the Gulf, which featured troublesome sandbars (and some rock’n’roll).

Thus, a construction contract was let to Captain James Canty in Ft. Myers in June, 1888, for a 600-foot T-shaped wharf in 18 feet deep water on the Gulf side, facing the hotel. Pilings and timbers were off-loaded in the surf and towed ashore.

When the hotel opened in January, 1889, the wooden pier had just been completed. It was the place for passengers, freight, and fishing. The post office was located at the foot of the pier (where it stayed until 1922, when an accidental cigarette fire destroyed the building and part of the pier).

A combination boardwalk and tramway fitted with rails extended from the foot of the pier, along Pier Street (now called Twelfth Avenue South), to the hotel. A cart could easily roll materials and luggage, but children loved getting on for a push. By 1909, a bathhouse and changing rooms were available; freight lifts had also been added. Then, the unwelcome guests arrived!

5th largest city in Florida

St. Petersburg still retains much of the resort-town flavor its founders cherished, a community of pelicans, porpoises, endless sunshine and sailboats.

In 1875, General John Williams came from Detroit and bought 2,500 acres of land on Tampa Bay. He envisioned a grand city with beautiful parks and broad streets, a trademark of today’s St. Petersburg. The city’s first hotel was named after his birthplace, Detroit.

Thirteen years later, Peter Demens, a noble Russian aristocrat, brought the Orange Belt Railway to St. Petersburg. On June 8, 1888, the first train arrived, carrying empty freight cars and one passenger, a shoe salesman from Savannah. Demens named the city after his birthplace, St. Petersburg, Russia.

St. Petersburg incorporated as a city in June 1903.

St. Petersburg welcomes you to enjoy one of America’s most popular destinations, from the city’s vibrant downtown

filled with museums, art galleries, shopping, dining and major league sporting activities to some of the nation’s top ranked beaches.

Climate

Average temperature - 73.7 degrees. Average days of sunshine per year - 361. The «Sunshine City» holds a Guinness World Record for logging the most consecutive days of sunshine - a stretch lasting 768 days that began in 1967.

бы не было рекламодателей, которым - отдельное спасибо. Поскольку в наших традициях

отмечать юбилеи в рабочем режиме, то мы не стали устраивать особой помпы и не печатали “поздравления трудящихся”. А история создания нашей медиа-группы отображена в рассказе, который я предлагаю вашему вниманию. И давайте будем помнить, что страх перед плохим - это приближение плохого, как и вера в хорошее - притяжение хорошего. Сохранение способности улыбаться, чувство юмора, ирония и самоирония - вкупе, конечно, со здравомыслием и информированностью, вытянут нас всех из любой ямы и мы останемся живыми, здоровыми и благополучными. Мы все в Svet Media работаем для этого каждый день и абсолютно уверены в том, что все будет хорошо. Смотрите, слушайте, читайте нас, пишите нам, делитесь с нами своими чувствами и мыслями. По

одиночке можно пропасть, а вместе - никогда. Будьте здоровы и да будет СВЕТ!

* * Это случилось давно, еще в прошлом веке. 23 июля 1991 года в мою голову пришла безумная мысль. Периодически в мою голову приходят безумные мысли. Большинство из них

мне удается выпроводить. Но некоторые остаются, располагаются как дома, начинают диктовать свои порядки и отравляют мое существование. Так произошло и с этой. Мысль сводилась к тому, что в Чикаго совершенно необходимо открыть

первую русскую газету. Я поделился ею с немногими знакомыми мне тогда людьми. Она им не понравилась. - Понимаешь, - говорили они, - Америка читает “Новое русское слово”. Ты же не сможешь конкурировать с “Новым русским словом”. “Новое русское слово” выпускается с 1910 года. “Новое русское слово” съело даже Довлатова. Возвра-

“Чикаго трибюн”. Ее возглавляла миловидная женщина лет тридцати семи, беременная первым ребенком. Кроме нее, в офисе находились еще две женщины - грустная дама 45 лет и моло-

денькая секретарша. По окончании моей краткой презентационной речи, произнесенной скромно, но с достоинством, грустная дама констатировала: - Он не умеет говорить по-английски. - Но зато я все понимаю - как собака, - сказал я, и продолжил, взрывая произношением слова и

времен.

- Мистер Этман?

- Я - ответил я.

- Май нэйм из

- поинтересовались на том конце.

- Ноу, - сказал я.

- Ду ю спик френч? - невозмутимо спросил Андре.

- Ноу, - сказал я.

- Ду ю спик итальяно? - упорствовал собеседник.

- Пикколо, - сказал я.

Тогда Андре спросил:

- Ду ю спик инглиш?

- Ноу, - сказал я.

В разговоре наступила вполне объяснимая пауза. Я услышал, как Андре сказал кому-то, очевидно сидевшему рядом с

ним в неведомом Лугано: - Гурам, ну че делать-то будем? Лох на любом языке разговаривать отказывается. - Сам ты лох, - сказал я. - Браток! - радостно закричали в трубке. - Слава Богу, браток! Мы так и думали, раз в объяве написано, что мочевина нужна, значит должны ж быть русские рядом.

Конкретно... Самое удивительное, что мы мы действительно кое-чего покупали и продавали. Линда удивлялась. Я съездил в Швейцарию, Италию и в Москву с Ригой. Визы мне делала

стом. Она много курила, и, затягиваясь, говорила низким голосом: - Сашенька, зачем вы возвращаетесь в эту страшную страну? У вас ведь и грин-кард еще нет. Вас арестуют и сошлют в Сибирь. Когда мы приехали в Америку, нам выдали грин-кард прямо на пароходе. А вы беженец, Америка не ста-

женой проголосовали “за”. - Ты будешь продавать рекламу, - сказал я ей. - А я писать. Ей бы возмутиться, вспылить, отказаться. Но она, к сожалению, согласилась.

- Как назовем газету? - спросил я. - Предлагаю варианты: “У озера”, “Чикагская правда”, “Русский Чикаго”, “Время”, “Русский базар”.

- Нужно, чтобы было слово “Новое”, - сказала жена. - Как у “Нового русского слова”.

“Новое русское слово” с подачи эмигрантов-восьмидесятников пользовалось в нашей семье таким же непререкаемым авторитетом, как Спартак у римских рабов или “Правда” у ортодоксальных коммунистов.

- “Новый русский”, - сказал я, даже не подозревая о том, что предвосхитил

- Не-а, - сказала она.

- Новый... - протянул я.

- Свет, - сказала жена.

моя жена продавала рекламу. Продать рекламу тяжело вообще, а продать рекламу в несуществующую газету - все равно что будучи австрийцем, стать губернатором Калифорнии. - Здравствуйте, - говорила жена хозяину

-

- Потому что он только так и едет, - сказал я.

- У “Бьюика” вообще дерьмовая трансмиссия, - сказал он.

- Дерьмовая, - согласился я.

- Русский? - спросил он.

- Американский, - сказал я, похлопывая автомобиль по капоту.

- Да не “Бьюик”, а вы?

- Русский.

- Куда же вы едете? - спросил он. - Надеюсь, не в Даунтаун. Я объяснил. Он сказал:

- Вам нужно было вызвать towing.

- Дорого, - сказал я.

Я разнервничался. Мой английский и так худ, а когда я

нервничаю, он становится ужасающим. И я перепутал слова. Когда до меня дошло, что добрый полисмен поведет меня до

самого Эванстона и прощает мне все прегрешения, я хотел сказать ему: “Thank you!”. Но вместо “thank” я употребил

гое слово, которое тоже в транскрипции

“Время”, “Чикагскую

нравится мой магазин? - О, - говорим, - конечно! Замечательный просто магазин. Прямо глаза разбегаются. Жена спрашивает:

- А как вообще бизнес?

Хозяйка отвечает:

- Ой, постучите по дереву! Очень неплохо, знаете ли, идет наш бизнес.

И видя, что жена ни по какому дереву не стучит, говорит: - Вы все-таки по дереву постучите!

Жена говорит:

- Вы не волнуйтесь, у меня глаз добрый. - Ну, тогда хорошо, - говорит. И отходит.

Извините нас, пожалуйста, - говорит моя жена, чуть не

Кроме того, я

заливаю пожилую американку, одетую в Дольче Габбана, ее мужа-мебельщика, свои практически новые туфли и белоснежную шаль своей жены, чего особенно жаль. - Ёлы-палы, - с неподдельным удивлением говорю я. -

Вроде бы небольшой бокал, а я, кажется, облил тут все. - Саша, - говорит моя жена, - мы им испортили “мёрчан-

дайза” тысяч на десять! - А также вот бабушкино модное достояние, - говорю.

сказал: - Ну, нам пора, а то завтра рано вставать и лететь в Чикаго. А миллионер спросил:

А где стоит ваша машина?

На паркинге D, - сказал я.

- И моя тоже, - сказал он. - А какая у вас машина?

- Рентованная, - честно сказал. - “Тойота Хайландер”. А у вас?

- “Мазерати”, - с достоинством ответил он. - Очень ред-

Дорогая машина, - сказал я.
