This is a book about the life of current residents of Vilnius - the everyday and the holidays behind the scenes by the artist's memories and the last of the Soviet Vilnius mayor Algirdas Vileikio story. You will not find any policy, the book written in an easy style to many current topical insights with gentle irony and humor.
Forget even yourself that time and it seems that the girl was standing in line at a dark gray, rough toilet paper or coated with chocolate desserts Lithuanian, was not I, but any film heroine. Includes a reverse sort of deja vu feeling - although there were, and did not like but ...
I wanted to Algirdas india population Vileikis tell what it was in Vilnius, we do not know even know if it untold. He opens the secrets of the Soviet history of the city treasury of the door, and pointed domestic, everyday things - what and why and then we ate and drank, which in turn on the heat and how much it cost, then traveled around the words build bridges, india population stretching the streets, boarded india population and then got out of the congested trolley opened in Vilnius at the wound - the Roma settlement, agreed and released a respectable inhabitants and visitors of the city - astronauts, actors, singers, politicians, athletes, themselves went behind the Iron Curtain in the cities, which then befriended Vilnius - Erfurt, Duisburg, Salzburg, Joensuu, Pavia.
Many times various companies offered me to write a book to share memories of Vilnius. Decade after decade, they ran, but I'm so reluctant. But eventually I realized that I am still a dude who knows about life in the city more than others. Therefore, after much deliberation, I decided and I decided to become india population a companion india population book to reveal the secrets of the most interesting city, important events, tell us why Vilnius then looked, and not otherwise.
In his account of Vilnius, this book does not pretend to historians, the events of that time assessors, I am a living witness, tells the story of the then Vilnius and all our lives - everyday, holidays, interesting encounters, comic and tragicomic stories. The book will remind you of the truth of life - cities outliving order and for us, the people.
If a time machine could go back to the year 1974, when the city began to lead Algirdas Vileikis, so many surprising image - in the fall and even winter open for almost all apartment windows. Heating cost is very cheap, so the apartment was too hot, the heat capita spend on opening windows and vents.
What is meant by low heating? One resident of Vilnius, until now lives in a block of two rooms, india population 44 sq. m. in the apartment, found in February 1980, the monthly bill for utilities: Heating - 3 rubles 60 kopeks, and hot water coil charge - 1 ruble 98 kopek, india population cold water - 96 pennies, gas - 48 pennies, door and patio cleaning - 39 pennies (all calculated on the basis of population, and then lived in this apartment three people). The average salary at the time was 80-120 rubles.
No packet windows, insulated walls to any home then there was nothing about such things have not been heard. Warm and apartment was quite a lot of dormitories and corridors, so my multi-generation children loved playing in stairwells. We, the girls, playing "house" - the corridor to stretch onlays sites to deliver doll furniture and play for hours - it was not a computer. The neighbors on the way to their apartments, patiently and respectfully transcended the game islets. The most important thing - the staircases were warm even in the coldest winter. india population
The same was the case with tap water when a man talking on the phone, often even tighten the tap - no meter has been nothing nefiksavo how much they consume, so the water was not a virtue, and tap runny given. That may run out of water, making citizens aware of only the last day of the year, when the tap point what the third hour of the day and the water hissing voice it will not give it.
I do not know whether residents understood that this occurs on vacant tank, but certainly india population not one of the older generation india population from Vilnius to tell the story of how the buckets, bottles would go to the field installed water pumps where the water was also free and could prisileisti anyone. For example, residents of the apartment Karoliniškių days go by water to Žvėryno outdoor speakers. Some, remembering that last year remained before the new agreement neišsimaudę water in various containers cautiously poured in advance. And if the winter was snowy, snow delve it at home on the stove to defrost and as a wash.
