Igor Sologub biography

One of the people who stood at the origins of the radio station spoke about its Seville roots, and at the same time apologized for the torn lesson in geography in M, remembered the escape from the Lithuanian KGB and the tradition of student pain. They gathered an old, student company, which went to the first league, and some guys specially arrived from Moscow. When we walked through the park, there was a feeling of deja vu.

It seemed that now in these bushes people would pour port, and young people would swim in front of the Vostok restaurant. But you open your eyes and see that instead of a vase is now a fountain, and the stadium is completely different. But the most important thing for me was the number of people that I have never seen in Primorsky Park lately. This sensation at the physical level transfers you to former times.

The most striking impression was then a violent fan in the central sector, which constantly jumped up, reproached everyone in a row and shouted: “Who are you rooting for?

They don’t know how to play! One your guy is normal - in the gate - Tkachenko! Ours, Voroshilovgrad! I well remember how I once walked school, because my older sister and her future husband sent me for tickets for the match “Zenit” - “Torpedo”. I bought five tickets, but we did not agree where and how we will meet. I called all the possible phones from the machine gun, went to my sister to work, but in the end I didn’t even get on football myself.

Then, driving on a tram along the Kamennoostrovsky bridge and seeing the stadium mast, he even burst into tears because I was not there. But I also could not restore the date of this match - the details do not coincide! From childhood from the matches of Zenit, there was a feeling of something big and significant. I really loved to be in autumn matches that began in natural light, but in the process of which masts turned on.

The picture immediately changed completely. At childhood, all the successes of Zenit x were and. I examined my old notebooks - all of them are written by The Beatles and painted with arrows. I tried to mention Zenit in every school essay, where it could at least somehow be pulled to the topic. By the way, the graduation in the 8th grade on the topic “Best People of our City” I wrote about Pavel Sadyrin-it was completely sincere.

He was for me a model of valor and the embodiment of some special Leningrad character. Although everyone knows that he is from Perm. He is from the first Nakhimov set, and in the year in Tbilisi, where the Nakhimov school was then located, a campaign to football was part of a compulsory cultural program. True, they were praised for anyone - the main thing is against Dynamo Tbilisi.

For this, they were not loved at the stadium and called the "small semi -thunder." Well, again, dad began to be interested in football when he had already stopped serving. They had their own company from the Naval Academy. I also had a chance to join her, although together with my dad we were more likely to hurt the TV. In the morning after the championship match, I bought all the newspapers there - from Leningradskaya Pravda to Izvestia, not to mention Soviet sports.

I also made a Zenit tie for myself - I attached a pennant to the pioneer tie and ironed it with a iron. In the first lesson, we wrote a control on Capital Carl of Marx, but the newspapers gradually creeped around the class. I am still ashamed of a geography teacher, a practical student of incredible beauty, who was trying to lead the lesson. She was not lucky then, everyone else was happy.

When Zenit passed the first round and hit the Finns, there was no doubt that we were moving on. The first match did not work out, but we were sure that everything would be fine. Our class then went on an excursion to Lithuania, we lived at school and in the evening we were able to watch the second half in the recording - it seems that the television was accepted by the Finnish channel.

The next day, in frustrated feelings, we went to some Kaunas courtyer to drink beer. Then they took the crayons and painted the Zenit Strelka on the wall, and at the same time signed: “School 90”. Immediately after that, behind our backs, a man appeared in a gray suit. Two friends and I managed to escape, and he took our three comrades inside. It turned out that we painted the local KGB department.

The guys were quickly released, but with a bucket and rags. From that time there was a vivid memory left - you came to the match without a ticket and in the break you go up to the ring. Giveled the score! And something similar could be heard constantly regardless of rivals and even a league. But for us with friends, this was already part of life: after all, people go to their children's concerts to a music school, even if they play poorly.

We had our own traditions. Running off some pairs, we sometimes late by the beginning of the match, but it was fundamentally important to come in the first 15 minutes. Because if we did not have time, then somewhere between y and y, Sergey Bartholomew scored a goal. After the match, we usually went down to the water and there we discussed the ups and downs of the past match and the future of the team, which usually looked much more optimistic from this angle.

But I remember the same Obukhovets very well. Near the river, where the ball sometimes flies.The stands from which you can grab an opponent for their underpants. At the same time, quite a lot of people - in any case, enough to fill in three rows of benches. Such a quintessence of the English style! But at the same time, a feeling of hopelessness from what is sometimes happening on the field.

When they are now talking about biased refereeing, and even more so the murder of one of the teams, I would like to send everyone there. These were the times when the rivals did not whistle the fouls, forgave offsids several meters, put the left penalties. It is not surprising that Zenit then almost flew even lower. On the collective farm, in the interval between pulling the carrots, I read in the newspaper Television and Radio, which is set in the Zebra youth program.

He arrived at Chapygin and saw the turn of Kirovsky Prospekt, the current Kamennoostrovsky. Everyone was very elegant and fashionable, but I just managed to shave my beard and did not even change clothes. By ten in the evening I went inside in the penultimate ten, tired people asked to tell a little about myself and, it seems, gathered home. But one woman still suggested that I come to the second round.

As a result, they took me. My main role is probably remembered by many of those who were a teenager in the year. But in general, the work was different. At the same time, I tried to introduce football into it as far as my strength. And when the large masters, including Gennady Sergeyevich Orlov, stopped playing football, I was able to prove myself on the field.

For a long time I was the captain of the television team, and if we did not achieve much success in big football, then they terrified other journalistic groups in the mini. In addition, television made it possible to visit football in other cities. In particular, when Zenit left the Kirov stadium, for some reason I did not accept the Lenin stadium. For me, he remained at the athletic stadium, where I once passed the standards.

Therefore, I did not want to go to home matches. But in Moscow, where you had to ride constantly, our cultural program necessarily included going to the theater and football. So at visiting matches I have been much more often. Continued to worry about Zenit? Each party in Moscow ended for us to execute the anthem of Zenit. It was a moment when you were very clearly aware of who you are, where and why, for which Moscow is very much.

In general, I had a simple position there, sounding like "hit Moscow." I often wrote it on a plate and showed it to my best Moscow friend - Spartak fan. He in response wrote to me: “Urine Peter! Then they began to throw pieces of paper at each other, then paper baskets. It was fun. Then there were four more of them, but many consider this most interesting - then the stars went to shoot for the first time.

Moreover, they lived in the field, without any messages-in one of the next seasons everything was already much more relaxed. They said that Sasha Kerzhakov was even gathered for that “hero”, but in the end made a choice in favor of training. So he was present on the island only in the form of a T -shirt, which I acquired after a match with Rostov two days before departure to his place.

Already in M ​​I returned from the filming of the next season right in front of the match with Lokomotiv, which became Serebryany for Zenit. On the way to the stadium, we immediately figured out the gifts that I brought, so the mood was combat. I remember how I ran after Kiritsa, unsuccessfully trying to take a T -shirt from him. Igor Maksimenko then took Mike from Konoplev.

To finally penetrate the moment, we even bought Grebenshchikov’s branded cassette for some crazy money and listened to it all evening, continuing to note success. In return, I came up with a new program, the leading of which was to become a person who is interested in football, but does not understand it too much. This man was still very young Fedor Pogorelov. The program turned out to be successful, moreover, it was almost the only project of the then city Channel then, which successfully competed with federal broadcasting.
