00:00:02Russian Federation and in Estonia, but the
00:00:05trend itself, the trend itself,
00:00:08a person who is used to it, he is a free
00:00:11person, he never liked it,
00:00:14I must say that if, let's say, before ninety
00:00:18first year, a policeman came up and said: "Open your bag, please,
00:00:21I want to see what's in your bag", it
00:00:25basically didn't please anyone, and what
00:00:27changed, what would. not like, was,
00:00:31this is never liked, it was suddenly, at the
00:00:34crossing from Narva to Ivangorod, a
00:00:37booth was set up, where it was written customs control, when you
00:00:41went from Narva to Ivangorod, of course the person
00:00:44said, what's it to you, I'm going to Ivangorod, I always walked
00:00:47here, returning from Ivangorod, again, again
00:00:51customs control, the question is, we could
00:00:54probably write the same story, but I just don't know such
00:00:57literature, did anyone write
00:01:00from the residents of Ivangorod, how life changed
00:01:03when the Russian side also set up
00:01:07customs control and so on, everything was arranged on this side, I think
00:01:11this is the same tragedy, and maybe there are also interesting
00:01:15stories, there could be, but we are talking about our side,
00:01:19so to speak, the Narva river and its inhabitants,
00:01:22who, I repeat, and relatives, connections,
00:01:25and work and whatever, and just the feeling of a
00:01:29free person, I can do it. Suddenly they tell you: no, you won't do
00:01:33this anymore, so what's the deal,
00:01:36therefore, the Narva Council of Deputies,
00:01:40people's deputies, decided to
00:01:43eliminate customs posts
00:01:47at the administrative border, this was July 2, ninety-first
00:01:50year, and from here a wave, so to speak, or the first wave
00:01:54of conflict Narva-Tallinn
00:01:58and so on and Daviru,
00:02:00so, the Narvans began to discuss,
00:02:04they pressed, as it were, an interesting button, this
00:02:07button that we, in Estonia, at different levels,
00:02:11theoretically discussed, after all, Estonia itself
00:02:15dreamed of perhaps becoming a special economic
00:02:18zone, in order to earn money from it and
00:02:22profitably develop its economy, here the Narvans
00:02:25came up with the idea that why couldn't we be here and be
00:02:29in a special status? Well, and this special status, of course, to different
00:02:33political circles or the state or Tallinn did not
00:02:36like it, because accusations immediately appeared
00:02:40that the Narvans initially demand a special
00:02:43economic status there, and then they can
00:02:47switch to the side of the Russian Federation or ask
00:02:51for protection from the Russian Federation or whatever. And here
00:02:54a conflict arises that Estonia is united and
00:02:57also territorially united. Discussions
00:03:00are going on at different levels, and,
00:03:03let's say, the whole summer, early autumn here in
00:03:07Narva, very heated discussions are going on, even
00:03:11a special commissioner, as it were, or a special
00:03:14representative of the Estonian government is sent to Narvek,
00:03:17who must constantly monitor the
00:03:19situation, well, and try to resolve all
00:03:23conflicts there, and the problem was not only Narva, but
00:03:26Kohtla-Järve, so, these very...
00:04:00there simply wasn't enough money, I think, there wasn't enough
00:04:03food, people talked about hunger,
00:04:07I remember that coupons were introduced, of course, they were introduced not in ninety-first
00:04:10year, they were, I think, introduced earlier, but in ninety-first
00:04:14year they were still in effect, yes, this
00:04:17period of coupons, well, the population forgets,
00:04:21the younger generation doesn't even know that there was a period of coupons, what it
00:04:24meant, I'll just remind you of one date, it's July 1, ninety-first
00:04:28year, here... this date we could remember, because
00:04:32agricultural products were released at market prices,
00:04:35to somehow calm the people, and mothers
00:04:39of small children, then they said that milk
00:04:42prices should remain as before, everything
00:04:45floated away, in such a situation,
00:04:49if prices in the market
00:04:51grow, there are fewer goods
00:04:55in stores, if the price difference is
00:04:58very large, then the result was
00:05:01that the stores were empty, well, there are a lot of photos,
00:05:05photographers liked, especially those who printed in
00:05:08the West, that well, absolutely.
00:05:11абсолютно.
00:06:13and these coupons were printed there,
00:06:16signs and were used for a
00:06:19short time as an alternative to money in the city
00:06:22of Tartu, to simply give people,
00:06:26the goods were already there, true, with coupons, but it was impossible to buy anything, because
00:06:30for this coupon the products were not given for free, but had to be
00:06:33paid for, and for this, so that there was milk, then
00:06:37I could buy milk with these, when I had
00:06:40a coupon for bread for...
00:07:12it was necessary to buy, that is, you had
00:07:15a coupon right for the right
00:07:18to buy, for example, a kilogram of sugar
00:07:22or two pieces of soap, that is, you showed
00:07:25the coupon, they gave you soap or sugar
00:07:28for the coupon, and you still paid
00:07:32money for it, I'm talking about these coupons, yes, I remember
00:07:35it well, because it depended on how many people were in
00:07:39the family, sometimes this coupon sheet was...
00:07:42huge, and the coupon had to be
00:07:45cut out, if you wanted a loaf of bread, then you had to cut
00:07:49out a small piece from a large sheet, you give it
00:07:53to the seller, the seller gives you a loaf of bread, and you
00:07:56pay for it, this procedure was very familiar
00:07:59to us, then another market appeared, it must be said,
00:08:03and this meant that if someone didn't smoke, who smoked,
00:08:06he didn't have enough of these coupons, so there was an exchange
00:08:10of coupons, for example, young mothers... exchanged
00:08:13cigarettes, well, I don't know, for washing powder, for example, because
00:08:17children, clothes were dirty, a lot of washing
00:08:20was needed, and more washing powder was needed, just in
00:08:23case, because people somehow remembered World
00:08:27War II crises, they bought a terrible amount
00:08:31of soap, so I think that we still have pensioners
00:08:35who still have some pieces of soap from
00:08:38ninety-first year in their closet, because these were indeed reserves.
00:08:43Then alcohol, especially vodka, was currency,
00:08:46because if you needed, for example,
00:08:50to solder or weld something, to repair something
00:08:53in the apartment, then you could have rubles,
00:08:56but would you find a master, and if you had half a liter
00:09:00of vodka, maybe, of course, you still had to pay extra,
00:09:03then you found a master, or in the village
00:09:06tractor drivers, first you needed a bottle of vodka, and then the
00:09:10tractor driver would even talk to you. So these
00:09:13coupons, whoever was a teetotaler or, say,
00:09:17minimally used alcohol, then some
00:09:20alcohol market or black market for alcohol
00:09:23also appeared, well, I can just remember, because there were
00:09:27different years and depending on how you went to
00:09:30work, if you didn't have pensioners in your family,
00:09:33for example, my wife and I both studied and we
00:09:37went to work in the morning, when we returned and took
00:09:41the children from kindergarten... at the same time we bought,
00:09:44for example, bread and wanted to buy a bun, then our
00:09:48youngest son for a long time, when he started talking,
00:09:52confused bread and bun, the older children laughed a lot, because
00:09:55they were so much older, they were before the crisis, they knew exactly
00:09:59what a bun was and what bread was, but it just happened that, well, you can't
00:10:03say that it lasted a long time, but there were periods when there was simply
00:10:07no bun by that time, everything was
00:10:09limited.
00:10:15In our studio was legal historian Peter Yarvalaid, cadet of the
00:10:19military academy 1991
00:10:22participated in the program.

00:11:08words, my head is spinning, the gossip is already spreading
00:11:11through the yards, that between us there's a something, what
00:11:15can I talk to you about, we lost the thread, though I'm not with you,
00:11:18stop and sleep at home, we can't be measured
00:11:21by eyes now, why are we pressing the brake?
00:11:25not the gas, the eternal question, why and for what, I'm
00:11:28slowly losing my mind, you're not yourself, and these nights in
00:11:32Crimea, now to whom will I, if I meet, then I'll tell
00:11:35him, your squeaky voice, like an electric shock, that

00:18:57torn from the heavens by the icy
00:19:01breath of the wind, a scarlet
00:19:04star fell into the darkness.
00:19:08Maybe this time it will come
00:19:11true, at least for example, and
00:19:14my wish will reach
00:19:17him,
00:19:20bitterly funny,
00:19:23to entrust desires to the stars, but
00:19:27when the soul cannot bear
00:19:30the truth, how much I want
00:19:33to believe that it's not too late.
00:19:37Maybe everything can still
00:19:40be saved, you hear

00:26:54sight,

00:27:00you promise to be my wife, but
00:27:04then you were only eight years

00:27:11just about tonight, I thought that
00:27:14life was always good, I thought you
00:27:17always would be mine, started with
00:27:21kids,
00:27:24never thought it would come to
00:27:27me, it started with a
00:27:30king.
00:27:33never thought it would come to this, I
00:27:36remember, I remember every little
00:27:38thing,
00:27:42like fighting in the playground,
00:27:46cuz some good-looking
00:27:47boy,
00:27:50it started to hang
00:27:52around,
00:27:56that boy hurt me so bad, but I was
00:28:00happy, because you cried
00:28:03still, I couldn't help but
00:28:06notice that new distant look
00:28:09in your eyes and
00:28:12then when you were
00:28:1516 and I had just turned
00:28:1817, just turned 17,
00:28:22I couldn't hold to your love, I
00:28:25couldn't hold to my
00:28:27dream, it started with
00:28:29kids.
00:28:33never thought it would come to

00:28:41with keys, never thought it would come to

00:29:09story,
00:29:11and my heart began to beat so
00:29:13fast, so clear was my
00:29:17memory,
00:29:21I heard my voice cry out her name, and as
00:29:25she looked and looked
00:29:27away,
00:29:30I felt so hurt, I fell so small, and it
00:29:33was all that I could
00:29:36say,
