Biography Elistratov Yuri

Jurabs themselves are a type of socks or golf. Their difference from socks lies not only in the knitting technique, but also in properties. Jurabs rush longer, wipe much less, have a pronounced warming effect. For knitting, a very thick and rather rough yarn from lamb wool is used, which is further processed in a special way. Autumn and Baku winter are quite cold. Therefore, with the onset of cold weather, our whole house drove into Jurabs.

Clans are shoes without backs, such as slopes. The legs in the jibes were easily inserted into the alusted and it was convenient to slap on the asphalt in them. Sometimes the alusts were called dude. Shoes without asses are very popular in the East. In a hot climate, such shoes are cooling the legs. They are convenient to lose and wear them. In Europe, such people can immediately be determined by the stoles on the legs.

The property of this shoe - when moving, the free backdrop claps on the heel quite loudly. It is especially pleasant to eastern men, throw the dude, put the leg on a chair and pick with one hand between the fingers, and hold the glass-armude with tea, sitting in a teahouse. On the face, at the same time, sensual pleasure is clearly visible. I saw this not only in Baku, but also in Europe.

She was engaged in passenger transportation, but the presence of a separate, isolated from the general network of Konke, the tram line, made this line unprofitable. Therefore, it was closed in G. in my children's memories of the Baku tram, I remembered very well. In the war years, it was the only public transport. The Swedish and British Neftezhizheev built tram lines very competently.

The network of tram rails served both the center of Baku and the oil and oil of Bailov and the Black City. This was necessary for the owners of the oil industry to carry workers to them. Tram wagons withstood the test of time and were in good condition. Given the climate, they were well ventilated, as the windows rose up. It was a special chic, sticking out his head to substitute his face with the opposite wind.

Again, it was interesting to examine the streets and houses floating outside the window. It was interesting to consider one -story shops, and especially the goods hidden for sale. I especially remember the wall paintings with scarlet swans and beauties on the shore. This real oriental bazaar existed the whole war and even a few years later. The only problem of the trams of that time was the sites for sitting.

They were wooden. The main danger was the nails attaching the boards of seats. Some of them protruded above the surface. It was about such a nail that I broke my pants on my ass. The fact is that my mother and I went to arrange me in the brass band of the Baku naval school. The main thing was that the orchestra was accepted to study the playing on the instruments, and the main one was three meals a day.

The latter was very important in the hungry post -war light. With a hole in the pants on the ass, I appeared in front of the conductor of the orchestra. He sat down to the piano, began to gain melodies, and I had to sing them - so my musical hearing was checked. I failed this exam with a bang, as I listened not to the melody, but bashfully covered the hole in his pants with his palm.

It was very offensive! So the Baku tram, his nail in the seat took away from me the fate of the maid of the spiritual orchestra of the Baku naval school. Next time, the tram deprived me of a grocery gift at the New Year tree in the Baku House of Pioneers. Trying to save money, I went to the Christmas tree on the tram buffer. As a sin, it was on this day that the police raided the boys, who, like me, were driving not inside, but from the outside the tram.

I could not break through the police network even with a crowd of boys, was arrested. We were kept in some gym before the arrival of our parents. Mom came for me, paid a fine, gave me a pendel on her neck and took the saved heels. I was going to buy chewing gum - cava for these heels. It was possible to blow out bubbles from it. It was especially sorry not to get a Christmas gift.

And the last. Our house was on a hill between the city center and Kirov’s Nagor Park. Given the steepness of the ascent, a tram from one car went to us. Two cars could not climb such a mountain. The wagon rose slowly, which made it possible, how to trample on him on the go and jump. This was used by the boys. In principle, this was dangerous. And once digging unsuccessfully, a boy fell under the wheels.

It crushed him immediately and to death. As one of the spectators, I remembered this case for life. More since then I have not indulged with the tram!
