[16.08.2006]  Tasha SHOROH, specially for the “Other Side”

All country is our stadium

On August 12-13 Donetsk celebrated 70-years of soccer club «Shahter». An event for Donbass is a double sign, because an anniversary followed on victory of Party of regions in Parliament. The festive program was fully devoted «Shahtar».

- And when Donetsk celebrates setting of Victor Yanukovich? - I asked for a taxi-driver on a road from an air-port of Donetsk in a hotel.

-Today. We will celebrate together.

The ordinary habitants of Donbass openly declared what journalists whispered about that politicians were put restraint to wire for sound. A get-together going to Donetsk on the holiday of Victor Yanukovich and Rinat Akhmetov. And a favorite command of all Donbass «Shahter» was born, as impossible by the way. And double, by the way, a command hymn sounded under the opened sky with repetitive lines: All country is our stadium!

In Parliament, like in coal-face.

Beau monde and ordinary people are going to celebrate the anniversary of «Shahter» and victory of Victor Feodorovich. A difference consisted in one – people reacted on everything stormily and gladly, and among an elite an unkind whisper was heard at times: look, listen –it will be also in Kiev soon. Actually, what it will be in Kiev soon such bad - incomprehensible? Will a lot of the Russian artists arrive?  Well. It will be truly entertain footballers?  Not bad. Will speeches from tribunes begin to sound glad? It is better, than full quiet. Is it bad that a command come to power? It is better, than the crushed small groups of feudal lords.

On the Central stadium «Shahter» of August 12 most loud and, it is necessary to notice, sincere applauses tore away, naturally, Yanukovich and Akhmetov. Last names, entering on the special passage-way in VIP-sector in a microphone not announced, but it will a look for what catch: The first president of Ukraine Kravchuk, vice-prime Ribak, Joseph Kobzon with a wife, Kivalov, Rudkovskiy, Krutoy, Surkis, Zvyagilskiy, Shufrich. It is possible a row to continue and continue, but about it already wrote dailies.

The concert program appeared on rareness carefully thought out and prepared. «On a warming-up» Ljudmila Gurchenko went out on the stage with new interpretation of song of the « uncancel light of Donetsk windows » and becoming classic is «Command of our youth ». Phrase of artiste – «I was born in one year with «Shahter» only underlined her fabulous, and commands, and led people. Both Irene Allegrova and Igor Nikolaev came forward then, both Valery Leontev and Tamara Gverdtsiteli. But it was blown off the roar of tribunes: Gradskiy - by an old good song «How we were young », Rotaru, rushing from the stage in people and danced white dance with Yanukovich and, certainly, Joseph Kobzon, who felicitated Victor Yanukovich on victory from the stage, whereupon and Victory «Day of Victory». Master was not limited to this, all the same earth of Donbass for Kobzon is native, and tightened « Young boy went out in steppe Donetsk ». In an especially responsible place passed to a microphone Yanukovich. A premier did not strike a person in dirt and deservingly sang a verse with sense and placing.

After all lines « a fellow young left in coal-face » practically found a new sense and it became clearly, that to Victor Feodorovich was heavier in Parliament as in coal-face.

Entertaining of veterans of «Shahter», trainers and young footballers, a city did not forget about whom Donetsk is under an obligation the flight. Rinat Akhmetov was appropriated a rank the Honoured citizen of city and charged to blow out a name-day cake, that he did together with a command.

The modest charm of bourgeoisie.

After a concert persons, close to the «emperor», left on a ceremony under the opened sky on the base of «Shahter» in village Kirsha. Fed and gave to drink with a grand scale. The mountains of lobsters and vats with red and black caviar brought an idea on that Donetsk is located on a sea-shore. Meladze did not know what song to sing before, because public interrupting one another required and «slow dance» and active melodies. Celebrated and politicians went as aimless, because journalists got tried from plenty of persons and broke off to take comments. Firework blew up sky, encroaching upon a moon and burning enormous letters above a pond – to Shahter is 70. A holiday fluently passed to the «second wedding-day», appointed on Sunday of August 13 in a hotel «Donbass Palas». In the evening all was expected by a friendly reception and, judging to on a tablet on driving on the city of bus, performance of Baskov.

Guests who divided early in the morning, catching up on one`s sleep and dressed up, coming to «Donbass Palas» puzzled. The pair of «weddings generals» seemed nonsense with compared to yesterday. Not many had time to hear the last news: at night in Lugansk people, concert, perished on an area, as well as on a reception abolished. Rinat Akhmetov arrived to the guests, but stayed literally a half a hour and cleanly in English disappeared together with Igor Krutoy and by less knowable persons. An owner was charming both in a holiday and in a hoodoo. And about a holiday abandoned the strongest impression exactly he, instead of all surrounding living and artificial prop.
