Government officials and propagandists unsuited official media never tire of the Commonwealth to prove common people as well in Belarus live the common man, how hard the state cares about every citizen. But if you do not perceive reality through the images in the receiver box and look at the life of a private eye, faith in the words of the official propaganda is lost.
In story of Viciebsk resident Tatiana Sushkevich not unusual. She worked at the state enterprise for decades. As long as was necessary and could force the government to give – he lived relatively well: even had a small, but stable income, enjoyed some of my privileges, had a roof over his head. But everything changed instantly when the power of a woman ran out and it is time to retire to her ...
The retirement age has brought not only a decrease in income – business as usual, which should accommodate almost everything, who "fulfilled his." It is in the West, where the "wild capitalism", many retirement just beginning to live – are engaged in charity work, sports, their own health, paying more attention to their hobbies, travel around the world. In the "blue-eyed" which authorities declared the country a "socially oriented", the luxury of a carefree lifestyle can afford units – those who were lucky enough to have children with good salaries, ready to help their elders, and former government officials, who for some special services to Countries have the pension, which is several times higher than usual.
Tatyana Ivanovna was not lucky: the rich kids is not the official has not been. But there is nothing particularly wrong – live somehow on other ordinary Belarusian retiring and not too complain. Only now it turns out that becoming a pensioner, live woman was nowhere.
Having worked for the state nearly his entire adult life, Tatiana Sushkevich was unable to buy a home of your own. Since 1982, he lived in the departmental hostel – though not luxurious conditions, but they used to. Working is not particularly concerned about the future. I believed that the state will not leave her with nothing – it is so beautiful in speakers from the TV screen tells how the country care for every resident...
But official propaganda – one thing, and reality – absolutely nothing. As soon as arrived at by the age and severed the employment relationship with a woman, sending her on a well-deserved retirement, they demanded the release of the room in which she had lived for more than thirty years. There was a court, which ruled to evict the former worker – for a new generation of workers, who are full of energy to work for the state-owned enterprise, is also somewhere to live.
To help the newly made pensioner, which suddenly struck trouble, offered to a human rights activist Paul Levinau. He advised her to turn to the "people's choice", MP from Viciebsk Sergey Bohan. But he either did not want, or is unable to resolve the issue. Helped rights activist Tatyana Ivanovna also make a complaint against the court decision on her eviction, but the complaint has not brought results.
There is a court decision – and soulless state machine gear mechanism spun. One fine day, far into the room Tatiana descended bailiffs. "We just follow orders, and circumstances of the case do not concern us", – said the comely Servants Act.
"And where the old woman go now?" – I tried to stand up for human rights pensioner Paul Levinau, who arrived at the place. – "I do not know. This – not our business. There was a trial, and we are only artists", – was the answer.
It would seem that everything is correct. After all, everything is done in accordance with the letter of the law. And the court was right – took the decision in accordance with the Code and court officers – they just completed a prescribed them. And the story of Mrs. Tatiana Sushkevich not unique – such stories, when people have worked their and were then thrown into the street, – thousand.
However, becoming afraid to live in such a country, which the authorities for some reason called "socially oriented", and which is actually a person who has worked all his life to this country and nothing else can give him – nothing. Tomorrow on the spot "waste material", the fate of which is no longer concerned about the "performers" serving the public system can be also you yourself...
