The system of medical-labor dispensaries (LTP), existing in the Republic of Belarus, has long become outdated and obsolete. LTP did not meet the challenges of our time, not solve the problem of alcohol abuse population, but at the same time violates a number of fundamental principles of human rights. Evidence of this is the story of Haradok resident, Vyacheslav Zharkoy, who twice went through institutionalized state system of civil rights restrictions.

Vyacheslav, tell our readers what was the reason for your isolation in LTP.

It was just before "Dozhinki – 2014". Our local policeman saw me drinking beer in the store. When I came out on the street I was waiting for a police car, and the policeman cop. "Did you drink?" – He asks. "I did" – answer. One has only just be drunk and get into the field of view of the police, you begin to "mouth." Not even look at what you are, for example, of the guests you go to a light drunk. The protocol still write: "Had a slovenly appearance, lurching from side to side ..." A protocol to disagree – our own peril: you go for a day. I agree – get off two or three basic. Three drive, the fourth control – and a court order for compulsory treatment in the LTP. And there is no cure, there are maimed. In my case, not even looked at what I look after eighty mother.

Tell me, what categories of the population fall into the so-called "compulsory treatment"?

Who gets? Yes, different people. There was, for example, there is a category that we call "beer boys". The park had a drink of beer, drank a beer about the entrance, caught – and LTP. He was nineteen years old, and he was having a birthday in LTP meets. What is it to be after such a school? If he did not know what balm "Moscovya", lamivit, tincture of hawthorn, there it fast train.

We also had the homeless, which in the LTP for the happiness of winter outstay. The bed is clean, once a week linen vary, some no soldering is, in a bath every week reduce. We have a team, for example, it could be on his arrival home from work to wash at least every day. Typically, the homeless got just hatched.

Of those who are in the LTP, eighty percent of the convictions. There were respectable people: journalist with two higher educations, a former military man, Colonel Retired. He came out of retirement – washed down with nothing to do. His wife passed. When he drove into the LTP on his card was about five thousand dollars, which he rescued from the sale of cars. Contingent wide: from 18 to 60 years.

It is clear that people who have got to "compulsory treatment" are addicted to alcohol, and they should be treated. So how do you treat in the LTP?

No treatment was not there: the limitation period – and all! The whole year in the role of "SP" – an isolated offender. On admission to the LTP – two weeks of quarantine. Some, however, if the seats are not enough to live there for a month. Sometimes a person comes after a long binge, but no it does not put a dropper. They did, some injections. What – I do not know. Of I at this – everything.

Even in the case of a malaise get in the infirmary one much sought – a more expensive, especially if you're on lack of convoy. At work do not go, you lose a day, respectively, and will lose in salary. It turns out that people just stupid LTP is isolated and no treatment. We had a man who found himself in thirteen times LTP – so here is the effect of the treatment.

So, it turns out that the only cure work?

One happy if get to " lack of convoy". I was lucky. I went to work in Biešankovičy, Viciebsk sheathe siding shop. Has come on 10 November and 13 December was already at work. I'm a carpenter by profession. But luck is not everything: from 600 people leaving the country to work not more than a hundred a day. Remaining engaged in routine – purified from wire insulation, which were brought from the cable plant. In such a situation a month earned two packs of cigarettes. When leaving a job search, on his return – the same procedure. Who was sitting, I said that the most common mode.

And how much you paid for your work?

Pay me for my work monthly two million one hundred thousand "dirty". After all the deductions remained one million nine hundred thousand, of which the arms were supposed to twenty-five percent – is somewhere in the 410-420 thousand. This amount could buy food at the store. Restrictions on purchases not. However, the mark-up on goods amounted to fifteen percent. The rest of the money went to pay for food and maintenance.

Share how LTP fed patients. Does eating enough?

Nobody goes hungry. However, when the first time I was there, about eight months in the morning fed a semolina. And usually bring chickens, removal of old age, which cannot be sold. We even laughed about it: "One can understand: as long as the Borough of reach Viciebsk foot – skinny." And in the evening, for example, herring or salted anchovy. Gave it with potatoes and porridge. Most of porridge. After that, on the outside, I do not what it is, do not want to, I cannot watch it. Food is prepared on margarine is not the best quality.

When I aggravated ulcer six months sitting on a diet. On the morning of the diet was put a pat of butter and a glass of milk at lunch and in the evening to eat the same thing, that's all. That's the whole diet. From delicacies: Tuesday and Friday morning on the egg. If the will of "heating", no help there, then have a hard time.

Say a few words about how your life and leisure was organized?

The room we had twenty one people, beds arranged in two tiers. The passage from the detachment to detachment closed.

In the month it was laid five razor blades, which it was almost impossible to shave. If you remember, the blades were "Neva" – one to one. In addition, for the month were given a piece of soap and toilet polkusochka. Sometimes soap had a rather peculiar smell.

Restrictions on receiving parcels there, watching television is allowed on Sundays. On weekdays – only at a certain time after five. There is DVD – will bring to the wheels, which previews an administration, determines whether it is possible to allow for viewing.

Short visits with relatives can at least every day. Over the long-term (three-day) meeting to be paid.

Every week comes to an Orthodox priest who wish to attend the service. Works there and psychologist, it helps to understand some personal psychological problems. At work without a visit to a psychologist you no release.

What relates to an isolated offender administration and staff of LTP?

The ratio of staff, supervisors and management normal, all addressed formally. Although if the employee is someone dislikes, work you will not be released. Not God forbid as if in the characteristic district wrote "inclined to escape" – return to work, too, do not get. And if you will, and with no one to help – anguish. Is there a disciplinary room – insulator, where for ten days can put the offender. When two or three refusals from work can add two to three months of additional accommodation. For all escape is possible to obtain up to six months additives. And such cases were. However, we had a man: he did not like something, pulled over the fence – and meet. I left, it was never found.

What are the negative consequences of staying in LTP is facing after the will of a former patient?

After the LTP to me now as a carpenter, cannot work at a height, no one will give admission. But I can cover the roof. Now one way: a broom in hand and revenge. Three years will be on the account. Who was the driver – all can forget about their driver career.
