Seamen talk that floats only dung, and steamships walk on a sea.

Not vises  seamen of steamship  the “Admiral Nakhimov” is,  as a rule,  persons  having  before  visa and  losing her   by virtue of  different  offenses and  vital circumstances. On   the Crimea-Caucasian line, besides a steamship  the «Admiral  Nakhimov»,  other  passenger liners the crews  of which were also floated,  mainly,  from losing  the visa  of seamen. Again I will specify are seamen talk that floats only dung, and steamships walk on a sea. I will repeat this suggestion in correct marine interpretation. On   the Crimea-Caucasian line, besides a steamship  the “Admiral Nakhimov” ,  other  passenger liners the crews of which were also walked,  mainly,  from losing  the visa  of seamen. Not always the loss of visa took place because of violation by the seamen of operating draconian codes of conduct of soviet man abroad. These jesuitic norms in general now to nobody unclear and can cause only the laughter at modern people. But once they brought grief, shipwreck of hopes and end in relation to happy life of soviet seaman. I, for example, knew one seaman from a number the persons of the officers which lost a visa, to my mind, in general on the circumstances not depending from him. Exactly about this paradoxical case I will tell now. My hero is this middle ages a man, besides direct job, also discharged duties of ship chairman of trade-union committee. In the moment of this tragic event in life of my acquaintance next elections of communist leaders came in a Soviet country. On the vessels of merchant and navy fleet must be also, as well as in an entire country, ballot-boxes draped by red material.  Hero of my narration, being the seaman of the ocean-going sailing, – in the moment of this trouble is loss of visa – there was in Piraeus (Greece). It should be said, that soviet merchant seamen could walk on foreign territory only in groups, by a quantity no less than three men. So this man was appointed by the commissar of ship senior group which was sent to go ashore with the purpose of purchase of red material on a vessel ballot-box.   In a shop, he bargained with a salesman, carefully remeasured red material – in fact on the purchase were given out requiring report ships money.  While my hero  was  busy  at the purchase of matter, one  man from  his  group eloped and  asked  Piraeus of political  refuge in  the police  of port. Afterwards ship  administration appealed to  the Greek  police  with  the false  prosecutions in  the address   of defector is  he,  allegedly,  stole   a ship cashdesk and, as criminal, is subject  to delivery. But Greeks, obviously, knew, what Soviet Union   from within and did not give out a fellow. And character of my narration, as before talked, «closed» a visa. To the moment  of death of steamship  the “Admiral Nakhimov”,  this  seaman  already more than  12  years   worked  on  the Crimea-Caucasian  line in  a hope,  that  organs of KGB  to him  again,  some time,  will open  a visa  for  the exemplary  conduct. And where yet to him to go,  having  specific marine  education,  however  to float along with  the coasts of Soviet  Union  in a cabotage. Therefore between itself seamen named the Crimea-Caucasian line consonant, but diametrically by the name opposite by value is the Crimea -Kolymskaya line.   Kolyma is   the river, district  in  the Magadanskaya region  on Far  East of Soviet Union,  where  from times  of Stalin there are  the camps of prisoners leavings  punishments. In fact for seamen Crimea-Caucasian line-there is in its way, also place of departure of punishment is sailing in a cabotage after oversea trips!

    It’s not a poor boy which stories seldom told. May be he’s a poor but his stories read and read twice. That right.
