EURO ON THE HOBBY.
EURO ON THE HOBBY.
The Finnish women give birth to children that in the house there was a bread. With caviar and
Butter.
Anja worked in our office as the modest secretary. Somewhere
Has met the Finn-builder. Soon the grey-haired Scandinavian
Has taken away Russian wife on the cold native land. We did not see much
Years. Occasionally Anna sent a news - is live, healthy, I raise a daughter,
Colourful photos of the small fairy dropped out of an envelope in
Velvet dresses. When I have got with group of the Russian
Journalists in Helsinki, that, certainly, has first of all found
It: "I Wait for you in" Skandike ", come!" In an hour per a hotel hall
Towards to me there was a charming, self-assured brunette.
The first wine-glass have drunk for a meeting, the second - for children. At their Anna
Already two. To Elena it was executed 12. To kid Erni the fourth year has gone.
Behind conversations-memoirs have not noticed, how there has come night.
"Jaari will not be jealous, what you so have late come back home?"
Anna has put a wine-glass on a coffee table. "My husband call
Toomas. With Jaari we have left almost at once... "-" it is heavy to you,
Probably, it was necessary - one, in another's country, without language, with chest
The child on hands?! "Anna has easily burst out laughing:" It were most
Happy days in my life! Tomorrow I will fetch you, we will have supper at
Us at home. You will look, as I live ".

In the morning our delegation waited in a kindergarten. The organizer of a trip
Olga Auvinen, the director of the House of Helsinki in Moscow, carried out
Functions of the translator.
But all was clear without words. Children - the main riches of the country,
For Finland it is completely not empty declaration. A word "riches",
The truth, has here obvious commercial sense. To be mother -
Some kind of business. And favourable enough.
Judge. Grants on a birth and care of the child a family
Receives, even if both parents the unemployed. For the first-born pay
90 euros monthly, for the second child - 110, for the third - 131,
For the fourth - 151, for everyone the following - 172. Single mother
Receives for each child 34 euros in addition. Children from
Needy families can visit a kindergarten free of charge. But
To city to pay to parents the grant more cheaply, than to give
Additional places in kindergartens. Therefore in Helsinki exists
The developed system of children's playgrounds. A traditional swing, hills and
Etc. plus necessarily premise for job of circles. Building
Cities plan so that on some houses there was such nursery
Platform. Here it is possible to result the child of all on pair hours; while
Mother runs on the affairs, with it the skilled will be engaged
Tutors. In days of a vacation services of children's playgrounds can
To use and schoolboys. The soul of working parents is quiet:
On streets of their child do not loaf, their leisure is organised, and the main thing -
Without a hot food do not remain. And all it - is free, only
It is necessary to pay extra 25 euros for dinners a month. 30 percent
The Helsinki families drive children on platforms. Especially they
Are popular in single mothers - for them it is original club,
Place of a meeting with other mummies.

Anna exhausts "Hondu" in garage on the ground floor, we rise
In the clean lift. Children do not sleep yet. At each of them - the
Room. Over Elena's bed hangs baldahin in stars, she speaks
In Russian with easy accent also does not understand, that such "trick"
(It was necessary to explain on its example cheerful baldahina). In
To school learns besides native Finnish three more languages: Swedish
(The second state language of Finland), English and
French. As a result before me - the young polyglot. Its younger
The brother for the present confuses Russian words to the Finnish. "Spock of night!" -
And karapuz hides for a door of the bedroom. To stack it
The father goes, Anna makes to us a supper.
- Yes, I remained with Lenkoj on hands one, practically not knowing
Language... But under the Finnish laws at divorce the husband is obliged to leave
To the wife apartment. Jaari at once has removed to itself other habitation. I, when
Got divorced, to see it did not want, but here such laws: or the husband,
Or the authorities vsuchat to you the alimony. Also that is absolutely remarkable -
Alimony on the maintenance of the child arrives from the moment of a writing
Statements for divorce. If were for any reasons does not do
It, the state pays to the woman.
Anna has set the table. Toomas a late supper has refused,
Having preferred a football match on the TV. We again proboltali to
The first cocks.
- I have some girlfriends-Finns, they have given birth on 6-7 children,
Not marrying and not having worked day, - also live in clover.
The city completely pays it apartment, light. 2-3 children here
To have it is unprofitable, - Anna has sighed. - either one, or a dozen!
It was found out, as to bring up children Anna it is compelled not
In Russian.
- Interests of children are protected by one million organisations. That
shlepnula the daughter on a bum, can involve almost to criminal
Responsibility! SHCHelban on a head - infringement of the rights of the child. In
To school will not tell at all if you do not know, that 2я 2=4, that
You the fool, on the contrary - will support: a pier, you clever, you can
To name a right answer... All purchases to school - up to
Pencils - every year pays the state. And more give 100
Euro on development of hobbies of the child.
- An, at us in Russia have now started to be engaged in the homeless
Children...
Anna drops a plug.
- About My God! Whence they undertook?!
- Whence children undertake? Mum has given birth to everyone. But to support not
Can, last money spends for vodka. You know, how happens...
- I was not nine years in Russia, at me it does not keep within in
To head... Good, give we will drink for husbands.
Toomas as it is found out, works as the chief of department in
To computer firm. Its salaries suffice to take out all family
Two times a year "in warm edges". Recently they have grown fond
Thailand, flied there even with tiny Erni on hands. Anna twice
In a week for 4 hours per day works in large department store. "For
Form maintenance, - she explains. - and that, sitting at home, is possible
Quickly... Oh, has forgotten, how it in Russian?. obabitsja! ".
She again laughs, easily and carefree.

The charming smile of other woman has met us in private residence п Iп
Centuries on the bank of a gulf. Not so long ago Evu Riitu Siitonen in the second
Time has chosen the mayor of Helsinki. Capital inhabitants call her not differently,
As "city mum".
- We have an ancient proverb: the child brings bread in the house.
Now at us holiday on motherhood - year with the full salary.
Take it can both mother, and the father. This law recently personally
The prime minister has used. Couple of years back our scientists have come
To a terrible conclusion: already in 3-4 years it is possible to see in its child
The future problems. These researches have shown what to put
Means it is necessary in children from the earliest age. It is better, than
Then - in shelters, patronazhnye families, correctional facilities.
Therefore we try to give to the child as much as possible and as it is possible
Earlier.
Having said goodbye to "city mum", we have gone to school
The cities of Vantaa, that nearby to Helsinki. Russian
Journalists have not casually carried there: in this it is perfect
To equipped and is sterile pure school among 550 children - 90 from
Families of emigrants. There are also Russian. 14-year-old Katya half a year back
Has arrived with mum from Vyborg and strenuously learns Finnish. At us
Teachers have asked to help it to absolutely young schoolgirl. Katya took for
Hand the Arabian little girl wrapped up in a scarf, whose family only -
Only has located in a city, and has led on a school corridor
To show, where that is. Behind very tasty dinner in the school
Dining room I have asked the press-secretary of the mayor of Helsinki, it was possible
Whether to it to meet homeless children. Mikael SHier has responded not
At once, obviously, trying to understand my question. "Is not present, such at us in
To the country is not present.
I never saw... It is impossible! "- he has hotly added.
... In hotel two huge boxes - sweets and a mosaic - waited
Puzzle. She is Anna, not having found, has passed gifts to my children.
Lyudmila Volkova.
