I'll write about my city! About Donetsk. This is certainly not a person .. Yes, I do not ask that this story participate in the competition .... I just wanted to write ... Donetsk is not such an old city as it can not be perceived by him yet and 200 years, the bare ground is 1869. Once the Englishman, the capitalist John Hughes, came to our steppes and founded an ore-mining company, there were 4 settlements, settlements, ... later discovered coal, which they began to mine ... the quality of coal was quite high and there is, it's far from that Coal that is mined in Poland, South Africa or America ..
A lot of mines were created, and an influx of labor from Belgorod, Kursk, Tula, Orel, and Kaluga provinces began. I think if you stop 10 people on the street, then 9 grandmothers, grandfathers, great-grandmothers will be from there, so historically ...
Further there was a revolution, power to the people, NEP (new economic policy), Donetsk, then it was called Yuzovka developed at a great pace. And of course the Great Patriotic War, Donetsk was packed with German-fascist invaders, but on September 8, 1943 our city was liberated, it was then called Stalin. Maybe it was tough, but even then it reflected the character and strength of the Donchan's will!
To the south of the steppes where Donetsk is founded there are many Greek settlements that have remained since the time when the Greeks were sailing for the Golden Fleece! This is me to the fact that Donetsk is a multinational city, in 2010 there were 127 representatives of nationalities .. A multi-religious, multi-confessional city, a synagogue near the Catholic church, cemeteries Orthodox and Muslim nearby, respect and respect for each other here was laid down for years ... to explain it very much It's difficult if you have never been in Donetsk ... The mentality of people differs sharply from even the neighboring cities of Kharkov and Rostov ... it's such a rattling mix, pride, originality, courage, and many more positive qualities ...
I think very few people know that from Donbass such people as Luzhkov, Khrushchov, film actor Leonid Bykov (only old men go to battle), Sergey Prokofiev - world-famous musician, cosmonaut Georgy Beregovoi, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, singer Yosif Kobzon and Anatoly Solovyanenko, Footballers Vitaly Starukhin, pole -Sergei Bubka, famous ballet dancer -Vadim Pisarev, world champion in gymnastics - Lilia Podkopaeva, Donetsk Land - Land of Leaders and Talents !!! Many of the phrases that live in the slang of Muscovites, Petrograders, originate here .. philologists have investigated this phenomenon, but the explanations have not been found, from the last phrases ... "Well, like that," "braked" "puffed out" "Tus "And so on, in due time these are the phrases that appeared in films in the Soviet," I give you this white horse "" I'm not there for you "and much much, as for me - the explanation is the simplest, the presence of the carrier of many languages engender dialect phrases Type "vodka drink, the earth roll around" just born here))) your business is to believe or not ...
And here Donetsk developed and in 1979 in our city a millionth person was born! No one even imagined what kind of tests our Donetsk had been waiting for ... since 1991 the theme of NATO was unobtrusively tapped in the Donbass, small stereotypes were pumped through and so on, that is, what is happening in Donetsk has already been laid since 1991, technically everything was done correctly And correctly, did not take into account one, the factor of "Donetsk" did not allow to work out the plan, to separate on religious grounds as in Serbia did not work, the topic was successfully pumped in neighboring cities, but not in Donetsk. The same factor that the main working profession in Donetsk is a miner also worked. People of this profession go down every day to the Earth, realizing how great the risk of dying ... but still they do it again and again ... To frighten a person who is ready for death every day is very, very hard .... this is a fact .. .
Nevertheless, the European Football Championship was held in Donetsk. Fans from Britain who were at matches in Donetsk and Kiev noted that you seem to be living in one country, but differ as much as we are from the Irish !! These are their words ...
And this was confirmed by the events of 2014, the war began, whether we are good or bad, time will judge, but we are different in the mentality, values that our mothers with milk are laying ......
I wanted to describe not only the city of Donetsk, but also Donetsk, as far as I got it, I do not know
