I flew to Ustye-Akha by helicopter from Kondinsky, and at the airport I took a taxi to get to Ustye-Akha station on the outskirts of the village. Having stood in a short queue, I quite easily (and I was already worried) bought a compartment ticket for today's train to Yekaterinburg. There was no longer a reserved seat, but a compartment for a local train, for, in fact, a short distance, was very inexpensive. A lot of people took tickets to the general car to Tavda, and the station even hung a bus schedule from the local bus station. A mysterious leaflet hung next to it: “Today there are no places on the evening bus to Tyumen!” Which surprised me - firstly, how did they find out, and secondly, I was sure that this docking miracle of nature leaves at 8 pm for Tyumen empty , as most often happens in such cases when dealing with our lark population. In general, this issue requires further investigation.
Having bought a ticket and looked at the station (a neat station, several tracks, all sorts of timber warehouses start further, i.e. closer to the center of the village), I left on one of the very frequent city buses to the center of Ustye-Akha. What can I say about the village...
In general, it is clear that money began to come to him only now - according to the residual principle, because there is no oil here. On a completely deserted field, where cows graze, a new, gigantic house of culture was built on a completely Khanty-Mansiy-Lower Vart scale. Even, perhaps, there is no such thing in HM.
The village leaves a mixed impression. On the one hand, it is clear that as a village for its residents and with zero tourism, it is quite proud. Here the bakery, and the dairy, and the house of culture have been built off, and the station is neat. The bread is excellent, by the way. One of the best I have eaten. On the other hand, some kind of gouging is felt, like a place left to itself, in which the Russian population lives. Cows roam the yards, the asphalt on the central boulevard has not been laid for 20 years, and I never found a cafe.
Of the architectural sights, I found only a rather large church, but it also seemed more like a new building (I did not find exact information).
However, I repeat, the village did not cause rejection - I walked there decently. I reached the center and the first thing (of course!) I went to look at the river pier. The pier is located 10 minutes walk from the conditional center (there is no way to explain clearly, ask the locals), it is an asphalted descent to an empty river and a small barge without any buildings.
I made sure that if I was bored, then in two and a half hours I would be able to swim to Lugovoi and back, thereby running in one more section of Konda.
Then I went on foot to the center and witnessed a touching ceremony. It was June 22, I must say - a very sad date for our country. And on a hill above the river, where there is a monument to Soviet soldiers, residents of the village and veterans gathered. In fact, I was lucky: I try to spend May 9 every year in Moscow to look at the veterans and express my respect to them; but this year I ended up in Barnaul, because of the time difference, I overslept the morning celebrations and did not see a single veteran. This made me very upset, but in Ustye-Akha I saw 10 people.
Of course, they are all very different, and they are already very old, but they communicate cheerfully and with humor among themselves. Perhaps one of the rare cases when I wake up really patriotic feelings. A very touching ceremony. And I was pleased that for the inhabitants of the village, it also seemed to be important, and not just for show. Even a boy of 12 years old, who carried a wreath in a T-shirt of the Russian national team with the inscription Arshavin (globalization ...), seemed to have an awareness of the importance of the moment.
After watching the half-hour ceremony, I began to walk around the center and unobtrusively look for where to eat. I didn't succeed here. The cafe "Rus" on the boulevard was closed without explanation, the cafe in the house of culture offered only pies and a microwave oven, and when I found out from the local population that there were two good canteens in Mezhdurechensk - one oil workers, the other still at some factory, it turned out that they are both somewhere near the station, about three kilometers on foot. And laziness, and the rain has gone, and I won’t have time for the Zarya.
Therefore, I was content with local bread and sour-milk products, wandered around the center a little more and went to Zarya.
“Dawn”, as I said at the beginning of the report, because of the crisis, was torn into two entities, as it were: the first three days a week she traveled far away - to Kondinskoye; the second, for the remaining four days, twice a day, served as a suburban bus and rode a half-hour flight along the river to the village of Lugovoi. If I didn’t confuse anything, then she went on the same days as the helicopter, that is, three days a week in Lugovoi, in general, it’s impossible to get in except for a motorboat.
"Zarya" was crowded in both directions decently, in the direction of Lugovoy someone even stood. Most of this time it was raining nasty, and it made it difficult to admire the scenery. But he looked at the very mouth of that very Akha. Very cool %))))))
The river is winding, there are no buildings for thirty minutes of the journey, only fishermen walk along the banks and a couple of kilometers to Lugovoe - the airport, where the very well-groomed AN-2 stands beautifully.
By itself, Lugovoy is a (very wet) sawmilling village, where there are all sorts of cars (which, apparently, arrived in winter). I did not notice any special distinguishing features, the expected desolation too.
At the Ustye-Akha pier, I finally left the Konda River, got into the car of a taxi driver, with whom I had agreed in advance in the city, and left for the station. The train turned out to be very neat, and my neighbors in the compartment especially pleased me.
As you know, I have a boring disposition among travelers - if I haven’t washed for more than a day, my mood deteriorates and I want to go home :) But then I got into the company of much more thorough people. An elderly couple, apparently, settled in a compartment about an hour before the train left, put on homemade suits, fluffy house slippers, took out some of their towels, then a whole box of food and began to have an intelligent dinner.
They offered me six times: “Boy, well, change your clothes, don’t be shy, we’ll go out, why are you shy,” although all I had was a fresh T-shirt put on in the morning and a fairly compact backpack. They never understood it. That's really a funny fate for a traveler - you have to be ready to communicate with diametrically different groups of the population.
Before Tavda, I even took a nap for an hour, but at the station itself I definitely went for a walk. We stood for a very long time - 40 minutes, and I decided that during this time I could go around the whole city. Fuck there! %) I didn’t find the center on any of the streets adjacent to the station, and I’m not even sure if it exists there at all. I had to turn off useless walks along the empty evening streets and take a walk a bit near the station. The Tavda station has always amused me with its conceptuality - it already managed to generate trains Tavda - Kharkov and Tavda - Moscow ... No, it is clear that a reserve of conductors is located in Tavda (by the way, the conductors in our train have changed there), but generally speaking the city does not deserve it at all.
But on the way out of it, I (and everyone else who wanted to see it) was awarded a magnificent rainbow.
I could not fall asleep until Turinsk itself, and went out for a walk there too. Alas, Tavda and Tura look from the train as littered with forests, drying up rivers, although they knew times much better. Fortunately, regular navigation has been preserved on Tavda (in Tabory) - maybe someday I will get to know her better.
There is a very beautiful train station in Turinsk - wooden, in such a popular style a la rus. It is not located in the center, so I just made a circle around it, returned to the car and finally fell asleep.
