Koljasochniki.
Koljasochniki.
The GUY, not hurrying up, but confidently went down from a high ladder
On an invalid carriage. To sidewalk remains three steps,
When the carriage was sharply filled up back and its passenger has fallen to a back.
Passers-by observing a scene have gasped and have stood, and the guy on all fours
Has gone down downwards, has reached a carriage, has got on it and has gone to
To high border through which it was necessary to get over somehow...
In four walls.
LIFE koljasochnika in Moscow - a continuous problem, infinite
Stress. It begins already in apartment, where narrow doorways,
Small bathrooms and not to reach switches. To live in it without
It is impossible for assistance. But it is necessary, and tens
Years bezvylazno if there will be no the one who will be voluntary
To drag on itself about hundred kgs on access ladders:
Even if in the house there is a lift, into it does not enter 32-kilogramme
Wide invalid carriage. In Moscow of an order of 127 thousand inhabited
Houses, and only one hundred from them is adapted for
Invalids-koljasochnikov, i.e. in these houses there are ramps,
Lifts or goods lifts. From 159 Moscow hotels only
Two are equipped by ramps, from four hundred large shopping centres
Only 50 are accessible to people on carriages.
Basically to begin it was necessary from the carriage. Give out it in
Social security free of charge, once in 5-6 years. Sometimes, the truth, it is necessary
To stand in turn, but it is rather short, a little
Months. A carriage which today give out in Moscow social securities,
Many years have been developed back and the sick-list represents
Variant: heavy - 32 kg, wide, with clumsy wheels. Now
Other carriages are issued: convenient, facilitated, narrow and
The mobile. If very strongly to insist, in a social security will give out and
The such. A carriage after all it as the footwear convenient, raznoshennaja, but on
To the size. Dream of any invalid-koljasochnika - the device German
Firms "Meier" which cheapest model costs 1000 dollars, and
Electric carriage - 5000 dollars By the way, the majority of beggars
In the Moscow transitions sit just on majerovskih carriages,
Bought on ours with you of a handout.
And so, a carriage to receive it is possible, but for this purpose it is necessary to reach
To a social security and... To get to it. Any capital social security not
It is equipped by a ramp or the lift, the same concerns and
The medical organisations, in which any invalid - the frequent visitor.
That koljasochnik could move on a city, for it exists
Only one metro station "п п я я я я п п п?" where there is a ramp and
The lift which has been solemnly opened about 7 years ago and from those
Time never worked. There is still such service, as "Invataksi", -
These are 20 cars to all Moscow, they go with 9 to 18, but to phone in
Service it is possible with the same success, as well as in the general help
The Moscow Ry stations.
On street?
HERE therefore we also did not have invalids, that to anybody from them not
Came to mind to overcome obstacles and to leave on the general
Review. From hundred with superfluous thousand Moscow
Invalids-koljasochnikov of percent 90 till now are locked up,
In tens years plying between four walls of apartment. And others
Left on streets of a hostile city and have loudly declared itself. For
Last year children on carriages from public organisation
Invalids "Prospect" accepted some public actions,
Trying to draw to itself attention of a society and officials. The first
The action at some o'clock has paralysed job of one of the Moscow
Metro stations, acceptance long-awaited became result another
The law about bezbarernoj to environment which was considered... Three years.
Young children on carriages have declared: we wish to study. But in
One high school there are no conditions for koljasochnikov. One my acquaintance,
Having studied some years on fizfake the Moscow State University, has thrown university
Only because physically could not battle with any more
Infinite ladders. Yes that there, even at special institute
For invalids-opornikov students all truths-nepravdami
Get on floors into audiences - well we does not work
Psychology in the necessary direction even during such moments. Long years
All rehabilitation of invalids has been directed on the physical
Recover of patients, instead of on creation comprehensible to them
The social environment. On job koljasochnikov do not take, though the law about
kvotirovanii workplaces for invalids operates, and if
To address in the special commission at the government of Moscow, and
Workplace can equip for koljasochnika. In theatre not
You will get, from all cultural places to the person on a carriage are accessible
Tretyakov gallery, N.Ostrovsky's Museum, mountain Poklonnaja and Arena. And
The most popular place at this category of Muscovites - "McDonald's",
Where it is possible to call in without problems, and there even there is a toilet for
Invalids on a carriage.
One invalids-koljasochniki struggle for creation bezbarernoj
Environments, and others have simply changed carriages of active type and such
With image have provided to itself at least partially independent life.
Recently in Balashikha there have passed the rehabilitation gathering organised
The Russian branch of an award of Konstantin Great. To group from 10
The person have presented carriages of active type which are issued
The Moscow organisation of invalids "Katarzhina", also have learnt people
To cope with them in the conditions of a city. Those who for a long time already
Uses such carriages, say, that have overcome dependence
From other people, and not only physical, but also psychological. In
To the given program will take part 2000 persons who have appeared in
To invalid carriage.
But an active carriage - not the decision of a problem of the invalid in big
City. The person should have a choice: to skip on a ladder on
To carriage or to go down and rise on a ramp. And Moscow while
Has made only small short step towards to the person in invalid
To carriage.
