Travel from Spassk-Dalnij to St. Petersburg

Eugeny P., 16 years.

Reads and writes hardly, however has photographic memory and lively wit. It is written down from his words.” I was born in Irkutsk. Mum, the stepfather and 10 year old brother Misha now live in city Spassk-Dalnij in Primorski Krai, and I have escaped from home to see different cities.

I remember Irkutsk. There is Lake Baikal, deep, quiet. In winter the lake freezes. I remember the river Angara running into Lake Baikal. The river is restless,  seething. There is a black stone named shaman in it. On a legend the father Baikal has thrown this stone in a trace of his daughter escaping beyond Yenisei. There is a wood and a taiga around the lake. I saw a sable there.  It is litle like a dog, its wool is smooth, eyes are small,  muzzle is extended. The sable fades in the winter,  its wool  becomes brown, of dark shades.

In Irkutsk there is an aviation factory: they make planes there. I saw them  flying low. In  Primorsk there is  lake Khanka. Woods are not  very dense. The mountains Sikhote Alins  are not high, are without sharp peaks. I was on a coast of the Pacific ocean, on the coast of the sea of Japan. There were big waves. I swam. I saw there crabs, sea hedgehogs, jellyfishes of white color, transparent. The ginseng grows there. I collected it on sale and   made a tea from its dry roots and saws for myself. I collected Chinese “limonnick”(a name of grass), cones of cedar  , mushrooms. The mushrooms grow not only in the forests.

Дорогие друзья!

Коллектив и воспитанники Санкт-Петербургского государственного учреждения социальный приют для детей «Транзит» рады приветствовать вас на нашем сайте. Мы создали его в первую очередь для того, чтобы рассказать об уникальном детском транзитном центре, аналогов которому нет в северо-западном регионе. До 2000 года все несовершеннолетние, которые находились в Санкт-Петербурге без опеки взрослых, направлялись в Центр Временной изоляции несовершеннолетних правонарушителей. Однако, за последнее десятилетие в крупных городах появилась новая категория беспризорных детей – это дети-бегунки, которые не совершали преступлений, а просто покинули семью или воспитательное учреждение по тем или иным причинам.

В 2000 году по инициативе Правительства России в 89 субъектах федерации были созданы учреждения для несовершеннолетних, нуждающихся в социальной реабилитации. В Санкт-Петербурге социальная служба помощи иногородним детям находится в приюте «Транзит».

На страницах этого сайта мы хотели бы поделиться накопленным опытом, создать информационную площадку для наших коллег, партнеров, родителей, педагогов и людей, неравнодушных к проблеме беспризорничества в России.


С уважением,

Директор ГУ социальный приют для детей «Транзит»
