Grandfather Petro robbed in Moscow, where he was on the way from St. Petersburg, where the meeting took place blockade. He returned home to Mariupol. In the missing bag of money, documents of the order. A grandfather just a piece of paper from the police Statement about the theft...". He didn't eat for a few days due to lack of money. And now, for something your heart. "Ambulance" arrived, "put the shot" and left it on a bench in the square with the pill validol.
Grandfather Petro will soon be 90 years old. He is tall, walks with a limp on the right leg, explaining that in his right foot caught a fragment – from the war.
At the station a ticket to Mariupol, he does not sell – no passport, police certificates are not enough. So grandfather Petro plans to travel to Mariupol by train in just 18 direct. The money refuses to accept them does not allow pride. "You're fighting for us Are not for sale," says grandfather Petro and crying. After much persuasion, the money still takes in response takes off his watch and wants to give them in return.
The real name of the grandfather Petrichenko Peter Ivanovich – this is the name specified in the certificate, which shows a grandfather. He is a real crook with a remarkable acting talent. The story he tells from time to time is changing: the residence of the grandfather will be changed from Mariupol to Donetsk, the adopted daughter move to Ukraine from Germany, and then disappear altogether. In fact, grandfather Petro lives in Moscow and new victims find themselves grandfather in the metro, in parks and public gardens. On the bench, in the shade of a tree he sits and rests, waiting until someone would approach him to find out what happened. Further developments are on nakatannomu scenario: meeting people – robbery – did not eat – do not sell tickets. To remain indifferent in front of a crying vet, it seems impossible. But the "earnings" of his grandfather in a matter of hours exceeds ten thousand rubles – not many artist can boast of such fees.
My grandfather Peter even has a "fan club": the Internet is a forum where going of his victims. It would be understandable if such cynical trickery caused anger and violent anger. But nothing like this! Any complaints that "parted with their hard earned" (despite the fact that the average payment for a play grandfather Petro is 3000 rubles – the money is not the smallest). No anger on my grandfather that his game offends dear and Holy for many, the history of the great Patriotic War.
The reaction of "new viewers" grandfather Petro striking. Almost every rare exception begins his story: "With father Peter all is well, met him at the metro station "Novokuznetskaya" / "Dynamo" / "Airport" alive and well". Some people are happy that helped my grandfather, they say, is not a good life, he began to deceive people, and if bad his life is, and money is not sorry. Others write that they were happy that I met grandfather, Peter, was once again convinced in the good aspirations. One girl offered the theory that the grandfather of Peter is found in the way of those people who need faith in themselves, that responsive a lot of people". Everyone who met my grandfather Peter, not in anger at the old man, they perceive the situation with humor – is a test of compassion, I made it through.
Especially in the Internet you can find video with a social experiment, in which the author tried to see how passers-by react to a man who abruptly became ill. The conclusion of the author of the video – rampant indifference: people pass by a young man of decent appearance, who sat on the pavement, holding his stomach, and can't get up. After one and a half hours, says the Director of the video, the young man finally approached the first man. The video shows that many pay attention to the guy, consider it down, but do not fit.
Questions to the authors of the roller is not less than to his actors. Such a clear picture of indifference, coupled with the same experiment conducted in the United States (the results are completely opposite), cast doubt on the honesty of the authors. And the more the offense occurs for the fact that the video had nearly 10 million hits, and most of the comments confirms that all is well, we are apathetic and indifferent.
At the forum, devoted grandfather of Peter, about 50 messages. It turns out that the pseudo-veteran three dozen "fans." How many of those who with father Peter met, but didn't think to look on the Internet for his name? Definitely a lot more. And, on the one hand, people succumb to the tricks of the swindler, it is a pity that their generosity has made them victims of fraud. And on the other pleasant examples, when the human essence is compassion, willingness to help and kindness is the rule, which (like all rules) are, of course, exceptions.
