Hello, Gleb Maksimilianovich!
My name is Sergey, I live in 2013. I understand that writing a letter to the past - it is silly. When you died in the 59th my mother was 11 years old, I was not in the project. Your name will be called out in Moscow. I stood on it and waiting for the tram, I saw a sign on the building with your name and thought: Who are you? I walked a thousand times on the street and never thought about it. Then I got into the Internet and began to know you. I learned that there is your apartment-museum. Lesha telephoned Orlov, we got into the car and drove to the address ul.Sadovnicheskaya, d.30, p.1.
Gleb Maksimilianovich, I would like to say thank you, I do not know what words to choose. Wandering the phone and taking pictures on android your apartment, I realized that there was a man who lit the bulbs across the country. Who developed the electrification plan, created the Academy of electrification, trained tens and hundreds of engineers. Who was friends with so many great people who went through the war and revolution.
Who fought sought, he suffered, was silent, who lived not to buy a Patek Philippe and a yacht on the coast. You left behind a great legacy ... and I'm 34 and I just found out about you, with all my life I have enjoyed the fruits of your labors. You've been a great journey. And at the end of this road you will die with the thought that the next generation of people will be smarter, better, more honest. Good. What you only created the basis for future generations of engineers, artists, creators. What's so good, you give people the necessary mechanisms that they make their lives better. You died in the 59th, it took about 50 years.
In your apartment-museum of 3 years there is no electricity. By the way, there was even a museum Mosenergo and kicked him out of there, probably because they are not profitable. Your apartment was not touched, perhaps afraid. I am ashamed that I did not know anything about you.
You know, Gleb Maksimilianovich in the future, you will be actively discussing your children and grandchildren will nominate you, the great old men, a lot of claims that everything you did wrong, what should have been different. In the future, many people will be kicking the dead lion, we need someone to blame our guilt. It will be a "national sport!»
You have lived for the sake of the motherland, for the sake of the country, you are one of the founders of the Soviet economy. And we will live by what you have created, almost without creating anything of his own and actively abusing you. We make fun of your ideals. We sneer at your struggle. For many of us, even the fact that all life you loved only one woman, will be an occasion for jokes. For many of us the fact that when you were only poorly furnished flat, shabby coats and astrakhan greasy jacket - will be subject for sarcasm. Gleb Maksimilianovich, why do not you buy a house on the coast, why the money allocated for the construction of power plants, you will not be transferred abroad? Why do not you play in the casino, did not buy himself a yacht? Why not live for yourself?
It's so easy! I'll teach you.
Imagine that now in 1918, and you build the first power plant. It is necessary to buy equipment for them abroad. You had to negotiate with their counterparts from Siemens (well you know them all!), To create a fictitious company to win the tender for the supply of equipment, to get money and to live peacefully in Nice. Once you have left the palace, a collection of shoes, watches, and tails of the famous fashion designer. Instead, you were honest! For what I wrote above, you would spit in my face. You would say: "Sergei, you're delusional. I brought dozens of powerful people. They would never have been able to sell the home, they know what honor! »
So, Gleb Maksimilianovich, they do not know. And this homeland we quietly sell.
Gleb Maksimilianovich what to do?
Try and understand my situation, even though it sickens you. On the one hand, everything is fine, everything is fine, the country under the wise leadership of the government is to a brighter future. But when you go outside and open your eyes, everything looks a little different. People do not know what to do, they accuse you of what is happening, they go abroad, they write to the Internet, they are trying to protest. But everything is still "good". You know, I understand that you will respond.
You answer: "Sergei, squeeze your teeth, go and do things. Dogs always bark. But the caravan to go. »
Gleb Maksimilianovich, I'll try to at least do something. I will try to the city Tuzha stretched the Internet and children could be taught online, to discover the world. I'll try to run your project, I try to help all who come to me for help. I'll try to help civil society activists, telling them from the pages of the Internet. Share Sergei Lezhnyov from Belgorod, about Anton Bedareva of Vladivostok, about Rustem Khasanov Kazan, all who eat to live, not live to eat. I will try to make their initiatives are not stalled. I will try to convince the editors that they wrote more about civic engagement in the country; flattery, cunning and deception, I sneak on TV and was dragged to these guys, men of action.
In fact, from me a little that depends. But I promise you will never repeat this phrase. I do not know what lies ahead, we probably did not work ... Although, you know, Gleb Maksimilianovich, it all went! We can do this! We shall build up more this country. We will make sure that there, in the sky, you will be proud of, you are unlikely to me, but the other guys for sure. With the country there was a terrible disaster: not a war, not an epidemic, not a revolution, people just lose the idea. Lost the way, lost the purpose for which to live.
Instead, rather than honor, conscience, rather than creation, the purpose of money has become. We sold almost everything that you did. I am ashamed. After all, you, the great old men, it was more difficult! Against you had a system that was against you the whole world. You then rinsing, my pitiful bellowing about difficulties will cause you just grin.
We relaxed, Gleb Maksimilianovich, we must begin to live and work. What I have written to you, make fun of! Call another pretentious nonsense. But I do not care. Because I knew one thing: the inheritance of men to build, with the parasites destroy. And I do not want to be a parasite.
Maksimilianovich Hleb, now at least it would be easier, now I know who to be. On you. And even if I did not use a lot of chances, but better late than never. It is unlikely that my name will be called out. But I will try to live so that at least a couple of people I remembered a kind word.
Now, dear reader, let's really forget all this pathos and just go through the apartment Krzhizhanovskogo Gleb Maximilianovich.
A man who lives in a piece of each android, every power, every light bulb in each wire. Man is so big and grand, that part of him lives even in every electron, running through the wires of the Russian Federation. These lines you are reading and the photo you see through Gleb Krzhizhanovsky. The man who translated Varshavyanka:
... In the battle of the great not perish completely
Fallen with honor in the name of ideas,
Their names are in our song of victory
Will sacred zillion people ...
Curator of the museum Vasily I. Fedyakin.
I remind you that the apartment-museum Krzhizhanovskogo Gleb Maximilianovich third year there is no light. Previously, there was a museum of Mosenergo, threw him out.
Three years Keepers of the museum asked to give them room in order to open a center for children's creativity, which once existed there ... but, indeed, you all know, dear reader. 3, the house is empty.

In 1920, Russia visited the famous science fiction writer HG Wells. He met with Lenin, got acquainted with the general plans of the electrification of Russia, and they found it unworkable. In the essay "Russia in the Shadows", devoted to this trip, he spoke about these plans:
The fact that Lenin, who, as a true Marxist, denies all the "utopian" in the end he fell into a utopia, utopia electrification. He does everything in his power to create Russia's largest power plant, which will give provinces the whole energy for lighting, transportation and industry. But the implementation of such projects in Russia can be imagined only through sverhfantazii.
Lenin invited Wells to come in 10 years and see how the plan is carried out, which was designed for 10-15 years. Wells came in 1934 and was struck by the fact that the plan was not only fulfilled, but exceeded on a number of indicators.
P. S.
I do not whitewash, not vilified. Criticizing the great can only be equal to them. Even the great mistakes of old. And we did not steal the Olympics can not build, and are always looking for the guilty ... sitting in the same boat.
P. P. S.
After Krzhizhanovskogo Gleb Maximilianovich remained flat museum with dilapidated walls, old clothes, a guitar, a makeshift furniture and memories. What will remain after you, the people with power and money? This is not difficult, tell them this post, on their planet. Can answer.
Here the link of the picture house, personal belongings, basement, documents, books and much more. Look, and even better ... It is necessary to go to honor the great old men, in spite of our grievances and complaints to them.
And here is a photo of better quality.
