"When I arrived in Moscow, all the time I was waiting for surprises from her. They were, but one of the most serious I received when I did not expect at all.
Once I saw a photo of a wonderful penthouse in a magazine. I fell in love with this apartment. Looking at the view opening from the balcony, I decided that this penthouse would be mine, although the apartments were not decorated in the style that I prefer. I got into debt, but already imagined how this room will look in the future. However, when I first met the Chairman of the HOA (partnership of the owners of housing), then experienced real shock. I heard: "You have acquired the biggest problem in your life!"
Then I did not give much importance to these words, although it was very insulting to hear such about the property, in which I was ready to invest my soul.
I made a repair in the room, furnished in my taste and thought that I created a corner in which I could work, meet friends, and sometimes stayed alone with me to think, feel and smile to the world. But the view of the gastarbaiter looks into the window cut me out. And when a variety of commissions have become coming to me, who demanded "to provide access to the room held" for inspection, convinced me that this penthouse is really a problem! How was it to explain that I am the owner of the apartment. It seems absurd, but it was exactly the case - the owner of the apartment was to prove the right to their property in the so-called luxury house! I told about this story to familiar journalists, a few reports appeared in the media, and the HOA at some time was hidden.
Then I have not yet knew that the biggest shock is waiting for me ahead. When, after a long absence, I came to Penthouse, it was discovered that local migrant workers actively work on the construction of a wall that would overlap me to their own apartment! The fact is that my penthouse is on the top floor, the elevator comes to the penultimate, and then you need to raise one span. It was this span that it was lit! That is, to get to my home I could only on the narrow fire balconies that were littered with snow, and any step by which threatened serious injury. By the way, when a television group was filmed on this problem, one of her participants was very seriously damaged. I called the police. And only after her arrival, migrant workers were fed, and without finishing the construction of the "Berlin Wall". I was forced to sue. Now all documents on consideration. I believe that we must all fight for their rights! And I really want my friends to come to visit me, without experiencing any obstacles! I believe that my house will always be opened! "
