They met their wedding night in different colonies

"No one has the right to interfere in someone else's fate. A wedding is a good thing. Not criminal."

"Love stories often end in prison," once wrote the wonderful writer Sergei Dovlatov, who has a subtle sense of humor. We have heard a lot about such cases from life. But this love story is unexpected because it began with prison. He has been tried four times. She was behind bars for the first time...

Hands of gold, and eye – diamond Igor received eight years for robbery. The guy is so experienced. You can't get through harsh conditions, you've been used to everything in life since you were a little kid. The parents were drinkers, they devoted time to the kid as needed – then run, son, for cigarettes, then for half a liter... Then the companies went like this – unreliable. They got involved in criminal cases... The last one was a showdown between two factions. Igor was not the only one behind bars in that case. He spent several years on a strict regime, then his conditions were relaxed and he was transferred to a colony-settlement in the small shabby town of Leninsk. Igor did not even suspect that in a month or so he would not find a distant betrothed. Unexpected news fell on the convict settlers: a women's colony was opened next to them. It is two kilometers away on a broken road. In the spring, more than two hundred convicted ladies were brought from the isolation ward. To be honest, little was adapted to the maintenance of the tender sex in the colony. The women themselves had to settle down and put the territories and barracks in order.
– But it's a hassle with women! – the head of the united correctional colony still remembers that time with a shudder.
– A bag of cement is being dragged by four people. You can't look without tears. And here it is necessary to dig a trench. They poked around with shovels, but all to no avail. I had to attract convict men. In addition to digging a trench, there was also a job for them. Igor and his comrades brought the roof to the barracks to cover. The man, they say, has golden hands. And he also had a diamond eye to his golden hands. She was wearing a blue flowered robe and Angela was jailed for seven years for drug distribution. According to rumors, it seems that the mother, who was divorced from her father, was doing the same thing. Of the three sisters, Angela is the youngest. I studied well at school. She showed great hopes. I entered a trade school. But, alas, I never managed to finish it. In the zone, she did not stand out in any particular way. Usually such "quiet girls" are called. Glued shoes in the shoe shop. Then she sewed gloves and sweatshirts. So I would count the days until the end of the term if... Igor saw her in the ranks. She was walking past to work with her squad. She was dressed in a "uniform", like everyone else – a dressing gown with a blue flower and a scarf on her head. "I want to get married!" Igor unexpectedly addressed the colony's leadership with such a statement. No one, of course, took it seriously at first. "Hmm, the man is thirty–four years old, he wanted to play," the guards chuckled. However, the persistent convict brought an application to the registry office with an oral explanation: "I fell in love with her at first sight ..." Then Angela wrote the same statement. It turns out that they somehow managed to communicate with each other in an incredible way at the time when Igor came to work in the colony. Allegedly, secretly from the guards, they met in the notorious trench, which the prisoners themselves could not dig and the men were sent to help... But the lovers are understandably silent about these circumstances... The girl was dissuaded by everyone. Both employees and convicts. Young, they say, just turned twenty. In the zone for another six years to "steam up". The bedmates expressed their opinion directly: "Yes, he's a wolf, he'll be released in a year and forget you." Angela almost clung to them like a cat: "Don't say anything. He's good." Igor quarreled with his friends from the outside on this basis. But the happiness of this couple was supported by the deputy head of the colony for personnel and educational work Svetlana Petrova, to whom Igor and Angela turned for help.
– Some employees dissuaded me: why arrange a wedding? And suddenly, they say, she will give birth later... – says Svetlana.
– And I think so: no one has the right to interfere in someone else's fate. A wedding is a good thing. Not criminal. Moreover, Igor assured everyone that he had a desire to really improve. They say that he will be released already as a family, he will try to get housing before Angela's release. I really want to have a real family, to embark on the path of correction. The management decided to give such a chance. It was the first wedding in the colony. Therefore, the whole world was preparing for this extraordinary event. These two were worried, of course, like no one else. The newlyweds were registered directly in the colony, the registry office employee came to the zone by agreement with the colony management. After all, they got a white dress from somewhere. As it should be, the bride was dressed up according to custom. Registration was marked with "festive" tea – they distributed candy to the convicts. After registration, the spouse was sent under escort to the same place from where they were taken – to the men's unit, and the young wife remained in the barracks. So the newlyweds spent their wedding night in different colonies, but they were still happy. What they wanted, they still achieved! Конопля традиционно использовалась для текстильного волокна (для канатов, лодочных парусов, рыболовных сетей, рыбной ловли, колготок, сумок, ковриков и др. (для выращивания необходимо купить семена каннабиса ). Также применения включают одежду, например, первые джинсы Levi's, в которых использовалась ткань, полученная из конопли из-за ее твердости и прочности.
