1 With my little son, because at home 2 his father 3 was ill, 4 He was completely ill and he doesn't come, 5 he said: you go, 6 and in Ovalyn by my child's father-in-law you kill a reindeer calf, Gena, until you arrive, 7 the reindeer herders are there in the forest, 8 towards the road to Muzhi, 9 they would tell him, 10 in the winter break when we take the kids home, 11 to bring a reindeer calf. 12 We took Katya here to the boearding school down, 13 and on the way back 14 we stopped there. 15 Waiting, waiting, 16 nothing happened. We drank tea, one bottle or two, 17 and there I ask, 18 but who comes with us, anybody, even from the village, they bring a bowl of food, 19 and my husband behind the house goes up the ladder to the attic, keeps it in the attic 20 the idol. 21 And there he takes the bowls. 22 And from this, from the sacrificed food the woman is not allowed to eat, 23 just the men. 24 I say: Does Esther know it? 25 Uh, I wouldn't tell Esther! 26 When should I show her! - she says. I say: the other idols have already been photographed, 27 in where, 28 in Washgort, the River Elder, or who, 29 the dead memory puppets, everything, 30 I say, everything is taken into a book, they are just sitting there! 31 I say: the idol of the river 32 whatsit, on the Nenets sleight it is sitting, 33 and it is just sitting. 34 - Well, if they have to, let them sit down! - he says. 35 Now, look, it has become a Soviet power. [?] 36 He's afraid of it. 37 - So, the one, who photographed was also with him, but the grandfather didn't let him go there. 38 - No, no. 39 The one, who photographed didn't let him go there. 40 Didn't let him go there. 41 Where did he possibly come from? One of the Syktywkar, 42 the other, when we went to pick bloomy blackberry with Gena... 43 - one was from Syktyvkar, the other 44 Novosibirsk, one man was from there, he wanted to see the most the things from the idols. 45 - They are afraid of them, in the past 46 at the beginning of Soviet power, my father was almost shot dead by a rifle due to his idol. 47 And now he was photographed, 48 and then, when its going to be a Sovjet power again, 49 then they will start looking for it. 50 But he didn't show them, and this is good. 51 This idol certainly could be taken! 52 In the past, 53 in Kazym-Mys, 54 when the Sovjet power emerged 55 the Goddess of Kazim, was a great idol. 56 At the Kazim river. 57 Her name: Kazym-Mys, the call. 58 Far away, this is not the village on the shore of Ob. 59 There, at the Kazim river. 60 At the Kazim river, 61 the inhabitants, 62 The Khantys were caught and another woman was dressed up again. 63 She was dressed up, and the same 64 and they gave it. 65 And the old woman was let go, was switched. 66 They were probably given from her shawls, too, "here is the Goddess Kazim, the idol woman." 67 So it stopped (the searching). 68 And here my father at this river, at the 69 Synya idol's 70 time, 71 also was mentioned, and 72 sought. 73 They sought and hold my father at gunpoint, they frightened him with it, 74 we kill you, tell it! 75 Or we will condemn you, or something. 76 And then he says: seek! 77 - my father said. 78 If you seek it, you will find it, take it away! 79 How should I know, what I have! How would I have seen? 80 If I have something, you will find it, if not, what should I give you? 81 Seek it and take it away! 82 Then they grabbed the sleighs, 83 this Yuriy Ivanovich's father was also 84 condemned, 85 he told it, 86 to let him go home. 87 He was also a shaman, he was shamaning, 88 and they, the Communists, their judges, said: 89 if you have an idol and shows it, then we let you go home! 90 And he showed, and they let him go home. 91 Ivan Vasilyevich, this Yura's father 92 Yura Ivanovich's father. 93 After that they have it on my father. 94 They have it on my father, and he says, theyhold me at gunpoint, 95 if you kill me, kill me, I don't have, what should I do?! 96 Seek it, find it! 97 If you find it, take it away. 98 Where it is, I don't know, I don't have one. 99 Then they moved here, they moved there, 100 there was snowstorm, look, he has also power, he can still sit today, 101 the wind risen, 102 nothing could be seen, it was snowstorm, 103 they moved to the Idol's range of vision, 104 but they didn't find it. 105 Where they moved, his raised storehouse was visible, 106 he has a little raised storehouse, as we talked yesterday, that size, 107 the same. In winter he sits on a place like this. 108 And in summer they put him on a sleigh.
