Дефолт 1998 года запомнился мне так, будто вчера...

The default of 1998 I remember as if it happened yesterday. I have not yet turned 10 years old. We went with my parents to Croatia. There was a two-week trip - and for the first time I visited the sea. A trip was already planned to Venice. But about five Croatian holidays I fell ill. Fundamentally, the temperature is about 39, I slept day and night. In those moments when he woke up, he clicked on the TV set - along with cartoons, he came across news releases where they showed our striking miners on the Humpback Bridge. And my dad and I drove to Mines to my grandmother a month before Croatia. An anthill was directly felt there - the entire population was dragging aluminum. And here, bang, for foreign TV miners. But finally, I recovered. We are going to Venice on a large and beautiful ship - due to illness, the parents postponed the excursion for a week. And the day before the news of the crisis comes. Obviously, something big happened. I didn’t really get it: there weren’t any tanks, just some lines. But dad began to actively hold onto the currency. They went to Venice very well. But in general, a sense of public kirdyk constantly accompanied my childhood. Again, something happened, someone was shot, someone was blown up, something burned out - it was in the order of things. Two years later, there will be a tragedy with Kursk. We will also be on vacation - in Bulgaria. All Russian-speaking hotel guests will sit in the lobby and watch the news.
