VIII
After an unsuccessful attempt to get a job in the society of the blind, Pokrytan almost never left his room. He indulged in dark thoughts, became irritable, and avoided friends. Time passed, he could not think of anything and became more and more withdrawn into himself.
Those who think must express their thoughts. Anyone who writes needs to publish.
Anyone who has become a teacher must raise students. Deprive a thinker of the opportunity to express his thoughts, a writer of the opportunity to publish, an actor of the stage, a teacher of his students, and you will not only complicate a person’s life, you will raise the question of his physical existence. This is the role of feedback for all living things in nature. It is the same in society. If something is disrupted in this mechanism, a person finds himself in a closed state, the destructive power of which is enormous. A developed, trained mind is looking for an explanation for this state and does not find it because it is already turned inward, turned precisely at the moment when the only salvation is contact with the outside world. The rest is thoughts about the uselessness of accumulating knowledge, about the futility of trying to prove something to anyone, even to yourself, about the ephemerality of arguments...
During that period, Covered began to feel worse. There is no more difficult and debilitating load than the habitual desire to think, to think in general, without any specific goal or measure, to grind and grind the material of life, without connecting it in any way, without taking it away and not being able to shield anything from it.
He often lay down and lay for a long time, without moving or changing his position. He fell asleep, but his sleep was short and shallow. And when he woke up, everything began anew, with increasing force, and sleep no longer gave him short periods of rest. One phrase he once heard stayed in his memory for a long time. “I absolutely cannot imagine situations where clever man I couldn’t find anything to do.” This phrase, or another very similar to it, occupied him for some time. He tried to remember who could have written this and what situation a person could have gotten into who retained faith in himself and did not want to explain this faith publicly. He tried to make this alien faith his own and spent hours thinking about what else he could do in life so that this activity
could feed and still be a favorite pastime. But you cannot become strong through someone else’s faith; Very soon he lost her and only more acutely felt the gravity of his situation. His former classmate found him in this state.
“I heard you’re looking for a job,” she said simply, as if not noticing what mood he was in.
“Yes,” said Pokrytan.
- I can help you.
“Help,” said Pokrytan.
- The accounting and credit technical school needs a teacher of political economy. I have one and a half bets. I can give you half the wages.
Covered smiled. If it was a matter of finding a bet or half a bet...
“Well, that’s what,” she said, “tomorrow we’ll go to talk to the director.” But he shouldn't know that you can't see.
Covered spread his hands. But she was ready to go straight to the goal. And he, accustomed to doing everything on his own and having made this his life rule, suddenly obeyed her with unexpected ease, not wanting to think or reason anymore. And they went.
She was talking, and he sat slightly turned away, with that detached look with which a young specialist should sit, showing promise, but not yet too confident in his abilities. Pokrytan's modesty and restraint made a good impression. He was enrolled part-time on the staff of the technical school.
The director had no idea that Pokrytan couldn’t see.
Pokrytan understood that he would not be able to keep his colleagues and students in the dark for long. And he didn't need to keep them in the dark for long. It was important that they get used to him and stop looking at him as a new person or, even worse, a random person. And, as often happens in such situations, it was a small thing that let him down. Trifle.
When the head of the educational department called him, he still did not know what would be discussed. But as soon as he entered the office and felt the manager’s breath on his face, he thought with sadness that the moment had come for the inevitable explanation.
“I just now deliberately sat closer to you,” the manager began with a challenge, “but... I don’t smell the alcohol,” he finished with surprise.
Covered shook with laughter. He was ready for anything, but not for such a turn of the topic.
The manager interpreted Pokrytan’s reaction in his own way. He got offended and raised his voice:
- It’s somehow strange... I saw how you more than once tried to straighten out your... um... gait... How you hit the stove with your shoulder and could barely stand on your feet... And this is in the corridor, where there are always full of students. Maybe you can explain it to me? I think you're drinking, but... I don't smell it... So why?
Damn stove! When he first hooked her, he decided to count the steps so he could know the distance for sure. But there were always people in the corridor, and he did not do this in front of everyone. He remembered this stove every time he pushed his shoulder into it - it was painted to match the color of the walls and was completely indistinguishable to him. So why doesn't he smell like vodka?
- You see, I don’t see.
- How? That is... how can you not see?!
“That is,” Pokrytan answered, pronouncing the words separately, “I don’t see this damned stove until I hit it!”
- For God’s sake... excuse me... I didn’t expect it at all...
The manager was stunned.
“Yes,” Pokrytan confirmed.
- I couldn’t imagine...
But precisely because now the head of the educational department knew everything, Pokrytan was the first to go to the director. He had already learned a lot. He was left at the technical school. He has already proven himself as a teacher.

Pokrytan worked at a technical school and continued to find employment: half-time is just half-time. In the end, at his own pedagogical institute he was approved as an assistant in the department of political economy, but circumstances were such that he immediately began giving a course of lectures for fourth-year students. Subsequently, the regional party committee additionally sent him to lecture at. There were not enough economists - or, as they said then, “political economists” - in the city’s universities at that time. So once again
without his intervention, the choice of his future fate was made. He accepted this path as final. He became an economist. Having become a university teacher, Pokrytan realized that his knowledge base would not last long. A path opened up before him, along which he could continue ad infinitum. And on this path, the strongest was the one who managed to go further than others during his life. This was the path to the heights of professional work, and here the Great Teacher of Braille could no longer help him.

In Odessa there is the Starokonny market. They sell everything there. It was covered at the Starokonny Market twenty-five years ago. Twenty-five years ago Pokrytan purchased a magnifying glass at the market. The magnifying glass was weighty and, therefore, good: he could not evaluate it any other way - he brought it to his “seeing” eye and saw nothing. But he didn’t want to part with it, and the magnifying glass moved to his room.
As already mentioned, Pokrytan’s left eye retained one percent of vision. Covered bought a magnifying glass after deciding to make this percentage work. The question of whether this is possible at all was not analyzed by Pokrytan due to the absolute idleness of such a question.
Returning from the market, he sat down by the sunlit window, put the text in front of him, took out a magnifying glass and gradually began to tense up. He didn't try to strain his eyes immediately. He tensed his body, gradually bringing tension to the eye muscles. And at that moment, when his eye became clouded with tears, he managed to notice the printed sign. Like an insect, a letter flashed and then disappeared. Was washed away by a tear. The only one. He didn't even have time to see what letter it was. But it was a letter, not a spot: it had outlines.
He rested for a long time. He rested like a weightlifter who had made an unsuccessful attempt to lift a record weight. On the second try, he saw the letter. And again it was blurred by a tear. But he already managed to remember it. Again I rested for at least a quarter of an hour. His whole body ached, as if he had really been lifting weights. Then he saw the letter again and did not work again that day.
For the entire next day he read one sentence.
When he had completed several dozen pages, putting them together from letters, he felt himself gradually plunging into the hitherto unknown world of genuine research and realized that now there would be no other work in his life and that he did not need any other work. He acquired the strongest passion, which, perhaps, can only be compared with the passion to live. He still gave lectures to students, but now it went on as usual, as if by itself. Freed from business, which for most of us is work that requires daily effort and instills self-respect in us - freed from this, he sat down at the table and did his work. He was sick, he felt how exhausted he was physical strength, understood that any day he could work until hemorrhage, but his one percent already obeyed him. The rest was a matter of endurance.

By the end of 1949, Pokrytaya passed the candidate minimum in political economy. In 1950, an institute for advanced training of university teachers was opened at Kiev University. Now in such institutions classes last five to six months. Then - a year. The institute recruited two groups. The first - more numerous - consisted of those who set themselves the task of passing the candidate minimum. The second was a group of dissertation candidates. It took a year to write a dissertation and defend it.
At that time, in Odessa, with its sixteen universities, there would have been at most five or six candidates of economic sciences. The selection of those wishing to be included in the group of dissertation candidates was carried out strictly. Pokrytan was not refused because his persistence was impressive. Through the Odessa Regional Party Committee, his documents were sent to Kyiv.
When the selection committee in Kyiv was considering documents received from different cities of the republic, Pokrytaya was in the clinic of Vladimir Petrovich Filatov. This was the fifth operation in a row, and Filatov himself performed it. Before the operation, Vladimir Petrovich warned that it was preliminary in nature and that only after it would it be possible to judge whether it was necessary to do the next one, that is, whether there was any chance of partial restoration of vision.
“You need to refrain from any work that is tiring for the eyes” - with such parting words from the great surgeon, Pokrytan was discharged and immediately left for Kyiv. He returned from Kyiv disgruntled and angry.
“We have people with excellent eyesight who work thirteen hours a day month after month and cannot complete dissertations in a year,” said the director. This was reality. Pokrytan could not accuse the director of callousness. Vice versa. The director belonged to those active and knowledgeable people who always aroused Pokrytan’s respect.
He was a cultured, intelligent man and, what Pokrytan especially liked about him, a man of strong convictions. The director was convinced that Pokrytan was unable to work within such tight deadlines. Pokrytan was convinced of the opposite, but could not prove anything. There are no other ways to influence an opponent. Covered and did not recognize any other methods. Remembering how he pulled out a magnifying glass, through which the director, becoming interested, tried to look at something and, of course, out of habit, could not see anything, Pokrytan was angry with himself for the mistake. Well, what did this magnifying glass mean for a person with normal vision? What do these four letters mean to someone who can immediately see the line without any effort? Trying to justify his strength, he only admitted his weakness. The world of things can never serve as an argument in its favor. He had learned this a long time ago, but just when so much depended on the conversation with the director, he made such a mistake! In the end, it was about Pokrytan’s ability to work, but this cannot be put on the table as material evidence! And everything that the director of the institute knew was based on exactly the opposite: you need to work with your eyes thirteen hours a day. With your eyes. And he, Pokrytan, who did not even see the face of his interlocutor, claimed that he could read thousands of pages of text (not to mention the fact that he still needed to write something, and this “something” was a dissertation!). And I couldn’t think of anything better than to take out the magnifying glass...
Of course, the director had to look at him as a fanatic. Like someone possessed by a manic idea. Of course, he had to think that Pokrytan did not realize what he was achieving.
But he, the director, must be aware of such cases, although in such a situation it was probably quite difficult for him to insist on his own...
This is how Pokrytan reasoned, looking at himself from the position of the director of the institute, and did not know what could be opposed to this. Nothing can be opposed.
Only your faith. But his faith is his faith... It’s a pity that such an opportunity was lost... It’s only a year, albeit an extremely difficult one, but only a year! Pokrytan also needed this year as an extremely tough situation: it was in tough situations that he felt confident and his performance was limitless.
He went to the institute, gave lectures, put on his homemade eyepiece in the evenings and bit into the text, physically feeling its granite density, and this extremely hard physical work helped him comprehend the density of thought. He stopped thinking about his unsuccessful trip to Kyiv. Time passed, the fifty-first year cohort at the Kiev Institute of Advanced Training has already begun work. And suddenly he receives a letter from Kyiv. What could be in that envelope?
“...by decision of the commission...” “enrolled in the group of dissertation candidates...” “it is proposed to immediately leave for Kyiv...” The letters were jumping around, and he could not bring them into focus.
