Ships in a Tube
In Pushkin's poem, an old man and woman have been living poorly for many years. They have a small hut, and every day the man goes out to fish. One day, he throws in his net and pulls out seaweed two times in succession, but on the third time he pulls out a golden fish. The fish pleads for its life, promising any wish in return. However, the old man is scared by the fact that a fish can speak; he says he does not want anything, and lets the fish go. When he returns and tells his wife about the golden fish, she gets angry and tells her husband to go ask the fish for a new trough, as theirs is broken, and the fish happily grants this small request. The next day, the wife asks for a new house, and the fish grants this also. Then, in succession, the wife asks for a palace, to become a noble lady, to become the ruler of her province, to become the tsarina, and finally to become the Ruler of the Sea and to subjugate the golden fish completely to her boundless will. As the man goes to ask for each item, the sea becomes more and more stormy, until the last request, where the man can hardly hear himself think. When he asks that his wife be made the Ruler of the Sea, the fish cures her greed by putting everything back to the way it was before, including the broken trough.

The son of a shoemaker is a shoemaker, and the son of a submariner is a submariner. Viktor Kobzev jumped to the conclusion and he went honestly through six combat services on the K-424 missile submarine cruiser. But then, with the rank of captain-lieutenant, he went ashore and began to paint. In 2007 the Baltic Shipyard solemnly launched a new nuclear-powered icebreaker “50 Years of Victory”. And former colleagues invited Victor to ride it to the North Pole. Kobzev took an easel and paints just in case. - That's when I first was at the North Pole. But once before in this area I surfaced in a submarine. But this does not count, - Kobzev jokes. Since then he has been there more than three dozen times - every year there were several “trips”. Now Kobzev has an official position, his task is to draw the ice of the North Pole. After all, he is an expeditionary artist, but simply the Tube. He became the Tube in a submarine. - We knocked in ice, and there was a hole on the cabin. My colleagues took apart the wooden tea boxes and went to paint and boil them up. I hear on the speakerphone: "Kobzev, take brushes, paint and go up." And I still had the last tube of black paint, I reported to the captain. In response, from decent words I heard only "Tube." Since then, I became the Tube in the Navy, ” Victor says. In the Arctic, Tube prefers to work at night. At this time, the sun constantly shines there, but everyone sleeps and no one bothers. The habit of staying awake at night remained with him from a submarine: at that time there was usually a shift. An unpleasant roar of breaking ice is heard in the workshop around the clock. But the Tube has not paid any attention to this for a long time. His paintings are now in the largest museums in the world, as well as in private collections of the English Queen Elizabeth II, Margaret Thatcher, Tonino Guerra, Francois Mitterrand, Galina Vishnevskaya, Alla Pugacheva. He forgot the number of international exhibitions. The Tube paints fish of all stripes and colors more often. And everywhere they grin. When the icebreaker reaches the North Pole, the team begins to look for a “clearing” - a place for landing passengers on the ice. A technical team comes out first to test the ice for durability. The Tube pulls out an easel and begins to draw. He has little time.
