Some period Vasily worked in plant “Multon”. It turned out this work was not entirely inconclusive for science. Working as a loader, Vasily wrote a whole book. It is called "Quantum Nonlocality".
At the very beginning, in one of the night shifts, when the work was done and the free time was given, Vasily had the free time and lay down to sleep. There is nothing reprehensible in this. But the shift supervisor quickly picked up everyone who decided to take a break from work. He said that they were not allowed to sleep, even if there was no work. They can only stand or sit for a while. And wait-wait, even if the next work is foreseen only in two or three hours. Although it would be more humane for workers engaged in hard work to give them an opportunity to relax, especially in the night shift. They would be healthier after a couple of hours of a little relaxation, and they would work more efficiently.
But the dispute with the authorities is often a useless matter. Vasily decided not to seek the rationalization of work and rest, but to try to turn the situation towards himself. He conceived creativity at work: he found leaflets somewhere and wrote three pages for his new book.
He came to the next shift already with paper and a pen. And as soon as the free hours stood out, he began to write. He used as a tablet a cardboard from the old box. If he was not allowed to sleep on a shift, then it seems that he was not forbidden to write.
At first the workers looked at Vasily with bewilderment and even some suspicion. They approached him and asked with a grin whether he was writing a denunciation on them. Women were wondering whether he was preparing a congratulation for them for the upcoming holiday Eighth March. Vasily responded with jokes. If he had said that he was writing a book on quantum mechanics, he would have been considered not exactly sane.
Vasily gradually became accustomed and began to write not only at night, but also during the day. Suppose he rolled a cart with rolls of special paper for tetra packs. Usually there were several rolls weighing half a ton. Moving such a mass, Vasily thought about another idea, and as soon as a few minutes of rest fell out, he wrote it down.
He brought home folded several times leaves: he stored them in this form in the pocket of overalls. I transferred the contents of the manuscripts to the computer, typing the texts.
The book was ready in three months. By volume, it was not too weighty, but it contained very important information about the most mysterious phenomena of the microcosm.
By that time, Leonid had grown up and started drawing with computer programs. At times he made very curious drawings. He was five years old. He still did not speak, but he understood the speech and was engaged in graphics through the mouse and monitor. It looked pretty interesting.
Once, Vasily's sister Olga came to visit us. Seeing how Leonid painted, she also decided to try herself. She started to draw a kitten. The animal turned out to be quite realistic. Leonid was angry. The fact is that he is a vain boy and when he sees that someone does something better than him, he is very offended and sometimes even angry. So he could not tolerate Olga's cat. He instantly drove his aunt away from the computer, erased the kitten and ... in a couple of minutes he gave out several "creative cats" at once.
Olga was at first upset that her work went into virtual oblivion, but nevertheless forgave her nephew.
Later, Vasily, looking for a picture for the cover of the book, somehow came across a series of Leonid’s cats. He particularly liked one of them. He was like the "Schrodinger cat." That's the way it should be: "creatively crazy."
Vasily could use the cover, which was developed by the publishing house, but their graphic creations are almost always boring and of the same type. Only a talented designer can offer the original design, but such a master takes a lot of money. It turned out that the covers with the Leonid’s pictures are always new and unexpected. That's why Vasily decided to use the vision of the world of the child. He was right. We used Leonid’s drawings to illustrate several books, not only Vasily’s ones, but also my novel "My Devil".
"Quantum nonlocality" was printed at the expense of the publishing house "URSS", however, without a fee. Finally, Domingo decided to invest money in Vasily's monograph.
Later Sergey Kiyanov from Novosibirsk translated the book into English, taking for it, as usual, an acceptable amount. We have published this book at our own expense. Domingo sent them to Spain. Some of them were probably sold in stores, as well as through an online store.
Here is a story of a book written at the plant during Vasily’s work as a loader.
