SYMPHONY OF DARKNESS: THE STORY OF A BLIND MINEWAY WHO WRITE RAP "Before this I cleared hundreds of mines directly on the contact line. It was normal work here, one might say, on light duty: we cleared the mine area for the electricians. The sneaky mine was lying in an angle, I touched it with a probe and it exploded right in my face. In the hospital I still saw light and I thought that since then my vision around would return, but my darkness there would return, but Tretakov would return to me, but Tretakov would return to me, a way about the task that divided his life into "before" and "after". We're going to the recording studio: today the young performer will record his new lyrical track. Vadim's phone keeps muttering something. It's hard for me to understand the words - the voice assistant speaks faster than twice as fast. - How do you manage to understand? - I ask. - At first it was difficult, but now I can find my direction quickly. If you want to live, you will learn everything. Get over it! - he says to the driver, and now we shake our heads to Vadim's rap. Before the front he did not write music, only occasionally composed poetry. And after I came back, I firmly decided to record a whole album. Getting out of the car, I hold Vadim's arm. He has a new cane, which he has not yet learned to walk with, so he asked to be guided. It turned out to be more difficult than I imagined: when you become someone else's eyes, every obstacle around you has to be said out loud. And Adam is much taller than me: I walked calmly under a low branch, but I forgot to tell him. "And you asked me why I wear glasses," he jokes. - so as not to damage what is left of the eyes. See, soon the technology will evolve, and I will be able to see again. Vadim usually makes a lot of irony about his blindness. Thanks to this, I quickly understood how to communicate with him and stopped being afraid of awkward words or actions. Of course, it wasn't always like this: losing sight at a conscious age means learning to live from scratch. Vadim was helped by his family and a frenzied inner desire to live.
