Free President Songs and Rhymes for Circle Time

President songs are great for Presidents’ Day, presidential elections, Inauguration Day, and president unit studies. Today, I’m adding lots of president songs for any of those occasions to my series of free songs and rhymes for circle time. Note: see the bottom of the post for non-holiday songs and rhymes as well as for other holiday songs throughout the year.

There are lots of CDs you can buy, but I’m just listing free resources here. You can typically find links to buy the CDs for songs on YouTube if you wish. These are songs that I’ve found online for teachers and childcare providers. They are also great if you’re a homeschooler or parent supplementing your child’s learning at home. And I think they’re lots of fun for grandparents and anyone who enjoys spending time with a special child.

Presidents’ Day Playlist: 44 Songs for Every US Commander-in-Chief [LISTEN]

By
Jon Niles

Today is George Washington‘s birthday, which follows Abraham Lincoln‘s birthday by a few days, meaning today is Presidents’ Day and you’re probably home from school because of it. But instead of just celebrating this day off, we’re taking a look and listen at how music has celebrated our Commanders in Chief over the years. Check out this new playlist of 44 songs that were written for and/or about each of our Presidents over the years!

1. George Washington
No More Kings” by Pavement, a School House Rock cover, is an educational tune about our very first President and our country’s origins.

3. Thomas Jefferson
 Nas‘ “Black President” from 2008 brings to mind the scandalous past of our founding father, namely his relations with his slaves.

4. James Madison
 Johnny Horton‘s “The Battle of New Orleans” is about a pivotal moment in the US’s history under our fourth President.

5. James Monroe
While Sheryl Crow‘s rocking “Hard to Make a Stand” song isn’t really about the last Founding Father President, she does mix his name with James Dean, which is kind of a compliment, don’t you think?

7. Andrew Jackson
Fans of Sufjan Stevens consider his album homage to Illinois a great collection of tunes, with the song “Jacksonville” talking about the town’s namesake – our 7th President.

8. Martin Van Buren
Our eighth President is responsible for the trail of tears, which “Indian Reservation” was written about.

9. William Henry Harrison
This well-known phrase was the campaign song for the brief President!

10. John Tyler
We thank Tyler for the annexation of Texas!

11. James Knox Polk
 They Might Be Giants, once again, show up on the playlist!

13. Millard Fillmore
 Bobby Rydell apparently had a song called “Forgotten,” which was about our 13th President, but it is super hard to find. So here’s his hit “Forget Him,” which we did do regarding Fillmore.

14. Franklin Pierce
15. James Buchanan
16. Abraham Lincoln
Obviously one of our most important Presidents, it is only fitting that Marvin Gaye sing about him and other important figures in this song.

17. Andrew Johnson
He was the first President to be impeached, so we’re going to just link you to the singer that has a similar name!

35. John F. Kennedy
We Didn’t Start the Fire” by Billy Joel … you know why!

36. Lyndon Johnson
Singer-songwriter Tom Paxton hit the nail on the head with this song.

40. Ronald Reagan

43. George W. Bush
Connor Oberst of Bright Eyes fame has never been shy about his distaste for the Bush administration. He wrote the song “When the President Talks to God” as a tongue-in-cheek message to the Commander, and then released it for free.

Do you have a favorite song written for or about a President that you think should’ve made this playlist? Let us know in the comments section below!

One time there was a little boy
Who had a little hatchet
He looked and looked around to find
A little tree to catch it
At least he spied a cherry tree
His father’s pride and joy
He chopped it down, right to the ground
My! What a naughty boy!
And then he heard an angry voice
It sounded like a cymbal
George knew he was in trouble great
And he began to tremble
Who cut this tree, my son did you?
His father asked the question.
Yes, it was I. I cannot lie.
I cut it with my hatchet!
Chorus:
Georgie, Georgie, no, no, no.
Be careful what you do.
Hatchets can be dangerous
And you might get hurt too!

Presidents and their music

February 20, 2022

The Uniform Monday Holiday Act became effective in 1971. It created three federal holidays: Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day and Labor Day. All became holidays to be observed on the third Monday of the traditional month of that celebration. This year,

Washington’s birthday, colloquially referred to as “Presidents’ Day” falls on Monday, Feb. 21, and is a welcome day off for many Americans.

Here are some chronological tidbits about some of our musical, and not so musical, Presidents who are saluted and remembered this Monday.

As our first President, George Washington’s birthday is the anchor for the Presidents’ Day holiday. His Mount Vernon estate was the site of much music during his presidential terms, as he was apparently quite the party animal. He had a standing soiree on Thursday afternoons, during which his nieces provided much rehearsed classical music. The compositions were played on a five-octave harpsicord from London and a Dodds pianoforte, one of the very first built in America.

In addition to being the first President, Washington was also the first critic, and was a hard nut when it came to his troops. He complained about the quality of song coming from his army’s music corps, saying, “the music of the army was in general very bad.” The President further said, “The drum and fife Majors exert themselves to improve it or they will be reduced (demoted), and their extraordinary pay taken from them.”

The third President and the face on the nickel, Thomas Jefferson, played the violin and cello. He played during his college years, practicing up to three hours each day. Jefferson played with other fine musicians just for the pure enjoyment of it, citing the delightful conversations that they partook in as part of the reason.

He was very fond of the music composed by Hadyn, Vivaldi, Handel and Boccherini. Jefferson was, ahem, instrumental in building the United States Marine Band into their present magnificence. He was the first President to have the band play at the Inauguration.

Abraham Lincoln is said to be one of America’s most unmusical Presidents, but he loved to listen to music passionately. He loved both classical and “popular” music. Lincoln was also an opera buff, and viewed productions centered on the works of Rossini, Wagner, Verdi and Beethoven. He, in fact, attended the opera more than 30 times during his four years in the White House.

Mary Todd Lincoln did enjoy actually playing the piano. When the family took up residence in the White House, she ordered a new grand piano from the Schomacker Company, and set it up in the Victorian themed Red Room of the White House.

Chester A. Arthur played the banjo. Enough said.

Warren Harding “played every instrument but the slide trombone and the E-flat cornet.” It is said that Harding sat in with the band that played at his nomination in 1920.

Harry Truman was our nation’s 33rd President. In addition to overseeing the end of World War II, Truman played a mean piano. He is said to have never passed a piano without playing a tune. During the first televised tour of the White House in 1952, Truman played Mozart’s “A Major Sonata” to the live audience of 30 million Americans.

About music, Truman once joked, “My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse, or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference.”

Richard Nixon was a classically trained pianist and also played the accordion and violin. He even composed music and performed one of his short concertos on Jack Parr’s “Tonight Show,” with full orchestral accompaniment.

He never learned to read music, but Nixon played well enough – or was brave enough- to play “Happy Birthday” to Duke Ellington when the great band leader appeared at the White House in 1969.

Bill Clinton was apparently pretty good on the sax. He sat first chair in the Arkansas All-State High School Band and considered pursuing music as a career.

While running for President in 1992, he was a guest on “The Arsenio Hall Show.” That night, he played “Heartbreak Hotel” (co-written by Mae Axton, Hoyt’s mother) and “God Bless the Child” with Hall’s band. He played well, looked cool, and soon passed George H. W. Bush in the polls.

Here’s a trivia question. Which U.S. President is credited on a live concert recording that also features David Bowie, Goo Goo Dolls, Billy Joel, Bon Jovi, Destiny’s Child, Eric Clapton, James Taylor and The Who? Bill Clinton, “The Concert for New York City (to Benefit the Robin Hood Relief Fund)” (Columbia Records, 2001)

In the leave ‘em with a laugh department, there is this. Perhaps the least musical president was Ulysses S. Grant, the guy buried in Grant’s Tomb. He was said to have been terribly tone deaf. He was credited with his honesty when he said, “I only know two tunes. One of them is ‘Yankee Doodle’ and the other isn’t.”

Happy Presidents/ Day, everybody.

‘Hail to the Chief’ wasn’t always so presidential

Presidents Day: ‘Hail to the Chief’ wasn’t always so presidential

“Hail to the Chief” was first associated with a president on Feb. 22, 1815, when it was played (under the title “Wreaths for the Chieftain”) partly to honor George Washington (depicted on the left on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota), who died in 1799.Scott Olson/Getty Images

February 18, 2022

Is there a more authoritatively “American”-sounding composition than “Hail to the Chief”? What’s most surprising, however, is that the origin of the music isn’t American at all, and its use might have had a lot to do with making up for shortcomings.

Played to announce the arrival of the president at official state functions, “Hail to the Chief,” is typically preceded with a fanfare of four “ruffles and flourishes” and then the familiar march.

Hail to the Chief chorus sheet music and lyrics

To get the whole history, we have to start at the beginning, which in this case is Walter Scott’s poem “The Lady of the Lake.” The poem is a narrative of how a wayward clan from the Scottish Highlands loses its territory to an invasion.

The poem was published May 8, 1810, and with it came fame and money, selling 25,000 copies in less than a year. The thrilling plot and in-depth characters lent to an easy stage adaptation; 1811 saw at least three productions in London alone, plus one in Edinburgh, Scotland, produced by Edmund John Eyre.

A year later, the sensation swept across the Atlantic, and the Scottish version had its U.S. debut in Philadelphia’s New Theater on New Year’s Day, 1812. Among the songs selected to accompany the play was James Sanderson’s “Hail to the Chief,” written for one of the London productions, taking this stanza to heart:

Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Honored and blessed be the ever-green Pine!

Sanderson set “Hail to the Chief” to the words of Stanza XIX of the Second Canto of Scott’s “Lady of the Lake.” The poem’s “Chief” was the Scottish folk hero Roderick Dhu, who strove to protect the Douglas clan from their enemy, King James V, but died at the monarch’s hand.

Because of the play’s popularity, sheet music was made available. The first U.S. sheet music for “Hail to the Chief” was published in Philadelphia under the title “March and Chorus, ‘Hail to the Chief,’ in the Dramatic Romance of The Lady of the Lake.”

Given its sheer availability and rousing pomp, it was only a matter of time before U.S. presidents became the “chief” in the title. “Hail to the Chief” was first associated with a chief executive on Feb. 22, 1815, when it was played (under the title “Wreaths for the Chieftain”) to honor George Washington, who died in 1799, and the end of the War of 1812.

It was used sporadically to honor presidents throughout the next few decades. Andrew Jackson was the first living president to hear it in his honor in 1829. It made an appearance at Martin Van Buren’s inauguration in 1837. But then in 1841, first lady Julia Tyler, wife of John Tyler, requested its use to announce the president’s arrival.

Her request formalized its use, but that doesn’t mean it was widely accepted. It was, however, included in some musical instruction books, including the one that future first lady Sarah Childress Polk studied. Of course, it was included in her husband’s inauguration but would also prove helpful for one of his administration’s shortcomings — his meekness.

Historian William Seale explained: “Polk was not an impressive figure, so some announcement was necessary to avoid the embarrassment of his entering a crowded room unnoticed. At large affairs, the band … rolled the drums as they played the march … and a way was cleared for the president.”

President Chester Arthur was not a fan and requested that none other than John Philip Sousa compose a new piece. Sousa, who for a great part of his career directed the U.S. Marine Band, came back with the forgettable “Presidential Polonaise.”

President Harry Truman — an amateur musicologist and outstanding pianist — spent time tracing the origins of the piece and in 1954 the Department of Defense established it as the official musical tribute to the president.

The Lyrics

Lyrics that were written by Albert Gamse are set to James Sanderson’s music, but they are rarely sung.

Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.
Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation
In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.
Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
This you will do, that’s our strong, firm belief.
Hail to the one we selected as commander,
Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!

In addition, Putin admitted to his passion for jazz.

The ex-president of the United States himself said that he was a big fan of The Rolling Stones, Eminem and Elton John, and his favorite song is “Is that all there is?” (“Is that all?”) ​​performed by Peggy Lee. “It’s a great song because I’ve had an amazing success and then moved on to the next one, reminding myself, ‘Oh, is that it?’ Trump told his biographer Michael D’Antonio.

Lavrov singled out the bard Vladimir Vysotsky among his favorite performers, and named folk and jazz as his favorite genres. The Minister of Foreign Affairs also said that he likes the work of saxophonist Igor Butman, the British group The Beatles and Frank Sinatra.

Iosif Stalin

It is believed that Stalin was especially fond of the Georgian lyric song “Suliko”, the words and music to which were written by Varinka and Akaki Tsereteli. The song is great for friendly feasts and, it is not excluded, was sometimes used by the Soviet leader during gatherings in the country.

Vladimir Zelensky and Petro Poroshenko

The former and current presidents of Ukraine have rather different tastes in music. So, in 2019, the HB Ukraine channel asked presidential candidates about their musical preferences. Then Zelensky replied that he liked the songs of the British singer Adele. Poroshenko considered the march of the new Ukrainian army a real hit.

Emmanuel Macron

The French President prefers the great classics in everything: art, cinema and music. His idol is the French chansonnier Charles Aznavour, recognized as the best pop singer of the 20th century by Time and CNN.

Putin on the first day of the invasion, February 24, at a meeting with representatives of Russian business

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the Ukrainian military, who are now repelling the attack of Russian troops on their country, and offered to take power into their own hands. The Kremlin said that Russia is ready to send a delegation to negotiate with Ukraine in Minsk. This was preceded by an appeal by President Volodymyr Zelensky to Putin with a proposal to sit down at the negotiating table.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine began early in the morning. At the same time, Putin’s address was aired. On Thursday evening, Putin spoke about the war, which he calls a special military operation, with business.

Now he spoke about this at a meeting with the permanent members of the Russian Security Council.

Literally, his words sounded like this: “I once again appeal to the military personnel of the armed forces of Ukraine. Do not allow neo-Nazis and Bendera to use your children, your wives and old people as human shields … Take power into your own hands! It looks like you and I will easier to negotiate than with this gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis, who settled in Kyiv and took hostage the entire Ukrainian people.

Putin did not specify whom he called “drug addicts” and “neo-Nazis”.

It is also not clear whether the Russian president meant a military coup.

  • The Kremlin: it is necessary to clean up Ukraine from “pro-Nazi people”

Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov spoke about the Ukrainian government in a similar vein the day before. The purpose of the invasion of Ukraine, he called the “demilitarization” and “denazification” of the country. Responding to a request to explain what “denazification” is, Peskov said: “Ideally, Ukraine should be liberated, cleaned from the Nazis. From pro-Nazi people and ideology.”

On Friday, a Kremlin spokesman said that Russia was ready to send a delegation to Minsk for talks with Ukraine. This was preceded by an appeal by President Volodymyr Zelensky to Putin.

  • Zelensky offered negotiations to Putin. The Kremlin is ready to send a delegation to Minsk

“I want to appeal to the President of the Russian Federation again. Fighting is going on all over Ukraine. Let’s sit down at the negotiating table. To stop the death of people,” Zelensky said.

In a nightly speech in which the President of Ukraine announced the deaths of 137 Ukrainians on the first day of the invasion, he said that Kyiv was not afraid of talking about the country’s neutral status. These words drew attention in the Kremlin.

“This is more of a move towards the positive. Now we have to analyze it. I can’t say more yet,” Peskov said at the daily briefing. Later, he announced Moscow’s readiness for negotiations with Kyiv in Minsk and again interpreted Zelensky’s words as if he “declared his readiness to discuss the neutral status of Ukraine.”

“In this context, in response to Zelensky’s proposal, Vladimir Putin is ready to send a Russian delegation to Minsk at the level of representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the presidential administration for negotiations with the Ukrainian delegation,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

Later, Peskov clarified – “after a short pause,” as he claims, the Ukrainians said that “they are reconsidering the idea with Minsk and now they want to go to Warsaw, and after that they completely left the connection and took a break.” “And this pause has been going on for quite some time,” he added.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier on Friday that Zelensky was “telling lies” about his readiness to discuss a neutral status.

UNESCO City of Music – Tallinn invites you to International Music Day

On Saturday, October 1, the International Music Day, initiated by UNESCO, will be celebrated as Tallinn for the first time as a UNESCO City of Music. On this occasion, free concerts will be held throughout the city.

This is a gift that we should appreciate. In 1975, violinist and then President of the International Music Council Yehudi Menuhin proclaimed International Music Day, which emphasizes the importance of music to all people around the world. We need to be grateful that we have music and people who can create and perform it, enlivening sounds and making us all better, ”added Ilya.

June 12 is the Day of Russia, one of the youngest holidays, because of which the labor calendar “reddens”. The fact that this day is a day off is spelled out in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. This year the holiday falls on Sunday, so its celebration is postponed to Monday and we will rest for three days.

Day of Russia appeared in 1990, but not immediately in the form in which we know it today.

32 years ago, on June 12, 1990, at the first Congress of People’s Deputies of the RSFSR, the Declaration on the Sovereignty of Russia was adopted, and our country also received a new name – the Russian Federation.

The constitution became the main guarantor, and the country, in fact, gained independence – along with other republics that had been part of the Soviet Union for many years.

A year later, the new country got a president, on that day the Russians elected Boris Yeltsin. In 1994, the head of state signed a decree: June 12 was recognized as a public holiday – the Day of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian Federation. But for the people, the long name was shortened to “independence day.” By the way, Yeltsin also proposed calling the holiday the Day of Russia at 1998, but the name was fixed only on February 1, 2002, after new amendments were made to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

One of the government traditions on this day is the presentation of State Prizes of the Russian Federation in the Kremlin Palace. The awards from the hands of the president are received by figures of science, art and humanitarian activities. Celebrations are held on Red Square, which end with fireworks.

In St. Petersburg, the schedule for the holiday is less formal: concerts and competitions in urban areas, festive film screenings and other activities. But the main thing is that we have three days off filled with interesting events.

From 9 to 11 June, the International Flower Festival takes place in St. Petersburg. The organizers have prepared a competition program, exhibitions and colorful processions along Nevsky Prospekt.

On June 12, during the Brass Band Defile, more than 450 musicians will gather in the Peter and Paul Fortress. So they will remind you of the tradition that Peter the Great laid down. He created the Military Orchestra Service of the young regular Russian army and was a full-time senior drummer of the Preobrazhensky Regiment.

The Presidential Library Fund keeps evidence of the birth of world musical masterpieces

Dmitry Shostakovich

October 1 is International Music Day, established on the initiative of the International Music Council under UNESCO in 1973. One of the ideological inspirers of this holiday was our compatriot, composer Dmitry Shostakovich.

He issued an open letter to the United Nations, where he asked to establish a Music Day and thus show its important role in uniting peoples and exchanging cultural experience.

All over the world, and in our country since 1996, the holiday is celebrated with bright concerts, performances by the best artists, performance of musical masterpieces. The Presidential Library stock contains many documents and rare publications that tell how many works were created.

These stories are sometimes difficult, like the birth of Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony. In the digitized file of the newspaper “Leningradskaya Pravda” for the period of the Great Patriotic War in the issue of August 7, 19For 42 years, you can read a note about the preparation for the performance of this work in a besieged city, which became a real harbinger of victory.

On August 9, 1942, Dmitri Shostakovich’s 7th Symphony was performed in Leningrad.

Karl Ilyich Eliasberg conducted the Orchestra of the Leningrad Radio Committee.

“In a conversation with a TASS correspondent Comrade. Eliasberg said: “We have completed all the preparatory work. Now the orchestra team is busy with the artistic finishing of the performance of the symphony. The score of the Seventh Symphony was written for double the orchestra.

In the conditions of the blockaded city, this presented us with a number of difficulties. We invited musicians from army bands to work on the symphony. <...> Already in the first part, the sincere lyrical musical story about the joyful life of free Soviet people is interrupted at first by a distant, then more and more close and formidable theme of the war.

Piece by piece, until the finale, in which the solemn hymn of victory sounds, Shostakovich develops in musical images and sounds the idea of ​​love for a free man and hatred for the enemy who has trampled on the happiness of millions of people. <…> Shostakovich wrote the symphony under bombardment and artillery shelling.

Maybe that is why he was able to express so deeply and movingly the feelings of millions of heroic fighters for the freedom, culture and happiness of the Soviet people.”

Karl Eliasberg – an artist of his time

The score of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony with the conductors’ handwritten notes, which, risking his life, was delivered to the besieged city by a military pilot, can now be seen on the library’s portal. Here is the program for that famous concert, which also served as a ticket.

Many materials kept in the Presidential Library’s collections are dedicated to the work of Mikhail Glinka, who, as the critic Vladimir Stasov wrote, “has the same significance in Russian music as Pushkin in Russian poetry.” Both are great talents, both are the founders of the new Russian artistic creativity, both created a new Russian language – one in poetry, the other in music.

Olga Raeva: “And here Glinka is the first!”

Evidence of how the formation of an outstanding composer took place is kept in the Presidential Library.

Thus, Glinka’s notes of that period were published in the monthly historical journal “Russian Starina” for 1870:

and at rehearsals, but I became close to this first, in my opinion, composer of our century, as much as you can get close to an extremely eccentric person.

Some time later, Glinka confessed to Berlioz, “I understood that music is created by the people. It is time for Russian composers, who are still on the same level of random use of folk song motifs, to rise one step higher. Thus, the idea of ​​a national opera was born in him, and soon, as it is told in the book by Alexei Gruzinsky “M. I. Glinka”, he writes to his friend:

“I have a project in my head, an idea… It seems to me that I could give a large composition at our theater. The main thing is the choice of the plot. In any case, it will be completely national. And not only the plot, but also the music: I want my dear compatriots to be here at home.”

Vasily Avenarius’s book “The Creator of the Russian Opera, Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka” (1903) describes the very beginning of the creation of the masterpiece:

“We Russians, as a matter of fact, do not yet have our own national music. To write a real Russian opera is my dream.” After these words, Mikhail Glinka sat down at the piano. An aria sounded in the room, now known to every Russian who has heard at least once the opera A Life for the Tsar. “This is something completely new, fresh and at the same time so familiar, dear! exclaimed the delighted interlocutor. “The theme is purely Russian, folk…”

Pyotr Tchaikovsky: “One can live only in Russia”

From the selection of materials dedicated to another no less outstanding world-famous composer, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, one can also learn about the emergence of masterpieces, about the foreboding of their author.

We have had no bad experience with this school. From day one, having such a great support system and knowing we were leaving our daughter with people who really care; they’re not faking it. Our daughter really enjoys all of the teachers she’s had, and constantly wants to check back in to say hi and give hugs to previous teachers. That just tells me how great of care she received from each of them,

and how she still feels about them. I still can’t believe how quickly she’s advancing and enjoys learning. I give the school 100% of the credit because I know it wasn’t me feeding this love for Pete the Cat. This is truly a great school and I will have no hesitation bringing new additions to our family into this school.

I absolutely love this daycare. All the staff is very genuine and polite. My daughter loves all the staff, and regularly talks to and hugs them, even if they’re a teacher from another classroom. We’ve gone through 2 classroom transitions so far, and each one has been smooth. I love that my daughter feels safe and comfortable with the teachers and very much appreciate their care and attention.

image, characterization, description, friendship with Alyosha

Good Deed and Alyosha.
Still from the film “Gorky’s Childhood” 1938

Good Deed is one of the brightly positive characters in the story “Childhood” by Maxim Gorky.

A good thing is a close friend of the main character, Alyosha Peshkov.

This article presents a quotation image and characterization of the Good Cause in the story “Childhood” by Gorky: a description of the character and appearance of the hero, Alyosha’s friendship and the Good Cause.

The story about Good Deed and his life in the Kashirins’ house can be found in chapter VIII of the story “Childhood”.

See:
– Summary of the story “Childhood”
– All materials on the story “Childhood”

Good Deed in the story “Childhood” by Gorky: image, characterization, description, friendship with Alyosha

Good Deed is one of the lodgers living in the Kashirins’ house:
“… But the parasite Good Case. He rented a room in the back half of the house next to the kitchen, long, with two windows – into the garden and into the yard … “

The real name of Good Deed is not indicated in the story:
“… Lenka, shout Good Deed to drink tea!. .”
“… He was silent, inconspicuous, and when he was invited to dine, to drink tea, he invariably answered:
– Good deed.
Grandmother began to call him in his eyes and behind his eyes.
– Lenka, shout Good Deed to drink tea ! You, Good Deed, why don’t you eat enough?..”

Appearance of a Good Deed:
“…He was a thin, round-shouldered man, with a white face in a black forked beard, kind eyes, wearing glasses…”
“…a pinkish smile flashed on his chalky face.. .”
“…wiping his glasses, sniffing the blueprints, almost touching the paper with his thin and straight, strangely white nose…” odorous, disheveled and awkward…”
“…a crumpled, dirty collar of his shirt stuck out over the collar of his jacket, his trousers were stained and patched, on his bare feet there were worn-out shoes…”
“…the merry military wife called him ‘chalk nose’.”
“…holding out her hand to me in ulcers and burn scars…”
“…looking somewhere past with the blind eyes of an eagle owl. .. “
“…mumbles, biting his red lips, or draws softly in a hoarse voice…” like a kitten…”

Good Deed – kind person:
“… with kind eyes…”

Good Deed – a silent, inconspicuous person:
“…He was silent, inconspicuous…”
“…always in the corner, near the stove, motionless and silent* sticking out the Good Deed…” (* mutely – silently)

Good Deed speaks little, but is always expressed in the right words:
gently pushed me and pointed with his eye, winking…”

A good deed is fond of chemistry and is engaged in experiments:
“… His whole room was crammed and littered with some boxes, thick books of civilian printing unfamiliar to me, everywhere there were bottles with multi-colored liquids, pieces of copper and iron, rods of lead. from morning to evening he … melted lead, soldered some copper things, weighed something on small scales, mumbled, burned his fingers and hurriedly blew on them, stumbled over to the drawings on the wall . .. ”

Good Deed – poor man:

“…he was poor…”

Good Deed – a very lonely person:
“…You see, I’m terribly alone, I don’t have anyone! in the soul, it will break through … Ready to speak to a stone, a tree … ”

Good Deed – a very nice person, but no one in the Kashirins’ house appreciates this, except for Alyosha:
“… I started talking about what is in this a very nice man lived in the room, but no one liked him…”

Friendship of Alyosha and Good Cause

Nobody in the Kashirins’ house likes a Good Deed, except for Alyosha:
“… Nobody in the house loved a Good Deed; everyone talked about it laughingly…”
“… they didn’t love…”

Alyosha is drawn to a good deed, because he understands his loneliness:
“…And I was drawn to him again. alone, ”there was something understandable to me in these words, touching my heart, and I followed him . .. “0016

Alyosha and Good Deed become friends:
“… We became friends. From that day on, I came to Good Deed whenever I wanted, sat in a box with some kind of rag and unrestrictedly watched how it melts lead, heats copper …”

Alyosha is firmly attached to the Good Cause:
“…I quickly and firmly became attached to the Good Cause, it became necessary for me both in the days of bitter insults and in hours of joy. Silent, he did not forbid me talk about everything that came into my head…”

Sometimes Alyosha and Good Deed look silently out the window for a long time:

Alyosha understands Good Deed very well:
all superfluous, incorrect words, before I had time to say them, I saw and cut off away with two affectionate blows:
– You’re lying, brother!..”

Good Deed says wise words that Alyosha remembers for the rest of his life:
“…Sometimes he unexpectedly spoke words to me that remained with me for the rest of my life. .. “

The Kashirins’ house doesn’t like the Good Deed because he’s not like everyone else:
“…– Why don’t they love you, nobody?
<...>
– Alien – do you understand? That’s for it. Not like that…”

Even Alyosha’s kind grandmother doesn’t like the Good Deed:
“…everyone, even grandmother, explained it differently, hostile to the freeloader, incorrectly and insultingly.
– Why are you sticking around with him?” Grandma asked angrily. “Look, he will teach you something…”
“.. .Grandma is afraid of you, she says you are a warlock…”

Grandfather beats Alyosha for every visit to the Good Deed room:
“…And grandfather beat me severely for every visit to the freeloader, which became known to him.. .”
“…and grandfather [says] also that you are an enemy to God and dangerous to people…”

Grandfather survives Good Cause from home, and he leaves to live in another place:
“. ..Finally they survived him…”
“…and grandfather refused him an apartment…”

Alyosha resents grandma and grandpa for surviving Good Deed:
“…Why did you send him away? <...> You are all fools…”

Good Deed – one of the best people in Alyosha’s life :
“…Thus ended my friendship with the first person from an endless series of strangers in my own country, her best people…”

This was a quotation image and characterization of Good Cause in Gorky’s story “Childhood”: a description of the character and appearance of the hero, Alyosha’s friendship and Good Cause.

Happy childhood, or who to say thank you for this

Now it has become very fashionable to post photos from the sixties, seventies, the last century on the net. Photos of childhood. In these photos, children with skates, skis, snowball fights, snowmen, or with balls, on the river, in bathing shorts in accordance with the fashion of those years, in the park on the carousel. Well, and so on.

And next to it are photos of modern children. With iPhones, phones, iPads, tablets and computers.

And signatures, almost in large letters – they are, well, those children, modern, poor and unfortunate, downtrodden and miserable. And here they are, well, those children from the past, happy, healthy, hardened, and so on.

Actually, this whole dilemma – who has a happier childhood, is from the same opera (problem) called “fathers and sons.”

I think that all those who zealously yell about their happy childhood, which took place in the last century, are somewhat cunning. He is cunning in that he was happy with those toys that are wooden and nailed to the floor (in this sentence, evil sarcasm, for those in the tank). It is cunning that modern children with their devices and gadgets are not entirely happy, but on the contrary, they are miserable and orphans.

But this is not true.

The truth is that all children, of any age, unlike adults, live HERE AND NOW.

They still lack the memory of the past, not genetic, but ordinary memory – memories, nostalgia. They don’t pan their lives. They can dream of becoming astronauts, policemen, firefighters, prostitutes, bandits, deputies, ministers (every generation has its own dreams).

But they don’t make plans – how to buy a car, how much to pay off a loan, how to feed a family, stupidly, where to get money?

Yes, the awareness of who your parents are and what kind of spoon you have in your mouth comes to modern children earlier. If earlier children thought about this around the age of sixteen/seventeen, now this awareness comes much earlier.

But the fact that this awareness comes is not always the merit of children. This is most likely the fault of the parents, who have not yet matured, and continue, as in kindergarten, to find out among themselves who is pissing higher on the wall, regardless of the time of stitching. Drawing children into their adult games. So it was in the last century, in the same way, if not more acutely, things are the same now.

Half of children’s complexes are imposed on children by adults who simply stupidly do not understand life and draw children into their adult showdowns.

But in fact, children are concerned about completely different problems, and completely different things. At any time for any child, the problem of a broken toy is a tragedy. Tragedy on the brink of the collapse of the world. And the child does not care what parents will buy food, clothes, fill the car with. He doesn’t give a damn about it. His toy is BREAKED!

That’s the problem.

And the rest of the crap becomes important to him only years later.

He is worried about what is there, behind that distant turn? Where does the sun go to sleep? Why don’t people fall off the globe when they are at the bottom? Where is the bottom of the earth? And what….? But why….?

The fact that children of the last century spent more time outdoors.

Here, yes. Here the argument is ironclad. But the answer is no less compelling.

You can’t play football in an apartment.

All children’s games from the past were connected with the street. Therefore, they spent more time on it.

But one more, no less weighty argument. He is for and against at the same time.

In my time, and I spent my childhood in the wild steppes of Transbaikalia, even in a village surrounded on all sides by camps (zones) and settlements with settlers (chemists) at eleven o’clock in the evening it was much calmer on the street than now at three o’clock in the afternoon in the central park of any city in central Russia.

So that modern parents will think eight more times whether to let their child go outside? Or let him sit at home at the computer, but safe and sound.

So, do not be cunning fellow adults with childhood from the last century, we are on the street with a ball and a puck, with wooden pistols and Cossack robbers. I think so – give you the same gadgets, computers and smartphones in your childhood, but who the hell would make you play the same Cossack robbers. Or run with wooden pistols to play war games when you can drive on the same phone in DODU. You just didn’t have such toys!!!

Those who post such photos with appropriate captions are cunning. And maybe everything is easier.

The complex of unhappy childhood with wooden toys nailed to the floor makes these very nailed toys look like the best happiness. This version is supported by the fact – how many adults now, right here and now, are killing time on social networks? But it is a kind of toy for adults. Or the fact – how many adults, as a percentage of children, sit in online games?

In general, there are much more adults on the Internet than children. But adults working, that is, earning money on the Internet, are much less than the same young generation.

Here is your grandmother and St. George’s Day.

One should not compare what cannot be compared.

Childhood of the last century and modern childhood.

Every childhood has its own happiness. And the taste of ice cream too. And even the trees of each childhood have their own height. Children cannot choose. Children can only enjoy what their time gives them. Because children, I repeat, live HERE AND NOW.

And please, adult comrades, stop talking nonsense, and don’t interfere with your adult games and showdowns. It is not necessary to interfere with childhood to be happy.

And the fact that today’s children spend little time on the street lies in a completely different area. And this topic completely depends on the will of adults. But adults do not decide this topic. It’s easier for them to whine that their childhood was happier, however, forgetting who and how provided them with this happiness.

Alexander Malofeev: Tchaikovsky has been with me since childhood

Among the many events dedicated to the anniversary of P.I. Tchaikovsky, the release by Sony Classical of the complete collection of symphonies and instrumental concertos by the greatest Russian composer, performed by the State Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan under the baton of Alexander Sladkovsky, is noticeable, in the recording of which many outstanding musicians took part. With one of them, a young talented pianist Alexander Malofeev (AM) Irina Shymchak (IS) spoke.

ISH On May 7 the world celebrates the 180th anniversary of P.I. Tchaikovsky. You took part in the recording of the complete collection of symphonies and instrumental concertos by Tchaikovsky with the State Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan under the direction of Alexander Sladkovsky, which was released on May 1 on the Sony Classical label. What exactly did you perform?

AM I was entrusted with the First Concert. Alexander Vitalyevich Sladkovsky and I have a very warm relationship. First, he offered me to perform the Third Concerto for recording, and when he found out that I couldn’t play it in time, he said: “Come on the First.” It was very unexpected for me. I remember the day we recorded as incredibly bright and filled with fun. It happened in Kazan, Pavel Igorevich Lavrenenkov, a wonderful sound engineer from the Moscow Philharmonic, was with us . .. I think our tandem was able to convey this sublime joy in music. We had a very close-knit team.

ISH Which edition of the concerto was chosen for recording?

AM I played Siloti’s version, although I also know Peter Ilyich’s version. Here the question is purely technical: all the orchestras of the world are accustomed to Siloti’s version and insist on playing it. When an organizer wants Tchaikovsky’s First Concerto, he has in mind the kind of music he is used to, and if you start arpeggiating chords from the first bars, this is, of course, very beautiful, but bewildering.

With Alexander Sladkovsky at the Saydashev Concert Hall

ISH How long did it take to record?

AM About half a year. After the session itself, Pavel Igorevich and I continued to work remotely. This is a very painstaking exercise in headphones at the computer: I listened to the recording many times, made lists of edits, and Pavel Igorevich sent new versions. This homework took much longer than the actual recording with the orchestra in Kazan.

ISH What is your impression after working with Alexander Sladkovsky and the orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan?

AM We played a lot with Alexander Vitalyevich even before recording. But the First Tchaikovsky with him at the console was never played. Despite this, absolute freedom was felt on the stage. Of course, we re-recorded some places with the orchestra, I also wrote solo cadenzas after the general session. But inside the orchestra there was an amazing involvement in the process. I think that Alexander Sladkovsky and his team is a rare example of a union that puts the desire to create music at the forefront. We managed to realize all the ideas that I had before coming to Kazan. And it seems to me that this recording of the First Concerto is permeated with spring freshness and lightness, which we now really lack. This is the level of interaction that is not always possible to achieve in concerts even with several rehearsals.

ISH And how did Peter Ilyich enter your life?

AM I don’t remember, it seems to me that he has been with me since childhood. And “The Seasons”, and the Children’s Album, and concerts – this is what is inherent in us with our genes. Have you noticed that the First Concert is now part of popular and mass culture? He’s really great, and the frequency of his performance doesn’t make him worse.

ISH Since we remembered our childhood, let’s talk about how it all began. When did you first feel that the piano was your instrument?

AM As long as I can remember, music has always been around. At the age of five, my parents took me to the music school named after N.P. Osipova opposite the house where we lived, to the same teacher with whom my older sister studied, and this teacher was Elena Vladimirovna Berezkina. In parallel, I studied at the linguistic gymnasium. Of course, sometimes I resisted, but my parents were still adamant ( smiles ), and for this I am very grateful to them. I played a lot at Moscow venues and competitions. And then, at the age of 11, the first big competition in my life happened – Astana Piano Passion, where for the first time I played Grieg’s concerto with the orchestra (moreover, I played it in its entirety – then the rules allowed). After this competition, when I returned to Moscow, I had my first solo concerts, I began to go on big stages, often playing with orchestras. The teacher and I planned the repertoire, taking into account future performances, sometimes a year in advance. I think that at the moment when I was eleven years old, I caught fire with music myself. And at twelve, after winning the VIII International Tchaikovsky Competition for Youth in Moscow, I moved to the Gnessin School and continued to study there with my own teacher. Of course, in Gnesinka it was much easier for me than before.

ISH Was Elena Vladimirovna your teacher from the very beginning and throughout your studies at Gnesinka?

AM Yes. We have a very warm relationship, and when a year ago I entered the Moscow Conservatory to Sergei Leonidovich Dorensky, our communication was not interrupted. I love meeting her every time. Her opinion, I think, will always be one of the most valuable for me.

With Elena Berezkina

ISH Was it the same teacher who gave you hands, introduced you to the profession of a musician?

AM Yes, those hands that she gave me at the very beginning help me now. But, as you understand, our teachers are not only hands. Every musician, I believe, can talk for hours about what a person who has dedicated part of his life to him means to him. And if it’s 12 years old… I can only say that Elena Vladimirovna is an incredibly talented teacher.

ISH But your fate was changed by the Tchaikovsky Youth Competition?

AM Absolutely. I played the Second Concerto of Saint-Saens on the stage of the BZK, at the age of 12. It was then that I probably really felt the responsibility of the performer to the public, to the people who believe in you and support you. It was truly a turning point, a moment of growing up. I realized that the choice had been made. And then in 2014 there was Gnesinka with its amazing atmosphere, largely created by our director Mikhail Sergeevich Khokhlov. My work rhythm has accelerated significantly.

ISH What basic principles were laid down in you during this period of study? I mean, playing standards, musical experience, what is left with you for life.

AM In Gnesinka, I got real musical communication, because until the age of 12 I was practically isolated, outside the professional environment. In addition, in preparation for entering the Gnesinka, in the linguistic gymnasium, I jumped from the sixth to the seventh grade in the middle of the year. I became more serious about music, and relationships with classmates came to naught. In Gnesinka, I finally found my home, got into an atmosphere of creativity and communication with people obsessed with the same. We discussed everything together and now we study together at the conservatory. I think it is very important for a musician to be in his habitat as soon as possible, including next to older comrades.

ISH Does this friendship continue?

AM Yes, someone entered the conservatory, someone went abroad, but we correspond. I have the warmest memories of this school.

ISH How were the final exams at the Gnessin School, and what was in the specialty program? Was it easy or difficult?

AM In fact, it turned out to be impromptu, because I just came from a competition in China and got “from the ship to the ball.” There was a big five-round marathon in Beijing. I lived there for about a month, and all this time I studied for twelve hours. When I returned, it was necessary to finish school not only in my specialty. It was a difficult period. I had to repeat Bach and the etudes the day before. Much, of course, was in the hands, so the impromptu was a success. As a result, he played Beethoven’s Appassionata, Rachmaninov’s Second Sonata, Chopin’s Etude, Liszt’s Mazepa.

ISH After graduating from the Gnesinka, you entered the Moscow Conservatory under Sergei Leonidovich Dorensky, but managed to unlearn from him for less than a year. How do you remember him?

AM He radiated some incredible light every time we met. I was with Sergei Leonidovich almost all the time in Moscow. He was interested in everything: what happened on trips, how we lived in hotels, what piano was provided for the performance … I constantly called him when I left. We made plans for the future. Sergei Leonidovich is a legend of the Moscow Conservatory and of all Russian culture. You can talk for a long time about his professional qualities, they are known to everyone, but I will remember him as an incredibly kind, touching person. This short period, which I spent with Sergei Leonidovich, became for me the most peaceful time in my still not very long life. I guess I really found myself.

With Sergei Leonidovich Dorensky

ISH Did he add something to you, correct or improve something?

AM Sergei Leonidovich looked at all the music (this came from his vast experience) with incredible calmness, as if embracing it from above under the prism of his life. He knew all the notes of the main repertoire, he knew what was written there by heart. Only once did he take notes when I played a sonata by Medtner … He constantly listened to my recordings, which I brought from trips, he himself asked me to turn them on. This ability of the overall coverage of the work, very valuable, I hope, to some extent, I was able to take from him.

ISH Now all educational institutions have been transferred to distance learning. How do you think the distance process affects the quality of education in music institutions?

AM I see this as a temporary evil. For a musician, if we do not take into account independent work at the instrument, when solitude is a plus, distance learning with a teacher in the specialty, and with other teachers, certainly loses in quality. The very process of personal communication, attitude, experience of the teacher are of great importance, and the screen does not let you feel it. It doesn’t make up for it. In addition, sound refraction inevitably arises, this is a purely technical, but gigantic problem.

ISH After winning the Youth Tchaikovsky Competition and the Grand Piano Competition, you have become a young star, you probably have a professional management. Who determines your tour map, your repertoire and frequency of performances?

AM I currently determine the repertoire and frequency of performances myself, and my mother plans all technical issues – the site and the general schedule. In each country, of course, there are people who deal with this particular country, but in general, all the technical work lies with my mother. To be frank, not a single large concert agency will deal with a website, a schedule, listen to an artist like the closest person.

ISH How do you choose the work you will study? Why does your heart go specifically to something? Or does the concert manager advise you?

AM The solo program is determined only by myself. I decide the program with orchestras with the conductors I play with. When something excites me, I simply cannot refuse it: for example, at the moment I am drawn to Rachmaninov. Rachmaninov is generally the leitmotif of my life. Until I can stop. I play the Third Concerto, the Second. Rhapsody, Fourth Concerto I’m learning right now. The First Sonata also stands for the next season, and the First Concerto. Rachmaninoff is what I breathe now.

I also try to take Medtner’s works to the best of my ability, I feel attracted to them. But, unfortunately, Medtner is not as popular in foreign countries as, for example, Rachmaninov, and there are some problems with the organizers.

ISH In summary, you play Tchaikovsky’s First and Second Concertos, Second, Third, Fourth Concertos, Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, both sonatas by Rachmaninov, Prokofiev’s Third, maybe I don’t know something or missed something?

AM Prokofiev’s First and Second Concertos are also in progress. Many others: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Saint-Saens, Liszt…

ISH Wow. Moreover, at the age of 15 you already played Rachmaninov’s Second Concerto and Prokofiev’s Third. But these are all things that in themselves are the most difficult, not only in terms of technology, but above all – semantic content. Even mature pianists do not always master them. How did you teach them, what helped?

AM I played the third Prokofiev at the age of thirteen. I performed it for the first time at the Bolshoi Theater at the tenth anniversary of the Crescendo festival. It was incredibly difficult at the time, especially given my explosive growth in the program. Actually, after 11 years, I very actively began to expand the repertoire. I burned with this music, it corresponded to my cheerful mood for the future, and so far the Third Prokofiev is the most popular concerto in my repertoire in terms of performances.

ISH Most popular or most loved?

AM It’s hard to say “the most favorite” about a concert when there is the Third Rachmaninov, for example. It’s all very different.

ISH There are also two wonderful Chopin concertos… By the way, have you taken on Chopin yet?

AM No, haven’t played yet. One should come to Chopin concerts with some kind of irrepressible desire. Just like the Brahms concertos. These two composers are still waiting for me. I now play many solo works by Chopin and Brahms: sonatas, scherzos, various miniatures. And for their concerts, it seems to me, a certain state is required … At the moment there is none.

ISH You are growing, changing yourself, your perception of the world and music is changing. Does your reading of these concertos change with age?

AM New colors appear with each new performance. Something elusive, something unique happens on the stage, something that cannot be played in the same way. Of course, to perform Prokofiev’s Third Concerto, serious technical abilities are needed, which, obviously, have grown in me since I was 13 years old. But this concert is like a spark, it’s a meteor concert, and only when you play it more than 20 times, you get a feeling of shrinking to one small pixel that flies like a comet overhead and disappears. Somehow I feel it.

ISH Probably so. For me, for example, Prokofiev is the sunniest composer.

AM Well, not all. The second concert is very different from the Third, it’s not a spark, it’s absolutely some kind of abyss… I don’t even know how to describe in words my attitude to this concert.

ISH Did you play him?

AM I prepared it for this season. I’ve put it aside now, I’m learning something new. I really look forward to when it is needed, because, it seems to me, along with the Third Rachmaninov, it is the most difficult in form, content and load, of course.

ISH And for the first time I heard it in the brilliant performance of Vladimir Krainev. It seems to me that Krainev turned out to be surprisingly light and even seemingly festive.

AM According to my own feelings, Vladimir Krainev was able to bring hope to absolutely any music.

ISH On average, how long does it take you to master the material of any concert?

AM All the time I have, and this applies to absolutely any concert. It’s not measured in hours. For example, I learned the Third Rachmaninov very quickly, in a month. At the same time, when I start to remember it before a performance, I don’t see for myself the limit where I can go in it, as in some other works. In terms of drama, semantic fullness and, at the same time, clarity of topics, I cannot compare it with any piano work. In this sense, it requires an infinite amount of time.

ISH But he has such a feature that he quickly gets out of hand. The pianists told me that it was the Third Rachmaninov that should be taught every time as if from anew.

AM This seems to be very individual. Rachmaninoff was a great pianist and played everything he wrote himself. For me personally, there are much more uncomfortable compositions. I myself have different recordings of this concerto, and as a rule, Rachmaninov’s Third is just such a work where contact with the conductor is very important so that nothing contradicts the music. It is important that all the musicians on the stage are in harmony, so for me the tempo of, for example, the main part is not the main issue in this work. Although I noticed: regardless of what you did at the rehearsal, the conductors go into some kind of trance before this concert of Rachmaninov . .. There is something mystical about it, it seems to me.

ISH Let’s continue the theme of composers. Medtner, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev. From the works of these authors, you have planned the next concerts in America, Italy, Spain. Are they the most sought after overseas, or is that what you love?

AM For some reason now, really unexpectedly for myself, I noticed that my program mainly represents Russian authors. I don’t see this as some sort of overkill. For me, the process of choosing a program is very difficult and, as a rule, painful. The new program is thought out with much less enthusiasm than it is being done. You need to choose something, and in front of you is all the music of the world – it’s very difficult. It’s hard to explain, but my soul now lies precisely in Russian music, written at about the same time. Something connects my worldview with Medtner, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev.

ISH What kind of relationship do you have with composers? Do you perceive them as the authors of the text or as living people?

AM When you listen to music, it is impossible to imagine how Rachmaninoff or Prokofiev created their masterpieces. These are absolute gods for me. But when I’m on stage, only the piano exists for me, and I can express anything behind it, everything that I feel at the moment. It seems to me that composers themselves retreat before their own creations, as if receding into the background, leaving the music to live its own life.

ISH What do you listen to for yourself when you suddenly have free time?

AM As a rule, I listen to symphonic music much more often than piano music. Symphonies by Shostakovich, Mahler, Rachmaninov, sometimes some kind of opera. Music is always in my ears because I find myself in it. I wear headphones all the time.

ISH Which of the great pianists of the past is closer to you in terms of sound?

AM The twentieth century left a lot of great pianists. For me, three are of primary importance in life: these are Sergei Rachmaninov, Glenn Gould and Vladimir Sofronitsky.

ISH Outstanding musicians of our time had a great influence on your life: Vladimir Spivakov, Denis Matsuev, Alexander Sladkovsky. What would you take from each of them for yourself, what qualities appeal to you?

AM There is something incredibly attractive about them. These qualities are different for everyone: someone holds himself very high, in the style of Arturo Toscanini, someone, on the contrary, positions himself “closer to the people”, but each of them on the big stage is an absolute sun that you want to look at from which cannot be torn off. It is communication with such people as Vladimir Spivakov, Denis Matsuev, Alexander Sladkovsky, Valery Gergiev, Riccardo Chailly and many others with whom I was lucky to meet that gives a feeling of confidence, a calm attitude towards music, which was promoted by Sergei Leonidovich Dorensky. It’s the feeling that you’ve found your place in life and you’re just making music. You don’t have to look for anything. You just need to put your hands on the piano and listen to what you are playing.

With Mikhail Pletnev

ISH At the end of December last year you played Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F major with Mikhail Pletnev and RNO. Do you remember what he told you then?

AM Mikhail Vasilyevich told me the same thing that I just said. Then we met with him again and discussed my repertoire. He told me about Rachmaninov’s Fourth Concerto. He suggested that in order to play this concert, you need a lot of bile. And this is the place to be, because the impulses that take off in all of Rachmaninov’s work, in his last concert for some reason do not reach the top. They choke all the time. This is what came to Rachmaninoff with age.

ISH But he wrote it abroad, in exile, when he was cut off from his beloved Russia. He simply lacked the Russian air, no matter how trite it may sound. By the way, have you been to Rachmaninov’s Ivanovka?

AM No.

ISH You should definitely go there. When you get there, you will understand what he lacked in a foreign land.

AM Yes. And Mikhail Vasilyevich is generally the personification of calmness in music. I don’t think anyone has ever seen him worried or angry. This is an example of the very power that can be hidden behind any face and any hands, but it is incredibly attractive. You look mesmerized.

ISH On May 27th and 28th you were supposed to play solo concerts in Spain. The program is beautiful and complex: Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes, 4 Pieces for Piano Brahms Opus 119, Tchaikovsky’s Dumka, Rachmaninoff’s Second Sonata and Medtner’s Sonata-Reminiscence Opus 38. Is this a new program?

AM Partly, yes. Initially, Tchaikovsky’s The Four Seasons was planned in it, but, unfortunately, they did not fit for technical reasons. Brahms and Schumann were in the first part, Tchaikovsky’s The Four Seasons were in the second. When I studied at Gnesinka, I was faced with the task of constantly moving forward, learning something new, something more and more. Then I graduated, and I had a desire to play miniatures. Well, what miniatures can be more harmonious than Tchaikovsky’s The Four Seasons? I think this is the pinnacle of this genre.

But, unfortunately, I never completed this program. I was supposed to play it at the end of February on tour in Italy. I arrived there just on the weekend when the number of cases of coronavirus rose sharply from 10 to 100 people. On the same day, everything was closed, and the organizer of the concert advised me to urgently leave. Then it was very unexpected, and now the whole world is closed … But the plans still do not go astray due to quarantine. I sit and study. New works have already been announced for the fall.

ISH Will Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes be played?

AM They were planned for an American tour in October. But then again, the mayor of Los Angeles said that there would be no concerts until the end of the year.

To be honest, I am very sorry that I did not perform this program anywhere, because for a pianist the most important thing is that what you do at home, alone, is then performed for the audience. Otherwise, anxiety appears and covers a feeling of prostration. Lack of halls, lack of spectators … But this problem is not only mine now.

ISH How has your lifestyle changed during self-isolation?

AM My lifestyle hasn’t changed that much: I get up the same way, sit down at the instrument the same way and spend almost all the time with it. The only thing that has changed is that there are no concerts. Of course, the abrupt interruption of this dependence on the stage seems to dissolve you.

ISH You used to travel all the time, but now you are in one place. Isn’t it annoying?

AM In fact, when I go out with concerts, I don’t see many other countries, cities. The purpose of travel is to meet new people.

ISH Is it easy for you to communicate with people?

AM It’s easy for me to communicate with people, but I can’t communicate with them often. Much more often I communicate with the instrument.

ISH What do you think the world will be like when the borders finally open and public events are allowed, including performances in concert halls?

AM Everything depends very much on the timing. Many say that this year there will be no more performances. In the summer, I was supposed to have a debut tour in America, participation in big music festivals was planned. If the concerts start only next year, I think it will be very difficult for both the musicians and the public. The main percentage of viewers are people who constantly come to the hall, and everything is based on the need for music and the audience and artists. Artists still have to play. But how natural it will be for both the artist and the person who comes to the hall is a big question. Maybe something will start in the Russian regions in the summer, but the whole world, Moscow and St. Petersburg, most likely, will not open their concert halls even in the fall.

ISH If you try to explain in words, what is music for you?

AM Music can replace anything for a person. These are the emotions that you get from the instrument, and satisfaction on the physical level. Music is something absolutely inseparable from me. When I’m not playing an instrument myself, I always listen to her. This is my soul mate, with which I have grown so close that a quarantine attempt to tear off some piece of it from me is a tragic situation. I do not exclude that this forced self-isolation will exacerbate depressive moods among people. But I really hope that this period will soon be in the past, and music will help us cope with its consequences. 9Two Angels

“Every child has the right to a happy childhood.” The story of a mother of many children from Nizhny Tagil, who adopted three children | News of Nizhniy Tagil and Sverdlovsk Region

Children left without parental care or other relatives are popularly called “orphanage children”. But in the current realities, this is not entirely correct. Now orphans and children left without parental care live and undergo rehabilitation in complex centers of social services for the population. There are four such centers in Nizhny Tagil: Dzerzhinsky, Leninsky, Prigorodny and Tagilstroevsky. Kira Volkovskikh, a journalist from the Academy of Sciences Mezhdu Rows, spoke with a Tagil woman who took custody of three children, and with a specialist from the School of Foster Parents of the complex center for social services for the population of the Tagilstroevsky district, in order to dispel myths about the procedure for registering a substitute family.

As noted by Ksenia Lovyagina, a specialist at the School of Foster Parents, many potential parents at the beginning of their journey are wary of the decision to take an “orphanage” child into the family for several reasons. Firstly, many are afraid of paperwork and the fear that the procedure may drag on for a long time. Secondly, many are afraid of “bad genetics”: they say that a step-child will definitely follow in the footsteps of his unlucky parents, no matter what environment he grows up in. Thirdly, people are afraid that they will not cope with raising a child traumatized by a difficult fate and will not receive help from their family members.

Oksana and her large family

All these are just stereotypes, Oksana, a 33-year-old girl from Tagil, is sure (the name was changed at the request of the heroine. — Approx. ed.). The woman gave birth to her first daughter at the age of 23, and in 2020 she took two girls from the comprehensive center, who are now 5 and 6 years old. This year, Oksana decided to take another child – her youngest son is now 4 years old.

“Since high school, I have been thinking about adopting a child. I remember that in the 7th grade I went to a children’s camp in Antonovsky. There was an orphanage nearby. Even then, I asked my mother to take a child from this orphanage to our family, but times were difficult, at 90’s all survived as best they could. Of course, my mother had no time for foster children, ”recalls the Tagil woman.

Already in adulthood, Oksana returned to her long-standing desire – to give a family to a child who, for some reason, was deprived of her. But life circumstances did not add up. First, pregnancy and motherhood, then my own business, which took a lot of time and effort.

“In 2019, I decided it was time. It was necessary to officially find a job so that there was an official income and a clear work schedule. This was necessary in order to start the procedure for registering a foster family,” says Oksana. – Somehow colleagues went to a social rehabilitation center with volunteer help, I asked them to go with them. There I saw a girl, she was with her brother. Twins. I fell in love with her so much, right at first sight! And she began to collect documents, to study at the “School of Foster Parents”.

According to the woman, the collection of papers was much faster and easier than she initially thought. Oksana’s biological daughter took the appearance of a new sister and brother in her life with her mother well, without conflicts and jealousy. The two of them went to the complex center of social services for the population of the Tagilstroevsky district for classes at the School of Foster Parents.

Guest mode is a temporary stay of children in families on weekends and holidays. This practice helps orphans to go through adaptation in the circle of a real family. In addition, the transfer of a child to a “guest” family can serve as the first step towards adoption, an opportunity for adults and the baby to get to know each other better, to understand whether they can live together.

“I’ve been allowed to take guest custody. The twins’ mother was in prison. If, after her release, she wanted to pick them up, then she would have to write a statement that she wants to get a job and raise children. According to the law, such a parent is given six months to look for work. If I had taken custody of the twins, they would have been taken from me and given to my biological mother. My daughter got used to these children, but it was not possible to arrange them for permanent custody. My daughter, of course, was upset that we did not take the twins, but took other girls. But then I got used to it, ”says Oksana.

When asked if the children know that they were taken from a state educational institution, Oksana laughs in surprise and nods in the affirmative. According to the woman, it never occurred to her that such information should be hidden from children or others.

“Girls remember their mother, we discuss her with them. The eldest of the girls needs to talk, to hear answers to questions: why did mom do this, why were they taken away? We went to see the house where they lived. For children, this is very important. Even if they were small when they were left without parents, they still remember them and some fragments from their former life. I took my son when he was two years old, and even he recognized his dad from photographs.

Oksana says that her son does not talk to her about his biological parents. But if questions arise one day, then the woman is ready to answer everything without concealment. Oksana does not limit the contacts of her children with their relatives, if the desire to communicate is mutual.

The fact that the children are adopted, the mother of many children does not hide not only from them, but also from others. Oksana never noticed condemnation and sidelong glances at herself and does not understand why this, in principle, can be something shameful. Of course, at first, Oksana’s mother and grandmother got used to the adopted grandchildren, but now they treat them the same way as their relatives.

“When my mother comes to visit us, she always brings the same gifts. She does not have a division into “ours” and “theirs”. But my grandmother does not have a soul in our youngest son. It doesn’t leave her mouth. And it is not surprising, because he is a charmer, such a pretty little bell boy, ”the mother of many children rejoices.

Oksana dreams of building a big house for her big family. Despite the fact that she is a single mother, the woman does not expect help from anyone and plans to take more children into her family after expanding her living space. Oksana categorically does not believe in “bad genetics”. In her opinion, a person is formed by the environment: family, friends, relatives, but definitely not heredity. Shifting problems to genetics is just a removal of responsibility from yourself when you overlooked something, missed something, the woman is sure.

“Every child has the right to a happy childhood. The main thing is to love and hear your children,” says Oksana.

Adoption: from A to Z

It is customary in society to call a family that has adopted an orphan an adoptive family. But the foster family is only one of several forms of adopting a child. Also in the legislation there are such concepts as adoption, guardianship, foster or foster family. Together, such families are called in one word – substitutes.

Adoption is a form of adoption of a child into a family on the basis of blood rights. After adoption, the child is endowed with all rights and shares in the property, as a natural child, and also has the right to inheritance.

Guardianship — adoption of a child under 14 years of age into a family for education. After 14 years, this is already called guardianship, but the essence remains the same. Usually, children of close relatives are taken under guardianship, but it can also be issued for someone else’s child. The guardianship agreement is concluded for a limited time, and children under guardianship are still listed in the database of children for adoption. The rights of the guardian are limited: you are raising a child, but you are not his parents. You do not have the right to change the name and surname of the child, dispose of his property without the permission of the guardianship authorities.

Foster family is one of the forms of guardianship. The main difference is that the child is taken into the family on a reimbursable basis, that is, for money. Patronage also belongs to this category. When adopting a child, an agreement is concluded between the parents and the guardianship authorities for a certain period. But there are restrictions: more than eight children, including relatives, cannot be brought up in a foster family. If a child has siblings, then the family should take them all. Separation is allowed in rare cases. The amount of remuneration for foster parents, the amount for the maintenance of children, measures of social support for the family are determined by regional legislation.

The foster family is in many ways similar to the foster family, but the main difference is that the rights and obligations are shared between foster parents, guardianship authorities and a state institution under a tripartite agreement. The foster parent acts as an employee who receives wages for his work.

Whatever the form of adopting a child into a family, for people preparing for this serious step, it is mandatory to go through the “School of Adoptive Parents”. There are such schools in every district complex center of social services for the population.

“Many people think that adopting a child is a huge paperwork. But in fact, this is not at all the case. Most of the time is spent studying at the “School of Foster Parents”. We always tailor our classes to the needs of the candidates. We discuss with them a convenient time, since many people are working, most often classes are held on weekdays at 18:00. On weekends, we also train parents, ”says Ksenia Lovyagina, a representative of the School of Foster Parents.

Classes are held in the form of lectures, seminars, practical lessons, trainings and individual consultations. The entire program of the course is divided into four blocks: legal (social and legal), medical, psychological and pedagogical and social. The program of the legal block includes the provisions of the legislation regarding the protection of the rights of minors.

In the program of the medical block, candidates for the role of foster parents get acquainted with the peculiarities of the physical and mental state of health of orphans, as well as with the most common deviations in health and behavioral disorders.

In the program of the psychological, pedagogical and social blocks, parents will learn how the situation in the family changes with the advent of a foster child and what needs to be done to improve relations. Also, experts talk about what psychological characteristics are typical for children who have learned what an orphan experience, mistreatment, grief and loss are, about how best to interact with a foster child, teachers, guardianship and guardianship authorities and other organizations.

In 2022, the program included classes attended by existing foster parents who have extensive experience in raising children without parental care. These “trainee” families are happy to share their invaluable experience with the students of the school. The main purpose of such meetings is to help future substitute parents to adopt knowledge and experience.

Another myth about foster and guardian families: in order to become a foster parent, you must be married. It is worth noting here that if a single person sincerely wants to accept a child into the family, then no one will interfere with this.

“One person may well become a substitute parent, we have many families to accompany us, and Oksana is a great example of this,” says Ksenia Lovyagina.

The main goal of the Foster Parent School is to help candidates for foster parents understand their motives, personal abilities and psychological readiness to receive a child. It is very important for the school to give the knowledge necessary for the successful mutual adaptation of the family and the child. Specialists at all stages provide comprehensive support to candidates and already established foster families.

Students of the “School of Foster Parents” are provided with information and methodological materials on all topics. At the end of the course, they are interviewed and receive a certificate.

Graduates of the “School of Foster Parents” / group of the Tagilstroy Center for Social Services on VKontakte

Since the beginning of 2022, 18 people have passed and graduated from the “School of Foster Parents” in the Tagilstroy District. Nine graduates have already adopted children into their families. About 200 families are registered in the center, in which more than 300 children are brought up.

Specialists of the Foster Families Support Department continue to work with the family even after graduation, providing social and legal, social and pedagogical, social and psychological services.

“We provide any psychological assistance free of charge. We go home, always help both parents and children. All families that are assigned to our site are always in close contact with us. We provide support 24/7. And in our center from October of this year, the “Foster Parent Academy” will begin its work. This is a new project, intended for successful substitute parents who, after adopting a child into a family, faced various psychological and pedagogical difficulties ,” says Ksenia.

For wards and their parents, specialists from the complex center for social services of the Tagilstroevsky district organize leisure activities: they hold interesting and educational competitions, master classes, hikes, trips, concerts. Families gather in the center to talk, discuss pressing problems and questions.

“Our wards have long become one big friendly family. And we hope that even more people will want to come to the “School of foster parents” of the complex center for social services for the population of the Tagilstroevsky district in order to start their successful path as a substitute parent!” – concludes the specialist of the school Ksenia Lovyagina.

Even by today’s relativistic standards, my family was far below the poverty line during all my years of childhood and adolescence.

All my childhood , while my fathers told my friends the fairy tales of the Brothers Grim, my father told me stories about very humble heroes with unshakable dreams who managed to work miracles.

All my childhood , while my friends’ dads would tell them Grimm’s fairy tales, my father would tell me stories about very unassuming heroes with unshakeable utopias who managed to make miracles.

All my childhood my father took out his anger on me.

My whole life, my father abused me.

My whole childhood was like this.”

My whole childhood was like that.’

All my childhood my mother spent in prison, and my father was not around – until the sixth grade I didn’t even know his name.

So throughout my childhood , my mother was incarcerated and I didn’t have my father because I didn’t even learn his first name until I was in the sixth grade.

Up to thirty years, all my childhood and youth, I was constantly cold – constantly cold.

Up to the age of thirty, my whole childhood and youth, I always felt cold always cold.

Therefore, I spent my entire childhood among the Xhosa, Zulu and other representatives of various ethnic groups and cultures.

So my whole childhood , I was raised with Xhosas and Zulus and South Sothos and all different cultures.

New program to cut child care costs for military families coming to more states

A program aimed at reducing child care costs and providing options for military parents is coming to more states.

The Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood-Plus program will expand to the Miami-Dade County area in September, to Texas in October and to Colorado in November, said Gilbert Cisneros, Jr., undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness.

The program, which began in 2019 in Maryland and Virginia, expanded to Nevada in September 2021, and to Washington state in February.

“We’ll continue our concerted effort to educate states on what Military Child Care In Your Neighborhood-Plus can do and encourage their participation, especially in those states where our military families are stationed,” Cisneros said during the Military Child Education Coalition’s Global Summit Wednesday. “We are looking forward to more states joining us in the coming days.”

He said DoD officials are in discussions with officials in California, North Carolina and additional counties in Florida.

“It’s certainly no secret that in certain regions and installations around the country we have challenges in meeting the child care needs of some military parents, especially those who would prefer to get their children into child development centers where they know their children will receive expert care and wonderful developmental and early educational support,” he said.

The Military Child Care In Your Neighborhood-Plus initiative started in October 2019 as a two-year pilot program limited to Maryland and five regions of Virginia.

The current long-standing military fee assistance programs offset the cost of child care in the civilian community when child care isn’t available on the installation. It helps those in locations with long waiting lists for child care, as well as those in assignments that aren’t near a military installation.

The program is meant to bring parents’ child care costs in the community more in line with what they would pay for on-base child care. Child care fees on military installations are based on total family income, and the cost of child care is subsidized by DoD.

The ongoing military fee assistance programs pay the subsidy to nationally-accredited child care providers in the community as the first choice.

The difference in the MCCYN-Plus program is that it pays the subsidy to providers in locations where nationally accredited care isn’t available, to help include more centers and family child care providers. However, if they aren’t nationally accredited, the child care providers must participate in that state’s quality improvement program. That’s over and above required state licensing.

As Cisneros noted, the child care providers have to meet DoD’s “standards for quality, and ensure our military children are cared for in safe and supportive environments.”

The fee assistance subsidy for community-based child care is the difference between what the service member would pay for child care in DoD programs, and the community-based child care provider’s rate, up to a provider rate cap for full-time care.

In 2022, the monthly fee assistance provider rate cap is $1,500 per child per month. In fiscal 2023, all of the military service branches plan to increase the monthly provider rate cap to $1,700 per child per month.

The fee assistance programs can make a substantial difference for families.

For example, if a family is in category 5, making between $60,001 to $70,000 a year in total family income, their monthly fee would be $516 for full-time DoD child care. If their approved community child care provider charges more — up to $1,500 a month — the parent would pay $516, and the rest is subsidized by the military service branch in payments to the provider.

The MCCYN-Plus program means more child care centers and family child care providers could participate in the fee assistance program.

In Virginia, for example, MCCYN-Plus meant a possible expansion to more than 800 additional eligible child care centers in regions with military presence. In Maryland, there are more than 4,600 child care programs that can participate.

The fee assistance programs are administered by Child Care Aware, which also helps families find accredited community based child care providers as the first choice. The child care providers in the MCCYN-Plus program who have a quality level of three or higher in their state’s quality improvement program are made available to families as an alternative.

Who is Eligible for Military Child Care?

Overview

There are three factors that determine who may receive military child care services and when they may access care: basic eligibility, priority, and participant age. These factors are described in detail below.

A child must be a dependent of an eligible sponsor in order to enroll in any military child care program. The sponsor is a person with DoD-affiliation (e.g., Active Duty military, DoD Civilian). The sponsor’s DoD-affiliated status makes his/her dependent children eligible for military child care services.

Basic Eligibility: Eligible Sponsors and Qualifying Children

ELIGIBLE SPONSORS

Eligible sponsors include:

  • Child Development Program Staff
  • Active Duty Combat-Related Wounded Warrior. Service members designated as combat-related wounded warrior in an Active Duty status require hospitalization, extensive rehabilitation, or significant care from a spouse or care provider and require full-time child care. This designation requires installation commander approval (this authority cannot be delegated).
  • Active Duty Military/Active Duty Coast Guard Personnel
  • Guard/Reserve on Active Duty or Inactive Duty Training Status
  • DoD/Coast Guard Civilian
  • Gold Star Spouse (Combat-Related). A Gold Star Spouse is the surviving spouse of a service member killed in a combat-related incident.
  • DoD Contractor
  • Deactivated Guard/Reserve Personnel
  • Other Federal Employee
  • Military Retiree

QUALIFYING CHILDREN

An eligible sponsor may only enroll a qualifying dependent in military child care. A qualifying child is defined as someone between birth and the age of 12 who has one of the following relationships with the eligible sponsor:

  • A dependent or secondary dependent child who lives with the sponsor
  • Any other child for whom the sponsor has legal guardianship and resides with the sponsor
  • A foster child who lives with the sponsor
  • A child who is living with a person acting “in loco parentis” on behalf of the child’s eligible sponsor, who must leave the area temporarily to fulfill a military obligation. An “in loco parentis” relationship is one in which a person takes on the role of a lawful parent by assuming the obligations and discharging the duties of a parent without formally becoming an adoptive parent or legal guardian. In these cases, the child must reside with and be supported by this person while their eligible sponsor is absent. A special power of attorney to act “in loco parentis” is required to be on file.

ELIGIBILITY FOR 24/7 CENTER CARE

24/7 Centers are designed to meet the needs of military watch standers and shift workers, and military personnel who are called for duty during non-traditional work hours (e.g., nights, weekends, Federal holidays, etc.). 24/7 Centers must first serve sponsors for whom 24/7 care was specifically designed, including:

  • Shift workers: Shift workers are sponsors or spouses whose regular work schedule occurs outside of standard business hours such as weekends, evenings, or overnight shifts. Examples of shift work schedules include the following: a sponsor who works 2300–0700 Monday through Friday (overnight shift), a sponsor who works a rotating shift with two day shifts (0700–1530) and two afternoon/evening shifts (1500–2300) followed by three days off.
  • Watch standers: Watch standers are those whose work schedules occasionally require child care outside of standard CYP operating hours. An example of a watch stander is a sponsor who is required to “stand duty” on an intermittent basis (e.g., twice a week for three months).

As such, 24/7 Centers must offer care to the first eligible family in sequence order whose work schedule meets the program’s available vacancy.

See Placement Activities for detailed instructions on the offer process for 24/7 care offered by 24/7 Centers.

Priority

The purpose of military child care is to support the mission of the DoD by serving DoD-affiliated families so that they may fulfill their military or DoD-related duties. Per DoDI 6060.02, military child care programs must serve the highest priority DoD families first to ensure the most mission-critical families receive access to military child care. DoD has assigned priorities to each military family type (defined below) to ensure that programs meet this requirement.

Military family type is the eligibility categorization for military child care that is comprised of the following elements:

  1. Sponsor type (e.g., Active Duty Military, DoD Civilian, etc.), and
  2. Spouse status (e.g., working spouse, student spouse, spouse seeking employment, non-working spouse), if applicable.

Families select their sponsor type and spouse status when they create an MCC household profile and update it, as needed, when there are changes to their sponsor type, marital status, or spouse status. MCC uses this information to create a military family type for the household that automatically ties to the appropriate DoD-assigned priority.

For a complete list of all priorities, refer to the see the Military Family Type tip sheet.

WAITLIST SEQUENCE

To help programs meet the DoD requirement to serve the most mission-critical families first, MCC generates an automated waitlist sequence for each request for care submitted. MCC uses the following aspects of a request to calculate waitlist sequence:

  • DoD Priority Assigned to the Family’s Military Family Type
  • RFC Date: The date the family placed their child on a program’s waitlist (i.e., the date a family submitted a request for care).

With few exceptions, program users must make offers for care in order of waitlist sequence. During the offer process, once you describe your program’s available space in MCC, the system generates a Make Offer/Request Interview screen that displays all requests that qualify for the space in order by waitlist sequence.

Since MCC uses military family type in its sequence calculation, a change in military family type could affect a request’s waitlist sequence.

NOTE: Since military family type is tied to DoD-determined priority for care, program users must verify a family’s sponsor type and spouse status before they may enroll a child in a military child care program to ensure the family has been prioritized correctly and offered care in the correct waitlist sequence. If the program user finds that the family’s sponsor type and/or spouse status was incorrect, and it affects the request’s waitlist sequence once the program corrects it in MCC (i.e., the family’s request is no longer first in sequence), the program user must withdraw the offer and offer care to the next request in sequence on the waitlist. See Manage Enrollment for instructions on what actions to take in MCC if the family’s military family type is incorrect.

SPACE AVAILABLE

Although eligible for military child care, families with DoD contractors, Other Federal Employees, or Military Retirees (including retired Wounded Warriors) as sponsor types, as well as any military family type with a non-working spouse may only access military child care on a space available basis, after all families with higher priority on the waitlist have been served.

WAITLIST EXCEPTIONS

MCC accommodates waitlist exceptions including (a) priority exceptions that modify waitlist sequencing; (b) family type exceptions that grant eligibility to otherwise ineligible families; and (c) locally managed exceptions that allow installations to authorize out of sequence offers based on local priorities.

To add a waitlist exception to MCC, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) or memorandum of agreement (MOA) must be submitted by the Service Representative. At a minimum, the MOU/MOA must contain the following:

  • Installation(s) where the waitlist exception exists
  • Description of family type and/or affiliation for which the exception exists
  • Priority to which the family should be assigned, including spouse status (e.g., working spouse, spouse seeking employment, student spouse, spouse not working), if applicable to exception
  • Relevant program type(s) (e.g., CDC, FCC, SAC)
  • Expiration of MOA/MOU

Service Representatives should contact the Program Support Desk to request the creation of a waitlist exception in MCC and provide Support Desk staff with a copy of the MOU or MOA.

SUPPLANTING POLICY

Priorities are used for more than just placement from the waitlist; they also inform which families can be supplanted. To improve military members’ access to child care, the Office of the Secretary of Defense directed changes to policy that include supplanting lower priority patrons when necessary. Under the new policy, lower priority families enrolled at a facility-based program may receive written notification that their child will be disenrolled in 45 days to accommodate a higher priority family. If supplanted, families can reapply for care.

What family types can and cannot be supplanted?

Family types that cannot be supplanted include:

  • Child Development Program Direct Care Staff
  • Active Duty Combat-Related Wounded Warriors
  • Single/Dual Active Duty Military/Coast Guard
  • Single/Dual Guard/Reserve on Active Duty or Inactive Duty Training Status
  • Active Duty Military/Coast Guard with Full-Time Working Spouse
  • Guard/Reserve on Active Duty or Inactive Duty Training Status with Full-Time Working Spouse

Family types that may be supplanted include:

  • Active Duty Military/Active Duty Coast Guard with a part-time working spouse, a spouse seeking employment, a student spouse, or a non-working spouse
  • Guard/Reserve on Active Duty or Inactive Duty Training Status with a part-time working spouse, a spouse seeking employment, a student spouse, or a non-working spouse
  • DoD/Coast Guard Civilians
  • DoD Contractors
  • Other eligible patrons (Deactivated Guard/Reserve Personnel, Other Federal Employees, and Military Retirees)

Caring for Children and Retaining Families: The Gaps in Military Childcare

In 1989, the Military Child Care Act (MCCA) codified the military childcare system that exists today. This legislation was a direct response to sweeping failures across military installations that resulted in unsafe childcare facilities. The MCCA established $157 million in childcare funding (the equivalent of $356 million today), minimum safety and accreditation standards for military childcare centers, background checks for staff, and a standardized priority and fee structure. Over thirty years later, the military’s childcare system is considered a gold standard. It is safe, highly regulated, and affordable—but only if you can gain access. Military childcare is touted as a benefit for service members, but at most installations, small capacity and staffing shortages mean this benefit is fairly limited. As one Army officer with a physician spouse stated, “It’s not much of a benefit when there is no chance my child will get care.”

Childcare Needs

Since MCCA’s passage, military demographics have changed drastically. Since 1985, the number of active duty single parents in the military has increased by 67 percent, and the number of active duty dual-military families has more than doubled. In 2018, 37 percent of military families had at least one dependent child under the age of eighteen. Of those children, about 405,000 are under five years old. The proportion of female service members has more than doubled since the 1980s, and 33 percent of female service members report that childcare is their top concern. Mid-careerists are more likely to have children under five years old—childcare aged—than they were thirty years ago. Nearly one-third of military spouses who want to work report they can’t find childcare. National employment trends, along with evidence from Blue Star Families, indicate that up to 60 percent of those spouses either are employed or desire to work outside the home. Put it all together, and the demand for childcare is high.

In 2019, approximately two hundred thousand children were enrolled in some form of military childcare, including full-time childcare and school-age centers’ after-school programs for children ages six through twelve. But there were over eighteen thousand children on the wait lists, and nearly 75 percent of them were less than four years old. DoD uses a metric called the demand accommodation rate to measure childcare success, which represents “the percentage of child care needs met through military child care programs . . . and partnerships with local care providers. ” Consistently, this number hovers around 78 percent—meaning that 22 percent of military families who need childcare can’t access it. This figure is consistent with Blue Star Families’ 2020 Military Family Lifestyle Comprehensive Report, which showed that 23 percent of active duty families who have a childcare need were unable to find childcare.

When announcing updates to the Army’s parenthood, pregnancy, and postpartum-centric policies in April 2022, Chief of Staff of the Army General James McConville made it clear: “We recruit soldiers, but we retain families.” Simultaneously, one in five service members report they would consider leaving active duty service due to spousal employment issues. Investing in the military childcare system is perhaps one of the fastest and most impactful things the Department of Defense can do to improve retention.

Military childcare is a true capacity and accessibility issue being felt across the Army. At Fort Myer, Virginia, one dual-military couple was recently informed there were forty-one other dual-military and single-soldier families ahead of them on the wait list for a handful of infant care spots. At Fort Wainwright, Alaska, the Child and Youth Services director estimates that dual-military and single-soldier families will wait about twelve months from the date they require childcare before being offered a slot at the child development center (CDC). At Fort Bliss, Texas, a dual-military family got placement at the CDC only after the mother had to bring her infant twins to work with her. Her brigade commander intervened and secured childcare at the CDC. Her experience is reflective of many others: when CDCs are inaccessible, there are often no reasonable or affordable options.

For military families, this has been a significant source of stress. The mental and emotional labor of securing childcare at a new duty station is already high. Thanks to COVID-19, about 9 percent of the nation’s center-based childcare capacity and 10 percent of the nation’s in-home daycare capacity was lost due to permanent closures. As a result, wait lists at surviving facilities grew. Furthermore, many childcare providers raised fees significantly to make up for lost revenue and cover increased expenses.

Military families typically receive permanent change of station orders about one to six months before a move. By the time they’ve identified their new duty stations, it’s often already too late to find childcare. Military families are going to extraordinary measures to circumnavigate the system and secure childcare. In the autumn of 2021, one military spouse put her child on the wait list for every CDC at every base they might get orders to—for their move in summer 2023. Higher-income families may be able to absorb higher costs by using expensive centers, Montessori schools, and au pair or nanny services. Lower-income families—typically junior enlisted families—are being placed in even more difficult situations as those options may not be financially feasible. This is especially concerning, as 29 percent of junior enlisted families also reported food insecurity. These families often need a second income to achieve economic stability but face an uphill battle to secure childcare.

Recent updates to childcare policy, including 2020’s updated childcare priority levels, fail to address capacity issues. Instead, policies like these shift the burden from one family type to another. Current plans, like the one briefed by Acting Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy, and Environment J.E. “Jack” Surash to Congress in May 2021, cite a ten-year, construction-heavy plan that will bring CDC capacity nearly to the level it requires today. While important to improve physical capacity, building for today’s numbers over the next ten years fails to solve current problems.

Solving Military Childcare Gaps

The civilian sector has seen significant shifts in the labor market due to COVID-19, including a mass exodus of women in the workforce. To attract and retain quality talent, the military needs to ensure the military childcare system can meets its goal of “reduc[ing] the conflict between mission requirements and parental responsibilities,” as opposed to creating conflict and stress for families.

First, we need to provide a clear, predicable system that gives military families realistic expectations. The current system, and arguably the current marketing, do not give military families accurate and useful projections on childcare availability. The wait list is a black box algorithm. Inputs include factors such as family status and priority level, time on the wait list, child’s age, and requested care date—but no one can explain to families how they are prioritized and offered childcare spots. DoD’s official childcare website offers an estimated placement date. However, those placement dates are not precise (for example, “May to June 2022,” as opposed to a specific date), and are known for being incredibly inaccurate. Families often show up to a duty station expecting childcare, only to learn they were “bumped” back on the wait list and now have an indefinite wait.

DoD needs to adopt a more transparent way to manage wait lists. Families do not know where they fall on the wait list unless the installation’s Child and Youth Services (CYS) staff chooses to disclose that information. Further, CYS staff is not required to offer care to prospective families until six weeks after the date of requested care. Families are left in the dark, or at the mercy of CYS administration.

Using historical data and family information can create a more reliable model that predicts an individualized probability of receiving childcare at a given duty station. This would give families the necessary information to make informed decisions about housing, spousal employment, schools, and finding alternate childcare. A family that is told it has a 95 percent chance of receiving childcare by its requested date would make different choices than a family with a 20 percent chance. Providing a probability, as well as an exact location on the wait list, and making that information visible to families would be far more useful than the current date range. Families would be able to get real-time, accurate information to make informed decisions about work and childcare.

Second, we need to pay our childcare providers an adequate salary. This change has the potential to have an immediate impact on childcare capacity across DoD. Many installations, including those tagged for construction of new childcare facilities, are not using all the classrooms in current facilities due to staffing shortages. While staffing data is not publicly available, anecdotal evidence from military families across the country shows that many CDCs are understaffed. Increased staffing would immediately result in increased capacity, and likely remove a significant number of children from the wait lists. Adequate staffing not only increases CDC capacity, but also improves the quality of life for current staff. Better work conditions, including a higher wage, can contribute to higher job satisfaction and retention. Higher retention reduces turbulence for our military children, and allows CDC administrators to invest time in training and mentoring current staff, which can also help reduce turnover.

The physical, mental, and emotional investment of childcare workers needs to be met with adequate pay. The hourly rate for entry-level military childcare direct-care staff starts at $13.73 per hour, or $28,558.40 annually (before taxes, assuming a forty-hour work week). At mid-levels, it’s just $15.02 to16.86 per hour ($31,241.60 to $35,068.80 annually). In some high-cost areas, the pay is adjusted—but not very much. For example, the starting rate at CDCs around Washington, DC is $15.68. This is a 14 percent increase in taxable base pay, which is inadequate in a market where a service member’s tax-free basic allowance for housing (BAH) is double the base rate.

Low pay limits the pool of potentially qualified candidates from which military CDCs can draw. More notably, there is a good chance that a universal pre-K (which would not necessarily substitute for childcare for full-time working parents) could exacerbate staffing shortages across the United States. If DoD doesn’t get ahead of this issue, it could face even more severe staffing shortages in the next decade.

There are several ways DoD could support increased caregiver salaries. For example, fee charts could be expanded to better capture high-income families. The current fee system allows lower-income families to access care at a lower monthly cost. However, families in lower income brackets pay a higher percentage of household income. For example, a family earning between $30,001 and $40,000 pays up to almost 12 percent of household income for childcare for one child, versus less than 7 percent for those earning over $140,000 per year. A family of dual-military O-3s earns about $163,000 annually, while dual-military O-4s earn about $190,000. At that income level, a family is paying around 5 percent of annual income for childcare. The current fee system grossly under-charges higher-income families, often at the expense of junior enlisted soldiers.

I created a simple Monte Carlo simulation using the current fee chart and an income-revised fee chart. A Monte Carlo simulation is a mathematical technique that allows for simulation of an uncertain event. It provides a range of possible outcomes. In this case, the uncertain event was the fee level at which the patron paid. I modeled the fee level uniformly—meaning each fee level was equally likely to occur. Then, I simulated a CDC with ninety-one children enrolled, and allocated twenty-four direct-care staff to meet ratio guidelines based on various age groups. I ran two simulations: one with the current fee chart, and one with an updated fee chart that captured families earning up to $190,000 per year. After one thousand iterations each, the revised fee chart model resulted in a 14.5 percent increase in gross revenue. In my hypothetical scenario, this generates enough revenue to pay direct-care staff an extra $278 (low end) to $314 (high end) per month. Restructuring the fees charts to be more equitable and capture high-earning families could go a long way in funding increases in direct-care worker salaries.

Third, it’s time to cut the red tape from the Child Care Aware (CCA) military fee assistance programs. These programs exist to subsidize childcare for families who cannot obtain CDC spots, either due to a lack of space in CDCs or due to being stationed in a location where CDC care is not available. CCA fee assistance is the approved alternative when CDCs cannot meet demand but presents significant barriers for families. When my family lived in Boston without military bases nearby, we navigated the Army’s fee assistance program. It required a mountain of paperwork from both us and the daycare upfront; it took months to process; and the CCA program failed to provide status updates. Not only was the process cumbersome and bureaucratic, but the fee assistance we received seemed to fluctuate month to month.

The CCA fee assistance also fails to adjust for location. Patrons in low-cost areas are allocated the same amount of fee assistance as those in high-cost areas. A family at a low-cost duty station—such as Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri—could use CCA fee assistance for off-base care and pay the same rate as that of a military CDC. However, in a high-cost area like the National Capital Region, families pay two to three times as much for off-base care as they do at military CDCs. DoD adjusts BAH based on cost of living and provides a cost of living allowance (COLA) to offset increased costs of goods and services in high-cost areas. For the CCA system to be more equitable, the fee assistance rate needs to adjust in tandem with COLA and BAH.

The military can make significant strides in improving childcare access by creating a transparent wait list system, increasing and retaining staff through better pay, and overhauling the fee assistance program. As the authors of a Joint Force Quarterly article explained, “The implications for readiness suggest that the United States cannot afford to under-invest in childcare.” The military childcare landscape could dramatically change for the better—especially in high-cost, high-demand regions. Improving childcare access is one of the lowest-cost, but most impactful, things we can do for our military personnel and their families, and to improve military readiness and retain soldiers.

Gazprombank improved mortgage terms – News from ERZ.RF

In the new issue of the project “ALL ABOUT CONSTRUCTION”, developers discussed the modernization of the construction industry. Experts reported what has changed as part of the introduction of new digital products and what IT solutions will be relevant in the near future.

On October 4, the next online round table of the project “ALL ABOUT CONSTRUCTION” was held, where experts discussed the topic: “Modernization of the construction industry.” The main questions of the air:

whether developers are abandoning digitalization in the face of constant challenges and uncertainty;

what will be new at the construction site in the next 2-3 years;

what developers are reorienting their product to now;

cases of optimization and modernization of developers.

Participants of the round table:

Andrey Erlikh , Finance and Investment Director of IYNO;

Konstantin Bulinsky , IT director of Talan company;

Alexander Filippov , executive director of the First Trust Group of Companies;

Mikhail Besfamilny , director and owner of Orso Group.

The broadcast was conducted by the director of the project Svetlana Opryshko (pictured).

Ether partner: IYNO (platform for construction management based on reliable BIM data). The project “ALL ABOUT CONSTRUCTION” is implemented with the support of the Ministry of Construction of Russia, the National Association of Builders (NOSTROY), NOTIM and VEB.RF. Information partners of the project: portal ERZ.RF, Stroitelnaya Gazeta, news agency Construction Business, Digital Construction publication.

While most Russian IT companies concentrate on the domestic market, IYNO has big plans for cooperation with foreign partners. Andrey Erlikh shared the details (pictured).

“The international agenda has remained in our company’s strategy, and we are actively looking to the East, namely the Middle East and North Africa regions,” he said. “We believe that the main driving force will be concentrated there, both from developers and property buyers.

The expert voiced a number of forecasts regarding transformational changes in the market.

“Due to the mobilization and migration consequences at the construction site, labor productivity will fall,” he noted. “Due to increased competition, customization of the final product will become an advantage in the fight for the client.”

Erlich believes that the White Box will be replaced by the Build-to-suit design, which involves the sale of a finished object, but not a standard solution, but a custom one, where the buyer changes the project for himself.

Another expert’s prediction is that working with data is a prerequisite for a developer’s survival in a changing market.

“Because we will be in conditions of uncertainty for a long time, making decisions based on experience and intuition becomes more and more difficult,” Erlich emphasized. “In order to make these decisions, you need to learn how to work with data, analyze and interpret it.”

Thus, the information received by developers from BI systems will help the management to calculate the risks and take the right steps to maintain and develop the business.

As part of his presentation, the expert demonstrated the reports that IYNO software generates for first-level managers. One of these reports is the manager’s dashboard, where you can see the current key indicators, collisions, summary information, as well as technical data for all sections of the project documentation.

Talan has already implemented a BI system in its company. Konstantin Bulinsky (pictured) told how software has affected business.

“When we started implementing the BI system, we not only learned how to work with data, but also put things in order in the primary sources where this data is generated,” he explained. “Due to the implementation, we began to take a balanced approach to numbers and order in business processes.”

Answering a question about the general level of digitalization of the industry, Bulinsky warned his colleagues against a chaotic approach to this process.

“Many developers, at the very least, need to move from spreadsheets in Excel to normal budgeting to see construction costs,” he said. — Only then can we talk about drones, TIM and other technologies — 99% of developers do not need it yet.”

The main recommendation of the expert is to implement basic functionality, clean up business processes and create a common data environment.

According to Bulinsky, it will be quite difficult to assess the economic effect of the introduction of digital tools.

“The fact is that there are a lot of unknown factors,” he said. “For example, how much time employees have saved, how many people are not hired due to digitalization, how much faster the right decisions have become made and how much money this will save us in the future.”

Due to uncertainty and constant change, many developers are delaying the start of digital projects. However, the First Trust Group of Companies does not deviate from the planned course and implements all the planned initiatives – Alexander Filippov (pictured) reported this.

“We are not adjusting our program yet and are moving forward within the framework of what we planned to digitize,” the expert said. “Now we are working on MDM systems so that all the company’s data from design decisions to the last write-off are completely online and are automatically distributed on the shelves.”

The developer is also preparing to introduce laser scanning on objects – the company’s IT team is looking for a solution that will fit into the existing architecture of the developer.

Filippov explained how digitalization helps developers in the current realities.

“IT solutions are about getting the data you need quickly, quickly analyzing and making quick management decisions,” he said. “Companies that have achieved certain results in the IT field are better prepared for a rapidly changing world and new challenges.”

Orso Group does not plan to introduce new technologies at the construction site in the near future – this was announced by Mikhail Besfamilny (pictured).

“As for the general order processes, we are not launching anything new, and due to constant changes, there is no particular desire yet,” he explained.

The expert also told how the events of September affected the company’s sales.

“As part of the entire volume of sales, about 20% of transactions “flew” with us,” said Besfamilny. “At the same time, some customers even registered a contract, but abandoned the purchase at the last moment due to general uncertainty.”

At the same time, the developer did not suspend activities on new projects – Orso Group recently acquired several new plots for the construction of a residential complex.

Women as a catalyst for economic growth. Turning an idea into reality

In April, Prime Minister Abe Shinzo announced an economic development strategy based on a more active role for working women. Labor expert and former commercial director of Shiseido Iwata Kimie discusses the three points of Abe’s plan and offers his own recipe for change in the Japanese economy.

Prime Minister Abe Shinzo made increasing the number of women in the labor force the cornerstone of his economic development strategy and a key element of the “three arrows of economic policy” known as Abenomics. This focus on working women is unprecedented in the Japanese government, and I sincerely welcome this innovation. So, how is Abe going to achieve his goal? 19On April 2013, the Prime Minister met with members of the press and the business community to unveil three initiatives to increase the role of women in the economically active population: addressing the shortage of child care facilities, increasing parental leave to three years, and setting a goal to use at least one a woman in a leadership position in every company.

I tried to think about the advantages and disadvantages of the government’s plan.

The main priority is kindergartens

The biggest problem that hinders the work of women and needs to be addressed immediately is the lack of state-subsidized pre-school institutions. The Prime Minister has set a goal of creating 400,000 additional places for children to eliminate the long queues for kindergarten that Japanese families constantly face. But 400,000 is clearly not enough to solve the problem, given that the Cabinet Secretariat estimated a gap between the provision of kindergartens and the potential demand for their services at 850,000 places a few years ago.

I note that just three years ago Yokohama had more children waiting for kindergarten than any other municipality in Japan. However, by the spring of this year, the queues were completely eliminated, thanks to the efforts of the local administration. If other large city governments follow Yokohama’s example and make increasing the role of women in the working population a top priority, the government’s goal could be achieved in as little as three years rather than five years (the time frame given by the government for the target).

So, the figure of 400 thousand and a period of 5 years will not satisfy the need for kindergartens, it is necessary to eliminate the critical shortage of places as soon as possible.

A Real Look at Parental Leave

Speaking to business leaders last April, Abe called on corporations to voluntarily extend parental leave to three years instead of the 12 months (maximum 18 months) required by law. Certainly, any changes that will empower women to choose the right time for them to return to work should be welcomed, especially given the current shortage of kindergartens. Three-year-old children are usually easier to arrange in the garden, more free places are provided for them. Having the opportunity to extend maternity leave to three years, no doubt, will have a positive effect on the woman’s mental balance. On the other hand, promoting three years of maternity leave as the norm could have the opposite, counter-productive effect of increasing women’s participation in the country’s workforce.

One of the problems with long maternity leave is its impact on a woman’s future career. The question is not only whether a woman will be able to return to the workplace after a long break, but also whether she will be able to continue her career with the possibility of promotion through the ranks. In the business world, allowing several years of leave is generally considered to be detrimental to an employee’s prospects. Retraining programs, if companies are willing to provide them, can only help get workers back on track and make up for lost time. Even at companies that still offer up to three years of maternity leave, very few women take it all the way; most return to work within a year out of legitimate concern for their future.

Another problem is the role of the father. Most young Japanese fathers today say they would like to be more involved in helping their wife during pregnancy, but few feel confident enough to take the parental leave they are legally entitled to. Instead of encouraging men to take advantage of such a position, Abe’s plan seems to take a reverse view of the problem, in which a woman stays at home and devotes herself entirely to raising children. Undoubtedly, this picture is caused by Prime Minister Abe’s recent slogan “3 years with a child.”

The best way to inspire women to become a full part of the economically active population is not to promote three-year child care, but to make kindergartens more equipped and accessible, especially for children under two years of age, for whom kindergartens are the least available.

Such measures will enable women to return to work as soon as they wish to do so. The government should focus on creating such conditions as soon as possible.

It’s time for action

The third idea of ​​administration for realizing the potential of women is quite straightforward and clear: at least one woman in a managerial position in every company. If companies make it their goal to appoint a woman to the board of directors, they will be able to better manage female employees in general, and the percentage of female managers will naturally increase.

27 years after the Equal Employment Opportunity Law went into effect, women still hold less than 10% of management positions throughout Japan. Even if companies provide equal opportunity under the law, women’s status at work is still incomparable to that of men. If we are not willing to wait forever to close the issue of gender inequality, we need more than legal guarantees of equal opportunity. To accelerate progress, we need special measures to actively promote gender equality among the economically active population.

I believe that companies need to become more active in order to overcome entrenched discrimination against women. This means working towards the quantitative indicators that should be set by each company according to its situation, such as the ratio of women hired and their percentage in management and director positions. To achieve these goals, companies will naturally need to offer flexible employment arrangements for working parents. In addition, businesses will need to provide both active career support through tailor-made courses, a fair evaluation system, and role models, i. e. women with experience in training female workers.

So, I urge the government to take the next step towards gender equality by requiring every company to have a clear action plan first.

Overhauling Japan’s work ethic

Prime Minister Abe’s plan lacks one more element needed to achieve the goal of increasing women’s employment – a radical change in the attitude towards women on the part of company employees in Japan. In Japan’s corporate culture, line workers tend to work long after the end of the day. They agree to be transferred to remote areas without question. This style of work is possible for a man whose wife is a housewife, but it is hardly practical for a woman with children. Not surprisingly, the majority of new mothers who do return to work are unable to maintain the work practices required of full-time employees and end up on the “mom career path.” By full participation, we mean something very different.

In order to increase the number of working women with children, including increasing their participation in middle and senior management, we must change the expectations of workers in Japan and create a style of work in which overwork is a forced exception, not the norm. Implementing such changes at the individual workplace level will be up to each company’s executives, but the government, for its part, can speed up the process through policy measures such as increasing overtime pay in the bylaws.

As readers can infer from the foregoing, Japanese society has a lot of work to do to achieve the full inclusion of women that Prime Minister Abe has placed at the heart of his economic development strategy. But not all of the problems I have pointed out can be resolved immediately.

In conclusion, I would like to reiterate what I think are two main priorities that the Japanese government needs to focus on first. This is a solution to the problem of shortage of kindergartens and an end to the practice of overtime work. I am sure that with the solution of these two problems, the role of women in the country’s economy will change dramatically.

Co-authored with Helen Hester is a book on social reproduction and post-work politics, After Work: The Politics of Free Time (Verso, 2018).

While a lot of attention has been focused on the crisis of work and the potential threats and opportunities posed by growing automation, much less attention has been paid specifically to the labor of caring. The article explores changes in the organization of social reproduction in high income societies and outlines the emerging crisis of care caused by the diminishing role of the state, stagnant wages, and an aging population. The article then sets out a post-labor vision of caring work that serves as a response to this crisis.

In recent years, the “crisis of work” has been surrounded by a lot of discussion. Both journalists and scientists have pointed to disturbing trends in the labor market. It is becoming increasingly clear that high-income countries are facing a decline in “good jobs” and an increase in low-wage, casual, precarious employment. Over the past 40 years, we have seen a sharp increase in economic inequality. Fewer people are employed in medium-paid jobs (which are often outsourced to parts of the world with low labor costs), the gap between the poor and the rich is growing, while the number of the former is constantly increasing, and the number of the latter is decreasing. Since the 2008 crisis, high-income countries have experienced high unemployment rates and a very slow recovery in employment growth. Now a new wave of technology threatens to automate a wide range of existing jobs, pushing even more people into unemployment and underemployment in the future. The result is a growing surplus of population that lacks both the means to survive outside of capitalism and the jobs to survive within it. This fact clearly causes serious concern, as can be seen from the many reports from think tanks, international symposiums and cross-party studies of the future of work.

While it is encouraging that these issues are becoming culturally visible and embedded on the political agenda, at the same time, this analysis of the work landscape tends to downplay the problem. A narrow understanding of work comes to the fore, and other activities (both paid and unpaid) are not taken into account in the discussion about the crisis and its possible solutions. Analysts too often fail to understand the systemic and complex nature of our current problems—the crisis of “work” is also a crisis of “at home” and vice versa. In this chapter, we will attempt to develop a deeper understanding of the current challenges facing working in high-income countries and suggest possible solutions to these challenges. To do this, we will focus on a complex, evolving, cross-border concept – care. Starting with the concept of social reproduction and an analysis of its role in modern work cultures, we will move on to the increasing importance of care for the countries of the Global North in the 21st century. In particular, following the latest trends and possible trajectories of the economy, we argue that care needs to be concretized and separated from the umbrella concept of service work (and service-based economies) and argue that the care economy is about to become dominant in high-income societies. . In conclusion, we will offer several possible solutions to help deal with the growing care crisis.

Three areas of reproductive labor

“Social reproduction” or “reproductive labor” are terms that define the activities of educating future workers, restoring the working capacity of the current workforce and caring for those who cannot work, that is, a set of tasks that together support and reproducing lives both daily and generationally.

Social reproduction in a broad sense consists in the direct care of oneself and others (care for children, the elderly, healthcare), the organization of physical space and the management of resources as part of the process of indirect care for oneself and others (shopping, cleaning, repair) and the reproduction of species (carrying children). Reproduction, in short, is the day-to-day tasks of both one’s own survival and the survival of others, traditionally performed by women for little or no pay. These forms of work are also often excluded from modern discussions about work. Being essentially the support and reproduction of workers, reproductive labor must be considered as the basis of global capitalism. As a theoretical framework, the analysis of social reproduction insists that the historically gendered labor of care is linked to the imperatives of capitalism in complex and intimate ways.

Traditionally, social reproduction has been positioned as a link between the reproductive (at home) and productive (at the workplace) spheres. The reproductive sphere was understood as a set of specific activities undertaken to reproduce the masculinized wage worker: cooking, cleaning, caring for children, etc. The productive sphere, on the contrary, represented the types of activities that produce goods and services: welding, programming, sewing, etc. Still, a distinction based solely on specific activities is not enough, given that the same activities can be assigned to different areas depending on the social context. A mother driving her children to school occupies a different structural position in capitalism compared to a nanny driving other people’s children to school, despite the fact that outwardly their actions are hardly distinguishable.

How then to distinguish between production and social reproduction? How do we understand the structural relationship between capitalism as a process of accumulation and social reproduction as a process of reproduction of wage earners? In answering these questions, we will build on the work of the Endnotes team, distinguishing between fields based on their position in relation to the market and capital accumulation. Perhaps the most significant difference lies in whether the market directly or indirectly controls one or another area. Activities directly controlled by the market (including domestic labor or the activity of reproducing labor in exchange for wages) are subject to capital accumulation imperatives: the compulsion to increase both the efficiency of the work process and the efficiency of converting an input into an end product, united by the premise that the activity must bring income. And everything is subject to the requirement that these types of activities also bring profit. The market has a direct impact on the organization and implementation of activities.

Goods and services produced by a too slow labor process will be too expensive compared to competitors’ goods and services and will eventually be squeezed out of the market. But over activities that are indirectly regulated by the market, market logic and the imperative of capital accumulation do not prevail to such an extent. However, this area is not completely excluded from the above market logic; due to the time spent on unpaid reproductive labor, there is less and less time for wage work. Therefore, the imperatives of wage work can influence other activities, albeit indirectly. The organization of activities under indirect market control is also determined by such things as patriarchy, gender-based violence and, in the best situations, cooperation.

Essentially the support and reproduction of workers, reproductive labor must be seen as the foundation of global capitalism.

It is important to note, however, that a direct or indirect form of market control cannot by itself explain the dynamics of social reproduction in contemporary work cultures. As noted in the Endnotes, we must also consider the distinction between paid and unpaid work, a distinction that does not fit in with the categorical division between direct and indirect market control.

Public service is a key example: nurses in the British National Health Service (NHS) perform social reproduction tasks, receive wages, but are not directly linked to the logic of capital accumulation. Their work is the direct transformation of value into capital, formed from social service taxes and wages. We are definitely talking about an area outside the direct market logic (which is therefore under indirect market control), but which also relies on wage work (as opposed to the activities we do for our families or with which we keep our own homes in order).

In light of this, Endnotes concludes that there are three areas: direct market control, paid indirect market control, and unpaid indirect market control. We will designate these three spheres of social reproduction as the three Ps: privatized reproductive labor (direct market control), public (paid indirect market control) or personal (unpaid indirect market control). Such categories run the risk of blurring further divisions, such as between the formal and informal labor markets, and hence further clarification of the text of the chapter will be required from time to time.

However, using this terminological framework, we hope that a wider range of reproductive labor will be taken into account and included in the analysis of the future of work. After all, the current crisis will affect more than one area or form of work.

Reproductive labor in crisis

Since the middle of the 20th century, there has been a dramatic shift in the organization of social reproduction in high-income societies. Keynesian capitalism was characterized by the predominance of the heterosexual nuclear family (rather as a desirable ideal than an objective reality) and the family wage as the norm. Under this model, round-the-clock reproductive labor was expected from a financially dependent wife. Most liberal and corporatist welfare states had little support for reproductive labor at the time and, as a result, tended to be heavily dependent on the traditional family structure.

Only social democratic regimes began to engage in social reproduction, using the taxation of social surplus as a way to move some elements of reproductive labor into the public sphere. This included the partial nationalization of non-tradable services such as education and childcare, a move that helped bring more women into the labor force (although it should be noted that many working-class women—particularly non-whites—have long been forced into wage labor outside the home. ). However, even social democratic states were heavily dependent on the devalued domestic labor of women – something that feminists of the period sought to draw attention to.

From 1970 onwards, this approach to social reproduction was significantly transformed under neoliberal capitalism. The inspiring family wage rate has in most cases disappeared from this system and has become available only to a privileged minority. In many high-income societies, real wages have fallen (indeed, as far as wage growth is concerned, the UK is experiencing its worst decade since the Napoleonic Wars). Changes like these will inevitably entail the need to spend more time at work to provide for oneself, support the household, and provide ongoing financial support to addicts.

In addition, we have seen how the state has drastically hit social reproduction by leaving reproductive labor unsupported and at the same time forcing the unpaid workers who normally do it into the labor market. The result was a crisis of care that engulfed both public and private reproductive labor. People turned out to be unable to support dependent loved ones themselves (due to the exhaustion of financial, emotional, mental and / or temporal resources), or to receive adequate support from the state.

The answer has been—for those who can afford it—a shift to market-driven exchange. A growing share of domestic labor is bought directly as goods and services and indirectly through privatized reproductive labor. Some elements of social reproduction are increasingly being delegated to the hyper-exploited class of cleaners, nannies, care workers (women themselves often become links in the global chain of care exploitation).

The result is a dual approach to social reproduction where the rich can afford the services of private individuals and the low-income people increasingly provide these services. In the absence of adequate social security, social reproduction finds itself in a privatized or private sphere, acquiring a deep connection with economic inequality. While the complex job crisis we have described is clearly a mass problem, its effects vary by race, gender, and class. Poor women are (usually) the brunt of these changes.

In short, a significant part of the activity of social reproduction was privatized and then rooted in the personal sphere (which it never completely left) as a result of the rollback of the provision of social forms of reproductive labor. We see a growing need for support due to the fact that more and more people need to work longer hours to survive, and also due to an increase in personal expenses for this support, since social reproduction is regulated more by the market than by the state.

In addition, the supply of reproductive labor is often quite volatile, given the high turnover of staff, the inevitable result of care workers facing disastrous wages, job insecurity, poor conditions, and often their own complex care responsibilities. Caring is a job (whether privatized, public or private) and plays a key role in the complex and systemic issues of the moment. This role becomes clear when we begin to explore the implications of reproductive labor for today’s high-income economies. As we shall see, they will be dominated by care, maintenance and reproduction work, both in terms of employment and in terms of GDP – two limited, conditional, but culturally marked means of assessing social significance and value.

Toward the economics of caring

Generally, when people think about the economy, they imagine a factory—maybe a car factory—and then construct their everyday understanding around that image. Or perhaps after the era of deindustrialization, people are increasingly imagining a service economy and an office worker at a computer. However, services are a broad and disparate category, including a banker who earns millions in investment deals, a teacher who works long hours, a hairdresser who barely makes ends meet, and an immigrant janitor who earns a tiny amount from a few jobs.

Certainly the service sector is a category so clumsy that it loses its descriptive function, but it may be better to analyze the economy as a spectrum of different services rather than as an unbroken chain of sectors. Having done this, we will see that a significant and growing proportion of welfare economies are oriented towards and centered around reproductive labor. Take, for example, healthcare; it is a large and growing sector in the wage labor market.

In the US, the health care share is a whopping 17.8% of GDP, while in Western Europe it is still an astounding 10.4% on average. Also, healthcare spending has outpaced inflation in high-income economies, causing more and more personal funds to be spent on these services. Interestingly, this is also typical for developing economies: between 19Health care spending in China increased 50-fold between 80 and 2005 and is projected to increase another 20-fold by 2050. It is worth noting that healthcare is also a significant source of jobs, both in the public and private sectors. Thus, the UK National Health Service is one of the largest employers in the world; as of 2017, about 1.9 million people worked there (directly and indirectly). It is important to note that these numbers will only grow. Reviewing the US government’s projections for job growth by 2024, one journalist recently noted that “9 of the 12 fastest growing graphs are different job titles for ‘nursing’.” Thus, the healthcare sector is huge both in terms of employment and in terms of its share of GDP.

Child care is also a significant and growing share in the private sector of the economy, due in part to the crisis of social reproduction described in the previous chapter. Although childcare is often carried out in the personal, informal and unpaid (usually by parents or extended family members), there is an increasing share of formal (day care, preschool) and informal (babysitting) paid work. A similar trend is observed in education and social care (here it refers to palliative care, home care, assisted living for the elderly and provision of personal care).

If we calculate the expenditures for each of these areas – excluding some aspects such as laundry, cleaning, sex work and home repairs, for which there is little or no data – we will see that social reproduction occupies a large part of the developed capitalist economics. As shown in Figure 1, spending by wealthy G7 countries ranges from 15% of Italy’s GDP to nearly 25% of America’s. Simply put, social reproduction is a large and growing sector of the market.

Perhaps the clearest realization that care is increasingly dominating our economy comes when we consider social reproduction work in health care, education, food processing, housing, and social work in the context of what percentage it is of the total number of paid workers. Over the past 50 years, their role has increased dramatically. A growing percentage of the population earns a living through social reproduction—as Figure 2 shows, it is currently between 23% and 28% of the labor force. On the contrary, at 1960th in America, 30% of the labor force was employed in the manufacturing sector.

If we once spoke of large-scale industries, today we must speak in terms of economies centralized around the reproduction of their workers. In addition, as evidenced by data on expanding sectors of the American labor market in the period 2014-2024, these trends will continue. Data analysis shows that the vast majority of these growing sectors (including the top four) are jobs related to paid social reproduction. You can find similar data for the UK, where we estimate that 47% of total job growth will take place in social reproduction sectors. This data suggests that we are seeing a rise in the care economy.

Resolving the crisis

What to do in this case? If social reproduction is increasingly in crisis—demand for services rises as unpaid workers enter the labor market, paid workers face extremely low wages and appalling working conditions, and governments cut public provision—then how, without aggravating existing hierarchies of class, race and gender can this reproduction be supported? One of the theorists who has paid much attention to this issue is Nancy Fraser, who proposes three ideal type models to solve these problems. In each of the models, care is organized differently and has a different impact on ideas of gender justice and equality.

Fraser calls the first model the “universal breadwinner model” , and perhaps the closest approach to the implementation of this model came in European countries with a high level of female participation in the labor market (although ideologically the closest is in the United States). With this approach, the total family wage of the post-war era is replaced by the fact that each individual supports itself with the help of wage labor. However, this approach requires proper government support, as families need appropriate social conditions to enable them to enter the labor market without harming children and other dependents. Such conditions may include, for example, full parental leave, state-subsidized childcare, and/or tax credits that allow families to offset expensive private childcare. The absence of such conditions puts severe restrictions on equal participation in paid work (as, for example, in the United States since 2000), and the absence of paid parental leave leads to the stagnation of women’s participation in the labor force.

This model also requires care workers to be paid in a way that guarantees a decent standard of living. As is usually the case, all too often care workers are left in poverty and face long hours in a desperate effort to make ends meet. In general, the “universal breadwinner model” can reduce poverty, but only by making everyone work longer and idealizing the “male” world of wage labor as the only respectable option.

The second approach is the “equal care model” in which the current unpaid informal work done mainly by women is, on the contrary, highly valued and properly supported. This model does not involve sending these workers to the formal labor market, but recognizing the value of both activities and facilitating any transitions between the privatized and personal spheres. For this to be possible, it is necessary to provide state support for individual work on social reproduction. It may include, for example, benefits for care workers, which will not only legitimize this type of activity, but also help pay for the care of children and the sick. Support could also include the emergence of both part-time jobs and flexible work arrangements for caregivers, as well as legal provisions against discrimination based on the possibility of pregnancy.

As Fraser points out, while the first model aims to push social reproduction entirely into the market-mediated realm, this model attempts to push it into the state-supported private realm. However, again, this model runs the risk of restricting women to the home and does not include measures to reduce the amount of work they do.

The last approach that Fraser discusses is the “universal guardian model” . Instead of making women more like men (by attracting them to the labor market) or leaving women and men in segregated areas (supporting only domestic work), this approach invites men to take on more work in the traditional female field. As men take over some of the work of social reproduction done at home, the burden of labor will be more evenly distributed and gender hierarchies in the economy will be loosened.

In such a world, what is considered a characteristic rhythm of women’s lives – the transition between paid and unpaid work – will become the norm that determines social policy. States will seek to introduce measures that allow easy movement between the two states indicated above, for example, the elimination of fines in the workplace for part-time jobs and flexible hours, the introduction of state or community child care systems in which every member of the community could participate .

The advantage of this model is a significant reduction in the gender nature of the current division of labor and a parallel reduction in part of the overall workload. But is this enough?

We believe that a more appropriate approach, which is consistent with the growing changes in automation and the growing demand for labor care, would be what we call the post-labor model . This approach explicitly aims to reduce work and our dependence on wage labor (it is worth recalling that in ancient times, work as we know it today was seen as “wage slavery” – because of its ability to make a person dependent on the employer for their own survival) . Most post-labor models of the future are presented to us as a world in which robots take over factories, and sometimes even offices. But the world of care work, oddly enough, falls out of these imaginary utopias. However, the post-labor response to the crisis of care argues that post-labor principles can be applied to both paid and unpaid work. This approach has at least three key goals.

First, we must not dismiss the potential of automation. Opening up to automate some types of reproductive labor is a refusal to naturalize that labor—in other words, dismissing it as if it were not work at all but an expression of a (gendered) self or a personal pastime. And although the robotization of social reproduction should not be thoughtlessly praised, the critical technopolitics of the home and other spaces of social reproduction can provide a real improvement in the quality of such labor.

Are there problems that technology could solve without negatively impacting these spaces? Home technology has not had much practical success; While few of us would be willing to give up our washing machines, it is clear that most of the gadgets that find their way into our homes are completely unnecessary and a by-product of the commodification of our lifestyle – brilliant, but often highly specialized and not particularly easy machines (spiral graters , drinks freezers, etc. e).

The tech home concept needs to be actively rethought and the tech design culture actively challenged

However, we must remember that we have yet to get the home appliance we truly deserve. As Judy Weitzman notes, most home gadgets came to us retrospectively: they were originally conceived for military or industrial use – for example, a microwave oven and a washing machine, a vacuum cleaner and a refrigerator. These technologies have been transferred to our private homes from the public sphere. She writes: “Given that many home technologies come from a variety of backgrounds and are not originally designed to save time in the household, it is not surprising that their impact on domestic work has been mixed.”

In summary, using the “home” metaphor, we should not splash water with the baby: the concept of the tech home should be actively rethought and the culture of tech design actively challenged. Home automation can be seen as an ally in the search for temporary autonomy – although this is obviously not possible without a much broader program of progressive political change. We also need to think about what technologies we want to include in the home automation area. How about assistive technology? Will we think differently about caregiver robots than assistive walking and weight lifting devices? Where do these different kinds of feelings come from, and how many of them can arise from ignorance of the moral value of the labor of caring – a moral value that, by the way, has been associated from the very beginning with ideas about the gendered / biased private sphere? Do we consider a mobile phone, a home computer, a bicycle, or a birth control pill as a household appliance?

What we’re trying to get across here is that instead of ignoring home automation in all its forms, we should promote clearer criteria for it—those that take into account the nuances of specific technologies, issues of accessibility, ownership, and design, and how ideas genders and jobs are embedded in the affects we associate with technology.

The second goal is that we must lower our living standards. Some ideas associated with post-labor society suggest that reproductive labor is a source of inexhaustible personal satisfaction when workers are not interested in lowering their own expectations. Indeed, it is interesting to note how often high (i.e., extremely labor-intensive) domestic standards are mentioned in so-called post-work theories.

The German Krisis Group says the labor involved in “cooking delicious food” will never be eradicated; leftist anti-labor theorist André Gortz talks about “taking care of the house and decorating it, preparing good food, entertaining guests”, etc. While cooking, providing hospitality, etc. can be a source of great pleasure for many (if it happens on its own initiative), placing these things at the center of an imagined future social order allows the concept of work to present itself to us in a hitherto unknown form.

For those of us who want to manage our time in other ways than cooking, cleaning and caring, it would be better to come down from heaven to earth and think less about the heights of domestic splendor that we all aspire to and more about how change and make available social welfare standards such as cleanliness.

The work of feminists such as Ellen Lupton, Ruth Schwartz Cowan, and Judy Weitzman taught us that one of the reasons time spent on housework did not decrease after the spread of household appliances in the twentieth century was that that as labor-saving devices became more common, labor standards shot up. Cleaning was supposed to be more thorough and more frequent; that educational activities that needed to be done with children would be more frequent and focused on giving them a competitive advantage; cooking is more complex and labor-intensive; lawns will be flawless, without weeds and with perfectly even stripes.

Again, while this activity should not be excluded from those who enjoy it, repressive social expectations should not be allowed to affect reproductive labor. We must continue to build activism around gender and work under temporary sovereignty—the ability to manage our time as we please.

Finally, we must rethink the conditions of life. How to structure “family life” differently? How can this affect changes in the structure of wage work, as well as contribute to the spread of post-labor ideas to the seemingly inviolable space of the home?

Moving away from one dwelling per family—perhaps for groups of 10-12 instead of 1-4—could mean a more sustainable and energy-efficient lifestyle, as well as reduced labor costs for basic maintenance. Shared kitchens, laundries, and workshops can reduce labor. The fact that the resources of a shared household are used by more people than in a typical home may mean that there are opportunities for greater investment in tools and technologies, including those needed to keep clean.

Reimagining housing space can go beyond simple relief; it can also be positive developments, such as high-tech public libraries, studios, media packages, laboratories, vegetable gardens, and mutual medical institutions. What would a house organized differently be like?

The current household (usually in the form of the nuclear family – in popular culture, if not in reality) arose largely from changes in working relationships. Expectations about what a “family” is really play a decisive role in determining factors such as wages, working hours and public services. The official poverty line in the United States was set on the basis that every household must have a housewife who acts as a smart home manager, makes careful purchases, cooks skillfully and does it at home. The reality is that many households have never had access to that fantastic resource of social reproduction, the full-time economist, because the cost of living is actually much higher.

We must rethink the conditions of life. How to structure “family life” differently?

Leaving aside the essentialist discourses about “the private sphere” and “family”, it becomes painfully obvious how unsatisfactory the home is as a place of work and how many domestic workers would benefit from resistance or agitation against this type of work. Viewing the home from this angle also encourages us to recognize where and how spatial patterns and work methods can contribute to the visibility and appreciation of reproductive labor and how rarely attempts are made to solve the problem of hard domestic work. The presentation of various forms of social relations based on the domestic sphere is also very encouraging. those of us who may be suffering from strained, unhappy, or even abusive relationships in our blood families. This problem is much more typical for queer people. If we imagine households outside the family category, we must imagine the formation of independent groups living together – a mixture of relatives, friends, comrades, lovers. These new kinds of families may be based on intimacy, affection, and a shared world view, rather than something as fragile as mere genetic coincidence.

And what is the result? If we understand that something can and should be done to mitigate the effects of current structures of oppression, does it make sense to link our struggle against gender oppression (including unequal distribution of free time and heavy domestic work) with the struggle against work?

Indeed, in many ways, a queer struggle is required – a struggle against the myth of essential “female” or “male” traits and the single binary gender system that shapes the division of labor; a struggle that is based on the understanding that efforts to redistribute work—to create a more egalitarian division of labor and opportunity—will inevitably be limited until our ideas about gender are discarded.

What Is an Average Goldman Sachs Salary?

Goldman Sachs (GS) has always paid its employees well. The average Goldman Sachs employee made $404,000 in 2021. However, it is important to remember that high-level executive compensation is included in these numbers, and is not an accurate depiction of the non-executive compensation.

In recent years, Goldman Sachs has been boosting salaries in order to draw talent away from tech and other start-up sectors. In 2021, a first-year analyst at GS starts at $110,000, which is a nearly 30 percent increase from the prior starting salary of $85,000. Second-year analysts receive a boost from $95,000 to $125,000, and first-year associates saw a jump from $125,000 to $150,000.

Since the firm’s reported headcount includes temporary staff and consultants, who will typically not earn a full annual salary, full-time compensation for many Goldman Sachs employees may be markedly higher than the average while for others, it will be much lower.

Key Takeaways

  • Goldman Sachs raised their salary considerably in 2021 due to both revenue increases and inflation considerations.
  • Goldman Sachs pays well even at the bottom of the pyramid, with summer interns making 50 percent more than the median household income in New York City.
  • Investment banking as a whole is feeling the brain drain as top-level employees move to tech and have been increasing their compensation packages in order to retain talent.

Understanding Salary at Goldman Sachs

Investment banking salaries are largely dependent on performance and experience, with bankers higher in the ranks earning more than those earlier in their careers. Those who deliver consistently superior results will be handsomely rewarded. While it is common for analysts to make over $100,000 per year at investment banks, managing directors earn much more, sometimes over $20 million.

Goldman bankers based in the New York City area are doing much better than most New Yorkers. In New York City, median household incomes were $63,998 in 2019 (when the Census Bureau last updated).

While banker salaries were a hot topic during the 2007/2008 Global Financial Crisis, the issue has become less prevalent in recent years. As more investors learn to use tools at their disposal such as robo-advisors or simply making their own investments from home, investment banks are less of a topic of conversation.

What Is the Average Salary of a Goldman Sachs Employee?

Before answering, it is important to remember that the average salary of a Goldman Sachs employee is not the average salary of an average employee. The massive benefit packages given to executives and top earners are factored into the lofty $404,000 average compensation. The enormous take-home pay of executives lifts this number considerably.

How Much Does a Goldman Sachs Internship Pay?

A Goldman Sachs internship salary will vary largely based on the location of the office and the division. Interns are paid an annual rate which is prorated against their total time spent there, which is often in the summer to accommodate university scheduling and runs eight to ten weeks. The salary is less than first-year analysts and is typically between $85,000 and $100,000.

Do Goldman Sachs Employees Make More of Less Than the Industry Average?

It isn’t possible to provide an apples-to-apples comparison of industry salaries. Due to there being so many division within investment banking, you cannot really compare what an analyst makes versus a risk manager. However, the nature of investment banking is meritocratic so in order to retain top talent, banks must remain competitive in their compensation packages.
