In 1930, the day off because of Easter was moved from Sunday to Thursday, so that the holiday became a working day. When this practice did not take root, the townspeople began to be expelled to the Lenin Subbotniks, Sundays and mass marches with stuffed priests, which were then burned. To this day, according to Olesya Stasyuk, antiphasal lectures were timed: the children were told that Easter festivities are fruitful drunkards and hooliganism. Collective farm teams tried to send to work far away in the field, and children were taken to field trips, for ignoring which parents were summoned to school.

And in the village of his son, the priest Anatoly Polegenko in Cherkaskin, not one vespers did not do without a musical background. In the center of the village the temple was adjacent to the club, and as soon as the parishioners went out with the procession of the cross, lively music rattled on the dances louder than before; went back - the sound was muffled. "It came to pass that before Easter and a week after the parents of eggs in the house did not hold at all - neither raw, nor cooked, nor white, nor red," says Polegenko. - Before the war, my father was forced to go away in the field and singing Easter songs in solitude.
