Iridiy Mikhailovich the Tire Swan

This swan is called Iridiy Mikhailovich Gruzd. In his past, he was the left front tire of the Niva (Russian car) for twenty years. Iridiy Mikhailovich traveled a lot around the country. He saw almost everything. And he can speak about his journey forever. He knows and remembers that it used to be much better in the past. But because of his age, he was laid off. And now he stands at the house on Sovetskaya Street 15b. Iridiy Mikhailovich observes people and considers Vasya to be a drug addict, Petia gambler, and Oleg just miserable. (Although he is wrong, Vasya is just weird and drinks and Oleg moved out three years ago). He has one friend, it is Iraida Petrovna. She is a very proud lady, part of the neighbors watch, and a big poster on nextdoor. Every spring she paints his beak. And she washes away the traces of interest from the yard cat Barsik and the dog Doshirak. So it is the way the days, months, and years of Iridiy Mikhailovich and his friends and foes pass.
