It is no secret that Turkey is one of the main tourist centers in the world. Getting there on vacation is sometimes even cheaper than going to a domestic resort, while the service there is many times better.
In any case, the vacation ends, and tourists try to take a piece of Turkey with them in the form of goods and souvenirs. Alas, few people think about what is worth taking from this country, and what is better "to leave where it was."
Nice gift for yourself and your loved ones
First of all, almost every tourist will bring delicacies from Turkey. Sweets from this country are truly beautiful, and at the same time they can be stored for a long time. They also bring fruit with them.
Another great "trophy" will be Turkish textiles. It's not a sin to buy bed linen or a couple of bathrobes. They also buy luxurious Turkish shawls.
One of the most win-win options will be local tea and spices. There are tourists who take out such purchases literally with whole bags, and then enjoy delicious tea and fragrant food for more than one year.
Tobacco connoisseurs can purchase a hookah and various varieties of tobacco relatively cheaply. By the way, tobacco will not cause any problems at customs.
What not to take away from Turkey
Many people want to keep a small souvenir that is easy to fit in their pocket and which can be easily put on a shelf. Most often, these are shells and pebbles from the beach, or even some finds from old ruins. It would seem a trifle, but such a souvenir can bring a lot of problems. Imagine how shocked you will be when you are fined at customs for an ordinary stone!
The thing is that all souvenirs that are taken abroad must be accompanied by a check, otherwise it will be regarded as theft. So if you really liked some striped pebble on the beach or a shell, then, after admiring them, if you please, put them in their place.
Often carpets and skullcaps are brought from Turkey. Only now all this, as a rule, gathers dust in a closet or on a balcony. A carpet bought in the heat of excitement most often does not even fit into the overall interior of the apartment, and you are unlikely to ever wear a skullcap.
FHR First Vice President:
“Only positive memories remained about Sergey Nailievich. We worked together, interacted on the national team. He was a man who devoted himself completely to his work. We even played together. Everywhere Sergey Nailevich showed himself with the best side. This is a big loss for hockey. He did a great job on television, commented on matches, helped in every possible way. It is a pity that such a person is no longer with us.
Forward "Washington" and the Russian national team Alexander Ovechkin:
"Everlasting memory…"
FHR President:
“We played together for CSKA for many years. He was a devoted comrade. Sergei was a wonderful defender, he did a lot to educate the younger generation. Then he became a brilliant commentator and specialist in the field of hockey. He clearly defined the course of our hockey, sometimes criticized, spoke about unpleasant moments, but he always loved hockey and wanted this sport to go forward in our country.An extraordinary person. This is a big loss for hockey. Just recently, we lost the legendary Petrov, today - another professional in his field. A sad day for Russian hockey.
Lately Sergei has really become the voice of our hockey. He was a leading specialist who was listened to even more than others. He went through all hockey school, his ratings and comments were invaluable."KHL President:
“The sudden death of Sergei Gimaev was a real shock for all of us. Undoubtedly, Sergey Nailevich was one of the most respected and recognizable people in our hockey. Thanks to the highest professionalism and a subtle understanding of hockey, he is like no other in the world. last years contributed to the popularization of his favorite game, in which he lived and completed such a bright and eventful life. I am sure that millions of fans all over Russia will remember him with gratitude and very soon feel the irreparability of this loss.”
“I will always stand for Mozyakin and Radulov!” Vivid statements by Gimaev
On March 18, the honored coach of Russia Sergey Gimaev, who had worked on Russian TV for a long time, passed away. Let's take a look at his best quotes.
Head coach Russian national team and SKA Oleg Znarok:
“It's hard for me to say anything. good hockey player and a great professional. It's a pity, of course. We were on very good terms with him. And he helped me, and the team helped a lot. We consulted both on the compositions and on the players. He said things that not many would say. It's very hard, of course."Honored Master of Sports, KHL TV expert Alexander Guskov:
“He was a professional in everything from his career as a player, continuing his career as a coach and ending with the work of an expert. He was not just in the Legends Club. Many listened to his opinion. I would say that - this is the personification of the expert of our hockey. The man who said everything he thought. He was sick of hockey, loved it, played it all his life and practically spent his last minutes life. Blessed memory of a man who achieved a lot and did a lot for hockey. Sergei Nailievich held many master classes around the country, contributed to the popularization of hockey in all regions. In all corners of the country he was loved and will always be loved. He was a cheerful and optimistic person, he was always positive, he tried to pass it on to other people.”Forward of SKA and the Russian national team Pavel Datsyuk:
“Eternal memory, Sergei Nailievich. A MAN who devoted his whole life to hockey! My condolences!"double Olympic champion Vyacheslav Bykov:
“Very unexpected and terrible news. He was in perfect health. We played together in CSKA, he was a selfless defender who gave himself completely to hockey. He showed himself the same way, being in the commentator's room. Thanks to Sergey, many fans began to love hockey. Very sad. I express my condolences to friends, relatives of Sergei Gimaev and the entire hockey community. Just recently, the “soldier” Vladimir Petrov passed away, now CSKA has lost another one.Neftekhimik head coach Andrei Nazarov:
“I express my sincere condolences on my own behalf and on behalf of all hockey club"Neftekhimik". I personally knew Sergei Gimaev, his son and family. We were on good terms. I would like to raise the issue of mandatory medical examinations before matches of veterans. Everything should be the same as in a regular professional match: medical indications, health status, total control by doctors.
Probably, it is necessary to revise the regulations of veteran tournaments, to reduce the time of periods. We do not want such tragedies to be repeated. It's very sad."R-Sport correspondent Alexander Rogulev:
“Sergei Nailievich was a unique person. Among journalists, he had no equal in knowledge of hockey, and he could tell about it in an accessible language so that both specialists and amateurs understood. He was common man. In 2013, I came to the Ice Hockey World Championship for the first time, and it was Gimaev who spoke to me first in the press center, although we had not met before. He and I began to discuss the chances of the Russian team in the quarterfinals with the Americans. It was a revelation for me that the country's chief expert talks with a simple correspondent on an equal footing. It was Sergei Nailevich who spoke about hockey the way it should be done. I don’t know when someone even slightly like Gimaev will appear.”Editor text broadcasts"Championship", hockey observer Pavel Panyshev:
“The death of Gimaev is tantamount to the death of Maslachenko. Two blocks - hockey and football - gave joy to millions of fans. We often talked with Gimaev - more on work, hockey issues. I knew him quite well, but not as closely as, for example, Dima Fedorov, Denis Kazansky or Roma Skvortsov, with whom he was on friendly terms. Gimaev was always tough, demanding, strict. He worked himself and demanded work from others. understood that his opinion hockey world means a lot, and therefore he could be offended if, from his words, something was not written the way he wanted. Gimaev is an epoch-making personality for Russian hockey and the commentator's shop. He was rightfully considered the country's leading hockey expert. With the death of Gimaev, our entire sport has lost a lot.”Pittsburgh Pittsburgh and Russian national team forward Evgeni Malkin:
“I don't believe it. Everlasting memory"Columnist "Championship" Dmitry Yerykalov:
“For the first time, I, a very young correspondent from Novosibirsk, met Nailich in 2014 at the Challenge Cup. We sat with our Moscow colleagues in a Nizhny Novgorod hotel, and Gimaev gave an interview to a local TV channel. Then he comes up to us, holds out his hand to me and says: “Dim, hello! How are you? How did you get there?" For me, looking at this block from the bottom up, it was a confession: “How? Does Gimaev know me?!” In fact, this is how he behaved with everyone - a journalist in front of him, a governor or a simple fan, he devoted time to everyone and could chat excitedly, as if you were old friends.
Once I came under the hand of Nailich when he criticized my question to Bilyaletdinov about boring hockey on the air. Anyone could be offended, but not him. So hockey players have always listened to the Russian Don Cherry. It seems that only his word had real weight. Even when Gimaev raised his voice and seethed with emotions, you understood that he did not want to offend or offend anyone. Nailich, as all hockey Russia called him, even at the age of 62 could talk about hockey with boyish interest and enthusiasm. It didn't fade until the very end. There is no other like it."Browser " Soviet sports» Pavel Lysenkov:
“I can’t believe that Sergei Nailievich is no more. That's impossible. I'm already used to the fact that I'll come to the press center, and there - Gimaev. And then you start talking to him, one after another. And the hour would stand like that! It’s inconvenient to detain a person, but Nailich himself drops everything and tells you, explains ...This is a trait of big, generous people. After all, everyone loved him. Even those on whom Gimaev drove through the word like a tank. Then he left and apologized. And I was worried about what was said, which flew out like a sparrow ... Like that 4-0 forecast for CSKA in the series with Magnitogorsk. Then in Magnitogorsk they grumbled at Nailich, reminded him. But they were still treated like family.
I remember how Gimaev was removed from the air of another "Russia 2". I called him for a comment. And he somehow casually told me that he had received a red card. I didn't believe it at first. But gave the news to the Internet. And you remember, then the whole country stood up for Gimaev! And the phrase about the "woman from the Pit" went into folklore.
Gimaev was defended, returned ... He was a people's man - like Vysotsky, Cherenkov, Maslachenko. There are very few such people. And it's a pain that they leave. Terrible pain."
Soviet Sport columnist Vladislav Domrachev:
“I met him when I worked for the weekly All Hockey. It was before the 2004 World Cup, then I started using Sergey Nailievich as an expert. He worked in the management of the CSKA sports school. A year later, I went to work at Soviet Sport, and we began close cooperation in this newspaper. Later, Nailic left CSKA and became a purely creative person. dedicated himself expert opinion, commenting. He was touchy, but easy-going. He always defended his opinion, he could argue. Absolutely not harmful, very sociable, friendly. Funny".

An excerpt characterizing Gimaev, Sergey Nailievich
“No, not yet,” I replied. And she told him in detail the incident at the rink.“Okay, let’s try it,” the doctor said. “But if it hurts, you can’t tell me about it anymore, understand? So raise your hand right away if you feel any pain, all right? I nodded.
To be honest, I was absolutely not sure why I was starting all this. And also, I wasn’t completely sure whether I could really cope with this, and whether I would have to bitterly regret this whole crazy story. I saw the doctor preparing an anesthetic injection and placing the syringe on the table next to him.
- This is in case of an unexpected failure, - he smiled warmly, - Well, let's go?
For a second, this whole idea seemed wild to me, and suddenly I really wanted to be the same as everyone else - a normal, obedient nine-year-old girl who closes her eyes, simply because she is very scared. But I was really scared… but since it was not my habit to retreat, I proudly nodded and prepared to watch. Only many years later, I realized what this dear doctor really risked ... And yet, for me, the “secret behind seven seals” forever remained why he did it. But at the time it all seemed perfectly normal and, frankly, I didn't have time to wonder.
The operation began, and somehow I immediately calmed down - as if from somewhere I knew that everything would be fine. Now I could no longer remember all the details, but I remember very well how I was shocked by the sight of the “thing” that had mercilessly tormented me and my mother for so many years after every slightest overheating or cold ... It turned out to be two gray, terribly wrinkled lumps of some kind matter that didn't even look like normal human flesh! Probably, seeing such a “muck”, my eyes became like spoons, because the doctor laughed and said cheerfully:
- As you can see, something beautiful is not always removed from us!
A few minutes later, the operation was completed and I could not believe that everything was over. My brave doctor smiled sweetly as he wiped his sweaty face. For some reason, he looked like a “squeezed lemon” ... Apparently, my strange experiment cost him not so easy.
“Well, hero, does it still hurt?” He asked looking into my eyes.
“Just a little ticklish,” I replied, which was sincere and absolutely true.
A very upset mother was waiting for us in the corridor. It turned out that at work she had unforeseen problems and, no matter how she asked, the authorities did not want to let her go. I immediately tried to calm her down, but, of course, I had to tell the doctor about everything, since it was still a little difficult for me to talk. After these two remarkable cases, the “self-pain effect” completely disappeared from me and never appeared again.
As far as I can remember, I have always been attracted to people by the thirst for life and the ability to find joy even in the most hopeless or sad life situations. To put it simply - I have always loved "strong spirit" people. A real example of "survival" at that time for me was our young neighbor - Leokadiya. My impressionable childish soul was struck by her courage and her truly indestructible desire to live. Leocadia was my bright idol and the highest example of how high a person is able to rise above any physical ailment, preventing this ailment from destroying either his personality or his life ...
Some diseases are curable and it just takes patience to wait for it to finally happen. Her illness was with her for the rest of her life and there was no hope of ever becoming a normal person this courageous young woman, unfortunately, did not have.
Fate-mockery treated her very cruelly. When Leocadia was still a very small, but absolutely normal girl, she was “lucky” to fall down the stone steps very unfortunately and severely injure her spine and sternum. Doctors at first were not even sure if she would ever be able to walk. But, after some time, this strong, cheerful girl still managed, thanks to her determination and perseverance, to get up from the hospital bed and slowly but surely begin to take her “first steps” again ...
Everything seems to have ended well. But, after some time, to everyone's horror, a huge, absolutely terrible hump began to grow in front and behind her, which later literally disfigured her body beyond recognition ... And, what was most offensive - nature, as if mocking, rewarded this a blue-eyed girl with an amazingly beautiful, bright and refined face, thereby, as if wanting to show what a marvelous beauty she could be if such a cruel fate had not been prepared for her ...
"Did they take him to the hospital?" - “No, he died in the locker room ...” How Sergey Gimaev left
His friend and colleague Dmitry Fedorov tells about the last hours of Sergey Gimaev's life.His friend and colleague Dmitry Fedorov tells about the last hours of Sergey Gimaev's life.
Do you understand what is going on here...
I'm talking to Dmitry Fedorov, who is in charge of hockey broadcasts on Match TV and KHL TV. A close person and colleague for Sergei Gimaev. It is very painful and difficult to speak, but I ask the question:
- How did it happen, Dima?
- In Tula, the match "Hockey Legends" was held. During the game, Sergei Nailevich became ill.
He didn't fall, he just felt unwell. I went to the nurse, and together they went to the locker room. Nobody worried. Now Gimaev will be helped. Maybe the pressure has gone up.
After the game, no one is allowed into the locker room: “Resuscitation is working there.” And then they said that's it. Sergei Nailevich is lying dead there.
Nobody could believe it at all. Denis Kazansky told me about this. I call Sasha Guskov back: “Did they take him to the hospital?”
No, not to the hospital. Died in the dressing room.
- "Wait, did they say that's all?"
I asked him ten times on the phone. - "Dim, what are you ... Yes, that's it, he died."
Maybe he complained about some kind of ailment before the game?
No, he didn’t complain about anything, - says Sasha Guskov. - Everything was fine. For everyone, this is a shock. I am now out on the track. I'm driving and I don't understand what's going on. Just like that - and there is no person.
- When I talked with Sergei Nailievich in the summer, he said that he had gone to a military hospital. But he didn't give details. Heart?
- Yes, in August he went to the operation. I have no right to say what was there - I promised. But not the heart. And not what leads to lethal outcome.
Let's find out the medical report. However, Sergei Nailevich is not exactly complaining. But somehow he mentioned that he was tired of frequent flights. He flew to Vladivostok ...
- The other day I called Gimaev for an interview. He picked up the phone the third time: “I'm actually in the Arctic. But let's talk."
- Not exactly a complaint. But this comment was a couple of weeks ago. Like, the head is cloudy.
But no one even thought! I often saw Gimaev in Lately. Cheerful, smiling. He usually said if something was wrong and he felt bad. He was the only one who told me about the operation ... He did not complain, no.
- Was he in all plans, was he ready to work to the fullest?
- Yes. Moreover, he has already taken care of the World Cup. He said that if no one goes, and the question is open, he is ready to work in the studio on full program.
After all, when people feel bad, what do they say? "I'll see how I feel." There was nothing of the kind here. Maybe he confessed something to his family? At work, Gimaev was full of life plans.
- Words cannot describe what this loss means for Match TV ...
- I was supposed to work tomorrow. Was on the air. If you didn’t feel well, probably, you wouldn’t go to the match in Tula? Would have called us: "Don't put it guys, replace it."
We always replaced, if there was such a request. There was a special relationship with Sergei Nailievich, this is understandable.
They were waiting for him in the "Igroteka" ... And now everyone has an incredible state. When I was informed, I did not know for an hour what to do and what to do. We need to talk about it on the air, but I don't know how to say it. Whom to order?
We already knew everything about what had happened at the first break. But they couldn't say. Only in the second. How to approach this?
Now there was a special issue on Match TV. We wrote some text together in the news via intercom. This is such a blow that the words did not add up.
- Gimaev was like a father to everyone who knew him.Yes ... And pay attention, no one from the team wrote first in in social networks. For everyone, this is a huge shock. First, people wrote, as I understand it, who did not know Sergei Nailievich very closely. None of the colleagues and friends had the strength to put words out of letters.
We are all shocked. This is a Teacher and Friend for the vast majority of employees. We have a highly competitive environment. And in order to be a Friend in it, you need to have special human qualities. Gimaev had them.
I was just watching the news that Natasha Clark was reading. I see her biting her lips, almost crying. And after the broadcast burst into tears. We wrote the lyrics together. How to say it? How to pronounce? I don’t know how Natasha spent this episode.

Match TV (@MatchTV) March 18, 2017
The guys in the KHL TV studio didn't know what to say. Dozens of times each other called back, asked again. Dozens of calls from everywhere. Nobody can believe. For everyone, this is not the loss of a colleague, but of a close loved one.
P.S. After the conversation, a message came to the phone from Dima: “Imagine, I’m driving in the car now. Fixed the baseball cap. And he realized that this was his gift. He brought me back from the World Cup. Black. With the emblem of the tournament. He was not only sincere, but also caring.
In 20 minutes.
“I have to appoint someone to tomorrow’s broadcast instead of him, but I can’t. I can't call anyone. I just don't know what to do. You know, when they say that it is impossible to replace a person, it is often a figure of speech. And here we need a specific replacement for a specific tomorrow. And I can't…”
