Half a century ago daily students trips practiced sponsored collective farm on harvesting of potatoes and other agricultural products. Once sonar operators were brought in three buses in the backwoods. On the way back the drivers turned the wrong way, went long in the forest, finally we were out from a conventional sealed road, only very soon bumped into a gate crossing. From the house by the gate crossing military left by headed by a sergeant and came to the point bus. Apparently, the situation was familiar to them, because they were very surprised and it was shown, they wanted to send out a bus on the beam as soon as possible.

As they say, "out the routine" the sergeant asked to come from each bus. "Wolf" - introduced the elder first bus. Sergeant looked about. "Laufer" - introduced senior second bus. Sergeant took alarm and sent somewhere one of the soldiers. Senior of third bus and officer armbands came at once, and when the third introduced himself, "Wexler," the officer immediately invited all the elders into the room and ordered one of the buses didn’t bar in. What happened in "janitors booth" and in minds of those, duty officer reported event "on command", Pasichny doesn’t know (he was then one of the students detained in the bus). But he bear in mind that they were dismissed before  dawn, about two hours later.
