This story, which happened many years ago, was told by a resident Kandalaksha city Leonid Korshinin.
In 1956 Lenin’s mother left for two years to work in Norwegian Svalbard island, and sent her son to her grandmother. She lived in a small Kazakh village, 50 kilometers from Alma-Ata.
In an international village
In the village, except for Kazakhs, there were Russians, Ukrainians, Chechens, and exiles Germans and Uighurs. Lenya easily fit into the local an international gang of boys, all day rushing around the village. But his closest friend was the Uighur boy Suleiman, whom all abbreviated name was Sulka.
Next to Lenin’s grandmother lived an elderly couple, both husband and wife are Uyghurs. For some reason, the grandmother in the village was called a witch. A however, she really was like her.
… Summer was ending, the villagers were harvesting in their gardens and vegetable gardens. The hot season has also come for young tomboys: in for some reason it was customary to carry other people’s vegetables and fruits (perhaps according to the principle “Others taste better”). In short, Lenya and Sulka decided to climb into the garden of elderly Uigurs.
There was no electricity in the village at that time, and people early went to bed. Lenka waited for his grandmother to fall asleep, and climbed out the window, behind which his faithful friend was already waiting. The night was clear, the full moon was looking from the sky …

A night trip that turned out to be a mystery
The boys carefully crossed the grandmother’s yard and crept to neighboring one and a half meter fence. Lurking behind him, began inspect someone else’s estate …
Suddenly, they noticed an old Uyghur leaning over a huge wooden trough that lay on the ground. The guys became curious: what is this grandfather doing in the middle of the night? And that, it turns out, poured wheat into the trough. When it is filled to the brim with grain, from an old woman appeared at home and suddenly began to undress …
Having taken off all her clothes, the grandmother lay in a huge bowl and began to dig into the wheat. The old man helped her until until she completely disappeared into the grain. Then the Uyghur silently turned around and left.
Frightened and confused, the boys sat, afraid to move. About how to climb into someone else’s garden for the “booty”, they no longer thought. It would be best, of course, to run away quietly, but something held them in place, perhaps a childish curiosity …
Suddenly Lenya and Sulka saw that the grain in the trough began move, someone’s body appeared from it. It was so scary that the guys took their breath away. Meanwhile, I got up from the trough … young girl. Having stroked his naked slender body, the beauty slowly walked toward the house. As soon as she hid with eye, like Lenya and Sulka, without saying a word, they rushed in all their might away.

Monthly rejuvenation
The guys decided not to tell anyone about what they saw: not only that they won’t believe, they’ll even laugh at me.
A few days later, Lenka learned from his grandmother that Uighur neighbor went to stay with relatives. But grandfather is not now one, because a granddaughter came to the village from Alma-Ata. A week later Lenka met this neighbor’s “granddaughter” on the street. Over the upper lip the girl could see a black mole, the same as Grandma Uyghur.
Lenkino’s curiosity turned out to be stronger than fear, and he began watch your strange neighbors. The boy saw how the appearance of the girl changed over time: her skin began to fade and acquire a yellowish tint, the beauty in her eyes was aging. Finally, one day my grandmother told Lenka that their old neighbor returned home, the granddaughter stayed and went to Alma-Ata. However Lenka knew what really happened. The boy had no doubt that a month ago he and his faithful friend Sulka became witnesses witchcraft ceremony for rejuvenation …
