The kindest trolleybus conductor in St. Petersburg wrote a letter of resignation after being bullied by colleagues.

According to Viktor Petrovich Lukyanov, bullying and ridicule became the reason for the dismissal. In particular, we are talking about "kikimors from the trolleybus fleet": a former prison guard working at the checkpoint, and a former conductor. Lukyanov said that women called him "an idiot" and "moron", suggesting "to go to the madhouse."

Briefly about how Viktor Petrovich worked, a reserve officer (20 years in the Far East).

If a passenger gave way to an elderly person or a lady, he received candy from Lukyanov:

During the Olympics, Viktor Petrovich turned his trolleybus into a fan's transport: he decorated it with balloons and flags, loudly informed passengers about the next success of Russian athletes:

On New Year's Eve - dressed as Santa Claus. Once he persuaded the musicians of the military band to give a concert in the salon. Knows the word "thank you" in 79 languages. I could not stand the ridicule and quit. Viktor Petrovich is going to try himself as a guard of the Hermitage or, “if it doesn't work out,” he intends to get a job in the 6th bus depot.

Update: Fortunately, everything worked out well. The perpetrators of the conflict, because of which the most famous conductor of St. Petersburg, Viktor Lukyanov, wanted to quit, no longer work in the tram fleet, Lukyanov himself will continue to work in his place, a representative of Gorelectrotrans told RIA Novosti.

Article and video about the funny Conductor:

For two and a half years, the conductor of trolleybus No. 8 handed out sweets to free riders and gentlemen who give way to "honored residents of the city" (as Victor calls pensioners, disabled people and pregnant women) and paid for them with his card.

Viktor Petrovich went to work like on a holiday - a snow-white shirt, tie, ironed trousers, mustache curled up. Although the mood from the very morning they tried to ruin almost every working day.

- I with fear approached the checkpoint, - the conductor told "Komsomolskaya Pravda". - There are kikimors sitting: one of the prison came to us - she was a warden, the second is a former conductor. They call me moron, idiot. Me - a reserve officer with a higher education! One of them recently told me: "Go to the madhouse."

What is famous for:

- During the Sochi Olympics, Viktor Lukyanov, in addition to stops, announced reports to passengers about sports victories.

- In the New Year, I went to the salon in a suit of Santa Claus.

- Knows the word "thank you" in 79 languages.

- The musicians of the military band, who were returning from rehearsals at half past midnight, received sweets as a gift. In gratitude, we arranged a concert in the trolleybus salon.

- After parting with his wife, for two years Viktor Lukyanov lived under the stairs in the front door. But he did not give up: he worked as a janitor, a labor teacher, collected bottles at Petrovsky … And saved up for a one-room apartment. By the way, he later made up with his wife.

- By rank, a good conductor, major in reserve. He gave 28 years of his life to the service of the Motherland.

The two-volume commendation book, which Viktor Lukyanov collected during his work, was allowed to take the park with him. After all, he also drove him not according to the instructions, but for the sake of the good mood of the passengers.

Below you can find a short film-portrait about the best conductor in St. Petersburg, Viktor Petrovich Lukyanov.

A few more lines from an interview with the author of the film about Viktor Petrovich:

Q: How did you get the idea to make a film about the “best conductor of St. Petersburg”?

A: The idea for the film started with a hero. I had a task to shoot a portrait film, in this regard, I was in search of an interesting person. Once, before acting, a classmate told that she saw a mustachioed "uncle" handing out sweets in a trolley bus. I got interested, began to google, and then, in hot pursuit, I went to Viktor Petrovich, who agreed to act.

At first I became interested in his unusual approach to the conductor business. And after I learned about my hobby for the puppet theater and all its life twists and turns, I never doubted for a second that this story should take the form of a small documentary film.

Q: Were there any difficulties with filming? What impression does your character make in person?

A: It was not difficult to agree on the shooting. Viktor Petrovich is an amazingly open and sympathetic person. When my modest film crew, represented by me and the cameraman, came to his house, he always treated us to tea during breaks, told stories. In general, he is a very tough guy, to put it simply.

The kindness and sincerity of such people are often mistaken by those around them for weakness.
