The other two candidates, Dmitry Pustov and Dmitry Taraskin, are not his competitors.

The fight for deputy mandates in most districts is very tough. A total of 105 candidates are registered, with an average of 4.2 people per seat. But it is not the number of candidates that gives the election campaign dramatic tension, but their quality. The local branch of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation nominated its candidates in all 25 electoral districts. At the same time, 6 candidates are employees of boarding school No. 14, which is headed by the secretary of the Volgodonsk party organization and the current deputy of the Volgodonsk City Duma Tatyana Voronko. The rest are representatives of small and medium-sized businesses. With the exception of three, the candidates approached the campaign formally. On their election accounts 10 rubles each

The Just Russia party lost to the communist party quantitatively, having formed a party list of 20 contenders. Fifteen of them are also fictitious candidates, with 10 and 100 rubles in their election accounts. By the way, the actual budget of the election campaign of one candidate for a Duma seat ranges from 1 to 2 million rubles, depending on the popularity of the candidate, the seriousness of his competitor, etc.

The Liberal Democratic Party presented the smallest group of candidates. But 3 of their candidates are very serious players. There are 43 self-nominated candidates. Among them, there are only five competitive candidates. The main thing is actor in the elections to the City Duma local organization of the United Russia party. In all 25 electoral districts there are United Russia candidates registered according to party lists. But there are United Russia members among self-nominated candidates.

In five districts, Evgeny Kudryavtsev, nicknamed Admiral, the leader of the Olympian group, led his fighters against United Russia. And he didn’t just bring it out. The newspaper “Pravda, what?”, owned by the same Kudryavtsev, energetically began to compromise the candidates from United Russia. It’s funny that he himself is also a member of the United Russia party. A high position in the political council of the city “United Russia” is also occupied by the current deputy of the 24th district, Alexander Prutsakov, nicknamed Shoma, an active member of the Olympian group.

For the last eight years, Evgeny Kudryavtsev has been working very actively to create his new image as a respectable entrepreneur. He founded a fund to support family and childhood, received the Order of the Good Angel of the World (!) from the Patrons of the Century charity foundation, and created a newspaper that tirelessly glorified him. And he even took a photo at Krasnaya Polyana with President Medvedev. And he published the photo in his newspaper. It seemed that everything was ready to start running for parliament. But there was an embarrassment. One of the central newspapers wrote that our President was photographed with a man who has the reputation of the founder and leader of the Olympian group in Volgodonsk. After such a scandal, personal participation in the elections had to be canceled. Now the Olympians will be represented in the 11th district by Alexey Germanyuk, in the 12th by Evgeny Fedorin, in the 13th by Admiral’s brother Gennady Kudryavtsev, in the 14th by Alexey Misan, in the 24th by Alexander Prutsakov.

The latter owns a half share in the Olympus travel agency. The second half belongs to Alexey Zubarev, also an active Olympian. Two years ago, he was convicted of beating one of the city entrepreneurs, by the way, also a United Russia member, with metal rods together with an accomplice.

Another candidate for the 12th district, director of the base “Olympic enterprise” Troika LLC, Evgeny Fedorin, together with his “friends,” several years ago crippled a private security officer. For twenty days the 25-year-old young man was between life and death. Fedorin then went on the run and was on the federal wanted list for some time. A year later, the case was hushed up Fedorin returned to Volgodonsk and again became the director of Troika LLC.

And here are excerpts from one interesting document: “In the city of Volgodonsk, the criminal community, called “Olympus” according to criminal records, has a great influence on the socio-economic situation, the leader is Evgeniy Gennadievich Kudryavtsev, nicknamed Admiral. Has stable corrupt connections both in the city administration and in law enforcement agencies. Over the past few years, employees law enforcement no activities were carried out aimed at undermining the economic foundation of the OPS "Olympus", although it is known that this criminal community receives most of its income through illegal business activities, concealing income from the activities of trading enterprises controlled by the OPS "Olympus", extortion and blackmail.

The last inspection by OBEP officers was carried out in April 2002. Suddenly, the market in block B-5, controlled by OPS Olympus, was checked. During the audit, facts of concealment of income were revealed in large size(revenue collected from traders was not carried out at the cash register). The inspection material was recorded in the crime register. In April and May of the same year, at the Troika LLC market in the area of ​​the Yunost shopping complex, police officers carried out events during which numerous offenses in the field of trade, tax legislation were revealed, and arrests were made. a large number of persons of Caucasian nationality who were in the city without registration. However, no one was brought to justice."

But not all “heroic deeds” of Olympians can be hidden in secret. The serial beating of entrepreneurs two years ago by gang members who extorted money from them still ended in four sentences. The director and chief accountant of the Furniture from Georgiy enterprise were convicted of fraud, having helped the “man from Kudryavtsev,” as the chief accountant explained in court, “heated up” one of the banks for 5 million rubles and disappeared in an unknown direction It is clear that There's plenty of money for guys who do this sort of thing. Enough for charity, and for campaigning for ourselves, and for the coolest “PR”.

Kudryavtsev has his own view of the balance of power in the city’s corridors of power, which was published by his newspaper “Pravda, what?” In the “situation of mayor Firsov, speaker Tkachenko, the Duma will become pocket money for the administration” (L. Tkachenko, deputy head of the city administration for social development, is running for deputies of the City Duma, ed.). Therefore, there is no way for the leader of the city’s United Russia, Pyotr Gorchanyuk, to lose. He has a direct path to the post of Chairman of the Duma.

There is no doubt that the last week before the elections in the admiral's districts will be military-dramatic. Olympic plenipotentiaries will be on duty at each entrance around the clock. Competitive agitators will not be allowed near the population under threat of physical harm. One of the candidates, who dared to suspect the Admiral of unseemly actions and wrote a statement to the police, someone had already thrown an F-1 combat grenade into the courtyard of a private house. The police reacted to this incident in a very unique way: the main version is seriously considering the assumption that the candidate “ordered the grenade himself” for advertising purposes.

The question of what the balance of power will be in the future Duma of Volgodonsk of the fifth convocation is, without exaggeration, fateful for Volgodonsk now the representative body of power has the right to dismiss the mayor of the city, and the one in whose hands the controlling stake in the Duma ends up will be the master in Volgodonsk . And God forbid that it should become a celestial inhabitant of the local “Olympus”.

In 2012, the Faculty of Nuclear Power Plants of the Higher Naval Engineering School named after. F.E. Dzerzhinsky, Naval Engineering Institute, now the Naval Polytechnical Institute VUNTS Navy "Naval Academy" turns 55 years old.

How it was

In April 1946, President of the USSR Academy of Sciences S.I. Vavilov prepared proposals for the development of research on the use of nuclear energy in various fields of science and technology.

In March 1947, with the participation of I.V. Kurchatov, N.N. Semenov, A.L. Zavenyagin, V.A. Malyshev and others, it was decided to begin research and design work on nuclear power plants (NPP) in relation to ships, aircraft, power plants, etc. Scientific leadership was entrusted to I.V. Kurchatov, A.I. Alikhanov and N.N. Semenov.

The development of projects for several types of reactors was entrusted to the Laboratory of Measuring Instruments (LIP) and the Institute of Physical Problems of the USSR Academy of Sciences, NIIHIMMASH with the involvement of OKB Gidropress, GSPI-11, OKB-12, etc.

In November 1949, on the initiative of I.V. Kurchatov, considerations prepared by the LIP AS USSR on the creation of a “nuclear engine for ships with an engine power of 10,000 kW on the shaft” were considered.

In 1950-1951 under the leadership of A.P. Aleksandrov, work is being carried out to determine the possibility of placing a nuclear installation on a submarine.

Based on the results of preliminary studies by the LIP of the USSR Academy of Sciences, in November 1952, a technical specification for a power plant with a pressurized water reactor was presented.

The development of nuclear power plants with a lead-bismuth coolant was carried out under the leadership of A.I. Leipunsky together with the designers of the Gidropress Design Bureau, headed by B.M. Sholkovich.

In July 1954, the AM plant was put into operation at the world's first nuclear power plant in Obninsk.

In 1951, A.P. Aleksandrov and N.A. Dollezhal sent proposals to the high command of the Navy to create nuclear power plants for submarines, but did not find support, repeated appeal in 1952 to I.V. Kurchatova, A.P. Alexandrov and N.A. Dollezhal to the government of the USSR ends with the Resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers on the design and construction of object No. 627 - the first nuclear submarine in the USSR.

In April 1957, the first Soviet nuclear submarine “K-3” of Project 627, later “Leninsky Komsomol”, was launched at the Sevmash enterprise, commanded by Captain 1st Rank Leonid Gavrilovich Osipenko. Chief designer of the project V.N. Peregudov is the head of SKB-143 (now SPMBM Malachite), the chief designer of the main power plant of the submarine is P.D. Degtyarev, the scientific director is A.P. Aleksandrov.

Retraining of specialists for the operation of nuclear power plants of submarines at the initial stage

During the construction of the K-3 submarine, retraining of diesel and surface fleet specialists as part of the crews of nuclear-powered ships began in Training Center Navy in Obninsk and on the basis of ground-based prototypes of ship-based nuclear power plants 27VM and 27VT, created at OKB-2 under the leadership of I.I. Afrikantov and at OKB Gidropress under the leadership of B.M. Sholkovich.

Education of the Faculty of Nuclear Power Engineering

Fifty nuclear submarines, created in a historically short time, required personnel who had undergone appropriate training.

By order of the Civil Code of the Navy dated May 3, 1957, it was prescribed from 1957-1958 school year begin training mechanical engineers for gas turbine and special power plants (NPP).

Directive of the Civil Code of the Navy in December 1957 at the Higher Naval Engineering School named after. F.E. Dzerzhinsky created a “special” faculty with a variable staff of 200 people.

Teachers of the departments of the steam power faculty and the department of underwater navigation, disbanded in 1954, had to sit down to a few textbooks on nuclear reactors, steam generators, collect bit by bit the first experience in testing the lead and other submarines, undergo training at the nuclear power plant in Obninsk, in design bureaus and research institutes. The NPP faculty includes a number of departments of the school. They were led by captains 1st rank N.P. Komarovsky, Ph.D., Associate Professor; N.M. Kuznetsov, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor; B.I. Aleshin, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the RSFSR; A.M.Senov, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor; A.A. Gapchuk; Rear Admiral L.A. Rulev.

The head of the school, Vice Admiral I.G., played an important role in the formation of the nuclear power engineering department. Milyashkin, the first heads of the faculty, captains 1st rank A.F. Khomutov, V.T. Laptev and N.I. Molodtsov.

The cadets of the first two classes of the special faculty in 1957 were recruited by the head of VVMIU named after. F.E. Dzerzhinsky Vice Admiral Ivan Grigorievich Milyashkin, graduate of the school in 1931.

His previous service on diesel submarines, work as the head of large shipyards in Nikolaev and Leningrad, Deputy Minister of the USSR Shipbuilding Industry, and Deputy Minister of the Navy for Operation and Ship Repair allowed him to carry out the recruitment, relying on his rich service and life experience.

I still remember his simple (without paper) speeches at activists and meetings, with a clear definition of what everyone needs to learn. During his management of Dzerzhinka, an atmosphere of mutual respect and democracy was created long before the perestroikas and reforms.

Those admitted to the Higher Naval Engineering School named after. F.E. Dzerzhinsky School in 1957, young men hardly imagined that their fate was destined to keep up with the times and release the energy of the nucleus of a uranium atom.

In 1958-1959 The first set of nuclear engineers was replenished by transferring one class from the Leningrad VVMIU (Pushkin) and the second class - electricians from the Dzerzhinki faculty.

Famous wartime submariners: V.Yu. Braman, M.I. Shapovalov, A.D. Kruzhalov, surface submariners: B.S. Aleshin, N.M. Kuznetsov, B.I. Aleshin, A.M.Senov, V.T.Laptev, Yu.V.Razumov, R.Z.Shtykin and many others.

"Chicks" of the first set for departure

The years flew by quickly, commensurate with the pace of the five-year plans of that rapid period in the history of the Fatherland, and in a year almost all of the “chicks” of the first intake to the Faculty of Nuclear Power Engineering will sit at the control panels of nuclear power plants.

We were raised and trained

Over the 55 years of existence of the Nuclear Power Engineering Faculty, the school/institute was led by: Vice Admirals I.G. Milyashkin, A.T. Kucher, N.K. Egorov, V.F. Kudryavtsev; rear admirals G.M.Mironenko, I.N.Kolesnikov, Yu.M.Khaliullin, N.P.Martynov, captain 1st rank E.I.Yakushenko (from 2008 to present). The nuclear power plant faculty was headed by captains 1st rank A.F. Khomutov, V.T. Laptev, N.I. Molodtsov, V.Yu. Braman, O.L. Nagorskikh, N.K. Rudenko, V.N. Leontiev, V.S. Golubev , S.A. Chernyavsky, V.P. Emelyanov, A.N. Shishlov, I.N. Kurusev, A.V. Shanidze (since 2009).

Educators. Legendary front-line soldiers. Captain 1st Rank V.Yu. Braman (commander of the BC-5 submarine that torpedoed the Tirpitz), and Captain 1st Rank A.I. Vostrikov (participant in the battle on Malaya Zemlya)

The first teachers at the Department of Nuclear Power Engineering.

At the initial stage, he led the personnel forge for the nuclear power industry submarine fleet from 1953 to 1966, Vice Admiral I. G. Milyashkin. During this time, the nuclear power plant department graduated 856 lieutenants who found themselves in the “epicenter” of the nuclear underwater epic.

In 1962, in an atmosphere of alarm from the first victims of the “controlled atom”, which occurred as a result of a severe radiation accident of the power plant on the K-19 submarine in July 1961 (the submarine after the accident received the name “Hiroshima”), the first intake of the nuclear power plant faculty consisting of about 100 people left for the fleet on nuclear submarines in operation and under construction.

Graduates of the first intake of 1957 of the Faculty of Nuclear Power Engineering, who have a long history of service to the Fatherland and communication on “you” with a controlled atom.

There was a place for them all. The four projects of serial nuclear submarines of the first generation were replaced by the second generation of submarines of projects 670, 671, 667, 705 and their modifications.

Individual crews, especially those newly built, were assigned seven to eight classmates. A year or two later, the first order bearers appeared among them for the conquest of the North Pole on the K-181 submarine in October 1983, for the transfer from 1963 to 1968 of the first generation nuclear-powered ships K-14, K-115, K-133, K-42 , K-178 from North to Far East along the transarctic and transoceanic routes. German Fatigarov, Yuri Usov, Oleg Esin and others became holders of the Order of the Red Banner and the Red Star.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Soviet power, three second-generation head submarines K-43 (project 670), K-38 (project 671) and K-137 (project 667a) entered service, with graduates of 1962 taking jobs at the control panels of the power plant. .and subsequent years. For the development of new technology (SSN K-38), the author of the article, Nikolai Shcherbina, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

It was nice to realize my involvement in unknown matters. Figure 1 shows a fragment of the assembly of the core into the nuclear reactor vessel. Another moment and the shining cylinder will lie down in its bed. No one will ever see him like this again. The neutron flux, once awakened along with gamma radiation, will make it “untouchable” for many years, and maybe forever.

The faculty of the Dzerzhinka nuclear power plant, which gave us a start in life, remained a kind of Mecca for many of us. We in the navy followed the life of the school, always strived to meet with our “alma mater”, according to tradition, every five years we made an appointment for classmates in the Alexander Garden at the fountain opposite the Admiralty spire, and then proceed inside to the courtyard where youth and manhood were spent.

Ivan Georgievich Milyashkin was replaced in 1966 by Rear Admiral Arkady Terentyevich Kucher. The need for mechanical engineers to operate submarine nuclear power plants increased, as 2nd generation submarines were being intensively built and 3rd generation submarines were already being laid on the stocks of shipbuilding plants. The navy was waiting for a younger generation of mechanical engineers to replace those who served in combat, defending the geopolitical interests of the country in almost all areas of the World Ocean. This was required by the Cold War and the need to achieve parity with a potential enemy. A.T. Kucher, while holding the position of head of VVMIU since January 1966, graduated eight mechanical engineers from the Faculty of Nuclear Power Plants (1023 officers).

During these years, the personnel of the submarine crews experienced enormous stress, performing dozens, or even hundreds of combat services and combat duties. In 1974, with the rank of flagship mechanical engineer at the division headquarters, I was fortunate enough to ensure the transfer of a second-generation nuclear submarine from the North to Kamchatka under the ice of the Arctic Ocean. On the pier at the place of arrival, I met many classmates from the school, whom I had not seen since graduation in 1962. I remember the words of Viktor Topilin that tomorrow he was leaving for his eleventh autonomous unit. Another classmate, Gennady Almaev, complained that he had more than 250 walking days in a year. Not everyone could withstand such stress.

In addition to the Dzerzhintsy, the fleet was replenished with a significant number of graduates of the Sevastopol VVMIU.

From 1973 over the next six years, Dzerzhinka, represented by Vice Admiral N.K. Egorov trained about seven hundred mechanical engineers to operate the nuclear power plants of Navy submarines. The preparation conveyor did not stop any further. In September 1979, to the command of VVMIU named after. F.E. Rear Admiral Viktor Fedorovich Kudryavtsev entered Dzerzhinsky. In December 1980, the first third-generation submarine was delivered to the Navy in Severodvinsk. With the delivery of these submarines, the fleet of our Fatherland in its composition and power approached its apogee.

Vice Admiral V.F. Kudryavtsev graduated as the head of VVMIU in 1988. During his leadership of the school until 1988, the nuclear power engineering department sent more than seven hundred graduates to the fleet, so necessary for the fleet in these years.

Rear Admiral Gennady Mikhailovich Mironenko, a 1960 graduate of the nuclear power engineering department, replaced the “old guard of submariners” of the school’s leaders.

The period of his command of Dzerzhinka from 1989 to 1994 was very difficult for both the country and the school. Having a powerful army and navy, the Fatherland suddenly crumbled like a house of cards, grinding people's destinies, destroying the romantic impulses of many. The next graduation of Dzerzhinka special forces in 1992 was made for the Russian submarine forces.

In the conditions of the most difficult transition period, the country was left with a huge nuclear fleet, awaiting its fate - disposal. At the turn of the century, this term became perhaps the most important in the technical vocabulary of the Navy.

By this time, the Sevastopol VVMIU ceased to exist. It dissolved in its component parts in the Leningrad VVMIU and Dzerzhinka. There has been a continuous reform and transformation of everything and everyone, which has been going on for more than two decades. The dominant of time is “there is nothing worse than living in an era of change.” Its content contains its true meaning.

In 1994, graduates from the remnants of the disbanded SVVMIU and Dzerzhinka cadets went to the fleet. By that time, more than four hundred graduates of the Faculty of Nuclear Power Engineering, G.M. Mironenko, in demand and unclaimed, had left new life and service. In the fall of 1994, G.M. Mironenko handed over “Dzerzhinka” to Rear Admiral Igor Nikolaevich Kolesnikov, a graduate of the nuclear power engineering department in 1968, who during the four years of managing “Dzerzhinka” sent more than two hundred graduates of the nuclear power engineering department to the fleet. During his command, the world's first school of naval engineers began preparations for the 200th anniversary of the forge of engineers, which was followed by further reforms. The graduation of the nuclear power engineering faculty in 1998 was the last in the Higher Naval Engineering School named after. F.E. Dzerzhinsky, who, during a difficult historical period of confrontation between two opposing world systems, trained thousands of personnel in nuclear energy, so necessary for the Navy and the Fatherland to achieve parity in the decades-long confrontation between fleets, equipment and states.

By Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1009 of August 29, 1998, on the basis of VVMIU named after. F.E. Dzerzhinsky and VVMIU named after V.I. Lenin, the Naval Engineering Institute was founded. Rear Admiral Yuri Mikhailovich Khaliullin, former head of the VVMIU named after. IN AND. Lenin. More than a hundred mechanical engineers from the faculty are listed behind him in the class of 1999.

Into a new century with tragedy

A graduate of the nuclear power engineering department, captain-lieutenant Dmitry Romanovich Kolesnikov, whose father in the early 1970s. mastered the Project 671 2nd generation submarine, he left a short note, like his life itself:

The sad list of innocent victims was compiled by Dmitry Kolesnikov for all of us, so that we know, remember and honor the courage and heroism of the submariners who were trapped in the oblivion of everything and everyone during these perestroika years, paying for someone’s sins and miscalculations with the most precious thing in the world - with your life.

New Age. Repetition of what has been covered

In April 2000, Rear Admiral Nikolai Pavlovich Martynov, a graduate of VVMIU named after. V.I.Lenin. In the post-reform institute, the company's residential and office premises, the galley of the school were transformed, the educational and material base was developed, and personalized classrooms of school graduates appeared - academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences I.D. Spassky, A.A. Sarkisov. The Navy accepted more than five hundred graduates of the faculty. Yuri Mikhailovich is the only graduate of the Faculty of Nuclear Power Engineering at VMII of 130 people (graduates of 1999).

Since 2008, under the leadership of Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor E.I. Yakushenko Naval Engineering Institute, now the Naval Polytechnic Institute, like all military educational establishments The Navy has entered a period of organizational changes in the system of the VUNTS Navy "Naval Academy", which are not happening painlessly.

In the foreground is Rear Admiral I.N. Kolesnikov and captain 1st rank E.I. Yakushenko at the 50th anniversary of the Faculty of Nuclear Power Engineering in 2007

The need for graduates of the nuclear power engineering department, taking into account the change in the underwater potential of the Navy, has declined since 2008. Reforms of military education, a sharp decrease in enrollment, and within two years its complete absence, are fraught with the loss of continuity of generations in the service, the loss of decades of traditions developed in the training and education of cadets. In such a situation, they may find themselves unclaimed and forced to leave the sphere vocational training nuclear submariners are highly qualified specialists in nuclear energy represented by the teaching staff, the formation of which requires more than one decade.

Two three last year inspire some hope for a better future both in the possible revival of the fleet and in the measures taken to raise the prestige of military service. The future will show whether the measures taken are sufficient. In the present, there is only an increase in tension in the world in connection with the new challenges of the time.

The maritime borders of the Fatherland have remained virtually unchanged compared to the 20th century. The riches of its depths haunt some people. These circumstances require careful consideration of ongoing reforms in the military sphere and the need to “keep your gunpowder dry.”

The current situation is recognized by veterans who went through the school of the Cold War at sea, many of whom still retain a sense of romance and a sense of duty and honor. Unfortunately, these concepts have been leveled down to the point of indecency in modern times, and without them, the defense of the Fatherland is at risk.

For the meeting on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of graduating from college, the author of the article wrote lines inspired by photographs from our graduation album:

Our ranks thinned out for the 50th anniversary of graduation and the 55th anniversary of the formation of the Faculty of Nuclear Power Engineering, but life goes on.

In our edition there were: one vice admiral - this is V. Topilin (head of the Main Technical Directorate of the Navy), rear admiral G. Fatigarov (SA), captains 1st rank O. Gronsky (deputy commander of the submarine division), O. Yesin (deputy. commander of the submarine flotilla), V. Zhavoronkov (senior researcher of the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense, Ph.D.), A. Lastochkin (VVMIU, Ph.D.), V. Shumakov (teacher at the Naval Training Center). N. Shcherbina (deputy head of the EMS of the PLA flotilla, head of the department of VVMIU, candidate of technical sciences, associate professor), E. Dukmasov (deputy commander of the PLA division, deputy head of the EMS of the flotilla), V. Gorishny (head of the department of the institute), O. Selichev (teacher at the Naval Training Center), I. Vorontsov (commander of the technical crew of the submarine), V. Golubev (head of the nuclear power plant department). V. Zakharenko (head of the VP MO at OKBM), G. Ivanov (deputy commander of the submarine division), V. Kashin (general staff officer), L. Kudryavtsev (officer of the Navy Central Command). V. Markin (deputy head of the flotilla EMS), G. Marchenko (institute teacher), Yu. Oshchepkov (SVVMIU teacher), V. Galtsev (teacher at the Naval Training Center), G. Dmitriev (academy teacher), V. Korchagin (SIU officer GKS), Yu. Usov (teacher at VVMIU), S. Kogan (teacher at the Training Center).

For eliminating radiation accidents on submarines, many officers of the first cohort became veterans of special risk units and were awarded the Order of Courage. Let my classmates forgive me for not mentioning everyone in this article. Each and every one of them devoted most of their lives to serving their Fatherland. In the nineties, the state “settled accounts” with almost all of them, privatizing their savings, earned by hard labor underwater for their old age.

For many graduates, the words of submariner Captain 2nd Rank Konstantin Peletsky, a school teacher in our cadet years, an officer always dressed to the nines, wearing kid gloves, a string mustache, and a little foppish, came true. Before graduation, he reassured us, saying that we would meet all or many of us as captains of 2nd rank. This is what happened for many. For many mechanical engineers, the nuclear fleet has raised the bar to captain 2nd rank. For the representatives of the first intake on the 55th anniversary of the faculty of the Dzerzhinki Nuclear Power Plant, all titles and positions are in the distant past; they have long ceased to warm the soul.

A brief information about the faculty of the Dzerzhinki Nuclear Power Plant/VMII, VMPI and its first intake is only a part of what happened to us during this time.

Over the past 55 years, about 250 nuclear submarines and surface ships with nuclear power plants have roamed the seas and oceans, defending the interests of the Fatherland. Tens of thousands of officers, midshipmen, foremen and sailors passed through them. They have mastered trans-Arctic and trans-oceanic routes. Behind these seemingly loud phrases there is colossal human labor and incredible tension in everything. In that fast-paced life there was no time left to look back and pay tribute to those who were in the “millstone of history.”

Let what has been said remind many who were involved in the glorious achievements in the history of the Fatherland that they did a great and important job, defending it, mastering nuclear energy, which is the future.

Memoirs - literary work, which narrates in the form of notes on behalf of the author about events of the past, a participant or witness of which he was or which are known to him from eyewitnesses, and about people with whom the author of the memoirs was familiar.

Many memoirs were written by individuals who played a prominent role in history (Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Catherine II). They can cover a significant period of time, sometimes the entire life of the author, connecting important events with the small details of everyday life.

Examples of memoir books created by DEAN Publishing House:

Vice Admiral Vasily Grigorievich Kudryavtsev. Life in memories, letters and photographs.

In the book, an honored veteran of the Russian Navy talks about his life path.

Together with the St. Petersburg Regional public organization disabled people "Union "Chernobyl - Neva" on the eve of the sad anniversary - the 30th anniversary of the disaster Chernobyl nuclear power plant, DEAN Publishing House prepared and published the book “Chernobyl. Chronicle and fate. Thirty years of heroism of Chernobyl veterans in the Nevsky district of St. Petersburg.” This is a book about the heroes of our time, about those who had to stand up to defend their country from an ominous nuclear disaster.

The publication describes in detail the liquidation of the consequences of the largest man-made disaster in human history. Of particular interest are the memoirs of veteran liquidators, which allow us to see the Chernobyl tragedy from the inside, through the eyes of those who were directly involved in it.

At the end of February, Dmitry Medvedev spoke to employees of the Prosecutor General's Office and called on them to remove criminal bosses and authorities from local government bodies...

I wonder if Dmitry Anatolyevich had learned by this time that during the Christmas holidays he not only rode down the mountains in Krasnaya Polyana with a man of very dubious reputation, but also took a photo with him? This photograph was published in a newspaper in the city of Volgodonsk ( Rostov region). And now everyone in the city understood: Evgeniy Gennadyevich Kudryavtsev is a man of federal stature.

Officially, Kudryavtsev is an entrepreneur and philanthropist, a member of United Russia. He has a fairly decent business by the standards of Volgodonsk, and several years ago he established the Family and Childhood Support Fund. In 2006, Kudryavtsev was awarded the “Good Angel of the World” award, established by the Patrons of the Century charity foundation.
Unofficially, this man has a reputation as the founder and leader of the Olympus group in Volgodonsk, nicknamed Admiral. In the early 90s, the Admiral, who already had great gangster fame, was taken under his wing by one of the influential city businessmen (killed in March 2002). Thus began the transformation of the Admiral, convicted in 1991 for extortion, into a businessman.

The Admiral's patron easily approached the then head of the city, Vyacheslav Khizhnyakov, and introduced them. It must be said that Khizhnyakov rose to the rank of plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Federation Council. And all this time he did not break off relations with Kudryavtsev.

For example, this story is widely known. In 1998, a transcript was published in the Rostov regional newspaper “Our Time” telephone conversation Kudryavtsev and Khizhnyakov. The admiral asked Khizhnyakov to petition the chairman of the Rostov regional court to reject the city prosecutor’s protest against the verdict of the Volgodonsk court (the prosecutor considered it too lenient) to two active members of the Olympov group, convicted of extortion. Khizhnyakov promised to resolve the issue. Be that as it may, the judicial panel for criminal cases of the Rostov Regional Court left the prosecutor’s protest unsatisfied. By the way, Khizhnyakov later publicly confirmed the fact of such a conversation with Kudryavtsev.

The Admiral also had other patrons - for example, the head of the local Internal Affairs Directorate, General Shevchenko, who later became the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Karachay-Cherkessia, and from there moved to the chair of the head of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of the Rostov Region.

At some point, local entrepreneurs, who were regularly subjected to tribute, could not stand it. (It’s not for nothing that this city is called “Chicago-on-Don.”) And 60 people wrote an appeal to the president. They asked for protection because the local authorities and police chiefs in Volgodonsk and Rostov, according to the authors of the letter, were patronizing the lads. Commissions and police brigades frequented the city. Searches were carried out in the apartments of the Olympians and the Admiral. Kudryavtsev disappeared from Volgodonsk for many months... After that story, both the head of the regional police department, General Shevchenko, and the presidential representative Vyacheslav Khizhnyakov, and the Volgodonsk police department head, Alexander Tokarev, lost their posts.

And five years ago a funny thing happened. Evgeniy Gennadyevich was offended that he was called the leader of an organized crime group. And he filed a lawsuit against the regional newspaper for the protection of honor and dignity. Journalists brought various evidence to court. Among them is a resolution of the regional prosecutor’s office to conduct a search in the apartment of “Evgeny Kudryavtsev, one of the leaders of an organized criminal group” (quote) in connection with the murder of businessman and deputy of the Volgodonsk Duma Pavel Zubkov. The search was carried out because “there were sufficient grounds to believe that at Kudryavtsev’s place of residence there were things and documents related to the initiated case, money and valuables obtained by criminal means.” The Volgodonsk Internal Affairs Directorate had information that “the crime was organized and committed by the Olympus criminal group.” Kudryavtsev, nicknamed Admiral, was called one of the leaders of this group. Despite this, the Volgodonsk judge granted Kudryavtsev’s claim. The Rostov Regional Court did not agree with this and - a rare case! — made a new decision: to refuse the claim, thus admitting that he also doubted the purity of the Admiral’s biography.

Now, after the significant meeting between Kudryavtsev and the president, people in Volgodonsk are sure: this photo is the final chord in the admiral’s long-term PR campaign, after which he will move into politics and will probably become not only a deputy, but also the chairman of the Volgodonsk City Duma.

Volgodonsk.

“It’s our way, the Russian way!” From an interview with Evgeny Kudryavtsev:

- The breathtaking impressions of stunning landscapes and rapid ski slopes became even brighter after my meeting on the ski slope with the President Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. This was during night skiing. Imagine: the lanterns are burning, the mountains are beautiful, like in a fairy tale, there is a surge of adrenaline in the body, a song in the soul!

I'm proud that the president of my country doesn't hide behind a bulletproof shield like Barack Obama. This is our way, the Russian way! Therefore, we do not vacation in Courchevel, but follow the example of Dmitry Medvedev, Dmitry Kozak, Alexander Tkachev (I also saw them on the ski slope among tourists) - we support the domestic recreation industry.

And what, you could easily stand next to the first person of the country and talk?

I myself was amazed at the ease with which we started a conversation. Dmitry Anatolyevich is a simple and open person, and of course, I was pleased with the meeting. A photo for memory

Possibly one of the nicest gifts I have ever received on Christmas night.

Race for the President. Entrepreneur Pyotr Fedin was the first to build a commercial cable car in Krasnaya Polyana.

He was the first to meet Vladimir Putin here when he was not yet president. Not so long ago, Fedin was “removed from the ski track”, which had become too VIP. Out of old memory, he comes to Krasnaya Polyana - now as a simple tourist. We asked him to tell us how to ensure that your ski track intersects with the presidential one.

It's almost impossible to do this by accident. Security works very well. It cuts off unnecessary and random ones. What they show us: a crowd of vacationers and free communication is a lie. The same as with the direct line with the president, when real Krasnopolyans were not allowed anywhere near, and the questions were agreed upon in advance and for some reason they were asked by people who were specially brought, it seems, from Krasnodar.

Surely there will be people who will object to you...

Medvedev rarely goes skiing at all; he is not a very good skier yet and is still learning. Businessmen who desperately need a photo with the president can only find out about his arrival through security or through the organizers - some time ago Medvedev rode at the Gazprom base. But, as you understand, there are no random passers-by on skis. By the way, at the last State Council, Putin and Medvedev rode together after the meetings. A bunch of politicians with “access to the body” came to the State Council in Krasnaya Polyana. (And they had the opportunity to bring their people to the president. - R.A.) True, children are sometimes allowed through. So, my friend’s daughter took a photo with Medvedev on the ski track. But an adult, of course, won’t just get by.

Price issue

During the season, the cheapest hotel in Krasnaya Polyana (a few kilometers from the slope) costs from 3,200 rubles. per day for a double room. A VIP-level hotel costs from 7,000 rubles. for a single room on weekdays and up to 18,000 rubles. on the weekend. IN new year holidays, when the president and prime minister like to come, a standard room costs 40,000-50,000 rubles. The cost of equipment is 1000 rubles. in a day. Excursion - 500-800 rubles. Cable car (price for ascent time 12-15 minutes) - 550-2238 rub. (depending on the length and other characteristics of the cable car).
