the meeting with the secretary of the central committee of the party malenkov at the end of 1951 lasted for more than an hour, and it was still impossible to come to an agreed decision... each of those present stood their ground, even the belarusian comrades did not have a unified opinion, only disagreements, but the issue was serious, and it had to be submitted to the central committee bureau for consideration. the issue was actually about stopping the production of a tractor that had recently been launched into production. the minister of forestry of the ussr was categorically against switching to the production of a new wheeled tractor and abandoning the reliable

caterpillar, we will destroy the forest industry, the minister said in his heart, it is used everywhere, besides , it will be necessary to rebuild the whole plant. he was echoed by the belarusian minister, this cannot be done, we will ruin the industry. the director of mtz alexander mikhailovich tarasov, recently appointed to this position, stood his ground. the production of caterpillar tractors must be stopped. and switch to the production of wheeled ones, this is a new era in tractor manufacturing. malinkov once again rose from the table and paced around cabinet. he also couldn't make a final decision.

the workers of the shop, where the new wheeled tractor created by the plant's designers was being assembled, literally listened to every word of the belarusian radio announcers. the long-awaited message was coming from the plant's loudspeaker. 14 kastrychnik 53 years - a significant day for all workers of the minsk tractor plant and the republic. today, a new, kolava, universal-cultivating tractor mtz2 came out of its main conveyor. a new era is beginning in tractor construction. on october 14, 1953, the first wheeled tractor rolled off the conveyor.

it was a truly epochal event. in the republic of the ussr, belarusian designers created universal tractors, wheeled on rubber tires, with a large speed range. it could be coupled not only with a trailer, but with mounted and semi-mounted agricultural equipment, tools. the introduction of wheeled tractors into the tractor line. this was also, let's say, an innovation, since the production of wheeled equipment on the territory of the soviet the union was minimal, this niche was occupied by our minsk tractor plant after the war years, here is a wheeled tractor, it became a more universal tractor, which could be used not only in the fields, but could also be used to

transport some cargo across the territory of the republic. then in october 1953, this was another victory for the entire team. it took just a couple of years to switch to the production of a fundamentally new tractor model. it also took just a couple of years to start producing an aircraft plant, the construction of which never succeeded to complete the pre-war, create a new plant for the production of tractors, and take a leading position in the ussr. in the first post-war years , the labor feat of workers, designers, and managers of the minsk tractor plant began. its heroic history began. 1946 became a landmark year for the country. it was a kind of milestone that determined the transition from the stage of restoring

the destroyed national economy to its peaceful construction. the most difficult and dramatic time was behind the republic. two post-war years, when it literally was rising from the ruins, ambitious plans for the first post-war five-year plan lay ahead, the rise of agriculture was the most important task for the entire country, it was in dire need of equipment. on may 29, 1946 , the ussr council of ministers issued resolution no. 1142 on the construction of the minsk tractor plant. on july 16, 1945 , iosifonovich

stanin, the then leader of the soviet union, was passing through the city of minsk on his way to the podsdam conference. his train stopped in minsk, and a small rally was held for 25 minutes. minsk, where in a wooded area there were unfinished buildings of the aircraft factory. it was supposed to be put into operation in october of 1941, but the war disrupted all plans. after the liberation of the republic, from october of 1944 to

may of 1945, aircraft for the front, yak-9 fighters, were assembled here. now the production has been repurposed. unique newsreel footage. in march of 1947 , the 15th congress of the central committee of the komsomol republic began its work in minsk. it declared the construction of the minsk tractor plant of the komsomol. and this was a completely justified decision. a lot of young people worked at the enterprise. literally from all over the republic, she began to arrive for its construction immediately... personnel were supplied from technical schools,

gomel, mogilev, they did not come here, began to work, settle in and continued to work at the plant all the time. young men and women worked on the construction of the enterprise buildings, many mastered new professions for themselves and such important for the country, turner.

training at stalingrad, chelyabinsk, kharkov, at other enterprises. personnel of turners, fitters, milling machine operators, electric welders, began to prepare craft school, which opened at mtz. the plant was replenished with personnel and at the expense of the local population. from all over the union to the enterprise.

he headed the plant during the most difficult time, from the beginning of its construction, from november 45 to 1947. huge experience, during the war he managed the most important production for the country, plant number 35 of the people's commissariat of the aviation industry of the ussr in kuibyshev. after returning to minsk , there was an auto repair shop.

well, so far our society has not yet developed such an attitude to the legislative process.

project say, don't be silent, don't miss new releases on the belarus 24 tv channel. we will tell you about the diversity of belarusian cuisine. the recipe for a very interesting dish, the old believer bulbyashniki with krepač. potatoes were boiled in their skins, then the skin was removed from the hot food, they were pounded for a long time in this mortar, then they made a small sausage, cut such circles, for someone it is. just a soviet braid, but in fact this pastry has a thousand-year history, we will witness

the birth of culinary masterpieces, if you want to have a delicious breakfast, cook it yourself, i thought i met marina, marin, hi, hello, so, now we're going to decorate it, for this we have a banana, marmalade, ice cream and caramel tatyn, and we'll make a detailed gastronomic map of our country, so, what is challah? challah is traditionally white bread, a white braided bun that jews eat on shabbat. so i'm absolutely happy, do you know why? because i found myself. in the most marshmallow place of the most marshmallow city, watch the "food anywhere" project on our tv channel.

in may 1947, radio announcers traditionally were getting ready to go on air. the programs were now listened to practically throughout the entire republic. in 1946 , centers were created in most districts that provided reception and transmission of signals to all... more than half of its territory was already covered by wire radio. the event was the restoration of a powerful transmitter destroyed in the colonies during the war. the radio engineer gave the go-ahead,

and another important message was broadcast. with great creative zeal. the builders of the tractor plant are working, their village mykhailo antonik, recognized by the order for their labor obligations lenin, member of the kamsamol youth brigade of tynkaushchykov leonid patapenko and many others. in may 1947, the bureau of the minsk city party committee was fading the attempts to work of the famous worker, pyotr dudko. in his brigade he already had a more efficient organization of work and used more rational.

moreover, his own belarusian. the first product that began to be manufactured at our enterprise was far from a tractor, because there was not enough technology, there was not enough equipment, the very first thing was equipment that imported from germany, this is the so-called trophy equipment. the first thing we started to manufacture was the forty-ninth year, it was the swamp plow. the belarusian soviet socialist republic, even before the great patriotic war , a melioration program was developed. there are a lot of swamps, and these swamps had to be introduced into agricultural land, that is why 900 plows were manufactured, it took only a few years to launch a huge plant to start producing products, it was not only

a swamp plow, they started to roll off the conveyor the first kd-12 machines, and the kd-35 tracked tractor, but it was not yet the plant's own development, created on the basis of the kirovets, its assembly was carried out at mtz, work was carried out on its own machine, the heart of the enterprise was the design bureau. in the office of the chief designer of the minsk tractor plant there was such silence that if a fly flew by, its flight would be akin to the rumble of a passing train. young designers, pyotr baikov and viktor voitikov were afraid to move from the tension. they caught every movement of the chief designer

ivan iosifovich drong, the expression on his face. he was intently examining the drawings they had presented, their first developments. he would stop for a long time at the columns of numbers, shake his head disapprovingly, and begin making corrections himself, recalculating. finally, the verdict was announced. i am surprised at your timidity, is it worth correcting yesterday? let's think about tomorrow, even the day after tomorrow, he immediately encouraged the dejected youth, laying out the drawings in front of them. after all , something interesting is looming in your work. and the bold decision of the chief designer, in first of all, we will cut out the tracks. the tractor must be wheeled and necessarily

rubber-tired, have a wide range of speeds, and most importantly, be able to connect not only to trailers, but also to other implements. for the design bureau-plant , painstaking work began to bring the model, as they say, to mind. for the chief designer , walking around ministerial offices in moscow began. and, finally, in may 1948 , the plant received a draft of technical requirements for the design of a new tractor from the ussr ministry of agriculture. universal wheeled with a diesel engine with a capacity of 37 horsepower. after development in the design bureau of a new model

of tractor, which was given the name belarus, the project was presented by minsk residents at the scientific and technical council of the ministry of automobile and tractor industry at the end of 1948. it was headed by an authoritative in the ussr, academician yevgeny alekseevich chudakov. the calculations and arguments of the chief designer of the minsk tractor plant ivan iosifovich drong turned out to be more than convincing, the machine had to be launched into production as soon as possible. july 18, 1949, a twist of the experiment.

seven prototypes were released, factory tests, refinement , tests again. the prototype became the basis for the creation of the mtz-2. it was launched into serial production. the kd-35 crawler tractor, the kt-12 skidder, special equipment used in logging, the first wheeled tractor. the result of the heroic work of the team in the first post-war five-year plan, its motto to catch up and surpass the military level, was fully

realized by the plant. it became a holiday for the city, the emergence of a tractor plant, a tractor appeared, we had a caterpillar tractor, but it quickly somehow came off, these remained wheels, but tractors for everything until today, they are only of course all newer.

by the end of the first post-war five-year plan, the task of equipping agriculture with modern equipment. was already being solved by a number of enterprises in the republic. gomselmash remained the largest agricultural machinery plant. the beginning. of the design

service was in the post-war years, this is 1947 , the country stopped on its feet, it was required to revive agriculture, it was necessary to create new machines for the soviet union, to feed people, cattle, therefore it was decided to create such a service, from this the development of the simplest body machines began, which manually and mechanically could grind, prepare karma. in 1948 gomselmash reached the military level in terms of production volume, in the fifties it surpassed it almost twice. the plant began to develop the production of fundamentally new machines, trailed, silage harvesting. this allowed to increase their productivity, as consequence, forage harvesting.

solution, if we talk about the trend of creating power-harvesting combines, it continues today at gosilmash and beyond. of course, these are completely different machines, these are machines with a capacity of 450-650 horsepower, because today high productivity is required, agriculture today and the republic of belarus and the russian federation including, taking into account the increased high yields,

such machines are required today, therefore. we are in this direction, starting from those years and today, we are we have not lost the direction, on the contrary, we are developing it, and today we have complex, science-intensive machines, then it was a labor victory of gomselmash workers, who were able not only to revive their enterprise, offer agriculture new modern equipment, but also lay a solid foundation for the further development of production. creation of a new industry in the republic. each subsequent decade became a milestone. then, in the first post-war five-year plan , agricultural machinery enterprises were created in the regions of the republic, farms began to work restored mts. but this was only the beginning. it was in the first post-war.

positions in the ussr, created a solid foundation for food security of the bssr, and subsequently sovereign belarus, and many brands of belarusian equipment, which were created in those distant years, became world brands. at the end of june 1950, belarusian radio organized the first exchange radio broadcast minsk -stalingrad. this was an innovation in radio journalism, its participants from different

enterprises. builders took part its production. the gratitude of the republic and those who built mtz, the leading workers of the stalingrad tractor-builders team for the assistance provided was also heard.
