hello. kirill vyshinsky is with you, and this program is typical news. our title says it all, we are talking about the territory that has returned to its historical roots, he is armed with the help of a careful look at history. we will try to reveal the originality of her present day, find both typical features and recognizable signs of the past. and that's what we'll talk about today. what do you know about the sun if you were not in the mine the last sunday of august miner's day, what will be the mines of donbass conversation with the program expert his name

streets and cities the most famous miner of the ussr aleksey stakhanov in donbass, the industrial heart of novorossiya, miner's day has always been a special professional holiday. it is celebrated on the last sunday of august and this year fell on the 27th. on the same day , city day is also celebrated in donetsk . miner's day began to be celebrated after the war in 1948. a specific date was timed to coincide with the record of alexei stakhanov in 1935 on the night of august 30-31. in one shift, he mined 102 tons of coal at a rate of 7 temps, with which in the first months after the liberation of donbass in 43 , they restored the destroyed mines and gave the country coal. today, not only surprise, but

cause pride. this was done by people, relatives, friends, who continued to fight at the front with a huge shortage of personnel in the face, old people descended, who mined coal even before the revolution, teenagers from vocational schools at the call of soviet and party bodies, husbands and fathers who went to the front were replaced by women from 1943 to forty-seventh years, in the mines. donbass worked up to 80% of women. often chopped coal, no jacks hammers. they simply did not exist, like the old days after the war, a medal for the restoration of coal mines. donbass was awarded over 40-60.000 people, more than half of them women. today while there is no peace on the land of novorossia, it is too early to talk about the restoration of the donbass step, many of those who could

go down into battle and mine coal during the 8 years of the war in donbass left to work in the mines of kuzbass and other regions of russia, most of those who remained after the start of their fight with weapons in the hands of the luhansk people's republic today every second miner went to the front. approximately the same situation in donetsk meanwhile in the donbass continue to mine coal for more than 80 steps. i sincerely congratulate all the miners of donbass on their professional holiday. of course, we wish them, first of all, a peaceful sky above their heads and a bright sun, because, as you know, only he knows everything about the sun, who at least once was in the mine at the hard work of the miners in the plot anna efimova everything is fine, you give a good

signal. elevator delivers to the surface miners and just mined by them the coal emits down the shifting miners at this mine. more than 700 people work in four shifts, they come from donetsk and senov and gorlovka and shakhtyorsk. 461 meters underground, long tunnels are relatively low humidity and, as the miners themselves say , temperatures are quite comfortable for work, about plus 25 °, while in other faces the thermometer sometimes rises to plus forty. itself is destroyed with the help of e, a chain on which it is installed in fists with teeth. u, passes through the bar and with the help of the load chain enters the conveyor says and painstakingly mined black gold of donbass despite all the talk. they

are the profitability of local mines, the lack of labor, which is obvious in the conditions of hostilities , the miners go down to battle, because they know that coal is also mined, it's worth it. our company mines e. coal grade k in the case of low sulfur content, which in turn allows the production of coke for metallurgy and the production of high quality metal, which is in demand abroad, gornyak 95. in makeyevka, it was opened even before the revolution, paradoxically, it is still considered one of the most promising and modern this year. a new stope was put into operation on it. on average, about 370 tons of coal are mined here per day. it looks like a cornucopia, however, in fact, in the current conditions , the operating mines in the donbass can literally be counted on the fingers over the past

10 years, the level of coal production, according to some estimates, has decreased 10 times from 80 million tons in 2013 to about 8 million tons now, it 's not just about fighting. although many the mines are located in the pre-frontal zone and are regularly shelled. and not only because of the worn-out equipment. although this figure exceeds 80%. but also in the outflow of personnel, which, however, began long before the outbreak of hostilities , funding for capital construction was constantly reduced and , uh, at the time of ukraine’s own ears of independence, it was a real disaster. because the miner they got to their workplace for hours on foot simply because the shaft of the mines was not broken after 2014 donbass ended up in a blockade and actually lost official sales markets with the light hand of petro poroshenko and industrial magnate rinat

akhmetov, donetsk coal began to be sold according to the notorious corruption scheme. rotterdam plus not directly, but through intermediaries they imported it at a price of 40 to 70 dollars per ton, and sold it to their own ukrainian power plants at a european, exchange price of 90 to 120 dollars , she tried to resolve the situation with the supply of coal from at that time not recognized republics, moscow with the help of a poor ukrainian oligarch from the teams of yanukovych sergey kurchenko staked on his supposedly remaining connections in the energy complex of ukraine and for several years he was granted a complete monopoly on the export of the donbas ruble, what came of this, you know, now not only the high offices, well, in every mining family, even taking into account incredible business margin for kurchenko personally, he managed to accumulate. uh, a little less than 10 billion rubles. dolgov e, about 3 billion rubles dolgov e, purely in terms of wages during the kurchenko period

was a disaster for the miners fled who where, in the dpr, for example, it was organized for work , miners recruited uh, yakut fucking holdings, kolmar, people went with their families to yakutia in neryungri uh, and actually. apparently. there still. i remained accumulated and went to dolgov. and among the miners they joked gloomily that they were given salaries only on major holidays for the new year and the miner's day itself led to major strikes in the lpr in june 2020. the miners of the komsomolskaya mine refused to rise because of the battle and our husbands went on a hunger strike. are in the mine, they will build and defend their interests. they have one demand to give out a full salary to all miners, the mine, the komsomol situation was resolved only after the intervention of the head of the luhansk people's republic, leonid pasechnik. under his personal guarantee, the miners ended their strike and rose to the surface. as

a result, the mines in the lugansk region, which were directly called unprofitable and unprofitable, it was decided to transfer the lpr to full state control. but in donetsk they went the other way, they are looking for investors to transfer the mines to the business of officials, great hopes for privatization. uh, and they hope that this privatization will allow, how to increase coal production, and close wage arrears, and at the same time remove from them, uh, a headache called shakhty and well, at least in the dpr, an official. this precisely comes from the fact that everything must be done strictly. as in russia, and in russia, the state mines no not to mention . that donbass ranks third in the world in terms of deposits of the most valuable energy-intensive coal grade anthracite, by the way, at the recent russia-africa summit held in st. plans were announced for the export of donbass coal to african countries, and hypothetically, we are talking not only about the sale of black gold, but also about the supply of mining equipment for

the donbass coal industry - this is at the same time an opportunity to get out of a difficult crisis and prove alternatives to the donetsk coal basin for certain segments. there is simply no market for energy resources, they say, kuzbass is cheaper to say, and there is also 7% and much more, but e kuzbass. it is necessary to overcome half of russia, generally speaking, in order to bring it to the european part or to consumers who are close by, even turkey there, the middle east, and from the donbass - this is much closer. naturally, it is more convenient this way. therefore, if the donbass is revived, then it can become and, probably, should become the main supplier. and for the european part of russia and these countries , mainly in the middle east and near the middle east, it is difficult to say for sure whether those who, despite any difficulties, are thinking about new export directions and large-scale market prospects every day continues to descend into the mines in order to conscientiously carry out his, frankly,

difficult work. well, what all these people absolutely want to see, rising to the surface after the next shift. these are not vague prospects, but clearly outlined the horizon of the opportunities that open up before them anna efimova valery savelyev anastasia popova is a typical novorossiya. we will talk with a permanent expert of our program about what should change in the hard work of a miner and what the future step of donbass might be historians political scientist rostislav, ishchenko rostislav good afternoon. good afternoon, sorry, how 9 years of war affected the state of the coal industry in donbass well , it is clear that it did not flourish. all this time. actually, it did not flourish even before the war, and even during the war, even more so, and at one time, donbass coal covered 40% of ukraine's needs for energy coal. and

if we talk about the big donbas well, that is , the donetsk luhansk regions as a whole, then local coal covered 75% of the needs of local industrial enterprises according to the data. uh, the coal miners' union, a gift, if there are two problems, and this is a lack of investment. the second problem is the outflow of qualified personnel. in general, i think that it will be much more difficult to solve the second problem, and not only because many personnel went to the war and for 10 years in the war. they just died. we are also because russia is now opening up for the donbass , and this is just the coal of the industry playing in some way. not a cruel joke, because hmm that is very hard work and not always grateful and now at least local. uh coal enterprises are faced with the fact that

young people do not really want to go to the mines and there are two ways to solve this problem, which were run in at one time. the soviet union, but both of them are not working now, because in the twenties and thirties, the personnel for the mines were left by the dispossessed, who simply could not find a job. passports were not issued anywhere like that, but they were accepted into shakhty, because in shakhty they understood everyone, this meant criminals, who forbade her to live in big cities. so they also went to work political, who either left the camps, and they were forbidden to live in big cities, or they hid from the relevant authorities. so it was also possible to hide in the mines, because they were not looking in the mines. after the great patriotic war, it means that uh development was provided at the expense of. uh, well, let's say even huge miner's salaries, because, in principle, the average miner's salary. it, uh, corresponded or was even higher in

some cases, the salary of the commander of a nuclear submarine. this, uh, was attractive. naturally frames, because, well, here heavy. yes, we and the money are very big and let's say it is the same there in the donbass . uh, donetsk was provided in the soviet union under the first category, which was important then, because, uh, money still had to be able to. what is it to buy if you can’t import something in your city, because it was there in the third category, and the second category is money you don’t have, it can’t cook it , therefore, it created appropriate conditions for, uh, miners work, attracted, but, uh, now, according to that the same trade union. yes, uh, the salary has grown from the seventeenth to the twenty-first year to the twenty-second, from 12:00 to 120.000, but this salary has grown only in certain mines

that work and that well work successfully entry. e donbass in the economic cycle of russia e. maybe, they hope to somehow influence the situation in the donbass, that it will affect, they are waiting for russian investors there and they are aware that there can’t be others in principle, will russian investors come there, it’s the industry that some number will come, because anyway donetsk anthracite is needed in donetsk only a part, which is now constantly mined there . today, about a third of everything is working in the donbass. yo-my, mine and not the fact that they will all work next year, because again, not enough for investment is not enough. frame investors. they will come if they sell coal somewhere, uh, before coal was consumed by ukrainian metallurgy, we

know that now ukrainian metallurgy has been ordered to live long. therefore , the question is that at the beginning investors came to the metallurgical industry and er, metallurgical enterprises began to recover in the former ukrainian territories. and there are at least some grounds for hope for optimistic development forecasts. i can’t say that the production is so pessimistic, because i have already said that at eight local youth do not really want to go to the mines, respectively , the reduction in quantities, but at the same time , investors come to those that are promising from a business point of view. yes, he generally balances, local interests less frames, yes, but also less. and at the same time, the salary is higher for those who will work in them, so it is quite possible that as a result we will get such a more balanced economy of donbass, but at the same time, e-e coal mining will remain one of its foundations. well, that is, it can happen. the same

coal reform, about which they spoke for so long in their time. the most important thing is that it will not happen less painfully, because the most painful part has already passed thanks to the war, that is, further. it remains only to revive what can be revived and not touch, it is impossible to revive. thank you very much for an interesting story. during the years of the first soviet five-year plans in the 20-30 of the last century , borussia was the locomotive of the industrialization of a huge country. the main volume of iron ore and coal of the ussr was mined here, three-quarters of the electricity of soviet ukraine and 20% of all electricity in the country were produced, but this industrial breakthrough of novorossia became possible only thanks to the selfless work of its inhabitants, low labor productivity, a serious problem of the first five-year plans

proletarian enthusiasm and class consciousness quickly exhausted themselves, and the pre-revolutionary system of fines and incentives did not fit the soviet economy . staff turnover, lack of work initiative, low labor discipline, the characteristic signs of that time, only those who knew the production from the inside could stand the machine themselves or the threshing shop in the 1930s, in the mines of donbass, competition began for increasing coal production, early fulfillment and overfulfillment of norms. in the first record holder in the thirty-second year was the miner gorlovskaya, mine kochegarka nikita izotov, he exceeded the monthly plan four times in 3 years , alexei stakhanov, the miner of the lugansk mine central imino , completed 15 norms in one shift.

he changed the mining technology before the miner not only chopped coal, but also strengthened the vaults himself, shahty stakhanov only worked with a jackhammer, and two of his assistants were engaged in fasteners, the proposal was supported by the partner, mines and the record was recorded in august 1935, this almost immediately became known to all country achievement note. appeared in the newspaper, though such workers innovators who many times overfulfilled the plan during the years of the first five-year plans in the donbass were hundreds of tractor driver praskovya angina lokomotiv driver pyotr krivonos miner nikita izotov and many other new labor traditions and technical solutions appeared where the main industrial potential of the country was concentrated, the peredovik movement was called stakhanov and for many years, it has become a symbol of a creative attitude to his work about

alexei stakhanov, legends and myths around his record and life path olga's story mokhovaya orlovsky peasant alexei stakhanov was brought to the donbass by need at the beginning of the last century. so did many representatives of the peasant class. in the summer they worked on the land, and in the winter, leaving their native lands in the mines. ilmensky mine. later named mine. central irina has been known since 1896 and this is the part where we are. here underground. our occurrence of plastov leads from north to south, the angle of incidence goes. so imagine what a 66-72 degree development system is. so called here so that you don't get killed after all, no one will tear at you, and each ledge of 12 m is very serious in terms of technology . well, as a traumatic job on the one hand, and on the other, there is a psychological

abyss under you. nature endowed these places with rare deposits of zhirny as real coals, especially valuable for metallurgy, but when 22-year-old alexei stakhanov got hired here , the mine did not fulfill the plan from year to year. stakhanov was not the first. to whom partner konstantin petrov offered to go for the record , the slaughterer's ingenuity and his remarkable physical strength played a role. stakhanov was a virtuoso of his craft. first, he cut down how lesha felt you. before you start working. he always approached the reservoir, and he felt it, looked for the swing and began to cut, peck at this junction point, where in the cavity there is the greatest tension, if a person falls into a flare, then the reservoir simply brings down the night of august 30 to august 31, 1935. turned the whole life of both stakhanov and i

of the coal industry the very next morning for the record. dozens of miners came to sign up at the mine; piecework wages were introduced by stakhanov himself instead of the norm of 25-30 rubles. he received 220, as well as a room with furniture, a personal place in the miners' club and a family voucher to the resort twice more, he went to the record, chopping 175, and later 321 tons. in general , labor productivity in the mines of donbass increased by 60%. our. uh, a dusty mining village has turned into a prosperous city with a large number of enterprises in just a few years. residents was from year to year. as a result, more than 20,000 people lived in our small town by the first anniversary of the record at the irmen mine, a school was built at the request of stakhanov . after all, he himself had only two parochial classes behind him, and the village was given the status of a city in 1937. stakhanov for

moscow and more he doesn’t belong to himself , he studies at the industrial academy, becomes a deputy of the supreme council, and then the war , he asks to be sent to the front to beat the enemy in stakhanov’s way, but they take care of him and send him to the rear to karaganda to the chiefs, mines arriving there , stakhanov was surprised that there were only women and teenagers, and he not only taught them the high-speed method of breaking coal, but also worked with them and loaded coal appeared in his office. occasionally, only when it was necessary to hold a general meeting after the war. alexei stakhanov headed the sector of social competition in the people's commissar of the coal industry, as in the year of the stakhanov record, his life is cool. changed in the late fifties at a reception at the first secretary of the central committee of the communist party nikita khrushchev foreign communists asked. and where is the main worker of the country of the soviets under stalin , he was a constant companion of such meetings. to which he allegedly, not knowing that the glasses are in moscow, he replied. what and where should he

be if not in the donbass although they lived with the stakhan in the same house, moreover, in the same entrance. stakhanov was ordered to go to the donbass within 40-8 hours, the city of chistyakova is now the city of taraz. and stakhanov left, they will remember him only in the year of his 35th birthday. his record at that time was already secretary general leonid brezhnev to be surprised that alexei stakhanov in unlike all his followers , he is still not a hero of socialist labor. the proud miner refused to go to moscow for a high award and they brought it to him at the mine, central irmennaya alexei stakhanov went from an assistant to a conagon to a slaughterer from the mine itself, unfortunately, there is little left that's all that you see behind my back ironically fate. the central names of one of the first in luhanch did not fall under the so -called restructuring. the coal industry closed it in 1995 in the year of the 60th anniversary of the stakhanov record. 120-meter concrete

the pile driver, which could not be blown up, rises today as a bitter reminder before the closure of the modernization. the mines invested about 20 million dollars of proven coal reserves for no less than 50 years. they say that they have seen a lot in their lifetime. the miners cried on the closing day of the inhabitants. eh, very proud. they merged their profession miner-cutter gross, people who were engaged in underground work very risky. it was a very respected and revered work. and these people know the plague, each for his family from the country as a whole, suddenly, in one moment, they turned into nobody the hall of mining glory of the ilmen museum is made in the form of a root drift divided by pylons into compartments, like underground the pride of the collection, the unique banner of the best mine of the ussr , the only one of its kind. almost everyone has a past relationship to either the mining profession or the mining dynasty?

big big, well, how do you say? school is not only a school, this school is probably the first formation you understand, because this one is not just fear. it's afraid of the first five years, as i jokingly say, here are the people who stay is the golden fund. you see, there are no traitors among the slaughterers, there are no falsehoods, and therefore, probably, this city has a special spirit and mood of its own. heroes memory about their difficult coast. and the commune. irvine itself and neighboring stakhanov are still subjected to regular shelling. where, on a pedestal , a former oryol peasant firmly holds a jackhammer walking towards immortality olga mokhova anastasia popova valery savelyev is a typical novorossiya. it's all about we wanted to tell. kirill vyshinsky was with you today. see you soon. the work

of the whole tech and our economy. how many now the company employs 125,000 people, those who somehow connected their fate with engineering solutions will continue to take their share in the global energy balance for a long time to come. it is environmentally friendly 15 years ago.

vladimir putin arrived in the kursk region this evening to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the battle of kursk, the president spoke at a ceremony in the village of ponyri, he said that the significance of the victory in the battle of kursk cannot be overestimated and noted that we should be proud of our

servicemen, who are now fighting boldly and decisively, the hero of the special operation . what else did the president talk about anastasia efimova all the details ? battle cannot be overestimated. after all, it was here that it was destroyed. as the head of state put it, the striking power of the nazis was incinerated . this became possible only thanks to the iron fortitude of the valor of soviet soldiers and commanders, the descendants of whom today are fighting again for their motherland today. here, on the legendary kursk land , high state awards will be presented to our heroes , servicemen participating in a special military operation, who are worthy of the glory of the heroes

of the kursk bulge. those who fought the nazis summer 1943.
