our country and our heroes volunteered so it turned out that two mines were stepped on. our help and our support for our warriors. the whole of russia is real, the history of our people in our new project exclusive premiere from august 28 at 15:00 only on the russia channel .

the city suffered, as much as possible public buildings were burned down, only cooling walls without ceilings remained. 38.099 civilians died citizens, this is called the znamenskaya grove, the search engines found within 10 skeletonized corpses. there is horror here, a flaw there are a lot of children, a killer. what is the area of ​​responsibility along the front of 25 km, is this the core of my grouping? the forward control point here is the group command grouping, a complex controlled position in the morning, the lines of the position are not allowed, i have an operational group working daily in the glasses of a master

of artillery. this is tolly artillery, a jet artery in ancient times, a school to fight among the germanic tribes. well the last their fighting tribe is over. we'll take care of this. it will be the honest detective.

hello. kirill vyshinsky is with you, and this is a program typical of novorossiya, our name says it all, we are talking about the territory that has returned to its historical roots 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 day miner, what will be the mines of donbass conversation with the program expert streets and cities are named after him, the most famous miner of the ussr

alexei stakhanov in the 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. he mined 10 years in one minute seven tons, the pace with which in the first months after the liberation of donbass in 1943 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 they chopped coal, not jackhammers. they just didn't exist. and such scrap as the old days after the war with 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 the face and mine coal during the 8 years of the war in the donbass left to work in the mines of kuzbass and other regions of russia, most of those who remained after the start of the mtr are fighting with weapons in hands in the lugansk people's republic today every second tent. went to the front. approximately the same situation in donetsk meanwhile in the donbass continue to mine coal for more than 80 steps. we sincerely congratulate all the miners of donbass on their professional holiday. of course, we wish them, first of all, peace, the sky above their heads and the 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 story of anna efimova everything is fine, you give good,

click the sound of starting the motor lifting installation delivers the miners to the surface and the coal they have just mined emits down, interceding to replace the miners in 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. the self is destroyed with the help of e, a chain on which are set in fists with teeth. uh, it's passing through the bar and with the help of a cargo chain gets on the conveyor will say 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 the mined and coal is worth it. our company mines e. k grade coal with a very low sulfur content, which in turn makes it possible to produce coke for metallurgy and the production of high quality metal, which is in demand for border, gornyak 95. it was opened in makiivka 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, and it's not just about fighting. although many mines are located in the pre-frontal zone and are regularly shelled, and not only in the depreciation of equipment. although this figure exceeds 80%. but also in the outflow of personnel, which, however, began long before the outbreak of hostilities, and funding for the capital construction of donbass 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 just for hours on foot, because the mine shaft was not broken after 2014, the donbass found itself in a blockade and actually lost its official sales markets with the light hand of petro poroshenko and industrial tycoon rinat akhmetov

, donetsk coal began to be sold according to the notorious corruption scheme. rotterdam plus not directly, but through intermediaries it was imported at a price of 40 to 70 dollars per ton, and sold to their own ukrainian power plants at a european, exchange price of 90 to 120 dollars to resolve the situation with the supply of coal from at that time not recognized republics tried, moscow, with the help of the poor ukrainian oligarch from the yanukovych team, sergei kurchenko, relied 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 don coal, what came of this i know, now not only the high offices, well, in every mining family , even taking into account the incredible marginality of the business for kurchenko personally, he managed to save up. uh, a little less than 10 billion rubles. debts , about 3 billion rubles wages during the kurchenko period was a disaster for the miners fled who where and

in the dpr, for example, organized for work miners recruited e, yakut fucking holding, squid, people went with their families to yakutia in the world. eh, actually. apparently. there still remain accumulated went to dolgov and among the miners they joked gloomily that they were given a salary only on major holidays. by the new year and his own miner led to major strikes in the lpr in june 2020 the miners of the komsomolskaya mine refused to rise due to battle and went on a hunger strike, our husbands. they are in the mine, they will look and defend their interests. they have one demand to give out a full salary to all miners, the komsomol mines managed to resolve the situation 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 differently way there are looking for investors to transfer the mines to business, he officials, big hopes for privatization. uh, and they hope that this privatization will allow, both to increase coal production and to close wage arrears, and at the same time, it will remove from them, uh, a headache called mines 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. petersburg, plans for the export of donbass coal to african countries were announced for the first time, 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 get out of a severe crisis and prove alternatives to the donetsk coal basin for certain segments. there is simply no market for energy resources, kuzbass is cheaper there, so to speak, and there too there are anthracites, much more, but e kuzbast. generally speaking, it is necessary to overcome half of russia in order to bring consumers to the european part or yes, who come close even to turkey and the middle east - 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 they are thinking about new export directions and large-scale market prospects, those who, in spite of any difficulties , continue to descend into the mines every day in order to conscientiously perform their hard 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 before them anna efimova valery savelyev anastasia popova is a typical novorossiya. about what should change in the hard miner's work and what can be the future step of the donbass, we will talk with the permanent expert of our program , historian and political scientist rostislav, ishchenko rostislav good afternoon. good afternoon, rostislav , 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 need for energy coal. and if we talk about

the big donbas well, that is, the donetsk luhansk region as a whole, then local coal covered 75% of the needs of local industrial enterprises according to the data. uh, to the coal miners' union, to nr - there are two problems. and this is a lack of investment and the second problem - this is only qualified personnel. all in all. i think that it will be much more difficult to solve the second problem, and not only because many cadres went to the war and in 10 years in the war, they simply died, but also because now russia is opening up for the donbass and this is just the coal of the industry playing in what -that. not a cruel joke, because hmm about that very hard work and not always grateful and now 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 during the soviet union, but both of them are not working now, because in the twenties and thirties, personnel for the mines left none the chances that they simply could not find a job for themselves were not given passports anywhere, but they were accepted to shakhty, because all this means criminals who forbade living in a large cities. this means that they also work political, who either left the camps and 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 e-e 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 is uh attracted. naturally frames, because, well, it's heavy. yes, we and the money are very large and let's say the potential in the donbass is the same. uh, donetsk was provided in the soviet union under the first categories, which was important then, because, uh, money still had to be able to. what is it to buy if something was not uploaded in your city, because it was there in the creatives of the second category , this is the money you have for me for this accident. you can't do them, so appropriate conditions were created for, uh, mining labor attracted, but, uh, now according to the same trade union. yes, uh, the salary has grown from the seventeenth to the twenty-first year on the 22nd from 12 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 can somehow influence the situation in the donbass , they are counting on what will affect, uh, they are waiting for russian investors there and they are aware that there can be no others, in principle, will russian registries come there specifically in the coal industry some quantity will come, therefore, because in any case, donetsk anthracite is needed by donetsk only a part of me, which is mined there. now about a third are constantly working in the donbass. here's everything. yo-my, mine and not the fact that they will all work next year, because again, not enough 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 ordered to live long therefore, the question is that at the beginning investors should come to the metallurgical industry and steel in the former ukrainian territories. mainly metallurgical enterprises. and there are at least some grounds for hope for optimistic forecasts and development. i can't say that the production is too pessimistic, because i already said that let's say the local youth. he does not really want to go to shakhty , respectively, reducing the number of mines, but at the same time, investors come to those that are promising from the point of view business perspective. yes, in general, he balances, local interests are less than personnel, yes, but also less. 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, electricity from coal mining will remain one of its main ones. well, that is, it can happen.

the same coal reform, about which they spoke for so long back in ukraine, the most important thing is that it will 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 touched, that which cannot be revived. 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 , 3/4 of the electricity of soviet ukraine and 20% of all electricity in the country were produced, but this industrial breakthrough in the voroneisia became possible only thanks to the selfless

the labor 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 those who knew the production from the inside themselves stood at the machine tool in the face or half shop in the mines of donbass in the 30s, a competition began to increase coal production ahead of schedule and over-fulfillment of the norms the first record holder in the 32nd year was nikita izotov, a miner of the gorlovskaya mine, kochegarka mine, he exceeded the monthly plan four times in 3 years, the miner of the lugansk mine , central termino alexei stakhanov , completed 15 norms in one shift.

he changed the technology of mining before the miner not only chopped coal, but also strengthened the vaults himself, shakhty stakhanov only worked with a jackhammer, and two of his assistants were engaged in fixing the proposal, artur supported shakhty and the record was recorded in august 1935 about this almost immediately became known throughout the country a note on reaching a hundred. appeared in the newspaper, though there were hundreds of such working innovators who at times overfulfilled the plan during the years of the first five-year plans in the donbass were hundreds of praskovya angelina, a tractor driver, pyotr krivonos, a lokomotiv driver, nikita izotov, a miner, and many other new labor traditions and technical solutions appeared where the main industrial potential of the country was concentrated the movement of the peredoviks was called the stakhanovite movement and for many years became a symbol of a creative attitude to their work on

aleksei stakhanov legends and myths around his record and life path the plot of olga mokhova, the oryol 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 irvine, 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. here and imagine what 66-72 is degree development system is inferior. the so-called here so that you don’t get killed , because 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 dry 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. the miners put aside heavy jackhammers in the old fashioned way, they worked with primitive semi -hammers, and stakhanov was not the first with bugles. 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 the power. before you start working. he always approached, and felt him, looked for a swing and began to cut, peck at this junction point , where there is the greatest tension in the cavity, if a person falls into a flare, then plast simply brings down the night of 30 to august 31, 1935. turned the whole life of both stakhanov and the entire coal industry already the next morning

dozens of miners came to record for the record at the mine , stakhanov himself introduced piecework wages instead of the 25-30 rubles laid down for the norm. 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, dusty mining, the village has turned into a prosperous city in just a few years with a large number of enterprises, the increase in residents has been year on 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 his back, and the village was given the status of a city in 1937. stakhanov is taken to moscow and he no longer belongs to himself; he

studies at the industrial academy, becomes a deputy of the supreme council, and then the war asks him to be sent to the front to beat the enemy on stakhanov’s way, but they take care of him and send him to the rear in karaganda as a chief, 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 the communist party of nikita khrushchev is a foreign communist, they asked. and where is the main worker of the country of the soviets under stalin , he was a constant companion of such meetings. what is he supposed to do? i don’t know that glasses are in moscow - i answered that where he

shouldn’t be donbass. although he and stakhanov lived 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 own record at that time already general secretary leonid brezhnev was surprised that alexei stakhanov, unlike all his followers, 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 alexei stakhanov went from conagon assistant to slaughterer from the mine itself today, unfortunately, there is not much left, that's all that you see behind my back, by the irony of fate. the central names of one of the first in luhanch did not fall under the so-called restructuring. coal industry shut it down in 1995, in the year of the 60th anniversary of the stakhanov record, a 120-meter concrete pile driver, which

could not be blown up, rises today, as a bitter reminder, just before the closure, about 20 million dollars of explored coal reserves were invested in the modernization of the mine. on it remained no less than 50 years. they say that the miners who saw on their vika cried a lot on the closing day of the inhabitants. eh, very proud. they merge their profession miner slaughterer of thunderstorms. e people who were engaged in underground work are very risky. it was a very respected and revered work. and these people know that each of us for our family from the country as a whole, suddenly at one moment turned into nobody. the mining hall of fame of the irma museum is made in the form of a root drift divided into compartments by pylons, as underground the pride of the collection is the unique banner of the best mine of the ussr, the only one of its kind in irmen. 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 scary the first five years, as i say jokingly, here are the people who stay is the golden fund. you see, there are no fakes among the slaughterers, there are no false traitors, and therefore, probably, there is a special spirit in this city. and the world of wine itself and neighboring stakhanov are still exposed to us to anyone of the museum, not just regular shelling. where on the pedestal the former oryol peasant firmly holds a jackhammer walking towards immortality olga mokhova anastasia popova valera savelyev is a typical novorossia. that's all we wanted to talk about. kirill was with you today vyshinsky see you soon.
