Not so long ago the name of the famous Soviet miner-record holder did not descend from newspaper pages.He was not only a symbol of a great country, but honest work, self-sacrifice.And he gave impetus to the development of the movement, named after his name.What lies behind the person named Stakhanov?The feat?Tragedy?Or both?

feat of Stakhanov
