Thirties after decades of official Soviet propaganda presented as a time of continuous enthusiasm.Chronicles, interspersed with episodes feature films were filled with a variety of personnel records and achievements.That aircraft with large white letters on the red URSS wings flying to the United States, at the helm - Valery Chkalov.But out of ice captivity Chelyuskinites save.Praskovya, or just Pasha Angelina leads his tractor.Lyubov Orlova is in the ranks of well-dressed workers and sings "Marsh enthusiasts".Somewhere fly locomotives sounds "Song of the opposite" of the composer Shostakovich.Smiling cotton growers in skullcaps.But the beginning of the Stakhanovite movement, the year 1935 d.
In the Soviet Union the 30s, of course, by accident, something happened.But very rarely.And an event such as the over-fulfillment of the plan for the extraction of coal miner taken separately, and not just for some 10-20%, and in fourteen and a half times, just could not be spontaneous.Imagine that a worker came to the mine early in the morning and decided to cut 102 tonnes instead of seven hard.These achievements need to prepare for, and production increased gradually.But AG Stakhanov went and gave an impromptu a mountain of coal, at least so says the official propaganda.However, this was only the beginning of the Stakhanovite movement, after 18 days it exceeded the record by more than half, chop 227 tons.The work of one man almost became effective in thirty-two times, and this without any technical innovations and investments!
Home Stakhanovite movement was to enhance productivity at all, without exception, plants of the USSR.If you take for granted labor feat of miners, the conclusion that either he's a genius or production quotas underestimated many times.But the Stalinist propaganda machine emphasizes the fact that Alex G. was not a man of outstanding ability, but the most common worker.Moreover, the present it would be difficult to genius.Despite the rigid and sometimes brutal suppression of unwanted calls, the country went rumors of conceit noble miner, his excessive passion for alcohol, certain problems in family life, and that the record of "inflated", but in fact worked the whole team.However, the beginning of the Stakhanov movement has already taken place, and countless blessings rained down on his head recently, a simple worker.He became the owner of a new apartment, furnished with the best furniture, the owner of the car, a knight of the Order of Lenin, the highest award of the Soviet Union.As for fame, she could be the envy of any modern celebrity.
After another fight in the restaurant, Comrade Stalin warned the high-handed hero of a possible change of name.Home Stakhanovite movement was so important propaganda value was lit so big, that his name is not subject to change.Noble miner subsided, but from the bad habit of not drinking declined, which, however, did not prevent him to live to 72 years of age.He met his death in a mental hospital, where unsuccessfully treated for alcoholism.
Despite the fact that high performance work financially stimulated, for tens of millions of Soviet workers at the time it was little more trouble than the beginning of the Stakhanov movement.Date August 31, 1935 became the day of the birth of the new Soviet aristocracy - working.These workers no longer fell in the face, did not get to the shops, do not drive trucks and tractors.They had another job - to speak at meetings, meetings, and special meetings.Paid to the implementation of all the other became a multiple increase output quotas to the sounds of "March of enthusiasts."
