I have known the Smirnyagins for many years. In the Beloyarsk eight-year school, where I worked as a senior pioneer leader, senior members of this family, parents of four children, taught. Vsevolod Nikolayevich taught history, and Olga Nikolayevna taught Russian and literature.
Here I met Tamara Bogdanovna Smirnyagina, she is the wife of the eldest son, Victor. She is a young woman, she likes to participate in amateur art. As, however, all Smirnyagin. They sing well and could form a vocal group. Their interests are diverse.
Whatever take a public affair, one of the Smirnyagins must participate in it. Valentina Vsevolodovna headed the Komsomol organization of the district hospital. Nina Pavlovna, wife of Yuri Smirnyagin, is a trade union leader. Tatiana Vsevolodovna, a teacher, works with children.
Viktor Vsevolodovich worked in Beloyarskoye Timber Industrial Complex as deputy chief engineer, engaged in labor protection. He was a communist. I often visited party meetings in the forestry complex. Viktor Vsevolodovich always acted, did not remain silent.
His criticism was justified, the proposals considered. In his youth he passed a good school in the Komsomol, not for nothing that young people elected him first secretary of the Komsomol district committee. These were the years of the formation of the district Komsomol organization. The reception was going to the Komsomol, Saturday and Sunday meetings were held.
Komsomol-youth brigades were organized, conducted sports competitions, participated in amateur performances. An active life position singled out Victor Vsevolodovich among other people. He was respected. Sergei Ivanovich Kovalkov: - Victor Vsevolodovich loved the forest and fought against illegal logging. It is especially necessary to treat cedar forests. He was a fighter.
Nina Vasilievna Alexenko, teacher: - We sang together in the choir. Victor Vsevolodovich was a soloist, he has a beautiful voice. In those years, we watched the order in the streets, were vigilantes. Victor Vsevolodovich also participated in the raids.
He was sociable, kind, knew a lot, it was interesting to talk to him. Viktor Vsevolodovich is a person who is not indifferent. Whatever happened in the country, everything concerned him personally. Perestroika fell on our side, and changes took place in the state.
All this bore the pain of confusion, it was not clear to everyone how to build your life, and what will happen to the children? He met with the old Communists, talked, consulted, and ways of solving problems were. He was a leader, people believed him, followed him.
This was the case in the Komsomol.
The evidence of his fruitful work is numerous Diplomas of Honor, other awards. The son and grandchildren can be proud of him.
