Alexander Grinkevich Biography

News, June 11th was in the spring of the year. The young man came to our editorial office of the youth newspaper “Shift”, where I worked in a light cloak, and, introducing himself as the commissar of the regional student construction detachment Alexander Grinkevich, invited to a rally that the headquarters will conduct at the bust of Yu. The second training semester ends, the third semester, labor, and until the session, is time to gather and do it, and do it, make a clock and do it, and do this It is in the Smolyans known to all Smolyans on Gagarin Avenue.

Puzyryov, giving orders, was always a little ironic, had his editorial slang, knew that we love and understand his style, so I, as they say, accepted the presentation: in front - summer, and now we will have to write about haying and sports - a second portion of inspiration - much stronger - I received from the monument sincerely and so confidently burning, so strong That students, who are generally difficult to surprise with oratory, were forced to carefully listen to the commissioner.

The guy standing next to me commented: “It says, as if Gagarin swore! He always sought to be the first, experienced himself in various creative guides, behaved comrades along, did not bent under the blows of fate - and worked, worked, worked: for the benefit of power, Smolensk and Gagarin. The admiration for the name of the favorite of the whole planet and the city of his name became the main feature of Grinkevich’s active character.

Today I understand that it is convex, as they say, in public his attitude can be intuitively, and this is Sasha’s highest degree of sincerity precisely then, the bust of Yuri Alekseevich, and those children from the spring seventy -eighth were lucky: we witnessed the moment of an acute understanding by a person of his role and the goal in life in life and his awareness of how to achieve the intended one.

Moreover, in some minutes we, the participants of the seemingly duty event, became not only witnesses to the fact of revelation, but also associates and associates living a dream and a manifesting of this with a microphone in the hand of a young man. Today, the milestones of the ministry Alexander Grinkevich are the oath of the vision: one of the leaders of the construction team, he was then elected the first secretary of the Gagarinsky city committee of the Komsomol, in the direction of the Komsomol Central Committee for three years he performed international duty in Afghanistan, and worked in the City Complex of the CPSU, including the first secretary.

Since a year in Gagarin, he was engaged in economic activity, trying to be a creative and charitable character, combining it with public work in the Presidential Council under the President of the country as deputy head of the construction and housing issues, headed the revision commission of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation. Since the year, he was deputy head of the district, with GO - head of the city, appointed first deputy governor of the Smolensk region in the year.

In M, he was elected the head of the Gagarin city administration, where he managed to once again shine at the finish of his bright life by organizing abilities, the ability to attract investors, effectively develop economic and cultural ties with those cities of the planet, where the name of the city was especially honored under the leadership of the city, the emblem and the flag appeared, and with them the corporate feast of the city municipality “Certificate Day” and flag ".

I remember a large -scale interview of the mayor given by him by the regional newspaper in the year, a year called the year of astronautics in Russia. Grinkevich told reporters and readers about the capital improvement of the Center for Children's Creativity, about the top ten open enterprises, about new 2 workplaces, about tourist facilities and routes, about tactical and strategic, far -reaching plans.

Alexander Anatolyevich spoke evidence and ardently. And I involuntarily remembered that harmonious young man in a bright cloak from spring, in a matter of minutes earned authority at once at a good hundred students. The last serious conversation with Grinkevich was on March 9 of the year.

The first has just ended - the main one - the day of traditional socio -scientific Gagarin readings. In the late evening, summing up the results of the saturated reception of the astronauts, with meetings, the signing of contracts, stretching for twelve hours of the series, we drank honored tea and lively exchanged opinions, because the readings were already the forties in terms of!

I brought the collection "River of Time" as a gift to Grinkevich. The name for the book was the image of the absorbing everything and the whole time donated by the philosophical poem of Gabriel Derzhavin: the river of time in its aspiration takes away all the affairs of people and drings to the abyss of oblivion peoples, kingdoms and kings. I, signing the publication of Sasha, said that as an editor-compiler, I am preparing for printing the book “River of Time-2” and I suggest that he write for it “Notes of the mayor of the city of Gagarin”.

Alexander Anatolyevich was very delighted. Strange as it may seem, he did not receive such proposals for his entire leadership life - and promised to start work.In order to consolidate our agreement on paper, I immediately added to the autograph: I am sure that in the new editions of the “River of Times” you will appear, Sasha, an essay on life and fate, about the service of the city of Gagarin and the bright image of Yuri Alekseevich.

We hugged. Vladimir Teslin, also in the beginning of the eighties, commanded the regional building detachment and awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples for successes in this work, raised a toast for the beginning of the literary activity of Alexander Grinkevich. The glasses rang alas, these plans - a rare case for Grinkevich - could not come true. There is no guilt of Alexander Anatolyevich in that - an insidious disease struck him when he was at the peak of his creative working form.

A terrible blow, but Grinkevich accepted it courageously. And two weeks before death, news came to the hospital - the deputies of Gagarin decided to confer Alexander Anatolyevich the title of the honorary citizen of the city named Kumir Grinkevich. The doctors later said that they had never seen such a happy smile, which Sasha, who learned about a high reward, had never seen any of their patients, dumped with a heavy ailment!

Now the next collection "River of Time" has been prepared for printing. The book includes this story about a person who knew how to serve people and manage in the name of their good time.
