Vladimir Ovsyannikov Biography

Dry biographical data. Born, worked. But how did he stay in my memories? Direct and disinterested, purposeful and sometimes helpless. I express my gratitude to Nina Ovsyannikova and my son Vladislav for the constant dialogue and the photographs and documents provided. Vladislav Ovsyannikov, son of Vladimir Vasilievich, he is the keeper of the archives of his father. Thanks to his active activity on the Internet, we have the opportunity to recall the moments of his life captured by impartial unknown photographers, in which there was always a place for us, his friends.

I decided to write a small biographical study of his fate. Fate is a concept that expresses the idea of ​​a certain power that determines all the events in people's lives. This is from a philosophical dictionary. And in my understanding, fate is the essence of the being of a person filled with aspirations, feelings and fatal events. I see in Vladimir Vasilievich the pioneer who was trying to break through the misunderstanding of others to goals, the path to which was sometimes even himself.

He infected people with his energy and disinterested aspirations, and they moved on. He has always been satisfied with what was done independently and perfectly. So at the age of ten, he climbed a telegraph pole and stands, calmly and favorably looking at us, standing on the ground. For him, this is an achievement, which many of us are incomprehensible in terms of its expediency. But it is these hidden motives that will lead him to the mountains.

Vladimir Vasilievich carried away everyone with the desire for sportsmanship and perfection. He brought the sports spirit of leadership to the mountain club and was the first to swing to achieve the title of “master of sports” in mountain tourism. This gave an impetus to many of us to strive for the same. Sports mountain tourism of those years was different from the current trekking. Then we needed to write travel reports, including a calendar plan, estimate, diet, a list of equipment, a diary of participants.

Notes were attached from the passed passes. This gave us rich experience in subsequent life. Alpinism began to develop actively and Alexander Pyatnitsin became a master of sports. Now he is the vice-president of the Federation of Alpinism of Russia. During these years, the romantic period with collective chants by the fire came and the era of bards came, masterfully owning a guitar, composing poems and songs - Alexander Denisov, Alexander Pyatnitsin, Valery Shmatkov, Alexei Burtsev.

In the year, the dream of becoming a master of sports Vladimir Vasilyevich was achieved. This is the limit of a sports career in tourism. What next? Rutin teaching was not of interest to him, although students really liked him. The candidate dissertation, in the early seventies, was almost completed, was abandoned ... All this was boring for him. Being an high -class engineer, he set higher goals.

As a high -class engineer, he longed for self -realization! Vladimir Ovsyannikov and Vasily Loiko are breaking through the path to the ski slope in the Aliplogger Alibek area. At that time, we were all fond of skiing. There were only two ski resorts in the Caucasus - in Terskol and Dombai. Every winter we went to the climbing camp Alibek, which was located in the Dombay district.

The ski slopes equipped with puppies were about a kilometer from the camp, we went there on foot, and when the snow fell, we had to break through the path. Volodya mentioned the need to create such a resort in Krasnaya Polyana. All my life it seemed to me that it was then that it occurred to him to go to live in Krasnaya Polyana and begin to develop a ski resort there. However, this thought was formed with him much earlier in January of the year, the Smirnov family, Vladimir Alexandrovich and Margarita Grigoryevna, went on a ski camp on the Lagonaki plateau.

There, at the ski base, we met with Volodya Ovsyannikov. We sat for a long time by the fire talked and drank tea, because there was just a fierce cold in the houses. Volodya “drill” about Red Polyana all evening, as a place with a unique combination of minclimatic and socio-economic conditions for the development of a ski resort. He believed that in Sochi and Krasnaya Polyana you can hold the Olympic Games.

Vyacheslav Soyer Master of Sports in Mining Tourism and in the late autumn of the year he leaves the institute and moves to live in Krasnaya Polyana, where he heads the educational and sports base of the Spartak voluntary sports society. These were two small two -story houses with wood stoves and several lifting lifts. In winter, so much snow piled up that it was possible to break through to the "ski" only on a bulldozer.

The first years of work in Krasnaya Polyana were unusually difficult for Vladimir Vasilyevich. In Novocherkassk, he was part of the motivated community of enlightened teachers, students, graduate students, and here in the village no one understood his aspirations, this brought him tremendous spiritual experiences.I remember how at times his hands dropped due to the impossibility of changing anything, but he constantly looked for his associates and moved forward.

During these years, members of the mountain club Mikhail Bondarets, Alexander Sokolov and several more people moved to live in Krasnaya Polyana. We drove families like the Komsomol construction site. One of the most important stages in the development of the Red Polyana, as a ski resort, was a radio relay bond, which was carried out by Vladimir Ovsyannikov together with Mikhail Bondarz.

In the same years, Vasily Loiko, Alexander Chernov, Nikolai Ostankov, who for the years, were leaders of the development of the Dombai ski resort, were left to develop a ski resort in Dombai. In the early eighties, Fedor Nikolaevich, Fedin, also moved to live in Krasnaya Polyana. Pyotr Nikolaevich had already possessed very rich administrative experience, a business grip by that time, since before he headed a large mining department in the North Caucasus.

And the two of them with enhanced energy took up the matter.

For the next time, they were united in their opposite - Peter Nikolaevich manager and financier was like a shaft, and Vladimir Vasilievich is a creative engineer - a panel of the flag. That the shaft without a panel is a stick, and a panel without a pole is a rag. They converged - water and stone, poems and prose, ice and flame! They were united by the dream of creating a modern ski resort on which the Olympic Games could be organized.

In the early nineties, the Soviet Union broke up, difficult times came, and nevertheless they found the strength and opportunities to create the Alpik - Service company and on the first of April on the construction of the first cableway in Russia. Vladimir Vasilievich as a general director conducted general business affairs - organized construction, and Peter Nikolaevich was engaged in the search for investments.

Confident in the success of the construction of the cable car, Vladimir Vasilievich took a loan on the bail of his house, which managed to pay off only after 8 long years. I look at these photos and they remind me of the heroic of industrialization of the Soviet Union of the 10ths of the last century. Vladimir Vasilievich with a very small team of builders carried out simply grandiose work.

When there were not enough people, he drank trees, poured concrete, installed supports for the cable car. In the year, Vladimir Vasilievich died tragically. He did not see the results of his endeavors. From the grains - two small houses of the ski base, a huge shoot of Olympic construction sprouted. Two small houses, with which it all began, appeared in grains, from which a huge Olympic construction site sprouted.

On the site of two small houses, there is a huge final railway station "Alpika - Service". The Alpika -Service cable car itself was closed and completely dismantled in the year for technical updating. A well -deserved award for the disinterested activity of Vladimir Vasilievich Ovsyannikov with a year to develop the idea of ​​conducting the Olympic Games in Krasnaya Polyana is a letter and a commemorative medal of the President of Russia, which Vladimir Vasilievich was posthumously awarded at the end of the year for a significant contribution to the preparation of the XXII Olympic Winter Games and the XI Paralympic Games of the year in the city of Sochi.

That the Alpika - the service will soon be updated and expand the tourist capabilities of the grandiose ski resort in Krasnaya Polyana. In our memory, Vladimir Ovsyannikov will always remain young and condescending, with a barely noticeable smile and a friendly inquisitive look. Author Brink Ivan.
