The biography of the measure of Samara

Biography of Viktor Tarkhov: From an interns to the director, from the regional council to the city hall, Viktor Tarkhov, residents of Samara and the region, remembered. Viktor Alexandrovich was a witness and a direct participant in many iconic events, a change of eras: from stagnation to “well -fed zero”. In the biographical essay, Rimma Mikharev, his colleague in the perestroika regional council of people's deputies, talks about the main stages of the life path of Viktor Tarkhov.

These are messages from official sources. Let's try to figure out how he was a man. Viktor Alexandrovich Tarkhov was born on January 3, about school and student years, little is known.

In the youth years, he was actively involved in sports, even played volleyball for the national team of the Kuibyshev region. Until recently, the Tarkhov “team of our youth” gathered together once a year to discuss the situation in volleyball, to recall the stormy past. Graduated from Victor Tarkhov Kuibyshevsky Polytechnic, the Faculty of Chemical and Technology. In the year he was aimed at the Kuibyshevsky synthetic alcohol plant, where he began the engine engineer, and after 10 years he became the director of the plant.

In July, Tarkhov was appointed General Director for Kuibyshevnefteorgsintez and worked in this position until the spring of the year. He elected a deputy, became the chairman of the life of Viktor Tarkhov Kruto changed after the deputy of the Kuibyshev Regional Council of People's Deputies. Its numerical composition was a person from all corners of the Samara region.

The first chairman of the regional council was elected Viktor Tarkhov. The experience of leading work played an important role, but not only. Directors of large enterprises, including Samara, were enough among the elected deputies. But few of them were ready to change their place of work. Viktor Tarkhov, apparently, wanted a larger scale. His ambitions and character manifested from the first days of stay in the post of chairman of the regional council.

He opposed sharply that the Ecologist Yuri Bubnov was headed by the Commission on Nature Management by the MP from Novokuybyshevsk. The environmental authorities had a complaint about this, and Bubnov did not suit the commission in the Commission in the regional council of Tarkhov. He promoted the candidacy of the younger researcher of one of the Samara Research Institute of the Research Institute Vladimir Emelyanov, who later took the post of Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Samara Region.

Under the leadership of the governor Konstantin Titova Emelyanov worked for 13 years, up to a year. It’s so to steer, so steering despite the formal power of the rule of the regional council, the real levers of influence on the life of the region were in the hands of the regional executive committee. There were industry units. The chairman of the regional council could not directly influence their work.

A year later, in April of the year, Viktor Tarkhov appealed to the deputies with a request to expand his powers, allowing him to combine the posts of the chairman of the Council and the head of the executive committee. Times were difficult then. In an interview recorded in the year, he said that it was necessary to "have time to press all the buttons." In the already impending times of the "free market", Yegor Gaidar and Anatoly Chubais, prices for everything rose sharply, and the ruble fell sharply.

Products in stores are gone. It was some kind of nightmare. They introduced a coupon system, but they could not be repaired. And then Tarkhov gathered his comrades of red directors for advice. And he asked them about one favor - so that in agreements on the sale of their products to other regions they included a clause that the buyer supplies a certain set of food to the Samara region.

This was called the "regional order." A month later, food products began to appear on the shelves. The excitement was shot down. You can give another example. The leadership of the Samara Luka National Park appealed to the regional council in order to resolve the issue of closing existing quarries for limestone in Zhigulevsk. Viktor Alexandrovich said that at first he should go through everything with his feet and see everything.

The deputy landing was visited by the Zhigulevsky reservation, at the Zhigulevsky plant building materials, where cement was produced from the mined crushed stone. They climbed the Zhigulevsky mountains to evaluate the scale of development. As a result, a balanced decision was made: enterprises made it possible to work for at least 10 years, during which they are required to carry out the reclamation of the worked out sections of the mountains.

A lot more interesting things were. I can judge this not in time, but as a real participant in those events as a deputy of the regional council, representing Togliatti voters. Viles of Viktor Tarkhov did not have a chance to sit on two chairs for a long time. In August, there was a GKChP. Events took place not only in Moscow, but also in Samara, where the headquarters of the Volga Military District was located.

General Albert Makashov, who headed him, supported the putschists.They recall that military equipment appeared not only near the regional television building. Makashov arrived at the armored personnel carrier directly to the Builder’s building to the White House. He demanded an immediate recognition of the State Emergency Committee, to which Tarkhov told him - remove your military, and if you want to shoot, you can start with me.

The photo archive of the Volga Komsomolets said that almost the entire regional council fled, and Tarkhov called Makashov to his office to the White House and demanded to bring the military out of the city. He screamed at the general loudly, was heard in the reception. Makashov obeyed. Yeltsin did not particularly delve into the situation in the regions and, by his decree, removed Viktor Tarkhov from the post of chairman of the regional executive committee.

Yeltsin could not remove him from the post of chairman of the regional council. In addition, he demanded to initiate a criminal case against Tarkhov. But after a couple of months, it was closed due to the lack of corpus delicti. The photo archive of the Volga Komsomolets deputies became defending their chairman, convened a session at which they decided to send a delegation to Moscow.

Already upon arrival, it became known that the decree against Tarkhov was canceled.

Without public apology. The Regional Council asked Tarkhov to stay as chairman of the Council of People's Deputies, but Viktor Alexandrovich refused flatly. And in early September, new attitudes came from Moscow: the powers of the Executive Committee of the Council of People's Deputies were terminated throughout the country. Executive and administrative functions of public administration in the region were assigned to the head of the administration of the Samara region, who began work on September 5.

The new leader was Konstantin Titov. The photo archive of the Volga Komsomolets in the walls of the regional council was rumors that a fake denunciation on Tarkhov was written by a certain, close to Konstantin Alekseevich. Tarkhov retained the mandate of the deputy, and went to the post of general director of Novokuybyshevsky refineries. Tarkhov loved aviation, and wanted to develop small aircraft in his native area, which had rich traditions in this industry.

But due to independent circumstances, the topic, as they say, has not yet taken off. In the same year, Viktor Tarkhov ran for the governors of the Samara region, but became the second after Konstantin Titov. And after all, the irony of fate: Titov had to leave the governors after Viktor Tarkhov won the mayor of Samara in the “Opposition” year. But before that, he managed to elect a deputy of the Samara Provincial Duma of the third convocation.

Then there were only 26 people in the Gubdum, including mayors of the cities of Togliatti, Zhigulevsk, Syzran. The time was difficult, the passions were boiling serious. A special stage in life is a year. Many associated his success with the fact that the townspeople were simply tired of the former mayor of George Limansky. However, few will doubt that Victor Tarkhov had a special charisma, he knew how to talk with people, felt them, not to mention a business grip.

Several large shopping centers opened in Samara, the opening of Ikei was prepared, which could not be launched from a year. He merit to himself that during his stay in the mayor’s post he managed to increase the revenue part of the Samara budget from 6.5 to 16.5 billion rubles, despite the fact that a course was already taken to turn the local self -government and the deprivation of municipalities of financial independence.

Additional incomes were sent to improvement, in particular, to lighting the city. For the purchase of new public transport: trams and buses. Then he told reporters that his receiver Dmitry Azarov did not have to rack his head for two or three years about this. It was much worse in the housing and communal sphere. The networks were not updated, neither officials nor the inhabitants showed interest in installing common house and apartment energy consumption devices.

And for this sluggishness, the Samaras have to pay more than today. The special trouble of Tarkhov’s reign is city roads. Surely, many are memorable shares in the protest of drivers who went out onto the streets with posters "which mayor are such roads." Photo by Yuri Sagittarius, and at the other end of January, when an unprecedented force fell on the region.

There was no way to get to work and back home to work because of snow drifts. The city simply got up, and all reproaches were not sent to the heavenly office, but to the mayor of Tarkhov. He did not please many, including large bosses, the relations of the Samara mayor with the leadership of the region were difficult. Tarkhov said this in an interview with another city: “I had to fall in front of the governor, but I do not like to do this, I am not accustomed.

So, it was necessary to give this place to the comrade who easily does it. ” He went to the election of the mayor of Samara, having a load of unresolved problems behind him.
