The upbringing of the younger generation should be engaged not only in the family. This is simply not enough. The state and society should not distance themselves from the educational process. So says Viktor Mishin, formerly the first secretary of the Komsomol Central Committee.
Childhood and youth
Each person forges his own happiness as best he can. Sometimes the skill is not enough and the blacksmith needs help. Until recently, the Communist Youth League supported and directed young people. Today there is no such organization, and Viktor Mishinovich Mishin sincerely regrets it. He himself worked for many years in the Komsomol.
The future Komsomol leader was born on May 14, 1943 in a working class family. Father returned after the Victory and got a job at the factory. Mother had no specialty and was engaged in household work.
Mishin’s biography can be called standard for the generation of post-war children. The child grew up in a difficult but friendly environment. From an early age he was prepared for an independent life. They didn’t shout at the boy, did not threaten with a belt, but in the working order they taught them to work in the garden and the housework in the house. Victor watched with his own eyes how neighbors and peers live, what problems they face, what they dream about. He studied well at school. With classmates easily found a common language. After seven classes he entered the industrial college.
Work days
In 1960, having completed his studies at a technical school, a young specialist came to work in one of the construction trusts. It was during that period that the large-scale construction of multi-storey panel houses unfolded. The scandalously famous “Khrushchevs” now grew in Moscow like mushrooms. It should be noted that the majority of people were happy with the new, comfortable housing. Mishin led the site at a factory of reinforced concrete products. He skillfully used the experience of senior comrades and achieved high production indicators.
The Komsomol-youth collective occupied the first places in the city socialist competition. In 1967, Victor graduated in absentia from the Civil Engineering Institute and received a diploma of higher education. The initiative and creativity of the superintendent was noticed by comrades from party bodies and put forward Mishin to Komsomol work. The first step in his political career was the post of second secretary of the Komsomol Moskvoretsky district committee. In the future, Viktor Maksimovich always held high the brand of a professional leader and organizer.
Today, less and less debate about what role the Komsomol played in the upbringing of the younger generation. Unemployment, drug addiction and prostitution in the youth community are now thriving. Being the first secretary of the Komsomol Central Committee, Viktor Mishin could not imagine that such a situation would develop in his native country. Today he continues to engage in social activities - writes books and meets with readers.
