Over a hundred years ago, a "new type of party" was created. It is known to our contemporaries by the abbreviation CPSU. Of course, during the course of their existence, members of the very “new” party became bourgeois and lost interest in building a just society. Today, the Russian Communists are once again united in a parliamentary structure and are trying to somehow protect the rights of the oppressed and destitute. Yes, in modern Russia, there are 22% of people who live below the poverty line. Who can protect their interests? And can this be done within the existing system? The deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Nikolai Mikhailovich Kharitonov knows some answers to urgent questions.
Agrarian of Siberian Kneading
In recent years, talk about the food security of our country has become increasingly common. The initiators are parliamentary structures and government departments. For discussions in this context, there are good reasons. The Russian Federation annually increases the import of palm oil and other food products. At one time, the Soviet Union completely provided the people with food. Yes, normative caloric intake was achieved through potatoes and bread, but there was not enough sausage. Today, it is necessary to import potatoes from Arab countries. State Duma deputy Nikolai Mikhailovich Kharitonov considers the current situation extremely dangerous.
Kharitonov knows how to engage in agriculture firsthand. The biography of the deputy clearly shows his entire career as a worker in the agricultural sector. Nikolai Mikhailovich was born on October 30, 1948 in a peasant family. Parents worked on a collective farm. Like every rural child, from an early age he tried to help the older household. Chopping wood, applying water from a well was common. Such work did not bother. At school, the boy studied well. After the tenth grade, he entered the Rural Vocational School and received the qualification of "a wide-profile machine operator."
In 1967, he decided to get a specialized higher education and became a student at the Novosibirsk Agricultural Institute. Mother and father did not mind and were even glad that their Kolka made a difficult, but the right choice. The fact is that the entire territory of Siberia, including the Altai Territory and the Novosibirsk Region, belongs to the risky farming zone. Drought, frost, torrential rains do not contribute to abundant harvests. Nikolai Kharitonov knew all this, and he purposefully learned to become an agronomist. He learned and returned to work at the Bolshevik state farm.
To manage a large farm in the agricultural sector of the economy, you need a solid character, flexible intelligence and experience in rural life. Nikolai Kharitonov assumed the post of state farm agronomist. Some skeptics did not miss the chance to instruct the young specialist, and quoted him a cruel joke: "If there was rain, there would be thunder, and the agronomist would not need it." Of course, in this joke there is some truth, but negligible. Two years later, the agronomist becomes the director of the state farm and takes the farm to first positions in the regional competition.
Reconstruction and reconstruction
For eighteen years, Nikolai Mikhailovich Kharitonov led the state farm. The peculiarity of the enterprise was that it was located near the regional center. It was possible to retain qualified specialists only with a high salary and comfortable living conditions. The director spared no effort and money to create and develop a social structure. A school, a hospital, a stadium and a house of culture were built at the expense of the state farm. It is interesting to note that the weather conditions at Kharitonov's farm were always favorable. Never in all the time has the grain crop "gone under the snow."
In the early 90s, when the situation in the economy began to change, rural residents, remembering Kharitonov's contribution to the development of the village, elected him deputy of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR. The cataclysms on the political Olympus negatively affected the grassroots links in the farms. The once-famous Bolshevik state farm was transformed into the Galinskoye Joint-Stock Company. Organizational procedures for the better did not affect the yield of vegetables and the productivity of the dairy herd. Rather, the opposite. People began to leave the village. Similar processes were observed throughout the country.
In order to slow down the destructive processes and turn the tide in the countryside, in 1993 the Agrarian Party of Russia was created. Nikolai Kharitonov takes an active part in organizational affairs and becomes the deputy leader. Party building requires tremendous effort, time and financial resources. Farmers are forced to block with the Communists. When in October the situation around the White House, where the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation was sitting, escalated, Nikolai Kharitonov organized food supplies to besieged deputies. He managed to escape persecution for his courage and resourcefulness. Although he never hid his views and preferences.
