Engaging in politics during the transition from socialism to capitalism is dangerous to health. Vladimir Pavlovich Polevanov felt this from his own experience.
The path to the profession
At the beginning of his professional career, the doctor of geological and mineralogical sciences did not think that he would have to engage in political activities. Vladimir Pavlovich Polevanov was born on November 11, 1949 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents at that time lived in Kharkov. My father worked in the turning shop of the famous Hammer and Sickle Factory. Mother - a nurse in a clinic. A child from a young age was accustomed to independence and responsibility for their actions and deeds.
Vladimir helped the housekeepers. Work in the garden did not bother him at all. He knew how to care for livestock and managed this business on his own. At school, the boy did well. He actively participated in public life. I did sports. He was friends with classmates. On the street I did not give offense. The teenager watched how his peers live, and what goals they set for themselves in the future. Already on a school bench, Polevanov decided that he would be engaged in geology. In 1966 he received a certificate of maturity and entered the geological faculty of a local university.
Steep route
Biography of Vladimir Polevanov evolved according to the standard scheme. Having received a diploma of higher education, he expressed a desire to exert his strength in the northern territories. After some preparations, he was sent to the infamous Magadan province. The young specialist arrived at his workplace as a mining foreman in a gold mine. It is important to note that Polevanov at all posts showed a high level of competence and organizational abilities.
He did not make a career, but sought to increase labor productivity, and reduce the accident rate of mining. Vladimir Pavlovich creatively approached the solution of tasks. His rationalization proposal allowed to increase the rate of penetration by almost three times. At the same time, he achieved an increase in wages for miners-miners. A few years later he was appointed to the post of chief expedition geologist. Soon after this, Polevanov defended his thesis.
