Kirill Barabash - Air Force Lieutenant Colonel: biography, political views. Idealist and fighter
Imagine that you stopped by McDonald's for a snack and noticed a very middle-aged man among the young people. Moreover, he is not a visitor, and clearly not a boss, but an ordinary worker, like everyone else.
This picture is very unusual, but real. 62-year-old Vladimir Alekseevich Loginov, a retired Air Force colonel, works at one of the Ryazan McDonald's.
The responsibilities of the former colonel include maintaining cleanliness in the hall, replacing cashiers or kitchen workers if necessary. The main thing in this position is speed and efficiency. And Vladimir Alekseevich has more than enough of them.
According to the rules of this chain of eateries, visitors should not wait in line for more than 3 minutes, and more than 1 minute at the cash register. That is why McDonald's positions itself as a place of work for young people and students. Older people might like to work part-time in these cafes, but it is too difficult for them to adjust to the given work pace.
Vladimir Alekseevich himself admits that he got a job at McDonald’s after a dispute with his daughter. She assured that they would not take him to the cafe because of his advanced age. However, the former Air Force colonel had no problems getting hired.
The future Colonel Loginov graduated from the flight school in Lugansk in 1972. During his years of service, he had the opportunity to patrol borders with atomic charges. Later he was involved in preparing future ones. In 1987, he moved to Ryazan from Vladivostok, where he served as chief of staff until his transfer to the reserve in 1996.
Vladimir Alekseevich is always friendly and talkative with visitors; he will not only serve the client, but will also be able to advise on the choice of menu, and if there is a free minute, he will advise on a variety of issues. Vladimir can talk about everything from military history to whiskey selection. The book of complaints is full of praise addressed to him. Naturally, the management cannot but like this approach.
Surprisingly, the former colonel does not work for money. He will receive his military pension in any case. He considers himself very lucky with the team. Moreover, in his opinion, working among young energetic people and communicating with visitors is not an example better job security guard or watchman.
Perhaps someone will be happy for a military pensioner who does not want to let go of his youth, someone will be upset that people have to work at such an advanced age, someone will not understand at all. One thing is important, Vladimir Alekseevich - a real man who does not consider any work shameful, and if he takes it on, he does it conscientiously.

Billionaires in reserve
Olga ShevelFor former military personnel currently participating in rating of billionaires "F.", the army background has become a significant competitive advantage in business. Students of the Ministry of Defense - who are they?
As a result of the upcoming reform of the Armed Forces, more than 100 thousand retirees will soon find themselves on the “civilian” labor market. Some of them will traditionally go to work in private security companies. But it’s not only in the security business that the qualities of former military personnel are in demand. In the list of the richest people in Russia at least. They received appropriate education and then served in the army. Three of them with a real combat background, went through hot spots: Afghanistan, Mozambique and Angola, and have awards. But almost all future billionaires left the Armed Forces early in the early 1990s, when it became difficult to even survive in the army. For example, the salary of a combat major in the Airborne Forces averaged 300–400 rubles. In 1993, this money could buy 2 kg of sugar or a kilogram of beef.

Imprint of the past
But this is the elite. There are also plenty of examples of successful businesses created by former military personnel who are not included in the list of billionaires. Former warrant officer Soviet army Leonid Makaron founded one of the largest advertising holdings “From Hand to Hand” (“Pronto-Moscow”). And Vadim Dymov studied at the Suvorov Military School and served in Far East. After being transferred to the reserve, he managed to build a successful company producing sausages under the Dymov brand. IN management company“East Line” (Domodedovo Airport) there are also many former military men among the management.The military past leaves a certain imprint on the leadership style of current top leaders and co-owners of companies. It is known that iron discipline reigns in the office of the Razgulay agricultural holding, founded by paratrooper Igor Potapenko. One of the company's former employees recalls that the owner built a strict hierarchy. Igor Potapenko chose an authoritarian leadership style - this was closer to him due to his character and habits. That’s why many former military personnel always work in Razgulay in different positions. Some of them, in terms of the rank from which they retired, were significantly higher than the head of the group - there were even generals. But thanks to the company’s work organization system, which they adopted for themselves, conflicts do not arise at this post office. At Razgulay, when hiring, preference is consciously given to employees with military bearing.

Valuable qualities
How do former military personnel differ from “civilians” when doing business and why are they valuable as employees? It is assumed that they initially possess a set of traits that can be used more effectively.“In the retail segment, where our company operates, the knowledge and skills acquired while serving in the Armed Forces were really useful to me,” explains Sergei Tsikalyuk, Chairman of the Board of Directors of VSK. - First of all, the ability to create a team, a technological network of branches throughout our country, capable of generating profit. An essential condition for capitalizing a business in the retail segment, which is in the initial stage of development, is the presence of a long-term strategy and its implementation. All this can also be considered part of the management experience gained while serving in the Armed Forces.”
There has long been a story going around the market about how Vagit Alekperov selects personnel. The president of Lukoil, himself a reserve officer after military service at the university, first of all evaluates future employees according to the parameters “discipline” and “order.” If you put in front of him several resumes of professionals and one of a former military man, far from the oil industry, he will most likely choose the latter. An experienced oil producer, who has worked his way up from an ordinary driller to the head of a major company, believes that a person wearing shoulder straps can be trained in the skills of his specialty in a short time. But the qualities of an officer are a value formed by years of service.
Teamwork, the ability to make decisions and take responsibility for them, following the hierarchy, the desire to achieve a goal, precise fulfillment of the assigned task and dedication to the company - by and large, these are the qualities that any top manager must have to work successfully. However, in MBA schools they teach economics or psychology, they teach you how to analyze business cases, but they do not crystallize character and do not lay in the subconscious the basic values for any officer. Taking this into account, employers sometimes quite deliberately choose retired army personnel for their enterprises.
“When the clear organization of all processes in a company is a strong competitive advantage, then former military personnel are irreplaceable,” says Yuri Virovets, president of the online recruitment company HeadHunter. “They make excellent businessmen in the field of logistics and trade and excellent operating directors.” Other areas of application of the efforts of former military personnel, as the experience of employees of the Joblist.ru portal shows, are also associated with positions where strict adherence to order is required: warehouse manager, construction foreman, sales manager of technical products, fire inspector, customs inspector and others.
The main disadvantages of military people may be straightforwardness in communication and conduct of business. Due to inflexibility and inability to look at the problem from the outside, you can miss potential prospects for business development. And sometimes this quality is extremely necessary.
The scout revealed himself online
[email protected]" commissioned by the magazine "Finance." and the Vesti FM radio station studied the interest of Internet users in top managers and business owners.Retired military men who have made their fortunes are a separate caste among billionaires. They are closer to the people. And Runet users are obviously looking for information not only about the thickness of their wallets, but also about their success in peaceful life.

The clear leader in search queries was Vladimir Gruzdev. 71.9% of all those who were looking for information about former military personnel - the current top executives of leading Russian companies - were interested in his person. The explanation is simple: Vladimir Gruzdev is an extraordinary and iconic figure in every way. A foreign intelligence captain, awarded government awards for his work as a translator in Angola and Mozambique, he was not lost in civilian life either. Gruzdev is not only the creator of the popular retailer Seventh Continent. He is also the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Civil, Criminal, Arbitration and Procedural Legislation. A couple of years ago I took part in a polar expedition and sank to the bottom in a submersible near the North Pole.
Another entrepreneur with interesting biography- Nikolai Tsvetkov. Also a combat officer and lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, he served as a pilot in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Then he created one of the largest Russian investment companies "Uralsib".
It is possible that some of the requests for the last name “Petrov” are not related to the military pilot, and now State Duma deputy Sergei Petrov. It’s unlikely that Internet users were interested in his activities as a people’s representative. Rather, the figure of the Air Force major is attractive because Sergei Petrov at one time developed the Rolf car dealer, successful in a competitive market, from scratch.

THE PILOT WHO KNEW THE SOUTH KOREAN BOEING 747 IN 1983 DIED IN ADYGEA. In Maykop, a brave and sworn officer, Aviation Lieutenant Colonel Gennady Osipovich, was escorted to his final journey with honors. A TASS message dated September 2, 1983 spread across all Soviet newspapers: “On the night of August 31 to September 1, an aircraft of unknown origin from the Pacific Ocean entered the airspace over the Kamchatka Peninsula, then again violated the airspace over the island of Sakhalin. The intruder aircraft did not respond to signals and warnings from Soviet fighters.”
It was a passenger Boeing 747 flying from New York via Anchorage to Seoul Airport.
“In Maykop, a brave and oath-loying officer, an aviation lieutenant colonel, was honored on his last journey Gennady Osipovich.
A TASS message dated September 2, 1983 spread across all Soviet newspapers: “On the night of August 31 to September 1, an aircraft of unknown origin from the Pacific Ocean entered the airspace over the Kamchatka Peninsula, then again violated the airspace over the island of Sakhalin. The intruder aircraft did not respond to signals and warnings from Soviet fighters.”
It was a passenger Boeing 747 flying from New York via Anchorage to Seoul Airport.
Military officers remember Gennady Osipovich as an exceptionally decent person, a high-class professional, and an excellent pilot.
“I wouldn’t wish what happened to him on anyone,” says a colonel of the Russian Air Force Anatoly Kovalenko.
According to the memoirs of Anatoly Grigorievich, Gennady Osipovich received a combat order to take to the air at five in the morning. At an altitude of approximately 9 km, he saw a South Korean plane approaching our border.
“But there was a flashing light on it, which means it was either a passenger plane or a transport plane. He did not respond to signals. When the Boeing crossed the state border of the Soviet Union, Gennady received an order: destroy the target. Then a new order: plant. It didn’t work out - the crew didn’t react. Then another order: destroy the target. Gennady Osipovich behaved like a real military officer - he carried out the order exactly,” says Colonel Kovalenko.
When the fighter landed, Gennady’s friends congratulated him on completing his combat mission. But the next day, Western media turned the pilot from a hero into a killer. Gennady Nikolaevich was very upset that against his will he found himself at the center of a world scandal.
Thousands of Koreans live on Sakhalin Island. To save the life of the pilot and his family, Osipovich was transferred to serve in another place. In 1986, Osipovich retired from the Armed Forces and settled in his homeland, in Maykop.
Much later it became clear that the Soviet pilot was not to blame for anything. The downed passenger plane contained only the crew. It is obvious that a spy plane entered the territory of the USSR under the guise of a passenger plane.
“Then I read that at the bottom they found passports tied in a stack, tied sneakers and fragments of only 17 bodies. But 269 people were supposed to fly on the plane. Where did they go? But this scandal fell into the hands of the United States, which, thanks to the downed Boeing, fanned a global scandal, claiming that the USSR was an evil empire! The Soviet pilot turned out to be the last one,” Anatoly Kovalenko is sure.
By the way, it's official the real reason The death of the South Korean Boeing has still not been solved. The West is in no hurry to reveal the mystery of the death of another Boeing - a Malaysian one, shot down over Ukraine.”

There is no translation of the text...

Someone might murmur,
What kind of plot is this!?
You live, reader, more simply -
Here's my friendly advice!
What is their universal mind to us?
Spit on this infection!
And take it like a pioneer

Don't be surprised by anything
Let others be shocked.
Just try to remember
Like a memorized poem:
If glitches interfere with life -
You “horns” tighter in your hands -
And to hell with the autopilot!
Listen further! And so…
Belkin flipped the switches,
“Dishonored” the monitor...
MiG "eared" in pairs
So I was eager for space.
The pilot remembered the toast “To the elk!”:
“So that you drink, so that you sleep,
“So that you WANT, so that you CAN!
“So that you can fly and live!”
And under this saying,
Taking the turbines into overdrive,
Built a steep hill
And to the “box” there is a turn.
Swept under the planes
Only pennies with bushes,
At least the flight so far
It looked like a trainer.
Belkin (do you remember, reader?)
Lived without believing in mirages!
Suddenly he sees a pterodactyl
It's circling over the village!
And in claws clutched tightly,
Either a woman or a girl...
Definitely not a man
Once upon a time it’s a woman’s blessing!
And below - in the village, it seems,
Where people are crowding towards the house,
There is no excitement among the people -
Everyone is busy with their work:
Over there - Petrovich is mowing hay,
The wind carries the smoke from the stove,
And along the river bank
The men are talking nonsense.
Even grandma Nenila
Don't be distracted from small matters...
If only she had taken her mobile phone,
Seeing chaos in the sky,
Not typical for Rus',
Cooler than Jules Verne!
"Zero-one" and will arrive
Ment-winged trashschmidt!
Clear. Scattered visibility
"Million per million."
I took off the gas, “throwing away the wheels”...
He decided to ram.
Belkin - down to help the lady,
"Fluffed up with burdocks"
Having made a “cobra” over the river,
It’s like some kind of “deck boat”.
And with all the honest people
Our evil pterodactyl,
Having received a blow to the face,
I made a turn towards the cemetery -
For the aspen grove...
And I carry my living burden
He threw it into the water below him.
That's the whole air battle!
For the sake of an unknown woman
The technology has gone crazy.
Belkin too - “bones overboard” -
Into the water from a low altitude...
MiG - “for firewood” at the water’s edge...
God bless him, “minor breakdowns”
The foreigners are here
They will collect it again with a rake.
Belkin instantly stood next to the body in white...
He hugged me and picked me up:
“There is no blood, and the bones are intact,” -
Got it professional...
Profile – young, tenderly sweet,
Like that Lyudmila of his
From the coastal years of old...

Explanation of flying jargon:
"horns" - the aircraft's steering wheel. The MiG-25P does not have it. There is a handle - a “concrete mixer”;
“dishonored” - de-energized, turned off;
“eared” - I remind you, the nickname of the MiG-25;
“to sleep” is usually replaced with a more specific verb;
“slide” - climb from the moment of take-off;
“box” is a closed route. There are big and small;
“planes” - wings;
“the bushes are flashing” - a maneuver at an extremely low altitude;
“Grandma Nenila” - the heroine of N. Nekrasov’s poem “The Forgotten Village”;
“Zero-one” - a single telephone number of the Ministry of Emergency Situations;
“Mint-winged garbageschmidt” is a traffic police helicopter, as well as any Ministry of Internal Affairs helicopter;
“million per million” - visibility is whiter than 10 km;
“throw the wheels” - lower the landing gear;
“fluffed up” - revealed the mechanics, incl. “burdocks” - wheel arch liners and flaps.
"Cobra" is an aerobatics maneuver. Before Belkin, no one had done it on the MiG-25P.
"deck" is a carrier-based aircraft. “Cobra” is also not from their repertoire.
“mosel”, “mosly” - aircraft landing gear;
“bones overboard” - the same as “leave the office” - eject;
“to the firewood” - a badly crashed plane. Hence - “they made a mess”;
“minor breakdowns” - fragments of the aircraft that are collected with a rake after a disaster;
Chuguevka - I remind you, the Air Force base of the Far Eastern Military District.
Reviews
This is your funniest chapter, dear author!
They are all such evil pterodactyls from the last scientific century, and since
He himself can no longer do anything, he screwed up the girl and threw it to the naive Belkin.
Only I didn’t understand one thing, remembering the famous ditty, in my opinion the village of Chuguevo is located somewhere near Kharkov, and not in Primorye :-)))))))))))))!
On behalf of the magazine “Knowledge is power”, which means, translated from other intelligences, “there is sid, no need for intelligence”,
From the list of Air Force garrisons:
Air defense aviation units of the USSR as of the end of 1987 - beginning of 1988. – incl.
NN IAP village Chuguevka (Sokolovka), Primorsky Military District, Russian Federation, military equipment - interceptors - MiG-31, MiG-25P
Having received the encryption from the Center, radio operator Kat decided not to think down on the MIGs anymore and proceeded to immediately eliminate them, since she did not yet know anything about aliens...:-))).
With warmth and respect,
