General of "polar" hardening

Vorkuta is not a military city. Despite the noticeable number of military establishments and units, miners will forever remain the main ones here. But the Arctic and the Vorkuta garrison, no, no, and yes, they give birth to major military leaders. The most famous of them can rightfully be called Lieutenant General Alexander Valentinovich Golovko, commander of the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces.
Alexander Valentinovich was born in Dnepropetrovsk on December 29, 1964. In 1981-1986. studied in a kind of "military training capital" of the Soviet Union - the city of Kharkov. There were not so many military educational institutions as in Kharkov in any other city of the country. Golovko graduated from one of the most prestigious - Kharkov Higher Military Command and Engineering School of the Strategic Missile Forces named after Marshal of the Soviet Union N.I. Krylov. At that time, through the efforts of the graduates of this university, the unaccustomed unspoken name "KRYAK" was assigned to the school - Kharkov Nuclear and Missile College.
According to the distribution, Lieutenant Golovko ends up in Vorkuta. He was appointed head of the Kama trajectory measurement station. This station is still the oldest in the Vorkuta command and measurement point. In the army, one cannot become a real military leader without going through the school of managing people. Alexander Valentinovich has everything in order with this school. In 1988, he was appointed commander of an operational and technical company. It was not the easiest choice and far from the easiest position. The service of this unit, its entire existence is very characteristic of Vorkuta. The command and personnel of the company were responsible for the operation, maintenance and repair of the high-pressure boiler house, electricity and water supply for the entire unit - for everything that is vital in the conditions of a polar city. In this position, Golovko survived both the "Ryzhkov" blizzard and the next blow of the elements, which covered the city in 1991. I am sure that even now General Golovko will easily report on the arrangement of his boiler house, decipher "DKVR" - a fancy name for its boilers.
Anatoly Vasilyevich Yakubovsky, a comrade and, at that time, a subordinate of Golovko, recalled a few years later: “In those years, after graduating from the Mozhaisky Military Institute, I served as the head of the boiler room. Every morning, leaving with Golovko on shift from the city along the northern ring, the first glance, in the direction of the unit, at the boiler room chimney. Smokes - everything is fine - the day will start well. There is no smoke - we are with the company commander (A.V. Golovko) - we risk becoming the main characters of the morning meeting with the commander.
The unit commander at that time was Colonel N.P. Kolesnikov. Fate will bring Alexander Valentinovich directly to his former boss once again in the early 2000s. Becoming the chief of staff of the Main Testing Center A.V. Golovko will again serve under General Kolesnikov. But Alexander Valentinovich will soon bypass his old commander through the ranks.
Alexander Valentinovich served in the operational and technical company for 3 years. After that, he was successively appointed head of the department, department of the ITC and chief of staff of the unit. Here in Vorkuta, Alexander Valentinovich was awarded a rare award. In 1993, he was ahead of schedule awarded the military rank of Major. During the same time, he successfully studies and graduates from the F.E. Dzerzhinsky in Moscow.
The formation of Golovko as a military leader took place at a time of stagnation, in the 90s. The usual norms and traditions of the army, and indeed of the whole society, were collapsing, the country "wandered" in search of its own path of development. Every day I had to solve a lot of questions and problems, the appearance of which a few years ago could not have been imagined. Preservation of the personnel of the unit, the qualitative fulfillment of tasks as intended, the departure of officers on vacation, the monetary allowance of military personnel - all this required the application of significant efforts by the leadership of the military collective. Previously unheard of - difficulties in clothing and food supply for soldiers and officers - a heavy burden fell on the shoulders of the commanders. Veterans of the unit recall that, for example, in 1998, the unit was paid three times (!) - in May, September and November. And in May it was not money for the previous five months, they just repaid a debt for some of the months of 1997.
In 1998, the 12-year, “Vorkuta” period of his biography ended. For so long, Alexander Valentinovich did not stay at any of the many places of his service. Lieutenant Colonel A.V. Golovko was appointed commander of the command and measurement post in Ulan-Ude, in Transbaikalia. This is one of the oldest command and measurement stations, whose combat crews in 1957 launched the first artificial Earth satellite into orbit, and in April 1961 received messages from the first cosmonaut of the planet.
In 2001, Colonel Golovko entered the main educational institution of the army - the Military Academy of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces.
From 2004 to 2007 Alexander Valentinovich - Chief of Staff of the Main Test Center for Testing and Control of Space Facilities named after G.S. Titov. For more than half a century, the Main Center has been the only military and scientific and technical formation in the country that performs the tasks of direct control of the country's orbital grouping.
In 2007-2011 he becomes head of the Main Testing Center. At this time, the process of increasing the orbital constellation is taking place, the domestic Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) is finally deployed and begins to operate in full force. The process of renewing the armed forces and giving them a new look is entering an acute phase. During these years, Alexander Valentinovich twice visited Vorkuta, in his first military unit. His second visit was especially memorable when, on September 13, 2009, he presented the military banner of a new model to the personnel of the unit. A strong friendship binds Alexander Valentinovich with the President of the cities of the Arctic and the Far North I.L. Shpektor, veterans of the city. Among them there are still those who began serving with him as lieutenants in the mid-80s.
In June 2011, there was a major change in the service of General Golovko. He was appointed head of the Plesetsk State Test Cosmodrome. Twenty-five years before, while controlling launch vehicles, now Alexander Valentinovich himself had to take part in the implementation of the direct launch of launch vehicles. One should have seen with what excitement he reported to the President of the country about the successful launch of his first, in the role of head of the cosmodrome, rocket.
December 24, 2012 by decree of the President of the Russian Federation A.V. Golovko was appointed commander of the Aerospace Defense Forces of the Russian Federation. He became the first commander of the newly created new branch of the Russian armed forces. The most important achievement of his two-year leadership of the aerospace defense forces can be called the successful launch in December 2014 of the latest Angara missile. This is the first of the launch vehicles created over the past 25 years, the first fully domestic space development. It is the Angara, with the modular principles incorporated in its design, that should become the basis for the development of domestic cosmonautics in the future.
The last time Alexander Valentinovich visited Vorkuta was in February 2014. His arrival was connected with preparations for the start of construction and deployment in the Arctic of a new military unit of the Aerospace Defense Forces in the village of Vorgashor. The fulfillment of this state defense task, we are sure, will bring General Golovko to his native polar city more than once.

An excerpt characterizing Golovko, Alexander Valentinovich

Once upon a time (now it seemed a very long time ago!) At the same huge mirror, every morning I combed the wonderful, silky hair of my little Anna, jokingly giving her the first children's lessons of the "witch" school ... Girolamo's eyes burning with love were reflected in the same mirror , affectionately embracing my shoulders ... This mirror reflected in itself thousands of carefully preserved, wondrous moments that now stirred up my wounded, tormented soul to the very depths.
Right next to it, on a small bedside table, stood a wonderful malachite casket, in which my magnificent jewelry was kept, so generously given to me by my good husband, and aroused the wild envy of rich and capricious Venetians in those distant, bygone days ... Only today this box was empty... Someone's dirty, greedy hands managed to "remove" away all the "brilliant knick-knacks" stored there, evaluating in them only the monetary value of each individual thing... For me, it was my memory, these were the days of my pure happiness: the evening of my wedding ... the birth of Anna ... some of my long-forgotten victories or events of our life together, each of which was marked by a new work of art, to which only I had the right .. These were not just “stones” that were expensive, it was the concern of my Girolamo, his desire to make me smile, and his admiration for my beauty, which he was so sincerely and deeply proud of, and loved so honestly and ardently ... And now now These pure memories were touched by someone's lustful, greedy fingers, on which, huddled, our outraged love wept bitterly...
In this strange “resurrected” room, my favorite books lay everywhere, and by the window, the good old piano was waiting sadly alone ... On the silk bedspread of the wide bed, Anna’s first doll smiled cheerfully, which was now almost the same age as her unfortunate one, persecuted mistress... But the doll, unlike Anna, did not know sadness, and an evil person could not hurt her...
I roared from unbearable pain, like a dying animal, ready for its last deadly jump... Memories burned out the soul, remaining so marvelously real and alive that it seemed that the door would open right now and the smiling Girolamo would start talking right “from the threshold” with enthusiasm the latest news of the past day... Or cheerful Anna will burst in like a whirlwind, pouring an armful of roses on my knees, saturated with the smell of a marvelous, warm Italian summer...
It was OUR happy world, which could not, should not have been within the walls of the castle of Caraffa! .. It could not have a place in this den of lies, violence and death ...
But no matter how indignant I was in my soul, I had to somehow pull myself together in order to calm my jumping heart, not succumbing to longing for the past. For memories, even the most beautiful ones, could easily cut off my already rather fragile life, not allowing me to end Caraffa ... Therefore, trying to somehow “protect” myself from the dear, but at the same time deeply hurting soul memory , I turned away and went out into the corridor ... There was no one nearby. Apparently Caraffa was so confident in his victory that he did not even guard the front door to my "chambers". Or vice versa - he understood too well that there was no point in protecting me, since I could “leave” him at any moment I wanted, despite any efforts and prohibitions he made ... One way or another - no stranger there was no presence, no guard outside the door of "my" chambers.
Longing choked me, and I wanted to run away without looking back, just to get away from that wonderful ghostly world, where every memory that surfaced took a drop of my soul, leaving it empty, cold and lonely...
Gradually recovering from the “surprise” that had fallen so unexpectedly, I finally realized that for the first time I was walking alone along the wonderfully painted corridor, almost not noticing the incredible luxury and wealth of the Karaffa palace. Before that, having the opportunity to go down only to the basement, or to accompany Karaffa to some meetings of interest to him alone, now I was surprised to look at the amazing walls and ceilings, completely covered with paintings and gilding, which seemed to have no end. It was not the Vatican, nor the official papal residence. It was just Caraffa's personal palace, but it was in no way inferior in beauty and luxury to the Vatican itself. Once upon a time, I remember, when Caraffa was not yet the "holy" Pope and was only an ardent fighter against the "spreading heresy", his house was more like a huge fortress of an ascetic who truly gave his life for his "just cause", no matter how it was not absurd or terrible for the rest. Now he was the richest, “tasting” (with the pleasure of a gourmet!) his boundless strength and power, a man ... who too quickly changed the way of life of a true “monk”, to the light gold of the Vatican. He still firmly believed in the correctness of the Inquisition and human bonfires, only now they were mixed with a thirst for the enjoyment of life and a wild desire for immortality ... which no gold in the world (to everyone's happiness!) could buy him.
Caraffa suffered ... His temporarily lasting, bright "youth", presented once by a strange "guest" of Meteora, suddenly began to leave very quickly, causing his body to age much faster than it would have been if he had not tried deceitful at one time " present"...
Even so recently fit, slender and youthful, the cardinal suddenly began to turn into a stooped, drooping old man .... A whole "bunch" of his personal doctors panicked! the disease devours their beloved "holiness"?.. But there was no answer to this. And Caraffa was still aging “acceleratedly” before his eyes ... This infuriated him, forcing him to do the stupidest things, hoping to stop the time that was running away, which with each new day, transparent grains, ruthlessly flowed through his aging, but still very beautiful, thin fingers. ..
This man had everything... His power and authority extended to all Christian kingdoms. Lords and kings obeyed him. He was kissed by the hand of the princess... And for all that, his only earthly life was approaching sunset. And the thought that he was helpless to change anything drove him to despair!

From 09/26/2017 Aerospace Forces ()

Colonel-General Surovikin, appointed to this position on November 22, 2017, is in no hurry to change into a blue uniform - judging by recent

His place at the boards and meetings in Moscow is occupied by General Dronov. Therefore, personally remained:

If the problems of reforming the Aerospace Forces required the appointment of a land general, then why is he marinated?

If the military-political situation in the SAR requires the long-term presence of a specific Severe General, then why appoint him in absentia as the chief "in air and space"?

In the meantime, I believe, the Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces is in anxious expectation.

The deputy commanders-in-chief of the VKS are anxiously waiting:

(photo below)

Two "pilots" - and Yudin

Two "air defense" - Humenny and

Two "cosmonauts" - Golovko and Kazakevich

And it is not known where it came from - .

The most unexplored environment by Yandex is at the position deputy commander for armaments. I don’t even know if such a position has been preserved? The Internet with grief in half found us two people:person who looks likeColonel Medvedkov A.N., and a person who looks likeColonel Miruk K.V.Both come from the Air Force weapons structures; but what if the new commander-in-chief wants to see an engineer of armored vehicles in this position? :)
