Alexey Stakhanov ( Russian Алексей Григорьевич Стаханов , scientific. Transliteration Aleksej Grigor'evic Stakhanov , December 21 * 1905 . Jul / 3. January  1906 greg. In Lugowaja in Oryol , †  5. November 1977 in stores in Donetsk ) was a Soviet Miner . He promoted on 31 August 1935 as Hauer in a coal mine in the Donets Basin 102 tons of coal in one shift. That was 13 times the labor standard applicable at the time.

As a result, unions and the WKP (B) organized the Stakhanov movement to increase labor productivity in the Soviet Union and made him a model worker.

Following the example of Stachanov, the Soviet occupation zone initiated the activist movement in 1948 when the miner Adolf Hennecke over-fulfilled the plan .

Life

Stakhanov attended school for a total of three years in winter. At the age of 20 he came to the Donets Basin and started as an unskilled worker in the Zeche Zentralnaja Irmino in 1927, then became a chipper and climbed into the league of "shock workers" with the examination of the so-called "state technical minimum" and one on the handling of a modern hammer “( Udarniki ) on. His daily mining norms were already ten to twelve tons instead of the usual seven tons.

For his record performance he received a bonus equal to one month's wages, a new house with a telephone and fine furniture, a spa stay and, with his wife, a place of honor in the clubhouse.

After his record, he became head of the Socialist Competition Department in the Ministry of Coal Industry. A worsening alcohol problem and ensuing incidents eventually led to an ultimatum to leave Moscow within 24 hours. He then worked as an assistant to a mine engineer. He had to stay away from the all-union conference on the fortieth anniversary of the Stakhanov movement.

Stakhanov died lonely and depressed as an alcoholic.

Awards

Stakhanov was celebrated by the Soviet leadership as a human role model and in 1970 received the order of " Hero of Socialist Labor ". After his death in 1978, the eastern Ukrainian city of Kadijiwka was renamed " Stakhanov ".
