Essay about a beautiful woman boss. “The heritage of Russia is our women! What do you think is your main drawback?

What are they like, our Russian women?

Although the calendar shows the 21st century, in Russia women are expected mainly to have excellent qualities as a wife, lover, mother and, of course, housewife, despite the fact that it is now difficult to find a representative of the fair sex who meets all these requirements. Meanwhile, a whole generation of women has grown up who do not pay attention to Domostroev stereotypes and follow only their personal idea of ​​life. They don’t waste time on all sorts of nonsense, but simply study, work, and become professionals. Our women are brave, lucky and persistent. They will not disappear anywhere and anywhere in the world they will find something to their liking and will be happy, while remaining real, charming women.

They are said to have qualities that women in other countries do not have. They are supposedly smarter, taller, more beautiful, more determined and more inventive than women in neighboring countries. They are ready to put aside the softness characteristic of women in order to earn a decent living, and build their own careers instead of providing the rear to a strong man, as women with an archaic mentality do. Nothing stops our women. Nothing can stop them. And we, Russians, are not surprised that the world’s first female cosmonaut was the Russian woman Valentina Tereshkova, or that the world’s first female ambassador was the Russian revolutionary feminist Alexandra Kollontai.

Our Chuguev women are no exception. They can do everything and are successful everywhere: whether at work or at home, everything rests on them - sweet, beautiful, feminine, but strong in spirit. There are no tasks that our mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends cannot cope with. Our women serve in military units, internal affairs bodies, work as specialists in organizations, craftsmen in production and the forestry industry, in hospitals and schools, kindergartens and the service sector. Women - taxi drivers, employees of the prosecutor's office and banks, judges - have become a common occurrence in the life of the Chuguevsky district.

It is not surprising that the residents of the region entrusted a very important task - the management of settlements - to women too. Probably, our district is the only one in the region, and maybe in Russia, where all settlements are headed by representatives of the fair sex. With their daily work they justify the trust that the residents of the region have placed in them.

Their burden is not light, because their “households” are very hectic and require a lot of attention and complete dedication. But he. Vieru, T.S. Anyaeva and N.F. Andreychuk work without regard for personal time, and solve the problems of the settlements professionally and judiciously as women. And although work takes up most of their lives, they still remain women - beautiful and warm-hearted. Many people know them as official representatives authorities judge them by their work. Perhaps short interviews with them will help you see these lovely women from a completely different side.

Olga Nikolaevna VIERU, head of Chuguevsky rural settlement

Olga Nikolaevna, many consider you a strict and tough woman, but have there been moments in your life or work when you wanted to give up everything and allow yourself to become weak?

No, there was no such moment. I have a slightly different position in life: if you don’t know what to do, take a step forward. I am an optimist by nature and believe that you should never give up, you should always fight and move forward. After all, the lives of my children depend on me, and I am responsible for my employees. What example can I show them if I cannot cope with this or that life situation? I simply do not have the right to give up, no matter how hard it is for me.

- What principle do you follow in your work?

I have more than one – it’s professionalism, hard work and the ability to communicate with people. It seems to me that these are three pillars at the base successful work in power.

What do you think: a woman working in management ( power structure) - is this normal or does she need to take care of the housework and raising children?

A woman can work as a leader and at the same time be a homemaker, I am convinced of this. Although this is not a pattern. After all, many women are happy to devote themselves only to their family, husband, and children. I myself enjoy doing housework and children in my free time.

- IN at what age and how did you earn your first money?

I lived in a village in northern Kazakhstan, where it was very well developed Agriculture, crop production and livestock production. On the territory of the Kamensky state farm there was an experimental varietal station; every summer schoolchildren were offered work there. At the variety plot, students weeded plots of weeds, loosened the soil, counted plants - that’s where I earned my first money, I was 12-13 years old then.

- What do children and family mean to you?

My family, my three children are the most important thing in my life. For them I live, work, try to be an example to them in everything. We have complete mutual understanding with them. They study, work, and make me happy with their successes. My whole life is dedicated to them.

- How many children do you think she should have? modern woman?

I grew up in big family, I have two brothers and two sisters. And I always believed that a family should have at least two or three children. As for the modern woman, you probably mean that it is now more difficult for us to raise and support children - I don’t agree with this. Remember Russian history: it has always been difficult to raise children. Take the post-war years, for example. There was devastation and hunger in the country, but women gave birth, raised, taught and did not sit at home, worked, participated in public life.

- What do you think a mother should definitely teach her children?

Independence, determination, love and understand loved ones, relatives, respect others, be able to communicate with them.

Dear dear women! On this spring holiday, March 8, I want to wish all women: may all your cherished dreams come true. May all adversity pass you by. Let your souls warm up warm spring sun. Let only a cheerful mood and smiles of loved ones await you at home. I wish you all health, family and financial well-being, interesting and fruitful work.

Natalya Fedorovna ANDREYCHUK,

head of the Shumnensky rural settlement

- Is it easy for a woman to lead a rural community?

Of course, a woman leader has a more difficult time than a man, because a woman must think not only about work, but also about her family. Combining family and work is not always easy, but when the family understands how responsible the work of a mother and wife is, and the family always supports and helps, then no special problems arise. In addition, if we consider the psychophysical characteristics of men and women, then a female leader takes problems at work more emotionally to heart. However, in general, I believe that if a person has leadership, organizational skills, the desire to perform efficiently and well this work, is not afraid to make decisions and bear responsibility for them, then there is no fundamental difference who the leader is - a woman or a man.

Natalya Fedorovna, due to your duty, you have to make decisions and take responsibility for them. Is it difficult to be strong and confident in your abilities?

When I make a decision that concerns only me, it is much easier than being responsible for other people. More than once you will think about what to do, because your decision will affect the lives of the people you represent. And there are more than 2 thousand of them in the settlement.

- How did your career develop, where did you start?

I have been working as the head of the settlement for three years. Before that, I worked as the chief specialist of the administration of the Shumnensky rural settlement.

- What do you think your main drawback?

As my children say, I am hyper-responsible. Twenty-four hours a day, work is on my mind, especially when problems arise due to objective reasons (no funds in the budget, no special equipment etc.), you cannot do any task at all or you do it not as you should and want, but as it turns out.

- How do you spend your vacation?

I was on vacation in November - December 2012, and spent most of the vacation at work.

- You big family?

I have a beloved husband and two children. Eldest daughter After graduating from TSEU, she got married and works at the Progress plant in Arsenyev, the youngest is a student. The children are proud of me, and my husband worries about me, always supports and helps.

- Plans for this year?

Work, work and work for the benefit of the settlement.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate women on March 8th! Dear women! Congratulations on a wonderful holiday!

Let life be full of happiness and love,

Every spring day will become bright and joyful

And all your dreams will come true!

Tatyana Seliverstovna, the post that you are holding for your second term - the head of the Koksharovsky rural settlement - is traditionally considered male. What do you think a woman should be like in this position?

- You know, in the first days of spring and on the eve of the approaching holiday, everything is seen positively and you don’t want to look at it more objectively. In my opinion, both women and men need to have a lot of restraint and know a lot. This work is not easy, because sometimes a lot depends not on you. The legislative part, the execution of powers, and of course, responsibility for the well-being of our residents and for everything that happens on the territory of the settlement.

Willingly (smiles). I love life for its versatility, and everything is interesting to me. I try to get results from the work done - to work efficiently. And when it works out, your strength is restored. I love music and singing: I got it from my mother - she sang very well, whether at work or on holidays. I visit the regional philharmonic society, attend concerts, and love listening to concerts of the symphony orchestra. I try to find time to read in the evening. I like to pamper myself with homemade pies, but in our family everyone cooks: it doesn’t happen that a man who spends a lot of time in the taiga does not know how to cook. So my husband remembers that the best cooks have always been men.

I love our Ussuri river very much! We grew up on the river, and since childhood I have known all the bays, since my father and I rafted to the apiary many times, and in the evenings we returned at dusk, sometimes it was even scary. My family and friends still love to go rafting on the river. I believe that this is the most wonderful vacation, as in that song “The Current Carries Me!” If friends suggest we definitely go to the river, I always support it, and more often I suggest it myself! I love fishing. And recently I discovered another one great way recuperation: equestrian sport. In the Anuchinsky district, in the village of Novogordeevka, an equestrian club “Sofist” was opened, where competitions for the Primorye Governor’s Cup are held at the hippodrome every fall. I can handle the “iron horse” - I’ve been driving for 15 years, and now I’m mastering the skills of taming a war horse. Riding horses is very useful: you immediately get a sea of ​​adrenaline, and you are no longer tired.

And, of course, work also helps to recover. The head of the settlement must be aware of all matters, and when, for example, the villagers are preparing for a holiday, they come up with funny scenario, they are preparing concert numbers - I, too, will certainly take part in this fuss. I used to sing in the choir, but now I don’t have much time.

While I was telling you, I formulated: in order to be able to relax, you need to be able to find positivity in everything that surrounds you. If you don’t have enough money now, you can’t buy equipment to clear roads of snow - it’s unpleasant, of course. But “life doesn’t end tomorrow,” and tomorrow, let’s say, it turns out that a fellow villager has a tractor with which to clean the streets, and you can negotiate with him. Or, now, the Maslenitsa holiday is coming soon - we’re already looking forward to it!

- Tell us more about your family. You spoke so warmly about your mother...

I was born in a big friendly family beekeepers, and we are all very grateful to our parents for the fact that there are so many of us - 56 people, if we count our grandchildren. Today, a lot of attention is paid to large families, and I believe that really all the most valuable things are laid in the family. If the family foundation is strong, a strong and integral personality will grow. This is how they tried to raise their sons.

Now the sons have grown up, the eldest lives in Vladivostok, now a captain in the internal service. The younger one, after serving in the army, also tried to serve, but decided that this was not his calling: he was in technology, metal. Now he works at Dalspetsstroy in Ussuriysk. They often come home and hunt. Men have their own amusements: the sons and their father are members of the Jaguar hunting society. But we go for mushrooms, berries, or wild plants with the whole family.

I once wanted a girl so bad... But now, thanks to my sons, there are girls in the family, and you can be confidential with them like a woman. The grandson is still alone, continues family tradition- has been involved in sports (hockey) since childhood; his parents put him on skates at the age of six. Children love hunting and fishing, younger son I even jumped with a parachute - youthful dreams should come true! Let's see what will happen next…

- Tatyana Selivestrovna, you were born in the Chuguevsky district? What warm wind brought you here?

Along the way (smiles)! My parents met on Sakhalin and came to Primorye in the early sixties. In general, my father is Siberian, and my mother is from Krasnodar. I was born in Kalinovka (this village is no longer on the map of our region), graduated from Koksharovskaya high school, then entered Khabarovsk Polytechnical Institute, received a diploma in economic engineering. And then she returned, like many then, to Koksharovka. I was already married, we were expecting our eldest son, our sons were born here. We built a house and began to live and live (laughs).

- How did you manage to manage everything?

We were young. And now I want to see something interesting, without getting hung up on the almighty "We must!" family. And we don’t regret at all that we left big city. In a small village, it is even easier to raise children - there is no such fuss, and many will respond to a request for help - we are not strangers to each other. Remember these lines? “Don’t live sadly, don’t regret what happened, don’t guess what will happen - take care of what you have...”

- Do you have any wishes for the women on the eve? Women's Day?

Certainly! I wish all women health, strength, patience, spring and warmth in life. Congratulations to my colleagues, with whom we know each other so well. And I wish everyone peace in the family and loving and understanding men, the very real ones!

A woman in the village... She is both a worker and a housewife, she very often mother of many children. She does not seek recognition, does not expect high awards. Rural woman modest and very hardworking, because peasant farming does not tolerate lazy people. Keep up with everything: get up at the first roosters, manage the housework, get the kids ready for school, and run to work yourself. So, without the city noise and bustle, in difficult rural conditions, in the absence of mechanization and automation, having shouldered a heavy load of household and industrial worries, the life of a village woman passes unnoticed year after year. There are over twenty million of them in Russia. And about one of these rural workers with wonderful name I would like to tell Nadezhda on the pages of Vperedovka.

"I am a country girl"

Daktuy resident Nadezhda Volkova, nee Lakhina, is a native Amur resident, born in the military 41st. She speaks about her homeland, Ushumun, with special warmth and tenderness... She spent her childhood, adolescence, and youth there. She has something to remember, something to talk about. He speaks with reluctance about his war and post-war childhood: “... Life was hard for everyone, what can I say.” And about how in 1958, after graduating from school, I went to study and work, first as a baker’s assistant, then as a teacher in kindergarten, says with a smile.

My life cannot be called carefree, I had to work so hard,” Nadezhda Yakovlevna recalls. - Life forced me to be independent. My parents had four of us, and when I turned 18, my father died. Therefore, I always relied only on myself: both when I studied to be a baker at the Sverdlovsk school, and when I graduated from the Khabarovsk Pedagogical College. Village hardening helped. There were always animals in the flock, and more than one: cows, chickens, pigs. Since childhood, I knew how to manage the household. And she didn’t contradict her parents’ word, she respected and revered her elders, because old people in their lifetime have seen a lot of things in life and understood a lot. They won't give you bad advice. We villagers were always taught to obey our parents, that’s how I raised our children, and I tell my grandchildren about this.

Not a minute of idleness

In Nadezhda Yakovlevna’s house there is always order, cleanliness, comfort and some kind of special hospitable atmosphere. And homemade cakes will certainly be waiting for her dear guests on the table.

No matter what time of day, whether during the day or in the morning, you go to Nadezhda Yakovlevna, there are always hot pies, cheesecakes, and buns on the table,” village librarian Tatyana Shershneva praises her fellow villager. - And half the village can tell you how delicious they are! If you bake it, there will be enough for half the village, and if he plants seedlings, there will be enough for his own garden and a dozen neighboring ones. She is such a person - “golden hands”. And when her grandchildren come to her village for the whole summer, the hospitable grandmother has no equal!

But in addition to her culinary skills, grandma can sew and knit. All her grandchildren were knitted with all kinds of booties and socks by her tireless hands. Blouses, soft pullovers - everything can happen. One of the granddaughters also took after her grandmother-handicraftsman - she was named after her grandmother, Nadezhda.

But Nadezhda Yakovlevna is not only a great housewife. These skills were most useful in the profession when she, a young mother of three children, was invited to teach works at a rural school.

Teaching at school is not an easy and responsible task, the woman says. - Well, if your task is to teach a child to work: sewing, cutting, cooking - it’s quite a troublesome task. The labor teacher needs to be able to convince the children that work brings joy to a person. Therefore, he himself must be able to receive this joy from work. Only this way, and no other way.

Nadezhda Yakovlevna never once doubted her choice life path. Having crossed the threshold of school for the first time in 1972, she devoted 22 years of her life to teaching. Additionally, she led office work and a handicrafts group at the school. She worked as a laboratory assistant and secretary. Nadezhda Yakovlevna has been retired since 1997.

Among the residents of Daktuy, the pensioner enjoys well-deserved authority and support. More than once she was elected by her fellow villagers as a deputy of the local Council of People's Deputies and a member of the Women's Council, accepted Active participation in all activities of their school and village. Repeatedly awarded with certificates of honor and letters of gratitude. And yet, the most important thing in the life of an elderly woman today is her children and grandchildren, about whom a caring grandmother is ready to talk 24 hours a day.

Together in life

The family of Nadezhda and Peter Volkov has three children, three grandchildren, three granddaughters, a great-grandson and a great-granddaughter. Parents gave all children higher education. They have long since “flew away” from their native nest. Senior Andrey and younger Irina Today they live in Khabarovsk. Svetlana in Nakhodka. But every year they, together with their children, come to their parents’ house to visit their aged father and mother. And again, the large Volkov family gathers around a huge table and over a cup of aromatic village tea, devouring grandmother’s cheesecakes and pies, they remember past events and make plans for the future. For many years they live in perfect harmony: modestly, honestly, not for show. And it all started back in 1963.

It started spinning and spinning,” says Nadezhda Yakovlevna. - How Petya and I met in the spring at a friends’ wedding, he was then the groom’s groomsman, and since then we have never parted. He then often came to Ushumun to look after me, and in November 1964 they celebrated their wedding. Petya is from Daktuy, that’s why we moved to Daktuy.

You know what Nadezhda and Peter are like? a beautiful couple there was a match for each other,” recalls Tatyana Shershneva. - Both are tall, stately, beautiful, and also good people: friendly, friendly.

For fifty years now, Pyotr Mikhailovich and Nadezhda Yakovlevna have been together. Both joys and sorrows - everything is in half. But for a long time now, the main burden of household chores has fallen on the shoulders of the wife. Thanks to her patience and love, Pyotr Mikhailovich was able to recover and quickly recover from the stroke. Nadezhda Yakovlevna’s endless care even today supports her sick husband and does not allow him to despair and mope. The neighbors call it a perpetual motion machine.

“But where to go, because now you have to work for two,” Nadezhda Yakovlevna jokes about this.

But no one hears a word about what is difficult from the still strong, energetic woman. Since 1980, Nadezhda Yakovlevna and her husband have lived in a large, spacious house, and for more than seven years now, the woman has been independently maintaining order both in it and in the garden. She manages the mowing herself, and keeps the twenty-acre estate, a flowering garden and a vegetable garden rich in all sorts of vegetables, in order. In moments of relaxation, he reads newspapers, watches TV and is always aware of all events.

"I am happy"

Where does this tireless woman get her strength? How and when do you find time to relax? To this Nadezhda Yakovlevna, smiling, answers:

If I suddenly want to relax, to be alone, I sit in a chair and start knitting. This calms your nerves and gives you time to think about your own things. I also love to sew. And sometimes I go to the forest for “green oxygen therapy” and relax alone with nature.

Looking at this woman, you are surprised that there are no worries, no worries in last years They didn’t make her heart callous, they didn’t force her to withdraw. Always open, friendly, welcoming, “without a stone in her bosom,” she raised her children to be the same. Giving them love and tenderness without reserve, she receives from them in return the same share of attention and care. The children are very friendly and often visit their mother. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren love to visit their grandmother in the village.

A bright woman, a real rural worker, whose soul is open to people, and whose heart is responsive to the pain of others. Kindness and compassion are the main character traits of Nadezhda Yakovlevna, the Daktuy residents say about their fellow villager.

To answer the question: “Which day of your life do you consider the happiest?” Nadezhda Yakovlevna couldn’t do it.

“I’m just happy,” Nadezhda Yakovlevna smiles. - Every day throughout my life, even if it was not joyful, made it clear that someone needed me. More than once my fellow villagers needed my help, and I was happy if I could help them with something. At one time, my students needed my knowledge and skills, and I happily taught them everything I could. My husband, children, grandchildren still need me. Isn't this happiness? I don't need more.

Maybe these words contain the recipe for a long and happy life?

Sketches for portraits of contemporaries

The myth that women can speak about their own kind only in a dismissive and condescending tone was dispelled by the recently published collection “Women about Women.”

The idea to create such a book arose in the bowels of the public organization, the Association of Journalists "Aksinya", which just this year celebrates its 15th anniversary and decided to present itself, its beloved, with such original gift. A few months ago, the head of Aksinya, Irina Mardar, invited members of her organization to write essays about their contemporaries - about those whom they have known for a hundred years or whom they met quite recently, about young or old people who occupy high positions or who have found something modest, but very important for them. their place in life. The main thing is that the person is interesting to the author - no matter what, his biography or its individual episodes, his non-standard views on the world or commitment to conceptual principles that he himself developed, his attitude towards the profession or people. The main thing is that the heroine of the future essay should somehow surprise, amaze, or delight the author, which makes him want to write about her.

Members of the Aksinya organization (and the overwhelming majority are women) responded with enthusiasm to the proposal, especially since journalism is very close to many of them, and it seemed like becoming the authors of the collection, returning to such an almost forgotten genre today as the essay, or just trying it out very tempting. And, speaking in journalistic language, each had plenty of material for this, because there are no uninteresting people, there is a reluctance or inability to “stir up” one’s character, explore his fate, press hidden “springs”.

The presentation of the collection “Women on Women” took place last Friday in the fireplace room of the central city library, and, as often happens with “Aksinya” events, there was a twist. Along with the authors of essays about women, the heroines of the essays were also invited to the meeting. This added general atmosphere holiday... reality. Here they are, our contemporaries, real, not fictitious, not born of creative imagination. Each woman in these sincere stories is truly “ the whole world worthy of everyone's attention", each of them "lives in full height and creates his own personal history in the context of the history of a large country."

“Women about Women” is an anti-glamor publication. A woman here is attracted not by “a minimum of clothing or a maximum of bright feathers on her”, not by involvement in intrigues, scandals, investigations. She is ordinary, and at the same time, when you hold your gaze on her and focus your attention, she turns out to be not so ordinary, but on the contrary, she has invaluable experience and unique personality traits. This idea was emphasized by Irina Mardar, who is also the editor and compiler of the collection, when welcoming the presentation participants. And then each author was given the floor - about the “searches and finds” of his heroine. And the heroines, in turn, expressed their attitude towards the idea of ​​“Aksinya” brought to life.

By the way, the publication of the book became possible thanks to funds from the Global Fund for Women, and also from the publishing house “Old Russians” (Rostov-on-Don), headed by Natalya Startseva, a writer, author of the novels “In the Light of Love”, “To Me” It doesn’t hurt”, a collection of fairy tales “Tales from the Christmas Tree”. She attended the presentation and declared her love for all the heroines of the collection’s essays, who became close to her during the preparation of the book for publication. And a great gift for everyone gathered in the fireplace room, and there were not only the authors and heroines of the collection, but also members of other public organizations the cities that came to congratulate “Aksinya” on her birthday were books by Natalya Startseva with a personal signature.

All presentation participants received the book “Women about Women” as a gift. And on Monday, several such books were presented to the local history department of the library named after. Pushkin and each branch. Any reader can get acquainted with the collection of sketches about contemporary women.

LIGHTING THE LIGHT IN CHILDREN'S HEARTS

My memories of school are episodic. Just like on a film film damaged from long storage, missing fragments interfere with the full perception of the “film”, but do not harm the overall impression.

So, I remember a large bookcase in our 23rd room on the third floor of school No. 10, which we, newly minted fifth-graders, at the suggestion of our class teacher Siyana Magomedovna Mamaeva , they forced me to bring books and toys from home. I remember the endless “we write one - two in mind” - Siyana Magomedovna’s patient attempts to teach us, capable and incapable of exact sciences, at least the basics of mathematics. I remember how the whole class went to visit our school mother at home, and she was embarrassed by such loud manifestations of care and love. In all memories - Siyana Magomedovna, and with what tenderness and warmth her name warms the memory.

Our parents (my mother and the mothers of the other seventeen classmates) always believed that Siyana Magomedovna was too soft a leader for our noisy “A” class. In fact, it was impossible to catch this wonderful, bright woman in bad mood, irritated and angry, bringing to class a load of her household worries and problems. It was impossible to irritate her by hanging at the board for a long time, looking for the right way to solve a problem or equation when it was very close. And even periodic shirking from doing homework in high school did not become the very last point before a breakdown. Only a disappointed, quiet “Shameless!”, after which I wanted to hide under my desk, never to meet the reproachful, stern gaze of the teacher again.

All I wanted was not to disappoint her, not to let her down, and the best assessment and incentive to work on myself was praise class teacher at parent meetings. Sensitive at heart, sympathetic, empathetic, understanding and forgiving, she tried to keep our parents away from our school troubles as much as possible, to the extent that her gentleness and kindness allowed her to cope with them herself. How often now, when we have grown out of our 15-16 years, we miss this gentle voice of our beloved teacher, from which our souls warm and it becomes clear: everything will work out.

“Your classmate is Siyana Magomedovna? You're lucky! – we have heard more than once from graduates different years, who forever remembered her mathematics lessons. Even to the most incurable humanists, like me, algebra and geometry did not seem like God's punishment. Partly due to the fact that Siyana Magomedovna always had stories and examples in stock, after which even the most complex topics were perceived easier and more interesting. And on classroom hours more than once she became for us a judge whose verdict determined who had conflicting rights and who should apologize. Everything was decided by this calm voice and wise look - the only examples of tolerance I have encountered in my life.

Each of us had our own Siyana Magomedovna. She invariably appeared when one of her school children was ill, or there was a misfortune in the family, or when it was necessary to resolve issues that the teacher's sensitivity did not allow to discuss in front of everyone. For me, my school mother has always been a model of femininity and gentleness, a symbol home comfort and warmth. This warmth washed over you from the very threshold, if you happened to drop by to visit her, and you embraced her dearly in her arms so tightly that it seemed that you had come home, where they had been waiting for you for a long time.

Dear Siyana Magomedovna! Five years have passed since you released us, your last issue, on a long voyage. The best thing that school could give us was your lessons, the value of which you understand more and more the older you get. My deepest bow to you for this inhuman work - to light the light in children's hearts, to teach girls and boys to be adults, endlessly forgiving them for mistakes and blunders along the way. Let the warmth you radiate return to you a hundredfold every day. We love you very much - everyone who has ever been lucky enough to be your student! Happy Teacher's Day!

Muminat MAGOMEDOV.

Teaching is not work
and renunciation
The ability to give your all,
Go on a long journey
and torment
And see the light in this
and grace.

Morning. The bell rings, and the lyceum students rush to take their seats, immersing themselves in the unique school atmosphere. Everything is pleasing to the eye, everything is subordinated main goal: create for the guys ideal conditions for study and relaxation. And the main inspirer of all the affairs of the lyceum, the creative mentor of the team, its soul is the director of the Republican Classical Lyceum, Irina Vladimirovna Kartopolova. Her confidence in success fills her with optimism and makes her believe in herself.
She dreamed of being a teacher, teaching her dolls literacy and mathematics as a child, helping her classmates, imagining herself as an adult teacher, and her dream came true. After graduating from the Barnaul State Pedagogical Institute, she worked as a teacher in English in the village of Multa (Ust-Koksinsky district), then at school No. 6 of Gorno-Altaisk and, since 1993, at the Republican Classical Lyceum. Irina Vladimirovna became not just a teacher, but a real professional, constantly improving her skills and her teaching talent!
A teacher is a state of mind, a way of life, if you like. Irina Vladimirovna’s life credo: “Be able to feel the person next to you, be able to understand his soul, see the complex in his eyes spiritual world"(V.A. Sukhomlinsky).
The main goal that our director sets for himself and his colleagues is the education and development of a free and cheerful talented individual, enriched scientific knowledge about nature and man, ready for creative creative activity and moral behavior.
More than 30 years pedagogical activity left behind... Is this a lot or a little for the life of a teacher, and subsequently the director of a lyceum? Probably, for any person this is not just a period in life, but a huge journey, full of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, victories and failures... But what do these years mean for a school leader? This is constant and purposeful work on raising children, self-improvement and the formation of a unified educational space.

Here is her “Confession...”:
“A teacher gives his life to children.
A noble, beautiful, respected profession.
It is not true that a teacher sacrifices his life for the sake of children. This is not a sacrifice, but a joy, otherwise he is not a teacher. For those who go to school with a heavy heart, it will seem like hell. In fact, school is the center of life, it is the center of energy, wisdom, love, joy. How the teacher perceives school is how the students perceive it. Everything is in the hands of the teacher.
I am grateful to my school teachers who taught me to think and live, introduced me to the profession, and became an example in life.
I respect my colleagues - teachers of the lyceum, I admire them high professionalism, their wisdom, hard work, their ability to love and understand children, their willingness to give up rest in order to solve the child’s problems, their modesty, internal culture, their ability to enjoy life, the successes of children, not to be discouraged even in the most difficult situations, their patience, their desire to learn and move forward. It is their work and attitude to life that is embodied in the students of the lyceum.
I have a hard time getting used to new kids, especially eighth-graders.
snikam: awkward, unorganized, unable to organize themselves, grasping at everything but not finishing much, lacking skills independent work afraid to argue with the teacher, unaccustomed to asking questions. But with what courage do they sacrifice their free time To achieve this goal, how quickly they absorb the spirit of the Lyceum!
I sincerely love graduates! I love them for their determination high intelligence, the ability to quickly adapt in an unfamiliar situation, the ability to find an adequate solution to any problem, the willingness to take responsibility, decency in everything. They know how to work honestly, conscientiously, creatively, have fun, live with dignity, and act honorably. I believe that this is exactly what Russian citizens should be like. With peace of mind I can entrust them with the future of our country.
I thank fate that I became a teacher, that every day is filled with meetings and communication with amazing teachers and talented children.”
