The head of the All-Russian Railway Frolov biography. "Key element

In violation of all regulations, the head of the East Siberian Railway (VSZhD) Vasily Frolov indexed contracts with "close" companies.

The Russian railway department did not get rid of corruption scandals and after Vladimir Yakunin left his post. The leadership of the railway monopoly is still quite free with budgetary funds, often concluding contracts without tenders and competitions required by law. In this area, tens and hundreds of millions of rubles disappear every year.

At the beginning of 2014, the leadership of the East Siberian Railway (VSZhD) signed several contracts (No. 218/OKE-V-SIB/14 No. 222/OKE-V-SIB/14, No. 212/OKE-V-SIB/14) worth almost 1 billion rubles (977,449,104.78 rubles, to be exact) for the provision of cleaning and maintenance services for the facilities of the Higher Railways until the end of 2016. All these services under the railway contracts were supposed to be provided by a certain STB LLC (TIN 7717694651). The piquancy of the situation lies in the fact that - according to a number of sources - the beneficiary of this company is Andrey Anatolyevich Demidov, who previously worked ... as an adviser to the head of the East Siberian Railway, Vasily Frolov!

Frolov himself was appointed to his post in 2011 with the wish to "fulfill the parameters of the network budget" and increase the efficiency of the work of the Eastern Railway. In mid-2015, STB LLC suddenly became puzzled by the problem of indexing the cost of its services, although there was not a word about this in the contracts. Despite this, the enterprising Mr. Demidov managed to convince high-ranking officials of the East Siberian Railway of the need to increase the cost of services under contracts.

In particular, he enlisted the support of the first deputy chief of the road for finance, M.V. Panov, who gave instructions to "work out the issue" to the head of the DEZ of the All-Russian Railways A.I. Gantar and the head of the Irkutsk Center for the Organization of Procurement Activities A.V. Sulla. O.V., head of the Russian Railways Central Control Commission, agreed with his arguments. Kirillov.

As a result, on February 11, 2016, Vasily Frolov signed a number of additional agreements to previously concluded agreements with STB LLC, and some documents were issued retroactively (dated October 1, 2015). total cost work was increased by 40 million rubles, and the additional agreements were not published in violation of the established procedure on the procurement website of Russian Railways ().

All this may indicate damage to the budget of Russian Railways and become the subject of an investigation into a corruption conspiracy.

This is the measure of responsibility, the goal and the main duty of the head of the station and his team.

But there is no team, however, as well as responsibility. But there is a blatant formalism and completely collapsed performing discipline.

I came to this conclusion while analyzing the emergency that happened on February 1 at the Irkutsk-Sortirovochny station. And literally the following happened (I’ll call it “the broken phone of the station duty officer and the locomotive driver”): the station duty officer gave an incorrect and, as the analysis showed, a meaningless command to the driver, he misunderstood it, and the same duty officer confirmed the execution of this abracadabra: “ Right. Do it." The driver was not even familiar with the shunting work plan. But there is no plan - the locomotive will not move, as it would be right for him to judge and correct his colleague.

As a result, the main electric locomotive collided with the tail of the organized train, followed by the derailment of the cars within the station. A careless man-made case prompted disturbing thoughts. Not a single barrier worked, meaning the obstacles in the form of controllers of their actions.

Having studied the material, I came to the conclusion: the prerequisites for this state of emergency were formed for a very long time. And there are many reasons for that. But first of all, they are associated with illiterate personnel management, which raises big questions for the command staff of the road. How could one reconcile, in fact, with the already uncontrollable situation at the station?

Just think about it. The main culprits: station duty officer - a trainee, in office since January of this year; the driver - was repeatedly removed from the control of the locomotive and fell into the risk group. Their curators - the driver-instructor and the mentor on duty at the station - did not actually deal with them, did not control their actions, showed formalism in matters of training, thus the wards were left to their own devices. Let's go higher. Of the nine plant managers, only two have been in office for more than a year. Five managers were appointed in the 4th quarter of 2016, as, in fact, the head of the station himself. In fact, three deputy head of the station are busy with other jobs. One of them, by order, is listed as a trainee and, with all his leadership abilities, he cannot administratively influence the situation, and he himself does not bear responsibility in this situation.

Based on this alignment of forces, no one needs operational work and traffic safety. Weakened command staff of the Irkutsk-Sortirovochny station, personnel leapfrog and complete demoralization of employees from top to bottom.

Why am I doing all this? Why did you decide to address all employees with this topic? Such actions are a direct threat to the safety of train traffic, and therefore affect the work of all departments, all

road personnel.

Ensuring safety for railway workers is not just a production task, but also a fundamental value to which all the work of Russian Railways is subordinated. The main reason for the accident is the omission in preventive and personnel work to prevent accidents in the infrastructure. I note that this does not require financial investments, but depends only on the employees themselves and their attitude to work.

In this regard, it is very important to increase the personal responsibility of everyone for their actions.

The basic rule of personnel management is to form personnel potential. What the lack of a personnel reserve has led to is indicatively demonstrated by this case. The bench must be replenished all the time, for this it is necessary for experienced employees to transfer knowledge to young ones, and for the headquarters of the road to support new leaders, to facilitate their adaptation

and becoming.

Therefore, I ask each department, especially the line level, to pay attention to the placement of employees in key positions, their effectiveness in their positions, to try to find an individual approach to everyone, to aim the team at achieving a common result.

Vasily Frolov, Head of the East Siberian Railway

If we trace his childhood, we get the following. When Vasily was one year old, his father was called to active service in 1910, and they met for several months at the end of 1917, then his grandfather went into civilian life, returned at the end of 1920 or early 1921, when Vasily was already 11 years old - before that grew up without a father.

Vasily's mother, Maria, died when he was 4 years old - he was under the supervision of Anna Artyomovna and grandmother Matryona. Grew up with his cousins ​​and second cousins. According to the stories, the closest relations were with Fatey, Lazar, Isaac, with the neighbor boys Starichkov Fatey Savelyevich, Repnikov Nikifor Agapovich and others.

For two or three years, the stepmother Anisya Maksimovna had an educational influence on her father, and then, from about 1925, the second stepmother, Agreppina Grigorievna.

My father went to school, approximately, from 1916, we do not know how many classes he completed. Then he worked in household Fedor Sidorovich. They worked hard, the children grew up quickly. Alexandra Grigorievna Repnikova showed us a photograph (a copy was made) of her husband, Nikifor Agapovich, and my father. They were photographed in 1925 at the age of sixteen, but they look like adult men. Sixteen-year-old guys are dressed extremely simply: white shirts for graduation, belted with thin belts, trousers and boots. On this occasion, they are dressed in their best, festive clothes.

At the age of 17, my father got married. At first, grandfather Fyodor looked after the wife of Vasily, the daughter of the Alifanovs - Khavrosha, from the Verbovka farm. But it turned out that the other grandfather was Fedor Seliverstovich ( cousin Fedor Sidorovich and his godfather), identified Khavrosha for his son Lazar. As Varvara Fedorovna put it: "Let's go vying."

All disputes were resolved by my father, Vasily Fedorovich, who firmly stood on his choice: "Woo Anastasia Kharlamova, and that's it."

Fyodor Sidorovich asked Fyodor Seliverstovich for forgiveness for the “interruption” and went to woo his mother, Anastasia Danilovna. Mom was older than father by one year.

Both families adhered to the Christian faith, but the Frolovs were Old Believers. The question of faith was a very serious matter. Afanasy Nikitich Viflyantsev said that his family had a mixed faith and at his baptism the matchmakers argued for so long that it came to the stanitsa ataman. The victory was won by one or the other family. Afanasy Nikitich was baptized three times: the first time according to the new faith, then according to the old one, and again according to the new faith.

Our family was also mixed in faith, disputes also arose: which of the young to which faith to pass. The father gave in. The wedding took place in secret from the grandfather in the Kargalsko-Belyanskaya church. Father's transition new faith brought a serious discord in the relationship between grandfather and father, they long time didn't even talk. They tell such a case. Father worked in the field, grandfather did not even send food to him. My father came home, did not see anyone, killed a few chickens, and, apparently, did not put out the fire on which he tarred the chicken carcasses, the barn burned down. They told grandfather that Vasily was there, he was smiling at the chickens on the fire, and the barn caught fire, the grandfather only waved his hand: “Oh, okay!”.

My mother's sister, Vera Danilovna, said: my father went to the priest in Nikolaevskaya for initiation into a new faith, and while the priest was reading a sermon to him, the father suddenly thought, how will the young wife spend the night alone today? Stop, father, with a sermon, mounted a horse and galloped home. Youth has not yet firmly established faith in God.

Naturally, the disagreements between the father-in-law and the husband deprived the mother of peace of mind. After much thought, in order to bring peace to the family, to restore good relations between father and son, my mother decided to become an Old Believer. When she informed her father-in-law about this, Fedor Sidorovich knelt before his mother and thanked her for such a decision. A dashing grunt who went through two wars, imperialist and civil, was awarded the St. George Cross three times. The most authoritative person in the farm, proud and proud, did not hesitate, did not consider it a humiliation for himself to kneel before his daughter-in-law, who was practically still a girl. One could give up on a burnt-out barn, but faith is a sacred, serious matter, it’s not shameful to kneel in front of a daughter-in-law.

And Lazar Fedorovich married Khavrosha, she gave birth to three children, one daughter and Khavrosha died in 1933 from starvation.

In 1927, on December 10, my older sister Anna Vasilievna was born, and on April 7, 1931, my brother Ivan Vasilyevich was born.

In 1932, grandfather Fyodor found out that he was on the list for eviction along with his family, gathered all the household members and left for Dagestan, the city of Khasavyurt.

Vasily, with his wife and children, brother Nikolai, returned in 1932. Nikolai Fedorovich lived in his brother's family until 1939.

They bought an adobe dugout, worked on a collective farm, appointed their father as an accountant, then sent them to accounting courses in Konstantinovskaya, it was in 1935. While my father was studying, I already existed in the world, Vladimir Vasilievich, I was born on February 26, 1936. Mom told me that she took me, nursing, to work in the field. While my mother worked, the foreman carried me in his arms, the sun had a favorable effect - I had a good tan.

After completing the accounting courses, my father was sent to the Semikarakorsky district, and my mother moved with her children and Nikolai Fedorovich. Parents lived in other people's apartments - on the first lane near the Sazonovs, then their father was sent for one year to Zolotarevka, where he worked as an accountant in the trading bush of the Semikarakorsky district consumer union. Then my father was appointed an accountant for a procurement office in Semikarakorsk, then we lived on Lane 13 near the Makeevs, along Kalinina Street, the house still stands to this day, although the owners have changed, and the house has become extremely dilapidated. Valentina Vasilievna was born in Semikarakorsk on March 1, 1939. In the autumn of 1940, my father bought a small adobe hut at 55 Kalinina Street. small room and corridor (closet). It is difficult to say how our family fit in this dwelling - there were already six of us.

My father was going to renovate his apartment, replace the chakan roof, add another room, raise the ceilings.

Two months before the start of the war, my father was appointed chief accountant of the Semikarakorsk regional consumer union, and on July 2 he was drafted into the army.

Mobilization began immediately after the declaration of war. The farms and villages of the Don hummed like a disturbed beehive. Conscripts flocked to the banks of the Don in streams, sent them to Rostov by steamboats. Fathers, sons, grandfathers went into obscurity, mothers and wives with small children remained - in twenty years of peaceful life, many of them were born. Seeing off was noisy and a lot of bitter tears were shed, and vodka left in boxes.

Relatives have preserved the only photograph of wires to the front (August 1941), 72 years have passed since that time and it is possible to trace the fate of the people captured in the photograph. Lazar Fedorovich Frolov (on the far right) and his wife Maria do not yet know that they are parting forever. Trifon Efimovich Kargalsky (in a cap) does not yet know that he will pull out the already killed Lazar from a broken tank. Trifon and the brothers Grigory (sitting on the far right) and Kalin (in a white shirt with rich hair) Frolov will pass along the roads of war and return to their native farm. Fatey Savelyevich Starichkov will return (a childhood friend of my father, sitting next to Grigory Fedorovich). After the war, Pyotr Mikhailovich Eliseev (standing on the far left) will work at the mill. After the war, she will marry a front-line soldier Matryona Grigoryevna Makarova (Frolova), second from the right in the bottom row. In 1976, Yakov Lazarevich Frolov died as a result of an accident, in the bottom row in the center he folded his fingers into the lock. Maxim Fateevich Starichkov will become an officer, wearing a cap in the bottom row. Third right in a suit is Afanasy Nikitich Viflyantsev.

There are twenty-six people in the photo. Look at their faces, their simple clothes, the unsightly hairstyles of women. Photo of only one send-off to the war, and how many there were!

At the Semikarakorsk pier, my mother saw off my father with Anna and Ivan, Valentina and I stayed at home under the supervision of neighbors. No matter how hard I try, I can’t remember how my father said goodbye to his younger children.

My father underwent military training in Rostov, near the Zmeevskaya beam. Mom once managed to visit her father in Rostov, a car came to Semikarakorsk for groceries, and the supplier turned out to be familiar. Went with my mother and other women to their husbands. All the servicemen immediately left the unit, and my father was gone for a long time, he was on guard duty that day. Came to the meeting only in the evening.

What the parents talked about for the last time in their lives, one can only guess, and did they assume that this was their last date?

Mom said that my father was still lamenting: how will you live with four small children. Anna was in her thirteenth year, Ivan was in his eleventh, I was in his sixth, and Valentina was in her fourth. My father advised my mother to sell all his clothes, everything valuable that was left in the family, and buy a cow.

When it was already dark, the father was called to the unit, when parting, a cap fell from his head, caught on a branch, in the dark his parents looked for her, and then said goodbye forever.

My parents got married for love, my father was kind, sincere, calm person, “He never said a rude word to me and addressed me not by name, but by the word“ dear, ”my mother recalled.

Alexandra Grigoryevna Repnikova told us: “They were beautiful, both Vasily and Styura (Anastasia). They used to go to church in festive clothes - people stared.

AT last years In her life, my mother often told us: “I don’t dream about Vasya, but I really want to see him at least in a dream.”

After accelerated military training, the newly minted warriors were thrown into battle. Between Taganrog and Rostov, during the first liberation of Rostov from German invaders in the area of ​​the village of Sinyavka, my father was wounded. According to the stories of colleagues, the bullet passed through the flesh of the leg below the knee without hooking the bone. My father walked six kilometers to the hospital on his own, bandaging the wound with a piece of his undershirt and leaning on a rifle. From the hospital, along with other wounded Red Army soldiers, they were sent by train to Kislovodsk.

We really wanted to know what happened to my father in the Kislovodsk hospital, in December 1941 my mother received a funeral, it was reported: “Private 38 regiment of the NKVD troops, Frolov Vasily Fedorovich died of wounds on December 9, 1941 and was buried in Kislovodsk.” How is it, a wound in the leg, but died of wounds in the hospital.

Why wasn't the leg amputated? Saved for future fights? Or did something else happen? Now do not know.

We made inquiries to the Podolsky military archive, then the head of the Semikarakorsky district security service, a participant in the war himself, Nikolay Ilyich Moiseenko, our post-war neighbor, joined in, made a request from the security service. Monotonous answers came: “Frolov Vasily Fedorovich was drafted into the ranks of the Red Army from Art. Semikarakorskaya, st. Kalinina, 55. There is no other information.

We were looking for my father's grave at the Kislovodsk Memorial Cemetery. In the winter of 1972, I rested in Kislovodsk, walked around the cemetery for two days, walked around all the graves, read all the inscriptions on the graves, but did not find my father's grave.

In 1974, we went to Kislovodsk with my mother, sister Anna and son Sasha to look for the grave of my father and grandfather. I thought I didn’t find it in the winter, maybe we’ll find it in the spring. And again failure. The thing is that the father was buried before the occupation of Kislovodsk by the Germans, and the cemetery was put in order after the liberation of Kislovodsk, and they began to keep records of the graves from 1943.

The cemetery appeared before us well-groomed, in flowers (we were there on May 8), each care grave was assigned to the residents and organizations of the city, on each grave there were signs indicating the last name, first name and patronymic, date of birth and death of a soldier, his rank. There were no plaques on the graves of the dead until 1943, nameless graves are located along the perimeter of the cemetery fence, in trees and bushes. We laid a wreath and flowers on one of the nameless graves, mother cried over this grave, and again we returned home with nothing.

And already shortly before my mother’s death, we found in her casket a fourth part of the leaflet from the funeral, the signature was clearly dismantled: the head of the hospital, Malakhov. Hope flared up again. I asked my good friend in Moscow, who worked at the General Staff at that time, Leonid Borisovich Goncharov, a man with a good soul, made a request on the letterhead of the General Staff. The answer came quickly: the medical archives of the Army are located in Leningrad. Our Leningrader, son Sasha, joined in. He was told that Malakhov was the head of hospital No. 2004 in Kislovodsk, but there was no archive of this hospital in Leningrad. Why and where can it be? The archive worker replied: “Apparently, ours retreated from Kislovodsk so quickly that the hospital documents were abandoned.” The circle is closed. So we lost our father’s grave, but at least we clearly know that he lies at the Kislovodsk memorial cemetery. Our father, Frolov Vasily Fedorovich, passed away at the age of 32.

On May 5, 2015, our son Alexander Vladimirovich found the following information on the website of the RF Ministry of Defense. In the name list about the wounds of the commanders and rank and file of those who died during the hostilities from October 10, 1941 to January 6, 1942 in hospital No. 2004, I found the name of our father and grandfather: “Frolov Vasily Fedorovich, born in 1909, drafted by the Semikarakorsk RVC of the Rostov Region, soldier 38th Infantry Regiment of the NKVD, was admitted to the hospital on December 8 with a blind wound to the soft tissues of the right buttock by a shell fragment. Gas infection. Sepsis. He died on December 9, 1941.

And in the list of those who died from wounds in the evacuation hospital No. 2004 (Installation data are repeated) it is written: “Blind shrapnel wound of the soft tissues of the right buttock. Gas gangrene of the right buttock. anaerobic infection. Degeneration and congestive plethora internal organs. Dilatation of the ventricles of the heart, especially the right. The patient was delivered by ambulance train on December 8 in serious condition and with symptoms of gas infection. Immediately, upon admission, wide incisions were made with the introduction of anti-gangrenous serum. Despite the measures taken, the wounded man died on December 9 after spending less than a day in the hospital.”

Sasha found the history of the combat route of the 38th regiment, which in June 1941 stood on the Western border of the USSR. With the outbreak of war, he retreated, was surrounded, the remnants of the regiment went to Yaroslavl and were sent to Moscow for reorganization. Therefore, we conclude that the father could not have been on the lists of the 38th NKVD regiment.

After a long search, Sasha established that with the outbreak of the war in Rostov, the 33rd NKVD regiment was formed and this regiment fought in the South (Taganrog-Rostov). Frolov Vasily Fedorovich was drafted into the Army on July 2, 1941 and took the course of a young soldier in the city of Rostov, where our mother Anastasia Danilovna once visited him.

Apparently, someone in the accompanying document, when sending his father to the hospital, mistook the second three in the regiment number for an eight, and this mistake played a disservice in finding the number of the unit in which his father served. We made requests for the 38th regiment, in which my father did not serve.

We copied part of the history of the 33rd regiment, and we were sure that it was in this regiment that my father served.

F Rolov Vasily Fedorovich - commander of the mortar crew of the 83rd Guards Rifle Regiment (27th Guards rifle division, 8th Guards Army, 1st Belorussian Front), Guards Sergeant - at the time of presentation for awarding the Order of Glory 1st degree.

Representatives of the labor collective of the Eastern Railway gathered on Wednesday in the hall of the Irkutsk musical theater named after Zagursky. The ceremonial meeting was opened by Vladimir Yakunin: “Change of the chief at all times was an event for the entire railway system. Therefore, this issue is reported to the representatives of the team precisely by the head of Russian Railways. I will not hide the fact that the decision to appoint Vasily Fedorovich Frolov was not easy for the leadership of the Federal Passenger Company, who had to part with his deputy, but, nevertheless, such a decision was made. Vladimir Yakunin recalled the reasons for the transition to a new position of the former head of the Eastern Railway, Anatoly Krasnoshchek: his experience as the head of the road, who implemented pilot projects for reforming the industry, is now needed in the highest management echelons of Russian Railways.

At a brief briefing before the start of the meeting with the road staff, Vladimir Yakunin introduced the new appointee to journalists: “Vasily Frolov is known among us. This is a person with the right qualities and knowledge, and I am absolutely sure that he will be able to continue the work that is being done today at the Eastern Railway.”

The biography of Vasily Frolov, who was born on September 18, 1965 in the village of Belogorshch, Bryansk Region, says that all his labor activity is connected with the road. Higher education in the specialty "Management of the processes of transportation in railway transport" he received at the Moscow Institute of Railway Engineers, where in 1988 he defended his diploma. After graduation, he worked as a park duty officer, a station duty officer, and a station dispatcher. He worked his way up to the deputy head of the Kochetovka station of the South-Eastern Railway, after which from 2007 to 2010 he held senior positions in the departments of the Moscow Railway. In July 2010 he was appointed First Deputy CEO JSC "Federal Passenger Company" From January 2002 to December 2007, Vasily Frolov was a deputy of the Orel Regional Council of People's Deputies. He has the title of "Honorary Railway Worker of Russian Railways", has awards and commendations from the head of the Moscow Railway and the Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation. It is also reported that Vasily Frolov is married and has two children.

Now the former and new leaders of the All-Russian Railways are exchanging information necessary for the effective entry into office of Vasily Frolov. Moreover, Anatoly Krasnoshchek says that he is not going to break with the Irkutsk region and will continue to work as a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the region.

Today, Vladimir Yakunin considers the main task of the East Siberian Railway to be work on increasing loading, which should reach 2.9% across the entire network. “In the holding system, VSZhD occupies a central place as a link between the western regions of Siberia and Far East. Almost 6% of Russian Railways' network loading is accounted for by the Eastern Railway, of which 23% are non-ferrous metals and 24% are timber cargoes. How efficiently, smoothly and reliably the ESR works depends on how efficiently and smoothly our entire network operates,” says the president of Russian Railways. In many ways, the performance of the East Siberian Railway, according to Yakunin, better side different from the general ones. “Freight turnover increased by 5.4% against the level of 2010. The local speed was increased by 0.6%, while its level is higher than the average network speed by 25.5%. The turnover of wagons has been accelerated by nine hours compared to last year's level,” Vladimir Yakunin listed the results of the work of railroad workers. Headed by Vasily Frolov, the Eastern Railway will not only consolidate its success, but also solve a number of problems, including a reduction in passenger traffic, he added. In his speech, the head of the holding also mentioned plans to build a second branch of the BAM, launch new high-speed lines, and upgrade infrastructure.

At the end of the speech, to the applause of the railway workers, Vladimir Yakunin presented Vasily Frolov with a signed employment contract and a certificate of the head of the East Siberian Railway. The new leader expressed his gratitude to the top management for their trust. “The East Siberian Railway has always been the flagship of innovation among Russian railways,” said Vasily Frolov. - Advanced technologies, new equipment were introduced here. All projects implemented here were replicated on other railways Soviet Union and Russian Federation. During the period of reforming the industry, I want to note that the Eastern Railway has always been distinguished by stability and efficiency. This testifies to the excellent personnel selection that the road has today, to its powerful potential. I can only thank you for entrusting me to lead such a road. But, bearing in mind that no one is a warrior in the field, I want to appeal to the team: only together we can maintain and improve the results that the East Siberian Railway is proud of today.”
