Mass interest in the Lenin State Farm agricultural holding appeared in 2018, during the presidential elections. Pavel Grudinin, director of an agricultural enterprise near Moscow, put forward his candidacy for the post of head of state. The state farm borders on Moscow and can serve as a model farm where no one sacrifices the social sphere for profit.

Communist legend

After the October Revolution, the land went to the peasants, collective farms began to form. In 1918, on the lands that previously belonged to the Nikolo-Pervensky Monastery, the Oreshkovsky Khutor commune was organized. In 1928, it was renamed the State Farm. Lenin.

Today the farm is telling a legend about why the farm was named after the leader of the world proletariat. It says that in 1918, Lenin, passing by peasants plowing the land on the stretch between Gorki and the Kremlin, stopped to find out why each of them was doing it one by one and only within the boundaries of an individual allotment. The peasants reported that they always did this, then Lenin advised them to unite incommune and cultivate the land in common. On the same day, the community was created, and the name of Lenin was given after the reorganization of the commune into a state farm.

How true this story is, no one can confirm, but the hunters can not refute it either. The state farm in 1922 had 92 hectares of arable land, 16 hectares of gardens. There were also few livestock - 10 cows, 9 horses, pig breeding was represented by 13 animals, and 18 chickens walked in the poultry yard. A modest fleet of machines consisted of a cultivator, a mower, 4 plows, a threshing machine and several other technical equipment. In the early 30s, the housing stock included 5 peasant huts, but already in 1933 the first two-story house with 16 apartments was built.

Development

In 1936, the main activity of the farm was started - a strawberry crop rotation appeared. Before the war, large-scale construction began, a nursery garden, a comprehensive secondary school, a club and a canteen, workshops, a garage, a granary were laid, a well was drilled for water supply, and electricity was supplied. During the period of hostilities, much was destroyed.

The expansion of the state farm due to the annexation of three neighboring collective farms occurred in the 60s, the land increased by 2.6 thousand hectares, fruit orchards were laid. The heyday of the economy came in the 70s. The Lenin State Farm (Moscow Region) has become one of the largest producers of agricultural products in the suburbs of the capital. In 1979, part of the land was seized, knocked down the economy andthe death of some of the fruitful gardens.

Since the 1980s, the Lenin State Farm has focused on the development of strawberry plantations. The change in the economic system in the 90s had a negative impact on production, areas were reduced, profitability and sales fell. It was only in the 2000s that the situation was evened out.

New era

In 1995, the director of the state farm named after Lenin (Moscow region) Pyotr Ryabtsev resigned, at the general meeting he nominated his successor, Pavel Grudinin, who held the position of deputy director. The candidacy was approved by a general decision, and three months later the collective farm was transformed into a closed joint-stock company with the preservation of its historical name.

Today, the structure of the state farm named after Lenin (Moscow region) includes 2 thousand hectares of land, of which 300 hectares are given over to strawberries, a rural settlement is located on part of the land, orchards are spread.

Forresidents

The director of the state farm named after Lenin has repeatedly admitted his sympathy for the Finnish management model, where there are completely socialist living conditions for every member of society.

Positive about one-time work

During the strawberry harvest, everyone is provided with work at the Lenin State Farm. Wages are not paidmoney, but berries. Payment is made in natural products in the amount of 10% of the total harvested by the worker. Organized groups get to the fields, the gathering of participants begins at the Domodedovskaya metro station, from where enthusiasts are taken to the fields on free buses. Work on the plantations lasts from 6:00 to 13:30, after which they make a calculation.

The practice of hiring temporary workers according to this scheme has long been practiced at the Lenin State Farm. Feedback from the participants says that picking strawberries is difficult, you have to be in an uncomfortable position all the time. From young to old, many pensioners come to field work. Many liked to take part in the harvesting of strawberries. They saw advantages in being able to taste the berry right in the field, although it is unhygienic, and also spend time outdoors near Moscow.

About the work at the Lenin State Farm, reviews with positive reviews were written by people who lacked physical labor. Once in the fields, they got it in full, although they did not have to work all day. The payment received in the form of berries also turned out to be a sufficient incentive for many to go to state farm plantations more than once. Another incentive to work was the price of strawberries at points of sale, although the collective farm sells the crop much cheaper than the average price of strawberries in the capital. In addition, the majority considered that domestic products are much tastier and he althier than those brought from other countries.

Negative job reviews

Bnegative reviews say that the reward for many hours of hard work is very modest. The conditions created for temporary workers seemed primitive and insufficient to many. Visitors to the fields are limited to prehistoric design outdoor latrines and questionable water in large tanks at the edge of the fields of the Lenin State Farm.

Reviews of a negative nature indicate that strawberries obtained at the end of the workday have nothing to do with those that voluntary participants harvest on plantations. This opinion is expressed by many who at least once decided to go for a delicious berry in the hope of providing an environmentally friendly treat for the family. Some temporary workers felt that this was a clear fraud and forgery.

Palaces for children

For the younger generation, much more is done on the farm than in Moscow, so many Muscovites who have visited parks, playgrounds and farm school think so. The kindergarten of the state farm named after Lenin is a dream of adults, embodied in reality. Until recently, only one "Castle of Childhood" worked, today there are already two of them. About 5 thousand people live in the settlement, and the demographic situation continues to improve.

The area of the new kindergarten in the village of the state farm named after Lenin is 6 thousand m22, creative circles, workshops, theater groups work here. Every morning the children decide what they want to do during the day, the task of the teacher is to adjust and fill the classes with knowledge and development opportunities. In groups, they draw animated films, collectrobots rehearse ballroom dancing and performances.

School

Secondary school of the state farm named after Lenin Pavel Grudinin can be considered quite an achievable standard for creating an intellectual, pedagogical and creative environment for the harmonious development of the individual. Sending a child to a state farm school is a dream of many Muscovites, but it is very problematic to do so. A secondary school was built at the state farm in 1989, and in 2017 an engineering building built according to Finnish technology was put into operation. The area of the educational institution is 18 thousand square meters, designed for 550 students.

The three-story building is divided into three compartments. The western wing is given over to the main and senior levels of the school, and elementary grades study in the eastern wing. The central compartment is a general and administrative area, there are assembly halls, locker rooms, dining rooms, libraries, classrooms for classes, etc. Around the building there is a children's playground, a stadium, jogging tracks, places for recreation. The school paid special attention to the arrangement of laboratory classes, workshops, creative spaces.

Reviews about life at the state farm

Locals love their state farm named after Lenin. Reviews about the infrastructure, comfort and opportunities are positive. Almost everyone believes that the created social conditions are almost like Switzerland. In favor of the high quality of life is the fact that many people want to get a permanent job at the state farm, but there have been no vacancies for several years already.

There is an active development on the territory of the settlement, several residential complexes are being built at the same time, to have time to buy an apartment in them is the dream of many Muscovites. It is not possible to enjoy the choice from a variety of apartment options, most often it is necessary to decide between two options, and this must be done quickly. Some of the people who settled in the ZhK are trying to find work at the Lenin State Farm. In this case, there are much more preferences, but few people succeed.

Positive reviews are left by mothers with small children, they praise children's educational institutions that occupy top positions in terms of the quality of education and the conditions created for the development of children in Moscow and the region. In addition to the school, kindergarten, circles, sports sections, praise and enthusiasm went to the park of the Lenin State Farm.

Reviews about the recreation area "Lukomorye" say that the playground meets all the principles of safety and active recreation for the child. The park has swings, carousels, children's playgrounds, slides, there is a pond with boats. A huge number of sculptures based on Russian fairy tales make the park even more interesting and informative. Parents note that the territory is spacious, very clean, everything is available completely free of charge, one problem is that it is not easy to get there. From the very morning, a line of people who want to relax in Lukomorye gathers under the gate. Incorruptible guards are let into the territory.

A word about the director

Director of the state farm named after Lenin Pavel Nikolaevich Grudinin was born in 1960 in Moscow. He has two higher educations: in 1982 he graduated from MIISPspecializing in mechanical engineering, in 2001 he received a law degree, graduating from the RAGS. Work at the state farm. Lenin began in 1982 as head of the mechanical workshops of the state farm.

Since 1990, P. Grudinin has been elected deputy chairman of the state farm, dealing with commercial issues of the economy. Five years later, he takes the post of chairman, and the state farm becomes a closed joint-stock company. Work at the state farm allowed Grudinin to become the owner of a large, but not the main block of shares (42.8%).

In politics, the director has become noticeable since 1997, when he was elected to the Moscow Regional Duma, being a deputy from United Russia. In 2015, the Lenin State Farm became the largest producer of strawberries in the Moscow region, but for a long time it could not sell its products in the markets of the capital. Long negotiations with the mayor's office, threats to leave the entire crop in the fields achieved the desired goal - Grudinin opened a network of outlets.

In 2017, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation nominated Pavel Grudinin, director of the Lenin State Farm CJSC, as a single candidate from the party in the 2018 presidential election. According to the voting results, he took second place with a score of 11.77%.

What do the workers of the state farm named after Lenin think about their director? Reviews at the moment are still contradictory, which is hard to be surprised. Part of the presidential race is the war of compromising evidence, truthful facts and monstrous fraud, and sometimes outright lies, are brought to light. One thing is for sure: in the village he is respected, most of the employees do not want toleadership change.
