HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, YURI IVANOVICH!
You know, how to determine, Surgut in front of you or not? Say the name "Vazhenin" and look at the reaction. If a person does not climb into Wikipedia, but smiles and nods his head - he is a real Surgutian. There is a very short list of surnames in Surgut, causing such a reaction.. Very short, but there is.
Governor of Ugra Natalya Komarova once said about Yuri Ivanovich: “This is a person without a negative rating”. The thing is, that Vazhenin appeared in Surgut long before the word “rating” appeared here. G, basically, could well replace this foreign concept, because according to him always, willingly or unwillingly, measured the rest. In a sense, he really is a standard, not only the standard of a leader, but also a person, which is important during the period of mass boss bronzeing.
One gets the feeling, that Vazhenin was always in Surgut. That these are practically equal values, like Lenin and the party in Mayakovsky's famous poem. Difficult, It’s almost impossible to imagine Surgut without Yuri Ivanovich, and himself without Surgut too. It’s difficult - and it’s not necessary. Yuriy Ivanovich with us, including today, when he turns 65 years old.
It seems that on such a day it is necessary to say that, what Vazhenin did and continues to do for us, for Gazprom-Yugra, for the development of Ugra volleyball. But the scale of his personality, his affairs are much deeper and wider. He is one of the fathers of our club, and “family” connections require some bias, isn't it true? But the paradox is, that we were completely objectively lucky with him. And sincere gratitude, – less, what can we express to him today?.
Siberian health to you, Yuri Ivanovich, creative longevity, new victories and achievements! All the fun is just beginning. Happy anniversary!
