Vladimir Kondusov: “I am a warrant officer, which is responsible for everything "

This interview was done three years ago, in 2022. With great difficulties, it was possible to persuade Vladimir Nikolayevich for a conversation for printing. And it seems that he liked the text, Yes, only Kondusov strictly banned him! Said, that too much positive it turned out and in general, "Not time". And the text remained really not finished, Like the life of his hero ... now, probably, The same time has come ...

After Rafael Khabibullin Vladimir Kondusov is the only person, who has passed through the entire history of Gazprom-Jugrs: was a player, coach, sports director and remains one of the most active members of the club team. It is called the Guardian of the Club traditions, but he does not agree with this definition.

I prefer, to call me a warrant officer (We must warn, that our interlocutor has a great sense of humor, – Approx). He is responsible for everything, Like in the army. I like to be needed, I feel, that I need it - that's all. What to do is the second question. Basically, I can do everything.

– At first you could play volleyball well. How began?

Guess, Who is my first and only coach? Right, Rafael Talgatovich. In the sixth grade, he went to the lesson: “Boys, Stand up! You, You and you. What is the name, You will play volleyball?»-" Buddha ". So came to him. After school, in 1993 year, Eduard Merman from Nizhnevartovsk arrived and invited to Samotlor. There was no team in Surgut then, I left for two years. And in 1996 year Habibullin began his project, And I was already here. Appeared in the tower "B", first tour, As I remember now, Was in Novokuybyshevsk.

– And the truth, that that, The first team, Completely consisted of employees of the condensate stabilization plant?

Yes, Working team, that's how it was! Everyone worked for ZSK.

– Formally?

Not, Really! This was the condition of the then director of the Yasaveev factory. I was in security at first, Then he moved to VGSO, Militarized gas rescue detachment. Licensed, by the way, Employee of the gas rescue service, Participated in rescue operations a couple of times. Do not ask details, secret.

– And they trained when?

Between streams. From training - for an evening or night shift, everything is grown up. it, by the way, There was a positive experience, I am more real, Pragmatically began to look at life. I felt, What is real work at the plant - this in further life sets up in a serious way.

– The plant did not interfere with professional volleyball?

Well, In the tower "b" it was easy and simple. When two years later they went to the Premier League "A", We went to meet us, They began to free from work. And two years later, In 2001, We went to the Super League. I continued to train, I went to the site several times, But this is where my volleyball ended.

– You were in the prime, Why tied it?

It happened. Someone had to engage in youth. The youth league appeared later, but the duplicate composition of the team of the Super League nobody canceled. We had two of them at once, younger and older, Played in the Premier League "B": "Leftha", Swiss. My first experience in coaching. A lot of talented boys, The same Igor Kobzar passed the entire staircase from and to.

– And then…

Then Raf said - local people are needed, who know, how to go into the office and how to get out of it.

– And you knew?

And I did not know. I started with a simple one - the letter to take, talk to that, To solve something with this. Gradually gained experience, and connections. Now everyone knows me well - and in Surgut, and not only. It has become easier to work, No need to explain every time, Who I am, where, Why and why. When you are constantly in this topic of administrative, all this is easy to give, The main thing is to keep your hand on the pulse, Do not fall out. Every day something new happens! Hotel order, rent an apartment, Repair do, Buy tickets, form, The tour is organized - I can do everything.

– The most difficult thing was?

We spent the world league in Surgut, The hall was completely transported from the Arena to Energetik - coating, VideoBorta, dashboard, Dismantle the stands and re -assemble, All-all-all! A few trucks. Accept commands, Place, Conclude, Feed. TV, advertising, spectators. We were the first to come up with people in the stands in the T -shirts of the national flag to change. Japanese, The Italians came, Thank you, Everything is perfect. Almost everyone made a dozen employees a compact team, Including drivers. And in Ufa on the world league only in the organizing committee there were forty people.

– Yes, This is legendary. And what else was doing?

I found Petara Krsmanovich in due time. Accidentally entered the Serbian agent, He suggested looking at Petar, who then played in Argentina. In fact, I was not known to anyone, made a career in Russia, Surgut, From us and in the national team of Serbia got. At all, What is the trick of our team? People open. The same Rajab - who knew him two years ago?

– And who else you found, Except Krsmanovich?

I put a hand in the appearance of Yakutin, Dressers ... I regret, that several transitions fell off.

– Can, you go to scouts?

And why? I benefit - and okay.

– Your coaching career, as long as I remember, not finished with the youth.

Yes, when Ruslan Zhbankov arrived, I was accepted into the coaching team. They said - here's a whistle for you, go, work with the Super League. Our fattest two years, judging by the results. Write it down like that: “Kondusov is a great coach” (I remind you of a sense of humor, – ca.. aut.). In fact, it was necessary to close the gap on this front, I went.

It was a pleasure to work with Apalikov, Bakun, Antipkin, Rodichev. A novice coach came - they might say: "Who are you??». But everything was fine, I am very grateful to them for their support, for adult male behavior. Great masters and great people. When Ruslan left, I'm done with the coaching topic, Raf called again to close the administrative loophole.

– The entire biography of Gazprom-Yugra passed before you, you were inside everything, what was happening. What stood out to me the most??

The story with meldonium haunts. We should have won the CEV Cup, were favorites in the final. At home there is a plaque with a silver medal, I look at it every day - why not gold??! My most powerful experience. Of the positive: how they beat Novosibirsk twice in the playoffs. This was my coaching debut and the end of Andrey Voronkov’s career in men’s volleyball.
