Russian, Soviet chemist Nina Andreeva: biography, discoveries, achievements and interesting facts

Do we know many professors and scientists who later became political leaders? In our time, most often politicians are people who have a special education, or the executives of large enterprises. But in the years of perestroika events developed somewhat differently. Those who created the parties had one goal - to carry their ideas to the masses, wishing a better life for the people. They did not pursue the goal of seizing the place "at the trough." One of those ordinary citizens wishing to make the world better, was a teacher of one of the scientific research institute of the USSR - Nina.

Brief statements

Andreeva Nina Aleksandrovna is a Russian chemist and politician of Soviet and modern Russia. Despite the fact that the public did not always perceive it positively, the woman was able to influence the course of history. The 78-year-old woman acquired her popularity after the publication of the essay (article by N. Andreeva) "I can not give up principles." Some critics believe that this text could become one of the reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union. But is it really so? Let's understand.

Biography: Nina Andreeva

October 12, 1938 in Leningrad (USSR) was born the girl Nina. Her father was a simple port worker. He died at the front during the Second World War.

Nina Andreeva received her upbringing from her mother, who worked as a fitter at the Kirov plant. The war took away from the future chemist not only his father, but also his elder brother and sister.

Since childhood, Nina Andreeva loved science. She studied hard at school, so she won a gold medal at the end. After receiving secondary education, a young woman enters the Leningrad Institute of Technology, choosing the specialty and profession of a chemist. But she was more interested not in science itself, but in a high scholarship, which was provided for special education. At that time the girl was experiencing great financial difficulties. Specialization of a young woman after graduating from university became work with special ceramics.

Nina Andreeva graduated with honors. Later she successfully completed her postgraduate studies and received her Ph.D.

Years of work

After graduation, Nina Andreeva worked at the Research Institute of Quartz Glass at the post of research assistant. After that, she taught physical chemistry to students at the Leningrad Institute of Technology.

In 1966, a woman joined the Communist Party of the USSR, considering herself an atheist. Under the leadership's decision, Andreeva Nina Aleksandrovna, the science for which she always took the first place, was dismissed from her job. She was expelled from the party. But in 1981, Nina Alexandrovna was reinstated both in office and in membership after checking the citizens of the CCP (CPSU Central Committee).

Chikin Valentin, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Sovetskaya Rossiya, says: when he collected information about Andreeva before the publication of her famous article, the rectorate provided the journalist with the most colorful description for the entire period of the woman's work. And she was taught by Nina Andreeva from 1972 to 1991.

The persecution of Andreeva and the change in the type of activity

In early 1988, the newspaper Sovetskaya Rossiya published an article written by Nina Andreeva, "I can not give up principles." Three weeks later, the writing was disavowed by Pravda in the article "The Principles of Perestroika: Revolutionary Thinking and Actions."

After this, Andreeva's persecution began. All ended with the fact that Nina Alexandrovna's husband survived several heart attacks, and the teacher herself was "escorted" from her place of work.

What's next?

This, of course, became a difficult turning point in the life of Andreeva. But already in 1989, the woman headed the All-Union Society (party) "Unity", defending Leninism and the political ideals of Russia. In 1991 Andreeva became the leader of the party "The Bolshevik Platform in the CPSU"

And from the end of the autumn of the same year Nina Alexandrovna becomes the head of the organization "All-Union Communist Party". But, according to our heroine, she never rushed to power. Everything happened by itself.

Then follow lectures to students of institutions that "socialism is invincible." At the same time, a woman politician, the leader of a large party, lived in a modest Khrushchevka, not bothering herself with the problems associated with improving everyday life.

Known works

In parallel with her fruitful political activities, Nina Andreeva manages to write books and publish articles:

1. Collection of 368 pages: "Unsupported principles, or a brief history of perestroika", 1993.
2. "Defamation of Socialism is Inadmissible", 1992.
3. Collection of lectures "For Bolshevism in the Communist Movement", 2002.
4. A well-known article of 2 pages - "I can not give up principles," 1988.

What does the well-known article say?

In the spring, March 13, 1988, Andreeva's article "I can not give up principles" was published. The text of the letter is a cry of the soul of a Soviet teacher. The article condemns materials published in the media, in which, after the introduction of the plan for perestroika began to criticize socialism and the policy of Stalin.

Andreeva declares that, like all Soviet people, she, of course, has a negative attitude toward the policy of the leadership of the USSR when violent reprisals took place, repressions over people (30-40s) were carried out. But Nina Alexandrovna also points out that one should not spread her anger to the policy of the previous leaders as a whole, as is done in the mass media.

Andreeva vouchsafes Stalin in his letter. As a protective argument, the woman leads a false letter from Churchill. The teacher demands to return to the old party-class assessments of Stalin's policy. According to Andreeva, what was said in the press at the time of writing her text distorts history, substitutes the facts.

The author assures that people who criticize socialism are adherents of the West and cosmopolitanism. Supporters of "peasant socialism" were also subjected to ruthless criticism from Andreeva. In the foreword to the article, Gorbachev's quote was used, in which the politician declared that Marxist-Leninist principles can not be compromised under any pretext.

What afterwards?

At the end of March 1988, a letter from Nina Andreeva was discussed in the Politburo at the urgent request of Mikhail Gorbachev himself. At the meeting, Dmitry Yazov supported the teacher, placing emphasis on the services of Stalin during the Great Patriotic War. Allegedly, without such a leader, a victory could not be achieved.

For many researchers and historians, the time of the appearance of the article and the subsequent discussion could become key moments of perestroika. But according to the author (N. Andreeva), her letter was a response to the texts of Alexander Prokhanov.
