In Soviet times, the Komsomol organization was considered a source of personnel for party and trade union bodies. Many large-scale leaders of industrial and scientific organizations have undergone Komsomol practice in their time. Viktor Mironenko is one of such representatives.
Pioneer childhood
One could become a member of the Komsomol at the age of fourteen. Viktor Ivanovich Mironenko was born on June 7, 1953 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents at that time lived in the city of Chernigov. My father worked as a mechanic at the regional party committee in the Chernihiv region. He passed away when the boy was barely seven years old. Mother worked as a cutter in a garment factory. The child grew up and was brought up in a favorable environment. The boy was being prepared for adulthood from an early age. Victor tried to help his parents around the house in everything. I learned the letters early and began to read. He dreamed of becoming a pilot.
At school, Victor studied well. He showed an increased interest in the humanities. History and geography were his favorite subjects. He worked with enthusiasm as a tour guide in the school museum of partisan glory. I did sports. He attended the track and field athletics and gymnastics section. He took an active part in public life. In high school, he designed and edited the school wall newspaper. I always found a common language with classmates. He knew how his peers live and what they dream about.
On the political wave
Until a certain point, the biography of the future Komsomol leader developed according to the standard scheme. In 1970, having received a certificate of maturity, Mironenko entered the local pedagogical institute. Student years flew by like an instant. However, during this time, Victor gained invaluable experience and acquired useful contacts. From the first year he joined the stream of Komsomol events. Initially, he was elected a political informer. Then he took up his favorite art - he began to publish the wall newspaper "Voice of a Freshman".
A career in the Komsomol developed without much effort. At the next stage, Mironenko was elected secretary of the institute committee of the Komsomol. After completing his education, the young specialist comes to work at his native institute as a history teacher. But the situation developed in such a way that he had to head one of the regional committees of the Komsomol. At all posts, Viktor Ivanovich worked with full dedication and always reached the targets.
Essays on personal life
After the famous March 1985 plenum of the CPSU Central Committee, perestroika began in the Soviet Union. Soon he was elected first secretary of the Komsomol Central Committee, and Viktor Mironenko moved to Moscow. The protest actions of citizens resulted in a real revolution that destroyed the Soviet Union. The Komsomol, as an organization, ceased to exist. Mironenko returned to his first profession and took up historical research.
In the personal life of the former Komsomol leader, there have been no changes. Husband and wife have saved their love, their home and their children from the pernicious influence of permissiveness. Viktor Ivanovich, as a result of many years of efforts, received the title of Doctor of Historical Sciences.
