A person who conscientiously treats the assigned work, at all times enjoyed the respect of the people around him. Maria Kitaeva did not hold high positions. She worked as a milkmaid on a collective farm.
Starting conditions
Agriculture in Russia is traditionally an ineffective field of activity. At the end of the socialist period, this industry was called a "black hole" in the press. Maria Petrovna Kitaeva spent her entire adult life in the countryside. In a classic Russian village. She lived and worked on a dairy farm as a milkmaid. In the current chronological period, few young people know which side to approach the cow. And in those distant years, girls and boys from their young nails began to help their parents in all household chores.
A leader in agricultural production is not born. This title is achieved through daily efforts and effective work. The future noble milkmaid was born on July 28, 1951 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents at that time lived in the village of Verkhnyaya Lugovatka in the Voronezh region. My father worked as a machine operator on the collective farm. Mother worked in a field-crop brigade. On hot summer days of haymaking or harvesting, Masha stayed in the house for the mistress. It was necessary to look after the younger brothers. Pour feed for geese and chickens. Prepare dinner for the seniors' return from work.
Last Hero
Maria studied well at school. She willingly took part in social events. She loved to sing in the school choir. She was engaged in physical education and even defended the honor of the school at regional athletics competitions. After receiving secondary education, she got a job on a collective farm. It would seem a simple matter to milk a cow. However, the mechanization of labor in the countryside was taken seriously. By that time, new milking machines were being used on the farm. Kitaeva was sent to refresher courses in the regional center.
The young milkmaid effortlessly mastered all the intricacies of advanced milking technology. Maria, as a child, knew how to care for a cow in the household. On the farm, the mode of keeping animals is significantly different from the home. Kitaeva served five cows manually. After the introduction of new equipment, this number increased to twenty. The production indicators were in line with the planned targets. Maria was repeatedly awarded with valuable gifts and cash prizes.
Recognition and privacy
In her everyday worries, Maria Petrovna did not think about her career or creativity. She loved her cows under her care and kept them clean and tidy. In August 1990, Maria Kitaeva was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor for achieving high results in milk production and labor valor. After this period, the Heroes of Labor did not appear in the Voronezh region.
The personal life of the famous milkmaid has developed well. She got married at 19. The husband and wife raised and raised three sons. Maria Petrovna has long been retired. Lives in the village of Podkletnoye near Voronezh.
