The history of the development of Soviet industry contains a large number of plots and situations that can serve as plots for dramatic and heroic works. Peter Lomako held the highest positions in the government of the Soviet Union.
Childhood and youth
When the first five-year economic development plan was published in the Soviet Union, the foreign press assessed this document as a fantastic work. There were objective reasons for this assessment. There was an acute shortage of qualified personnel in the country along the entire vertical of management. At that time, few people knew that people of a new modal personality type were gaining knowledge in student audiences. Among them was Pyotr Fadeevich Lomako. The young man studied the experience of domestic and foreign production organizers with great diligence.
The future minister of nonferrous metallurgy of the Soviet Union was born on July 12, 1904 in a family of hereditary Cossacks. Parents lived in the village of Temryukskaya on the territory of the Kuban Cossack District. The father was periodically called to teachings and trainings. The mother was engaged in housekeeping and raising children. Peter from an early age was distinguished by a strong-willed and assertive character. Well physically developed boy knew how to handle horses. He graduated from the five classes of the village school. As a teenager, he took part in the battles for Soviet power.
From smelter to minister
In 1920 he joined the Komsomol. He took part in the fight against gangs that remained on the territory of the Krasnodar Territory after the end of the civil war. After graduating from the workers' faculty, he left for the capital and entered the Moscow Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals. After completing his studies, the certified distribution specialist began his labor activity as a smelter at the Krasny Vyborzhets plant. The career of the young metallurgist was developing successfully. In 1937, Petr Lomako was appointed director of a metallurgical plant in the city of Kolchugino, Vladimir region.
Everyone knew that the war was approaching in the Soviet Union. Preparations for the difficult tests were carried out intensively and around the clock. In July 1940, Pyotr Fadeevich was appointed People's Commissar for the color industry of the USSR. When the war began, Lomako skillfully organized the evacuation of the industry's enterprises beyond the Urals. He personally supervised production processes at existing enterprises and the launch of new capacities at new ones. After the war, he was actively involved in the restoration of destroyed enterprises throughout the country. The Stalinist People's Commissar was called "the father of the Soviet Union's aluminum industry."
Recognition and privacy
For his great services to the country in the development of industrial potential, Petr Fadeevich Lomako was awarded the honorary title of Hero of Socialist Labor. Seven times he was awarded the Order of Lenin and twice the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.
The personal life of Peter Lomako has developed well. He married once. The husband and wife raised and raised two sons. The ex-minister of non-ferrous metallurgy died in May 1990.
