Talking about my life, about the good things that happened in it, about what my memory involuntarily brings back to life, I cannot help but talk about my mountaineering activities. I did not achieve any special heights in this sport, and my track record did not include the peaks of that very sixth category of difficulty that every climber dreams of. I've gone on some climbs with real big climbers. And I saw them in action, this allowed me not to build any illusions about my sporting capabilities. For several years I walked on the same rope with Valentin Mikhailovich Kolomensky. We made several ascents of the fourth and fifth difficulty categories with him, and I understood that what he easily did would never be accessible to me. And I wasn’t particularly sad about it.

I was a very mediocre climber. True, I had one quality that was valued and because of which I was willingly included in all sorts of teams: I was a good Sherpa, I could bear heavy loads for a long time at high altitudes. And in my skiing hobbies, I preferred long distances, especially the 50-kilometer race. I did it better than sprint distances. This quality of a stayer helped me a lot at the front. And probably, if I had shown more desire to achieve athletic heights, I could have received a master’s badge. But...science has already intervened here.

After demobilization from the army, I became friends with the mountaineers of the Moscow Higher Technical School. Her team was led by an excellent climber and a very pleasant person, Slava Lubenets, with whom we still maintain friendly relations. The team was preparing for its record traverse Dykhtau - Mezhirgi - Kashtan-tau. I was told in no uncertain terms that I had a definite chance of being included in the final roster of climbers, but I had to start training a lot and seriously. And me?...I went to work as an instructor at the Alibek mountaineering camp. The choice has been made.

Any climb, starting from the fifth category of difficulty, requires not only physical fitness and good technique. It requires enormous psychological preparation and expenditure of mental strength. In mountaineering there are no cheering stands - you and the rock! And then 18 days on the crest of the fifth category of difficulty. We had to prepare for this all winter and even more - we had to live by it! Maybe a year ago I would have gotten involved in preparations for this record-breaking traverse. But that year I already had other guidelines, I began to live differently. After one of my reports at the seminar of Academician S.L. Sobolev, he told me that the results obtained could be presented as a doctoral dissertation and he was ready to be my opponent. Moreover, he reported this to the council of the Steklov Institute, and I received leave to complete my dissertation. In a word, “science has gone,” as Gorbachev would say, and I could no longer live by anything else. Mountaineering, with all my love for the mountains, became only an accompanying circumstance.

After this episode, I completely switched to teaching. This kind of activity during the summer academic leave completely satisfied me. I worked with climbers who already had one or another sports category, and went with them to peaks of medium, third or fourth category of difficulty. This satisfied my sporting appetites and provided unlimited opportunities for all sorts of interesting hikes or ascents along new, perhaps not very difficult, but interesting routes. I worked, as a rule, in the Alibek camp in Dombay. But he often visited Altai, where he was the first head of the rescue service of the first mountaineering camp in the Aktru Gorge. Once I was in the Tien Shan, where I worked in the Talgar camp, also as a rescue chief.

Instructor work had another pleasant side - I met a lot of interesting people. One of them was a man who played a very important role in my life. This was Igor Evgenievich Tamm, one of our greatest physicists, a man of enormous charm and kindness.

At the end of the thirties, I spent a month at the school of instructors, as we loudly called it. The Dombay meadow was still pristine and beautiful back then. The only building there was a house built by the Commission for Assistance to Scientists (SSC), and we called it the biting house. It was a beautiful wooden two-story building. And on the other side of the river, right near the beginning of the climb to the donkey pass, as we then called the beginning of the trail to the Ptysh Pass, our university sports society (then it bore the proud name “Science”) set up a small camp with a dozen tents. Future mountaineering instructors were trained there. My main teacher was the Austrian Franz Berger, who was expelled from Austria as an active participant in the speeches of the Schutzbund, a communist workers' organization. He was a professional mountaineer and gave us a good understanding of modern mountaineering techniques, about which we had only a vague idea.

After graduating from this school, I received an invitation to work at the Alibek camp as an intern. I was not given an independent group, but rather a small group of visiting scientists was entrusted to my care. I had to “shepherd” them: Taking a rope and an ice ax just in case, accompany them on various walks and not interfere with the highly scientific conversations that they had among themselves. This is where I met Igor Evgenievich. But first, one clarification.

Professor Belikov taught us a course on the theory of electricity at Moscow State University. I don’t know what kind of physicist he was, but he gave lectures with amazing tediousness. And to prepare for the exams, he recommended Eichenwald’s book to us, adding: “Real physics, no mathematics.” For me, the “Eichenwald barrier” turned out to be insurmountable: a continuous collection of individual examples, not united by any common guiding idea. And in brilliant style I received a pair. After which he left for the mountains with his tail and with the book “The Theory of Electricity,” which was written by the rising star of Soviet physics, Professor I.E. There M. And this same Igor Evgenievich ended up in the group that I was assigned to “shepherd.” But I had no idea that the author of the book I was about to teach was in the group.

I had few responsibilities, my students walked around on their own, paying little attention to me, and I began to prepare for the re-examination. One day, sitting on a pebble near my tent, I read my Tamm textbook and made some notes. Suddenly, I heard a quiet voice behind me. “But it’s funny when my instructor reads me.” I jumped up. In front of me stood a short man who, during walks, frightened me with his activity, fearlessness, or, rather, lack of understanding of dangers. He smoked and smiled. “My name, Nikita, is Igor Evgenievich, I am the author of this book. Why are you reading this nonsense here in the mountains?”

I repented to him of my sins, which he treated very leniently. Two or three times Igor Evgenievich spoke to me about certain issues, asked me how I was reading his book. But I was embarrassed to talk to him.

At the beginning of September, at the dean's office, I received a referral to take an exam... with Professor Tamm. Arriving at the Department of Physics, I immediately began with the fact that I came to him purely by chance and I did not specifically ask to be directed to him. “By God, this is a pure coincidence” - I remembered the end of the phrase. “We’ll check it now,” said Igor Evgenievich and asked some young man with glasses, whose name was Misha, to examine me. After which he left somewhere for a long time. I dealt with Misha quite quickly, and we began to wait for the professor. He arrived two hours later. My examiner said that he had no complaints against me. Igor Evgenievich asked me a couple more simple questions of a general nature and asked: “Well, Misha, let’s give this climber an A?” This idea was supported by Misha and the “tail” was successfully cut off. Moreover, Tamm advised me to listen to some of his courses and attend his seminar.

I tried to do this. In any case, I took his course on the theory of relativity. He made a great impression on me. I wrote it down completely and very carefully. This may have been the only university course for which I had notes. About 12 years later it came in very handy to me.

The next year I met Tamm in the Tiberda area. He was with his children, a boy and a girl. The boy Zhenya later became a famous climber, the leader of our first Himalayan expedition to Everest. But even then he was not Zhenya, but Evgeny Igorevich Tamm.

In the 50s, Tamm and I met several times in the mountains and had real scientific conversations. While still at Rostov University, I decided to read everything related to mechanics in the university curriculum - the mechanics section in the general physics course, theoretical mechanics and the special principle of relativity, as a single mechanics course. I believed that such a course should be taught by one professor, who is obliged to combine into a single whole the ideological, experimental and mathematical aspects of what is commonly referred to as mechanics. I taught this course twice, and I received great satisfaction from the work done. It was important for me to talk about this experience. Tamm was also interested in him, and he and I discussed him many times.

Two or three years later, already at the Institute of Physics and Technology, I made an attempt to teach a unified course in continuum mechanics, including hydrodynamics, elasticity theory and magnetic hydrodynamics. And I also consulted with Igor Evgenievich. He warmly supported this idea, and with his blessing, I taught a similar course at MIPT for several years. It is very important that it is read by one professor. Only then is the systematic effect achieved and you can consistently hold your point of view on the subject. Unfortunately, after I stopped reading the course on continuum mechanics, there was no person at MIPT who would undertake to read it in its entirety. Corresponding member Sokolovsky and Professor Voight, who were assigned to teach it, again divided the course into three parts.

Thus, mountaineering brought me together with a person who had a great influence on the formation of my worldview. First of all, his lectures - their mood, their orientation were so different from what other physics professors read to us. What he told and how he told it was close to my perception of a mathematician, and I, so to speak, listened to him “enthusiastically.” And when I myself became a professor, the advice of I.E. Tamm helped me establish my own understanding of the fundamental nature of learning.

Once upon a time, at a meeting of the MIPT methodological commission, after one of my speeches, Professor Rytov reproached me: “You teach not physics, but models of physics.” I agreed with this and said that this is my principle: physical (and any other) education should be based on a certain system of thinking. Humanity has not yet come up with anything else in its integrity and logic comparable to the system of physics models. Having mastered such a system, feeling it, it is much easier for a person to assimilate all the specific facts, which is what the usual tradition of teaching physics achieves. Therefore, the system of “physics models” must be taught not only to theorists, but also to experimenters. Igor Evgenievich confirmed me in these judgments. And also in my idea of ​​Niels Bohr as the greatest thinker of the twentieth century. The 60s were the basis for my subsequent methodological activities, to which I attach special importance, and I.E. Tamm was one of two people whose conversations allowed me to define my own “paradigm”.

That's why the story about mountaineering took up so much space here!

In 1960 I stopped my sport mountaineering. There was a reason for this. I almost fell off on a relatively easy section. This happened while climbing the wall to Karatash - a low rocky peak in the Aktru gorge in Altai. The degree of difficulty is not high, 4-A, and only due to the first 200 meters of a rather steep wall. I passed it without any particular difficulties. And then began climbing on fairly flat rocks, similar to sheep’s foreheads, the difficulty was no higher than third. My partner shouted to me from below: “Drive in the hook!” - I was walking first at that moment. I didn’t do this, thinking that I had enough strength for the last 2-3 meters. I had enough of them, but at the last limit. I turned pale and could not come to my senses for a long time.

Returning to camp and talking about this episode, I acutely felt that the phrase spoken by Ktorov in the wonderful film “The Feast of St. Jorgen” also applied to me. And he said then: “In the profession of a swindler, the main thing is to get away on time!” This equally applies to climbers - their eyes still see as before, but their strength, alas, is already new. Such a mismatch is very dangerous. I felt it myself. And I decided not to repeat the experiments anymore.

In my life, I have used this "rogue principle" religiously. So, one day I left the faculty, then the head of the department, and a few years later, taking advantage of the new provision on advisers, it seems that I was the first member of the Academy to completely retire. And now, alone with the computer, answering only to it, I can still do something useful and interesting to me, and not try to perform duties that require more energy and greater health.

And in 1961, a new and no less attractive stage of mountain life began, which I had no intention of abandoning. I don’t remember whose idea it was, but we organized a comic club with the comic name “Puzogrey - Amateur”! It seems that this name was invented by the late professor Vadim Borisovich Ustinov from Leningrad. It accepted people who were at least 40 years old and had the title of senior mountaineering instructor. The club had a "Fuhrer". He unanimously elected Honored Master of Sports Vasily Pavlovich Sasorov. But in addition, we decided to also have a president and Igor Evgenievich Tamm agreed to be him.

The meaning of this “club” was more than simple: a group of mountain lovers who had known each other for a long time and liked each other gathered somewhere in the Caucasus. They came in their cars, with their families. We set up a small tent camp and lived for several weeks for our own pleasure, without asking anything or anyone. We chose a place near some mountaineering camp, and he usually helped us a little, since we were famous people in mountaineering and had friends all around.

Our Fuhrer made sure that the members of the club did not grow bellies, and every three or four days we went on some kind of hike that required a very thorough load. So we were in great shape. For the rest of the time, no less pleasant activities were invented. I especially remember the evenings we spent around the fire. The people were interesting and the conversations were interesting. We drank tea, and not because we had prohibition - we simply had no time for alcohol. Older generation instructors usually came to our bonfires from the camp, and acquaintances from Moscow, Leningrad, Sverdlovsk came to us...

Here another remarkable feature of Igor Evgenievich was revealed. He was an amazing storyteller. And since he was familiar with all the great physicists of the world and remembered many interesting details, his evening stories over tea by the fire and comments on them turned into phenomena of cultural life. For me it was a roll call of times: how these conversations over tea in spirit reminded me of those Saturday evenings on Skhodnya somewhere in the year twenty-five. The same circle of people, the same ability to listen to each other and the desire, rather necessity, to simply communicate.

Once two Leningrad physicists Nikita Alekseevich Tolstoy and Alexey (I think) Mikhailovich Bonch-Bruevich came to us. Knowing that they both belonged to old noble families, I proposed a discussion on the topic: whose family is older! As Vadim Ustinov later said, my Leningraders did not disappoint - they knew their “gynecology” well. Indeed, they showed knowledge, not only of their own family trees. Both witty and funny, they turned this evening into a wonderful show and convinced us that Bonchi is certainly older than Rurik and all his ancestors! And the Tolstoys clearly lived during the time of Cicero.

And a few days later, taking on board my Muscovite an additional burden - a substantial amount of Nikita Tolstoy - I went to Crimea. But, apparently, for my wildebeest the extra one and a half hundredweight of Count Tolstoy turned out to be slightly excessive. The car refused to drive us all the time - it was clearly protesting. And I was surprised (and gloating) to discover that the knowledge and capabilities of a mathematician and an experimental physicist when it comes to a car are not much different from each other. We both expressed the hypothesis that my Muscovite simply does not want to carry two Nikitas! And she reconciled us. And then my youngest daughter kept whining, “I want to float on the mattress.” Nikita Tolstoy touchingly convinced her of the need to be patient and that one day she would definitely float on a mattress in Koktebel. What actually happened! To our surprise.

Presumably, Tamm Nikita Evgenievich is the head (position - general director) of the companies, the list of which you see below.

Interdistrict Inspectorate of the Ministry of Taxes and Taxes of Russia No. 39 for MOSCOW

The Russian marathon team is 5 years old. Unfortunately, the relationship between this project and the Skiing magazine turned out to be difficult - just remember the heated discussion on the pages of our website about the story of Kuanysh Kambarbaev’s departure from the team. Then this discussion and attempts by both sides to resolve this difficult situation resulted in a hidden and rather serious conflict between both sides, and we (the editors) chose to distance ourselves from the team and not write about it.

But the years go by, and a lot has changed in the team over the years. We (Ivan Isaev and Andrey Krasnov from the editorial side) and the current leaders of RMK (Nikita Tamm and Yuri Kiryanov) decided to take a step towards each other and try to understand each other. The piquancy of the situation also lies in the fact that all four were students at Moscow State University in different years and competed for the Moscow State University cross-country skiing team. Well, how could we not agree in this situation? :)

We bring to your attention an interview with a former member of the Moscow State University cross-country skiing team, the general director of the Biokhimmak company and the current head of the RMK team, Nikita Evgenievich Tamm.

- Half the season is over. Are you happy with how it's going? Are your hopes justified?

Yes, we are quite satisfied. After Marchalonga, the Russian marathon team took fourth overall team place, or rather shared 4-5 place with BST - the team of Lukas Bauer, for which, as you know, the Russian Ilya Chernousov competes. Our Ermil Vokuev is in the lead in the fight for the leader’s jersey in the youth competition, and he is actively fighting for the leader’s jersey in the sprint competition and the “mountain king” jersey.

In the team competition, we did not fall below fifth place. Unfortunately, we did not participate in the Toblach-Cortina marathon, and the situation has changed a little.

- What tasks do you set for individual riders and for the team as a whole? What overall team place would you consider successful at the end of the season?

We are realistic and understand perfectly well that today it is very difficult for us to compete with such powerful teams as Lager 157 Ski Team (Sweden), Norwegian teams Team Santander and Team Koteng, but we are quite capable of fighting for a place in the top six teams.

In addition, we really hope that Ermil Vokuev will get on the podium in the remaining races and, of course, that Ermil will get into the top three at the end of the season in the youth and sprint competitions.

We can say that the current composition of the team is quite capable of fighting for the third overall team place, but under one condition - participation in all marathons of the series without missing out.

- What is the composition of the team today? Who is included in it?

We can safely say that this is a fusion of youth and skill. The lineup, as in previous years, includes our tried and true “fighters” Alexey Dvoskin, Larisa Ryasina (Shaidurova), Vika Melina, young athletes participating in the SkiClassics series for the first time: Nadya Shunyaeva, Lali Kvaratskhelia, Ilya Semikov, Maxim Kovalev, experienced, but also debuting in the marathon series Nikita Stupak. And of course, the leader and our main hope this season Ermil Vokuev.

I must say that we really hoped that another of our leaders would continue his winning streak this season. Olga Rocheva, but she took a break from international competitions this year and plans to compete in the RussiaLoppet marathons.

Speaking about the composition of RMK, I would also like to emphasize the wonderful atmosphere that reigns in the team. A calm, comfortable and at the same time business environment, where everyone knows what, how and when they need to do for the overall success of the TEAM.

How is the RMK structured from the inside? Is there a coach, team captain, general manager, oiler, doctor, massage therapist? Who is responsible for what? How does the team travel around Europe? Planes, trains, buses, private cars?

- The RMK brand belongs to NP SK Chulkovo, which provides financial and legal support to RMK. The general management of the team and making operational decisions this year, for a number of reasons, was entrusted to the general director of BioChemMak, the main financial sponsor of RCC this and previous seasons, i.e. on me. Taking this opportunity, I would like to say thank you to my fellow managers of our company and, of course, to our financial director Yura Kiryanov for their understanding and support in making the decision to finance the team in such a difficult and uncertain time for business.

Of course, its founder and long-term leader A.I. is aware of everything that happens in the team and with the team. Timonin. We are in regular contact with him and consult on key issues.

All issues related to organizing the team’s travel, accommodation, logistics, applications for the next marathon, coordination of the composition, service, development of tactics, catering during the race, etc. are decided by the general manager of the team. This year, this role is wonderfully played by Andrey Tyuterev. I must say that Andrey has grown in our team from a cheerful and sociable athlete to a respected and unusually responsible and hardworking leader.

In previous years, this huge layer of responsibilities, as a rule, was shared between the team manager and sports director Vasily Rochev, who played a very large role in the development and establishment of RMK.

A service specialist travels with a team to each marathon or series of marathons. This year we are working with wonderful specialists and very pleasant people Leonid Antipov and Sasha Artemyev. Many thanks to them!

As for the team coach, we refused such a position several years ago. We do not hold summer training camps, but at the training camp in Livigno before the start of the marathon series, which we practice every year, all athletes work according to the plans of their personal trainers, and short training camps before each race are essentially summative, and each athlete is responsible for his own readiness.

As for logistics, it is structured like this: as a rule, team members gather at one of the airports in Europe, and then travel to the training camp or competition site in one or two minibuses owned by the team sponsors. The driver of one of the cars in recent years has been our “multi-core” Andrey Tyuterev.

- This year RMK is performing in its fifth season. What are the team's main achievements?

Over the past four seasons, RMK skiers have won the VismaSkiClassics series marathons three times: in 2014, Yulia Tikhonova won the Marcialonga marathon, becoming the first woman in history to complete the marathon distance by doublepolling. In 2015, Justyna Kowalczyk became the winner of the 90-kilometer Vasaloppet marathon, and last season Olga Rocheva won Vasaloppet China. Undoubtedly, our achievements include Larisa Ryasina’s second place at the La Diagonela marathon in 2014 and third place in the team prologue in 2015.

Ermil Vokueva’s fourth places last season at the Jizerska 50 marathon and this season at the Kaiser Maximilian Lauf are the best achievements of our men in individual races.

I will also note the fourth places of Vika Melina at Marcialonga 2015 and Vasaloppet China 2017, the fourth places of Olga Rocheva at La Diagonela 2014 and at Koniq Ludwig Lauf 2014 and the repeated placing of our women and men in the top ten at different competitions.

It can also be said that in previous seasons the team also participated in the FIS Maraton Cup series, where our women Olga Rocheva, Yulia Tikhonova, Larisa Shaidurova repeatedly made it to the podium.

- You mentioned the success of Justyna Kowalczyk. On what conditions did she agree to play for RMK the year before last?

You know, at that moment a lot of circumstances coincided for joint cooperation. A.I. Timonin negotiated with Kovalchik and her coach Alexander Veretelny back in the summer. At first there was uncertainty, but in the middle of the season, Justina herself contacted us and offered to perform at Vasaloppet as part of RMK without any financial conditions. Our responsibilities were to provide logistics, accommodation, assistance to the service in preparation for the race and service during the marathon. Everyone was happy.

- Ilya Chernousov - why is he not in RMK? Were there any negotiations with him?

There were preliminary conversations with Ilya several years ago. He refused, citing the fact that the Skiclassics series requires special, not entirely traditional preparation.

After Ilya began regularly participating in the marathon series, our athletes, who knew Ilya very well, tried to find out how he would react to the proposal to cooperate with RMK. The answer was very clear and precise - “I have existing agreements with BST, and at the moment I am satisfied with everything.”

- What are the main problems in the functioning of the project?

There are problems, of course, and, perhaps, the main one is the financing of the team. It must be said frankly that the annual budget of our team, to put it mildly, is significantly lower than that of the teams that are fighting with us to get into the top 5 in the team standings. It is clear that financing the RMK project is pure patronage or, if you like, charity. And if finding technical partners (manufacturers of equipment, sports nutrition, clothing, etc.) is a difficult but solvable task, then finding partners who agree to invest “real money” in the project is extremely difficult. We are constantly dealing with this issue and really hope that thanks to the results of our athletes, and also given that the VismaSkiClassics series is gaining more and more popularity in Europe and an increasingly large television audience, we will be able to solve this problem in the near future.

The second very serious problem is the employment of our athletes in domestic competitions (departmental, regional, all-Russian), participation in which for a number of reasons is mandatory for them. As you know, such starts take place here in February-March, and it is during this period that the Scandinavian marathons take place in the marathon series.

It is necessary to mention one more difficulty when assembling a team for a particular stage. All our leaders, of course, strive to be included in the Russian national team at the World Cup stages, and the better their results as part of the RMK, the greater the likelihood that the athlete will be called up to the Russian national team. This year, for example, Larisa Ryasina and Nikita Stupak were called up directly from the training camp between marathons to the World Cup stage; last year a similar case happened with Olga Rocheva. There is only one thing left to do - to anticipate such a situation when planning the lineup.

- Considering such an important issue for RMKlike sponsorship, could you list the team's partners this season?

Yes, of course, except for the company already mentioned above BioChimMac, this is a long-term and permanent sponsor - the company ATiK sport. For the second season, our partner is a manufacturer of sports glasses, lenses, frames and masks - a French company Julbo, domestic manufacturer of high-quality sports nutrition PowerUp, clothing sets are provided to us this year by the company MDK. Second season very important and valuable partners for us are the owners of modern wooden Aparthotel Rittis, located in Ramsau am Dachstein. Our team's athletes are provided with a wonderful opportunity for free accommodation and excellent conditions for recovery and training between Alpine stages.

- Tell us how your relationship with management is.Ski Classic series? Are they interested in the Russian team?

We are very pleased that project director David Nilsson and other managers are extremely friendly and helpful towards our team. All current issues and problems are resolved quickly and clearly.

I attended the captain's meeting several times on the eve of the marathons, and each time the meeting with the management of the series left the most pleasant impressions.

It must be said that the VismaSkiClassics project is very interested in holding one of the marathons in Russia, and this marathon should be tied to the Scandinavian series and held in late March-April.

During the final stage of last season in Levi, preliminary negotiations took place on the possibility of organizing such a stage in Kandalaksha, and the mayor of the city participated in the negotiations. A protocol of intent was discussed and agreed upon, preliminary requirements for financing, requirements for picture quality during live television broadcasts, etc. were announced. Currently, this project is at the stage of coordination with government agencies. But it is still very, very early to talk about its actual implementation.

I would like to note that less than a month ago, David Nilsson once again asked how the approvals were progressing.

- Do you have contacts with the FLGR and its President? How does the federation feel about this project?

Yes, we have normal relations with the FLGR; if necessary, we have direct contact with President Elena Valerievna Vyalbe. Another thing is that so far we have not had any very serious topics for discussion.

Although there are two issues that we would like to discuss together in the foreseeable future.

Firstly, this is a question related to holding the Skiclassics stage in Russia - we cannot do it without the help and support of the FLGR.

And the second question is the possibility of exempting our athletes from some of the competitions currently required for them in Russia, by analogy with members of the national team. This would greatly help us when planning the team’s performance before the next season and would free our hands when applying for the optimal composition for a particular stage.
