Alexey Badaev has not reached such heights as many of his fellow revolutionaries. Although all the chances he had. That’s just Badaeva craving for alcohol was stronger than the desire to make a career. However, as the author of the book “Moscow the two-wheeled. Let’s go!” Oleg Zhdanov, officials his friend is in trouble do not quit: in 1944, Alexey Egorovich took the chair of the trust “Glavpivo”.
From locksmiths in MPs
Early biography of Alexei Egorovich Badaev has much in common with the biographies of other old revolutionaries. He was born in 1883 in a peasant family. As argued by Vasily Shulgin, the author of the book “the Last witness”, Badaev and have not received any education: he has graduated from the evening technical classes, and then was adopted at the Aleksandrovskiy Zavod ordinary mechanic. Later Alexey Egorovich worked also in the wagon workshops of the Nikolaev railroad. However, people Badaeva brought not so much the factory gate, as the Bolshevik party, which he joined in 1904.
the First time Alexey Badaev ran the propaganda activities among the St. Petersburg workers. The language Badaeva was that should be suspended. Besides, he was a proletarian, and so its. It is not surprising that in 1912, Badaev was elected to the State Duma from the workers of St. Petersburg province. Because of his new position Alexey Egorovich even met with Lenin. Apparently, Badaev Vladimir Ilyich liked, because, as stated in the encyclopedia “the Leaders of St. Petersburg”, edited by A. L. Bauman, in January 1913, the leader has appointed a former mechanic official publisher of the newspaper “Pravda”.
“Women for debauchery,” the Chairman of the Presidium of the
However, the career of Alexey Badaeva was interrupted briefly in November 1914, when he, along with several the Bolsheviks were arrested and exiled to the Turukhansk region. If you believe the jury Sokolska, the author of the publication “the famous St. Petersburg”, Badaev and his comrades voted against granting to the government of materiel for the war with Germany. However, thanks to the revolution Alexei Egorovich was soon released. Almost instantly Badaev headed the food supply of Petersburg. It was under him the city has built 40 new warehouses. However, in August 1941, the warehouses were destroyed by German air strikes. This fact became one of the main causes of the famine that erupted in the blockade. But fate Badaeva affected not block.
the fact that Alexey Egorovich, as expressed by Alexander Ushakov on the pages of his book “Burnt wine”, and in those years has continued to remain a party mouthpiece. In addition, in 1938, Badaev was elected Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Council. It is not surprising that it often sent on various trips. One of them Badaev especially “distinguished”. In 1943 Alexei Egorovich headed the Soviet delegation to Mongolia and Tuva. During the visits in the Republic of Badaev binge drinking and was reported to the Central Committee, demanded a “women for fornication.”
the Head of “Gaitua”
For drunkenness and debauchery in April of the same year Alexey Badaeva was removed from the post of Chairman of the Presidium, but instead seems to be temporarily put Ivan Vlasov. Apparently, after weighing all the pros and cons, a few months later, Badaeva still removed from the post completely. And, despite the presence of the latter addiction, which he it would be best to stay away from intoxicating beverages, in 1944 he was appointed head of the trust “Glavpivo”.
Among the many reasons for this, the condescending attitude to Alexei Badaev his associates is the fact that by the time the name of a revolutionary is already widely used in mass propaganda. In addition, to expel from the party the first publisher “Truth” was somehow ugly. And most importantly, according to Alexander Ushakov, Badaeva favored Lenin. To Vladimir Ilich owns the words: “the Party is not a boarding school for noble maidens. We are a large, and large farm stuff will come in handy.” The rest tried to follow the precepts of Lenin. Stalin Badaev also do not conflict. Moreover, the influence of the latter on the political situation has always been minimal. By the way, Badaev was one of the few members of the “old guard” who are not subjected to reprisals. Alexey Egorovich ran the trust until his death: he died in 1951 at the age of 67 years.
