Tevosyan Ivan Fedorovich (Tevadrosovich) - People's Commissar of Ferrous Metallurgy of the USSR.


Ivan Fedorovich (real patronymic - Tevadrosovich) Tevosyan was born on January 4, 1902 (old style December 22, 1901) in the city of Shusha, Elisavetpol province (now the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh). Armenian, son of a handicraft tailor. In 1906, during the Armenian-Azerbaijani massacre, the family fled Shushi and settled in Baku.

He graduated from an Orthodox parochial school in Baku and a three-year Trade School there. After graduation, he worked at the Volga-Baku Oil Company as a clerk, accountant, and assistant accountant. At the same time, in the evenings he studied as an external student at the gymnasium.

He was an active participant in the revolutionary events of 1917. In July 1918 he joined the RCP(b). From the end of 1918 to April 1920, he worked in the Baku Bolshevik underground, continuing to serve in the Volga-Baku Oil Society. In March 1919, he was elected a member of the underground city committee of the RCP (b), in August 1919 - secretary of one of the underground district committees in Baku. He was arrested and spent several months in prison, but was released due to lack of proof of guilt. In April 1920, he participated in the uprising in Baku, coordinated with the beginning of the offensive of the Red Army.

After the restoration of Soviet power in Baku on April 28, 1920, Tevosyan was appointed executive secretary of the City District Committee of the RCP (b), as well as a member of the Central Board of the Union of Oil and Metallurgical Workers of Baku and a member of the Botinsky Council of Trade Unions.

In March 1921, as a delegate to the Tenth Congress of the RCP(b), he participated in the suppression of the Kronstadt uprising. From 1921 to 1929 he studied at the Moscow Mining Academy at the Faculty of Metallurgy and was secretary of the party bureau of the academy. While studying at the academy, Tevosyan underwent industrial practice at the Taganrog Metallurgical Plant (worker in the open-hearth shop, assistant to the roller of the pipe rolling shop); at the Stalin Metallurgical Plant in Donbass (assistant to the shift engineer of the open-hearth shop); at the Dzerzhinsky plant (Kamenka, now Dneprodzerzhinsk, as an open-hearth shop engineer), at the Elektrostal plant in the Moscow region (worker on the foundry ditch, assistant foreman of the electric steel foundry, workshop foreman). In 1929-1930 he was on a business trip to metallurgical plants in Germany, Czechoslovakia and Italy.

Since November 1930, he was the head of the electric steel-smelting shops, and then the chief engineer of the Elektrostal plant. From 1932 to 1937, Tevosyan was elected a member of the Moscow Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), from 1930 to 1934 - a member of the Central Control Commission of the Central Committee of the Military-Industrial Complex (Bolsheviks), a member of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR in 1934 - 1937.

Since August 1931, I. F. Tevosyan has been the manager of the newly created Spetsstal association (as part of the Elektrostal, Serp and Molot, Red October, Dneprospetsstal, Verkh-Isetsky and Nadezhdinsky metallurgical plants in the Sverdlovsk region , ferroalloys from Chelyabinsk and Zestaponi). The association had the strict task of significantly increasing the production of ferroalloys and steels. This task was completed.

In December 1936, I.F. Tevosyan was appointed head of the Seventh Main Directorate (armor production) of the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry of the USSR. In June 1937, the People's Commissariat for the Defense Industry of the USSR was created, in which I.F. Tevosyan was appointed head of the Second Main Directorate (shipbuilding), and at the same time - deputy and first deputy People's Commissar of the Defense Industry of the USSR. Domestic and foreign historians highly appreciate the work of the shipbuilding industry of the USSR in the pre-war years. Then the cruiser "Kirov", the leaders of the destroyers "Moscow" and "Minsk", new types of submarines, destroyers, minesweepers, river monitors, combat boats of various classes were put into operation). New large shipyards were built in the North and Far East. In 1937, I.V.’s sister was arrested. Tevosyan (died in prison during the investigation), he himself was subjected to “operational development” and proceedings in the commission of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks.

In January 1939, the People's Commissariat of the Shipbuilding Industry of the USSR was created and Tevosyan was appointed its first People's Commissar. He did a lot of work to create the apparatus of the People's Commissariat, attracting the largest scientists to its work (three academicians worked in the People's Commissariat at once - A.N. Krylov, Shimansky, Pozdyunin). In 1939, the People's Commissariat handed over 112 ships to the fleet. The efforts of the People's Commissar could have brought even greater results, but significant efforts were devoted to implementing the decision of I.V. Stalin to build two types of new battleships and a second generation of light cruisers at once. Despite the fact that their projects themselves were an outstanding achievement of Soviet shipbuilding thought, these ships themselves could not fulfill the tasks assigned to them in the Baltic and Black Sea, for which they were built. At the beginning of the war, construction had to be stopped. The same applies to the completion of the purchased unfinished German heavy cruiser Lützow.

In 1940, I.F. Tevosyan was appointed People's Commissar of Ferrous Metallurgy of the USSR. This industry by that time was recognized as a failure and Tevosyan was given the task of urgently correcting the situation in it. He began with the reorganization of the People's Commissariat, the introduction of the first in the country a new system of

remuneration of workers and managers, achieved the supply of workers of the People's Commissariat at increased standards for workers in the defense industry. To ensure the continuity of metallurgical enterprises, reserves of ore, coke, coal, and other materials were created at each of them. Violations of the technological process were mercilessly punished; each manager was required to work in a production position for at least 2 years before being appointed to a managerial position. A set of other measures has been completed. As a result, in the first half of 1940, the People's Commissariat fulfilled the plan by 94.5%.

With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, I.F. Tevosyan restructured the People's Commissariat in accordance with wartime needs and organized the development of a plan for the evacuation of enterprises. At the beginning of the war, the enemy captured territories where 2/3 of the total volume of cast iron and 58% of steel were produced before the war. The most important sources of raw materials were lost. Tevosyan did a lot for the dramatic growth of metal production at the country's new metallurgical bases - the Magnitogorsk and Kuznetsk plants. A number of old Ural factories were urgently modernized. 10 blast furnaces, 29 open-hearth furnaces, 16 electric arc furnaces, and 15 rolling mills were built. As a result, in 1943, the Soviet metallurgical industry surpassed Germany in steel production.

For exceptional services to the state in the field of organizing the production of high-quality and high-quality metal for all types of weapons, tanks, aircraft and ammunition in difficult wartime conditions, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated September 30, 1943, Ivan Fedorovich Tevosyan was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor with the award of the order Lenin and the Hammer and Sickle Gold Medal.

After the war, I.F. Tevosyan led the work to restore the destroyed iron and steel enterprises in the southern regions of the country. In terms of the complexity of the tasks, this work had no analogues in world practice. But it was accomplished - in 1948, the pre-war level of steel smelting and rolled metal production was achieved in Donbass, and in 1949, iron smelting was reached.

In 1946, the People's Commissariat of Ferrous Metallurgy was transformed into the Ministry of Ferrous Metallurgy of the USSR and I.F. was appointed minister. Tevosyan. In July 1948, he headed the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry of the USSR, formed as a result of the merger of the ministries of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy.

In June 1949, Tevosyan became deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR; he headed a gigantic complex - ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, coal and oil industries, geology, shipbuilding. At the same time, in December 1950, he was appointed minister of the newly formed Ministry of Ferrous Metallurgy of the USSR. From October 16, 1952 to March 6, 1952, he was a candidate member of the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee.

In March 1953, the management of the national economy of the USSR was reorganized, Tevosyan was appointed Minister of the Metallurgical Industry of the USSR (he was until February 1954) and relieved of his duties as Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR. However, already in December 1953, Tevosyan was appointed for the second time as Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR. Now he was in charge of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, the oil and gas industry and geology, the construction of metallurgical, chemical, oil and gas enterprises, and vocational education. During this period, under his leadership, the problems of creating new materials for space technology, radio electronics and automation were successfully solved. Merits of I.F. Tevosyan also in that he proved the feasibility of developing iron ore deposits of the Kursk magnetic anomaly, and accelerated the study of the oil-bearing subsoil of the Caspian region.

The outstanding results of I.F. Tevosyan’s work in all leading positions entrusted to him are explained by his deep knowledge of metallurgical production, experience in all positions in production from worker to director, constant study of advanced technologies in other countries, as well as his determination and efficiency.

In 1956, I.F. Tevosyan opposed the proposed N.S. Khrushchev the territorial principle of managing the national economy and proposed to apply some advanced methods of managing US industry in the USSR. The response was the pogrom statements of N.S. Khrushchev and a number of his closest associates addressed to the outstanding industrial leader.

In December 1956, I.F. Tevosyan was relieved of his duties as Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the USSR to Japan. But this honorable exile did not last long. In September 1957, I.F. Tevosyan became seriously ill and flew to Moscow for treatment. Died on March 30, 1958.

The essence of the accusations was that I. F. Tevosyan, citing the experience of German metallurgists, set a course for the production of electric steel, which significantly deteriorates its quality. The Germans do not have firewood, so they are forced to switch to electric steel production. We have enough firewood, and I. F. Tevosyan, instead of developing wood steel, switches to electric, which is sabotage. In response, I. F. Tevosyan stated: it is not true that the quality of electric steel is worse than steel produced using charcoal. Secondly, with the huge increase in the USSR's demand for high-quality steel, metallurgical plants will not have enough Ural forest resources. In addition, charcoal is very expensive. Based on the results of the investigation, I.V. Stalin ordered not to arrest I.F. Tevosyan, although V.M. Molotov considered the issue of his possible recruitment by the German special services not sufficiently clarified. He was under secret surveillance, and the official car was followed by another car until A. I. Mikoyan convinced I. V. Stalin that the suspicions against I. F. Tevosyan were groundless. V. M. Molotov did not get along with G. K. Ordzhonikidze, who protected I. F. Tevosyan, so Sergo’s nominees aroused hostility among the Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars.

Stalin, at the Elektrostal plant in the Moscow region, within two months he received high-quality steel necessary for the mass production of domestic aircraft engines, on the basis of which the Soviet MiG jet aircraft appeared. , which performed well during the Korean War. Then the most difficult thing was to produce heat-resistant steel that could withstand high temperatures. I. F. Tevosyan personally achieved success in this difficult matter. In July 1948 - June 1949, Minister of Metallurgical Industry of the USSR. Under his leadership, new grades of metals for the nuclear industry were created in a short time, and the search for alloys for creating spaceships began.

The document made a strong impression on N. S. Khrushchev, and he raised the question of removing I. F. Tevosyan from all posts. The reason for the inspection was his quarrel with N.S. Khrushchev. According to the story of D. T. Shepilov, I. F. Tevosyan argued with N. S. Khrushchev on a special issue. N.S. Khrushchev was indignant: “Are you arguing with me?” - “Yes, I’m a metallurgist and I know this issue, but you’re talking nonsense.” Then V.M.
