An excerpt characterizing Sloka, Viktor Karlovich
“I’m listening,” Dron replied, without looking up.Alpatych was not satisfied with this answer.
- Hey, Dron, it will be bad! - said Alpatych, shaking his head.
- The power is yours! - said Dron sadly.
- Hey, Dron, leave it! - repeated Alpatych, taking his hand out of his bosom and pointing it with a solemn gesture to the floor under Dron's feet. “I'm not like right through you, I can see through and through everything three yards under you,” he said, peering at the floor under Dron’s feet.
The drone was embarrassed, glanced quickly at Alpatych and dropped his eyes again.
- You leave nonsense and tell the people to get ready from their houses to go to Moscow and prepare carts tomorrow morning for the princess' s train, but don't go to the gathering yourself. Do you hear?
The drone suddenly fell at his feet.
- Yakov Alpatych, fire! Take the keys from me, dismiss me for Christ's sake.
- Leave it! - said Alpatych sternly. `` I can see right through you for three yards under you, '' he repeated, knowing that his skill in following the bees, the knowledge of when to sow oats, and the fact that he had been able to please the old prince for twenty years, had long since acquired his fame as a sorcerer and that the ability to see three arshins under a man is attributed to sorcerers.
The drone got up and wanted to say something, but Alpatych interrupted him:
- What are you thinking? Huh? .. What do you think? A?
- What should I do with the people? - said Dron. - Drilled at all. I tell them even that ...
- That's what I say, - said Alpatych. - Do they drink? He asked shortly.
- All drilled, Yakov Alpatych: another barrel was brought.
- So you listen. I’ll go to the police chief, and you’ll lead the people, so that they abandon it, and so that there are carts.
- Yes, - answered Dron.
More Yakov Alpatych did not insist. He ruled over the people for a long time and knew that the main means for people to obey is not to show them doubts that they can disobey. Having obtained from Dron the obedient "I listen with", Yakov Alpatych was satisfied with this, although he not only doubted, but was almost sure that the carts would not be delivered without the help of a military command.
Indeed, by the evening the carts were not collected. In the village at the tavern there was again a gathering, and at the gathering it was supposed to drive the horses into the forest and not give out the carts. Without saying anything about this princess, Alpatych ordered to lay down his own luggage from those who came from the Bald Mountains and prepare these horses for the princess's carriages, and he himself went to the authorities.

After her father's funeral, Princess Marya locked herself in her room and did not let anyone in. A girl came up to the door to say that Alpatych had come to ask for an order to leave. (This was even before Alpatych's conversation with Drone.) Princess Marya got up from the sofa on which she was lying, and through the closed door said that she would never go anywhere and asked to be left alone.
The windows of the room in which Princess Marya lay were to the west. She lay on the sofa, facing the wall and, fingering the buttons on the leather pillow, saw only this pillow, and her vague thoughts were focused on one thing: she was thinking about the irreversibility of death and about that spiritual abomination of hers, which she did not know until now and which showed up during her father's illness. She wanted, but did not dare to pray, did not dare, in the state of mind in which she was, turn to God. She lay in this position for a long time.
The sun went down on the other side of the house and oblique evening rays through the open windows illuminated the room and part of the morocco pillow, at which Princess Marya was looking. Her train of thought suddenly stopped. She unconsciously got up, straightened her hair, got up and went to the window, involuntarily breathing in the coolness of the clear but windy evening.
“Yes, now it is convenient for you to enjoy the evening! He's gone, and no one will bother you, ”she said to herself, and, sinking into a chair, she fell with her head on the windowsill.
Someone in a gentle and quiet voice called her from the side of the garden and kissed her on the head. She looked around. It was m lle Bourienne, in a black dress and pleats. She quietly went up to Princess Marya, kissed her with a sigh, and immediately burst into tears. Princess Marya looked back at her. All previous encounters with her, jealousy of her, were recalled to Princess Marya; I also remembered how he had recently changed to m lle Bourienne, could not see her, and, consequently, how unjust were those reproaches that Princess Marya in her soul did to her. “And whether I, whether I, who wished his death, condemn someone! She thought.
Princess Marya vividly imagined the situation of m lle Bourienne, recently distant from her society, but at the same time dependent on her and living in a strange house. And she felt sorry for her. She meekly looked inquiringly at her and held out her hand to her. M lle Bourienne immediately burst into tears, began kissing her hand and talking about the grief that befell the princess, making herself a participant in this grief. She said that the only consolation in her grief was that the princess had allowed her to share it with her. She said that all former misunderstandings must be destroyed before the great grief, that she feels pure in front of everyone and that from there he sees her love and gratitude. The princess listened to her, not understanding her words, but occasionally glancing at her and listening to the sounds of her voice.
The grave of the Latvian Viktor Sloka (“Vitya Murmansky”), buried in the Southern Cemetery, is decorated with an ornate cross with a touching inscription “Lord, have mercy”. On the side of it, in a special frame, is a portrait of Viktor Yanisovich, sadly looking at visitors. The cross resembles a cake decorated with curls rather than a grave monument, and the inscription, given the biography of the deceased, looks rather cynical.
The Lord already showed extraordinary mercy to the citizen Sloka, repeatedly saving his life and giving him the opportunity to reform. In 1986, after serving for hooliganism and inflicting grievous bodily harm, he began to study as a turner, became a master of sports in classical wrestling, but in 1989 he had a fight in one of the taverns of his native Murmansk with a local policeman. Heaven again showed its kindness, Viktor was not shot on the spot, he calmly settled in Leningrad, but instead of doing honest work, he put together a gang of athletes and took up racketeering. Divine mercy overtook Sloka twice more: being arrested first for resisting the police, and then for illegally carrying weapons, he spent less than a year behind bars each time.
Further, the benevolence of the higher powers dawned on the business of "Viti Murmanskiy". True, few people remember the legal successes of the companies associated with it "Gora", "Eurotex", "Ipeks" and "North-West Trading Company", but in the St. Petersburg port Viktor Yanisovich rose remarkably in import, export, storage and trade confiscated. According to other rumors, Viktor Yanisovich, among others, was at the origin of the multibillion-dollar customs phenomenon, which recently resulted in the all-Russian scandal over the Cherkizovsky market. Whether it is true or not, it is difficult to say, but Sloka, no doubt, was well acquainted with the main persons involved in the customs schemes. They say that partnerships, for example, with state security officers Andrei Gusev and Andrei Korol, could greatly contribute to this.
Despite such connections, Sloka was considered a violent man. So, on January 23, 1993, having lost 100 thousand rubles with friends in the Palanga restaurant, a hot Latvian guy accused the winners of cheating, made a brawl, was thrown out by the guards. A short time later, the company returned and fired a pistol at the windows of the establishment, but despite the cartridges found in Sloka's car, Victor escaped punishment again.
The last time "Murmanskiy" was very lucky on December 21, 1998, when the fighters of the same gang of killers tried to destroy it, which then eliminated the vice-speaker of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg Viktor Novosyolov. The group consisted of two, but the goal was delayed in the negotiations, and the future assassin of Novosyolov, Artur Gudkov, was briefly absent. As a result, the second submachine gunner had to act alone - after several hits, Sloka managed to get out of the car, and his friends managed to take the wounded man to the hospital.
Recovered Viktor Yanisovich accused a certain Ernest Malyshev of his misadventures, who maliciously refused to return a debt of 130 thousand US dollars. Through city newspapers "Murmanskiy" even promised to put Mr. Malyshev in an anthill, but on August 25, 2000, another killers tracked him down at the entrance. Sloka met the enemies with the resilience of a red Latvian shooter - despite the received automatic fire, he took cover behind the playground, opened return fire from "Walter" and even wounded both attackers. His in many ways unique life was cut short by a control shot to the head.
Sloka Viktor Karlovich - General Director of JSC "Radio Engineering Institute named after Academician A. L. Mints", Moscow.
Born on February 20, 1932 in Moscow in the family of a former red Latvian rifleman. The father was illegally arrested in 1938 and shot, in 1956 he was rehabilitated. Latvian. He graduated from the 9th grade of school in Moscow.
1952 - Moscow Aviation Instrumentation Technical School. The thesis turned out to be so deep and creative that, after revision, it was published in a scientific journal.
In 1952 he was assigned to the defense plant # 339 (now "Phazotron-NIIR"), where he worked as a technician, engineer, senior engineer, leading designer, head of the laboratory. In 1958 he graduated from the evening department of the Moscow Aviation Institute named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze, and in 1963 - the correspondence postgraduate course at this institute.
Since 1964 he has been working continuously at the Moscow Radio Engineering Institute named after Academician A.L. Mints - the head enterprise for the design and creation of radar systems (radar) for defense purposes. He was a senior researcher, head of department, head of a research department. Participated in the creation of the advanced Soviet radars "Dnestr", "Dnepr", "Daryal". In 1977-1996, he was General Director and Scientific Director of the A.L. Mints.
In 1972 V.K. Sloka was appointed Chief Designer of the Don-2N multifunctional radar system for the country's missile defense system. This radar did not even have close analogs in the country and was ahead of the most advanced US systems in terms of the absolute majority of parameters, in other countries there was not even anything like it. The construction of the Don-2N radar began in 1978, and it was fully manufactured and put on alert in 1989. It is located in the Moscow region and provides anti-missile security for the entire Central European part of Russia; its range is over 3,000 kilometers. The radar is located in a complex specially built for it in the form of a truncated pyramid, the base of each side of which is over 100 meters long. The complex has 14 floors in height and 7 in depth from the surface of the earth. The exact parameters and "stuffing" of this complex is one of the most guarded state secrets, but it is known that over 1000 equipment cabinets have been installed there, and the total cable length is 20,000 kilometers.
The efficiency of the Don-N radar is evidenced by the following experiment carried out in 1994: three balls 5, 10 and 15 centimeters in diameter were launched into open space from one of the American shuttles. "Don" spotted all three balls and issued in record time the calculation of their trajectory, the American radars found only two larger balls, the radars of other countries participating in the experiment did not detect anything.
For the courage and heroism shown during the creation and testing of the radar complex, by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 28, 1996 to the Director General and Scientific Director of the A.L. Mints Sloke Victor Karlovich awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation.
Since 1998 V.K. Sloka - General Designer of A.L. Mints ". At the same time, since 2003 - General Designer of OJSC Concern RTI-Systems. Member of the Scientific Council under the Security Council of the Russian Federation (until 2013).
Founder of a scientific school in the field of radio information technologies, complex information-measuring and telecommunication complexes, systems for generating, receiving and processing signals. Author of over 120 scientific works, including 2 monographs, 20 copyright certificates for inventions.
Simultaneously with his main work, he is engaged in the training of scientific personnel: from 1970 - a teacher, and from 1979 to 2011 - head of the Department of Radiophysics of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. He has trained more than 10 candidates of sciences.
He lived in the city of Moscow. He died on December 13, 2018. He was buried at the Federal War Memorial Cemetery in Moscow.
Member of the Academy of Technological Sciences of the Russian Federation (1990), the Academy of Engineering Sciences of the Russian Federation (1991), the International Academy of Informatization (1992), the International Academy of Communications (1996). Doctor of Technical Sciences (1984, Candidate of Technical Sciences since 1964). Professor (1987).
He was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor (02/11/1985), medals.
USSR State Prize (1979). Honorary Radio Operator (1976).
Sloka became known to the country relatively recently - no more than a quarter of a century ago. And before that, he was the designer of the most secret missile attack warning system (SPRN) in the Soviet Union.
Viktor Sloka was born on February 20, 1932 in Moscow into the family of a former Latvian rifleman. He graduated from high school, in 1952 - the Moscow Instrument-Making College. By assignment, he was sent to the defense enterprise "Plant No. 339", which manufactured aviation radio equipment. In 1958 he graduated from the evening department of the Moscow Aviation Institute with a degree in Radio Engineering.
The designer's talent was revealed in Viktor Sloka already at the technical school. His proposals for the development of an oscilloscope, outlined in his thesis project, surprised the teacher, and he advised the young man to publish a work containing a number of original ideas in a specialized journal.
Viktor Karlovich's business and creative abilities were fully revealed at the Academician A.L. Mints Radio Engineering Institute (RTI), where he consistently held the positions of a senior researcher, head of a department and a research department. From 1977 to 1996 - Director of the RTI, from 1996 - General Designer of OJSC "Radio Engineering Institute named after AL Mints".
Surprisingly, at RTI, Sloku was initially reluctant to hire. The personnel department said that they were prohibited from accepting a young specialist. Perhaps the reason was that his father was arrested in March 1938 and shot two months later. In 1956, Karl Sloka was rehabilitated, but personnel officers have their own logic ... And yet, despite the prohibitions, Alexander Lvovich Mints took Viktor to his institute.
During the growing Cold War, Sloka was appointed chief designer of the Don-2N multifunctional radar. In 1989, the station was put into service, in 1996 it was put on alert as part of the anti-missile defense system of the Central Industrial Region. At that time, the radar did not have domestic analogues and was ahead of the most advanced systems in other countries in most parameters. Its range exceeds three thousand kilometers. It is still the basis for the missile defense system of Moscow and the Central Industrial Region.
By presidential decree of December 28, 1996, Viktor Karlovich Sloka was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. It is a classified document that has never been published. The certificate for the Gold Star medal with number 0376 reads: “For courage and heroism shown during the creation and testing of the radar complex”.
From 1979 to 2010, Viktor Karlovich Sloka was the head of the Department of Radiophysics of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, formed on the basis of the RTI. He created a scientific school for the theoretical and practical development of complex radio measuring and telecommunication complexes, as well as systems for processing complex signals.
In the 90s, he was consistently elected a full member of the Academy of Technological Sciences of the Russian Federation, the Academy of Engineering Sciences named after A.M. Prokhorov, the International Academy of Informatization, and the International Academy of Communications.
Viktor Karlovich, colleagues testify, was a real leader and firmly believed: there are no impossible tasks. He was distinguished by extraordinary insight, the ability to correctly assess the situation and foresee the development of events. The sociable and open character of the leader has always created a creative atmosphere when solving the most difficult issues. Viktor Karlovich Sloka was a Designer, Scientist and Mentor with a capital letter.
The Military Industrial Courier expresses its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Viktor Karlovich Sloka.
