Vyacheslav Simonov - Remember this! Don’t let it sink into oblivion! Second edition. The life and death of the Pioneer Base «Oceanrybflot»

In the mid-sixties, the military wounds had an impact on the health of captain Volodin and the medical commission closed his way out to sea, but allowed him to work in the port. Alexey Artemyevich finished his career in May 1975 as senior assistant captain in the port tug RBT-13.

On September 19, 1976, after a long illness, the veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Captain Volodin Aleksey Artemyevich passed away. Eternal memory to the pioneers and founders of the PBORF fishing industry in Pionersk, Kaliningrad region, who made their way to the world’s oceans.”

On September 1, 1946, a primary school was opened in the village of Neukuhren. Schoolchildren gathered about 100 people. She was located in a small German house. And in 1947 she became a seven-year school. Then, in 1958, a new school was built, designed for 700 students. In 2007, a new modern secondary school was opened on Fleet Street. But by the end of 2018, this school is no longer able to accept the growing generation of the city Pioneersk.

In the autumn of 1946, Yuri Fomenko, Devyaterikov, Klimov, and Ionkin were also sent from Astrakhan to the base. All of them subsequently went to sea by captains and had excellent production figures.

Yuri Ivanovich and Lyubov Fomenko.

Yuri Fomenko then began to work as an inspector, was the chief captain. He was highly respected among the fishers. A long illness soon prevented him from going out to sea. His wife, Lyubov Ivanovna as a medic, supported him in every possible way. In 2012, Yuri Ivanovich died.

Lyubov Ivanovna Fomenko (Gavrashenko) was born in Kherson, graduated from Kherson cult pro-enlightenment school. In 1971 she graduated from Kaliningrad Medical School with a red diploma. At Pioneers Hospital she worked in the maternity ward. Then she went to work in the Pioneers Base in the department of DEA (the deratization of ships, epidemics, and contagious diseases). She supplied medicines for the ship’s first aid kits, instructed the captain’s senior assistants, and carried out the deratization and disinfection of ships.

They raised two sons, Alexander and Yuri. Yuri Yuryevich, a lieutenant colonel, already retired, lives in Astrakhan. Alexander Yuryevich was born in 1963, graduated from the Kvmu named Frunze, served in the Navy. In the rank of captain of the 2nd rank in the reduction of

staff, he left the Navy, received his second higher education and since 1990 began to work in the base. In November 1998, he was elected CEO of Zapmorphlot LLC. The company has two TSM-class fishing vessels. The company’s products are well known to customers from Canada, Japan, China and Denmark.

In July 1947, the Neukuhren Fish Factory became the Pioneersk Fish Factory. In August 1947, on the orders of the Baltic State Fisheries Trust for No. 114, the trawling fleet management (UTF) was organized as an independent economic settlement enterprise in the Pioneersk region of Kaliningrad. G.Y. Ermoshkin was approved as the chief.

In the severe weather conditions of the Baltic, in January- February 1948, the captain of the MRT-50 Peter Yermolayev took on a voyage to the Baltic only those who expressed a desire. Fortune was favourable daredevils. The catch was about five tons. With great difficulty managed to pick up the catch and trawl on board, not having any devices on the ship. So many fish rarely mined. In early June, the crew of MRT-33 “Terrible” Captain Zimovin P.A. extracted 240 tons. This made up the annual plan.

The ships continued to arrive. The total capacity of the fleet was 9,000 horsepower. Fish production increased to 3060 tons. We caught mainly cod, flounder, sprat. In the same year, a 150-metre-long wooden pier and a new fishery building, which was located on the beach, were built. Production at the plant was 457,5 tons, and all products were sold at 1641.6 thousand rubles.

In 1948, construction began on the fish port, which was the second largest in the region. To improve the range of manufactured products built a shop by smoking. In June 1948, Konstantin Sobolev, an experienced fishing captain from Murmansk, who served in this position until 1952, was appointed head of the UTF. The chief engineer was Vasily Albanov.

Dmitry Vasilyevich Ershov.

In the winter of 1949, for the first time captains P.A. Zimovin, P.L. Yermolayev, A.I. Ivanov went to the central part of the Baltic. In the area of the island of Gotland, they started fishing cod. Captains Pavel Bilyak and Grigory Glukhov are included in the regional Book of Honor of the winners of the socialist competition. Also noted are the mechanics Pavel Markianov, Ivan Britikov, Mikhail Venin.

In the same year, a 19-year-old boy was hired as a sailor on MRT-262 “Octopus” Dmitry Vasilyevich Ershov, born in 1930. That’s foto his at the end of March 2016. It is still strong and serves as an example of resilience and love for life. Since 1970 he worked as a mechanic and senior mechanic on the ships of the base. He has been awarded many medals for his work. I want to bring his memories of those times. He wrote an article on my blog, “The give birth of our fish industry.” I bring it completely, observing the style of the author.

“As pioneersk fishermens helped to fill the warehouses of the native land. I have a special date this year. 65 years ago, in 1949, I joined the fishing fleet. Namely – to the Office of the Trawl Fleet, which was in Pioneersk. A 19-year-old boy, I got a job as a sailor on an MRT-262 Octopus. And for many years after that I lived with the ship’s residence permit. Lived like a snail – my house was where the ship was. The formation of the region and the Kaliningrad fishing fleet took place before my eyes. During this time I have studied the history of the region’s fish industry well, taking a direct part in its work.

Along the way he studied – in Mamonovsky UCC (training and course combine), in ShukKPS (school of improvement of personnel of the command boat), in the maritime school.

But a special place in my destiny is occupied by the city of Pioneersk – former Neukuhren.

.. On April 14, 1945, units of the Red Army took possession of Neukuhren. The local port was then two powerful mauls – northern and eastern. There was also a small wooden pier in the southeastern part of the water area. In the northwest part was stranded with numerous boulders. Construction of the port began in 1902. But it was never completed. The war-torn country was in dire need of food. And the fish was supposed to be a powerful help here. On June 14, 1945, an order was issued by Narkomrybprom on the formation of the Baltgosrybtrest. And in July, forty-sixth, our fish factory was being created at an old German fish processing plant a couple of kilometres west of Wanger Bay in Neukuhren. And soon the first catch was brought to Koenigsberg, just renamed Kaliningrad.

Delivery of fish to Tchaikovsky Street, 49—51, where the trust was managed, was entrusted to Ivan Baskakov, a member of the war, a lieutenant. Subsequently, Ivan Ageevich became a senior mechanic of SRT-4294 (in 1957 I was his third mechanic). On July 26, 1947 Neukuhren was renamed Pioneersk. And on September 1 of the same year, UTF was created (Office of the Trawl Fleet), which is located in the house No. 1 on the street of the Embankment. Thus, Neukuhren-Pioneersk became a kind of maternity home of the fishing industry of the Kaliningrad region.
