Makarenko Evgeny Mikhailovich Deputy of the Tyumen Regional Duma. Evgeny Makarenko - Honored Master of Sports of Russia

Alexander Maletin, Vasily Wolf, Evgeny Makarenko

As a child, I tried many sports - I went in for wrestling, swimming, karate, played for the school in competitions in cross-country skiing, basketball, and athletics. It was also possible to participate in street "fistfights" - not without it (laughs). So my arrival in boxing cannot be called accidental. And it took place in 1986, when I was in the fourth grade.

Just at that time, coach Vasily Vasilyevich Wolf went to schools - he invited the guys to the boxing section. Signed up. I liked the first training session, and the coach too. A little earlier, my peer, the future Olympic medalist Sasha Maletin, began to study in it. We studied at different schools, but the section brought us together and made friends. Since then, we have been going through life together. They won not only in the ring - they once won elections to the City Duma with him, where they worked for the allotted time. So I got my first deputy experience in my native Nizhnevartovsk. I believe that here I have more opportunities to help develop both my district and our region. And the country as a whole.

What do you remember most from your “boxing” childhood? Our first sports camp - consider that we spent the whole summer in Ukraine. The coach constantly inspired us: in order, they say, to achieve success in sports, you need to train hard, do not miss training. But then, after several months of sectional classes, I did not think about any championship. And then one day with two friends we decided to go fishing instead of training. At the evening formation, Wolf commands: "Who was not in training, three steps forward." We go out. He: "So, after dinner you will have sparring with the guys from the senior group." I got a strong guy, but I survived one round. Vasily Vasilyevich appreciated this - there is, they say, character. And he transferred me to train in the senior group.

Constantly meeting with children, youth, I often hear: were you worried when you entered the ring, but did you lose? Of course I was worried. And I had to lose. But there are no victories without defeats. Only, God forbid, give in to euphoria with their arrival - retribution will follow immediately. We were lucky in this regard - the coach set big goals for us, but it was not customary for us to “revel in victories”.

With a sports specialization, I apparently got into the top ten - training was a pleasure for me, and fate did not deprive me of victories. At the age of sixteen he became a finalist in the last youth championship of the USSR, at eighteen he won the junior championship of Russia and Europe, at nineteen he won the “gold” of the adult championship of the country, and received the right to represent Russia at the Goodwill Games in St. Petersburg. However, he did not justify his hopes - he lost the first fight to the Cuban. The following year, 1995, he again became the “first glove” of the country, but again lost the first fight at the World Championships in Berlin. And again, my offenders turned out to be a boxer from Liberty Island.

By that time I was overwhelmed by everyday problems. I quit boxing and went to Moscow, where I lived for a whole year. But, apparently, sport is an incurable disease. Nostalgia overwhelmed me when in Podolsk (where the team was preparing for the Games) I saw off the guys to the Olympics-96. Stayed up late then with Oleg Saitov, with whom I have a strong friendship. I watched the final fight, the hardest for him, on TV. When the referee raised Oleg's hand up, he rejoiced no less than himself. And then he suddenly thought: “But in this Olympic ring, I could also box.”

Having met Oleg at the capital's airport, I asked to see the gold medal he had won. I held it in my hands, and ... I was again pulled into the ring. I started moving - running, jumping, chasing football ... And two months later, as if guessing my mood, Vasily Vasilyevich called (I constantly kept in touch with him) - “do you want to go to a match meeting with Germany?” The offer was accepted without hesitation. True, I had to box not with a German, but with my own. But I got a good shake-up, and I realized that Moscow is not for me, I need to return home and mind my own business.

For a year of life in the capital without boxing in my weight category - up to 81 kg - a new leader has appeared: the captain of the Russian national team Alexander Lebzyak. After a victorious performance at the 2000 Olympics, where I happened to be his sparring partner, he left the big sport. And I became the leader of the national team, the guys elected me as their captain. On July 13, 2001, in Belfast, Ireland, he won the “gold” of the World Championship, defeating ... a Cuban in the first fight. I remember the exact date because the day before was the birthday of both my mother and my sister. By the way, memorable coincidences have happened before. So, I won the victory at the World Cup among oil countries held in Nizhnevartovsk on the day of my father's 50th birthday. And my son Evgeny was born in 1998 after winning the Dynamo Championship, which also took place in our city. The wife watched the competition and went to the hospital.

Of course, I wanted my son to take up boxing. His wife even bought boxing gloves for him as soon as he started walking. But Zhenya fell in love with hockey at a kindergarten age. I bought him a hockey uniform in Moscow, put it under the Christmas tree - go, I say, look what Santa Claus brought you. He approached, took out a gift, and theatrically fell to his knees - “Oh, God! I dreamed about this all my life!” Now the team has broken up, so it is not engaged yet. But, I think, we will move to Tyumen, will do it again.

In 2003, at the World Championships in Thailand, I managed to win my second gold medal, and I went to the 2004 Games as the first number. By that time, the press had already elevated me to the Olympic champions, hung a medal around my neck ... Although the immunity instilled by Wolf saved me from euphoria, such lulling could not affect my psyche. Consciously, I understood that it was impossible to relax, but ... As a result, having won the first fight against the strongest Cuban, in the second I lost to a little-known American.

Do I have a desire to get into coaching? From the experience of my mentor, I know that this is hellish and responsible work, to which you must devote all your time. Until I'm ready for it. Although, in principle, I like raising children. You need to talk to them more. Vasily Vasilyevich constantly talked to us, he not only trained us, but also taught us how to live. Including personal example. Whenever possible, I enjoy interacting with children. Not so long ago, for example, at the request of the Priboy coaches, I conducted a demonstrative training with the pupils of this sports school, after which I answered all their questions.

I try to keep my fitness level as well. We are currently hosting a competition between the executive and legislative branches. It was not possible to compete in cross-country skiing - he was on a business trip. But he took part in the mini-football tournament. I am also determined to compete in volleyball and shooting competitions.

From the dossier "SR"

Evgeny Makarenko was born on October 10, 1975 in Nizhnevartovsk. Graduated from the local pedagogical institute. In 2007, he defended his Ph.D. in Pedagogical Sciences at Lesgaft St. Petersburg University of Physical Education. In 2006 - 2011 he was a deputy of the Duma of the city of Nizhnevartovsk. At the time of his election to the Tyumen Regional Duma, he headed the Nizhnevartovsk branch of the Center for Sports Training of the Yugra National Teams. Two-time world and European champion, eight-time Russian boxing champion. Winner of the Nikolai Nikiforov-Denisov Cup, as the most technical boxer of the 2002 European Championship. From 2001 to 2007 - captain of the national team. Cavalier of the Order of Friendship. He and his wife Elena have two daughters and a son. He enjoys playing the guitar, reading books, fishing.

In 2002, at the European Championships in Perm, the Russian team did something unprecedented. She managed to win 9 gold medals out of 12, Evgeny Makarenko was among the champions. In addition to the gold medal, Evgeny took to his native Khanty-Mansiysk District and the Nikolai Nikiforov-Denisov Cup, as the most technical boxer of the European Championship. The first owner of this Cup, established in 1974 in honor of the outstanding merits of the President of the Continental European Bureau of AIBA N.A.

2003 brought new success. At the World Championships in Thailand, Russian boxers received 3 gold and three silver medals. And again, like a year ago, Eugene received the highest award. Now it remains to be hoped that next year at the Olympic Games, Eugene will not deviate from the established tradition.

Evgeny Makarenko: I don't have a Cuban complex

Surprisingly charming and handsome captain of the Russian national team Yevgeny Makarenko, fate prepared real trials in Belfast. First, a blind and indifferent draw gave him the right to open the current championship for our team (on the very first day of the competition, Zhenya had to fight with the Cuban Hernandez Martinez), and then in the final battle to decide the fate of the second team place. The 26-year-old student of the honored coach of Russia Vasily Volf passed both exams for "five" with a plus.

- Zhenya, so far there has not been a serious reason for an interview with you in the central press, so let's look back from the height of the peak won in Belfast. How did you hit the side With?

It all started with two pairs of gloves, which my father gave me and my brother in 1985. At that time it was a terrible shortage, therefore, handing them over, my father made it clear to us that he bought them not for fun, but for the sake of serious studies in the section. At that time I was 10 years old, Dima - 11, and we, of course, first tried out the purchase in home sparring. I don’t know, maybe because I constantly beat him, but Dima never got to the section. And although I had previously been engaged in swimming, wrestling and basketball, at the first meeting with Vasily Vasilyevich Wolf I realized that boxing was my sport.

- Probably now Dima will regret that he did not go to the section with you then?

Alas, he is no longer alive - less than a year ago he died of a heart attack. But I also have a younger brother Andrei, who competed at the Russian Junior Championship this year. I hope my victory will give him additional strength.

- When you came to the section led by Wolf, was your current teammate Sasha Maletin already there?

Yes, but we met and became friends not at once. This required a trip to a sports camp in Ukraine, which was in the same 85th year.

If I go professional, then only after the Olympics

I met the captain of our team Yevgeny Makarenko, who competes in the weight category up to 91 kg, on the eve of his semifinal fight. In life, by the way, Makarenko makes a very pleasant impression, causes great sympathy for everyone. I noticed this back in Podolsk at the Golden Ring tournament. A friendly look, one of those that are called open, ready to smile at any moment. I would say that this does not fit in with the appearance of a boxer if I had not seen many fighters who did not correspond to traditional ideas.
- What are your impressions of the tournament? - Makarenko's question.

It is well organized and the fans welcome it warmly. So first of all I want to thank everyone. The championship itself, as you know, began with the fact that Gaidarbekov was unlucky.

- I noticed that they talk about him here almost more than about the winners.

- Certainly. It's just embarrassing for him. Gaidarbek is a very gifted boxer. But he wasn't ready to fight. This happens to many people.

-Is it hard to be the captain of the national team after Lebziak?

Not easy. Many people probably compare me with him, but somehow I don’t think about it. I understand that now I have much more responsibility.

- In addition, you should remember about your opponents. By the way, who are you fighting next?

- With Belarusian Viktor Zuev ....

Evgeny Makarenko will not perform at the Boxing World Cup

Two-time world boxing champion, captain of the Russian national team Yevgeny Makarenko, who missed the European Championship due to injury, will also not go to the World Cup, which will be held from October 14 to 22 in Baku, but will perform at another World Cup among oil countries. This was reported to the All Sport agency by Makarenko himself. “Now I am in Sochi, I got out for 10 days to rest with my wife and children,” Makarenko said. - There were plans to go to the recovery camp in Turkey together with the national team, but we did not agree on the timing. In addition, it is necessary to communicate with children at least occasionally, I have three of them. As soon as I get back, I'll start preparing. I will definitely not go to Azerbaijan for the World Cup in October, after all, there is not much time left for preparation. But I will definitely perform at the traditional World Cup among oil countries in front of fellow countrymen in Nizhnevartovsk in December.”

Beibut Shumenov: I follow the world and European champion Yevgeny Makarenko all the time

One of the best boxers of the Kazakhstan national team, the 2004 Asian champion from Shymkent, Beibut Shumenov, is very reverent about his first Olympiad in his career. Still would. Getting to the Olympics as a 20-year-old guy is not for everyone.

There is not much left before the Olympics, everyone is hiding like mice in the corners, - Beibut Shumenov tells the correspondent of OUR SPORT. Everyone wants to study each other. For example, I often watch and analyze the fights of the Russian Yevgeny Makarenko. I'm looking forward to face-to-face with him!

The selection for the Olympic Games in Athens for boxers has not yet ended. Last weekend in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, a European qualifying tournament was held. In Asia, the last package of licenses will be raffled off in May in Pakistan. But now the circle of rivals is narrowing and narrowing. As if the victims on the list are studied by both coaches and boxers.

One of the most formidable and eminent enemies at the Athens Olympics for Shumenov will be the Russian Yevgeny Makarenko. This is the pinnacle of the Russian national team, its captain, its pride and hope.

- Makarenko - two-time European champion and world champion in 2003. Unfortunately, I have not yet met him in the ring, but this will happen soon, - Beibut Shumenov assures. - I know that he is very demanding of himself. And his coach is one of the best in Russia.

- Can you meet him before the Olympics?

- I think that in St. Petersburg at the annual tournament with the participation of 34 countries, he should go to Athens. Or at some other major competition. All the strongest will be there. This is one of those rare opportunities to meet before the Olympics.

“The head is not needed to be beaten on it”

At the European Boxing Championship, which recently ended in Croatia, the captain of the Russian national team, Evgeny Makarenko, cut all five of his opponents, as they say, to a nut. In the ring he is a real hurricane, but outside of him he is a gentle and sociable person. He will never refuse an interview, he will answer questions in detail and, finally, he will definitely treat you with something. After the return of the Russian national team, Novye Izvestia did not miss the opportunity to talk with him.

- Did you yourself believe that the team would be able to take nine gold medals at the second European Championship in a row?

– To be honest, we were hoping for a similar result. The closer the finals were, the more we believed that we could win almost all of the European "gold". True, sometimes doubts crept in that the judges would not allow the boxers of one country to so often rise to the first step of the podium. But we were head and shoulders above our rivals. Everyone saw it, and the judges, even if they wanted to, could not do anything here.

- Which of your teammates would you like to highlight?

– All good fellows. But I am especially happy for Gena Kovalev. He is one of the youngest in our team, but he has already played at big tournaments, was the silver medalist of the world and European championships, but he just couldn’t manage to become the first. In Croatia, he fought superbly, in the final he defeated the very strong Frenchman Ali Allab. I would also like to thank our head coach Nikolai Khromov and the entire coaching staff. Thanks to them, we came to the championship in great shape....
