If to tell, that Boris Gorkin has seen all former Soviet Union means, to tell nothing. He, graduate with red diploma of the Leningrad institute of the engineers of a railway transportation, was thrown by destiny of the builder all across the land of that immense native land.
The beginning of labour activity turned out to be in a middle fiftieth - time of unprecedented enthusiasm, rise of spiritual, creative forces of our people. Sverdlovsk, Krasnoyarsk, Abaka-Tayshet, Achinsk-Abalakovo, Tyumen-Surgut-Nizhnevartovsk, BAM, Akrogay-Sayak, Malinovoe lake-Lokot, Sludyanka-Mysovaya-Chita, Yurga-Topki-Leninsk Kuznetsk, Taiga-Tomsk, Karaganda-Arys-Chu, Ulan-Ude, Kurgan, Nizhneudinsk, Ekibastuz… According the labour biography of Boris Gorkin it was possible to study geography. Built everything, that the power complex in Siberia, Central Asia, Kazakhstan and on Ural was required to the country - rail ways, factories of metal designs, container house-building.
It is not necessary far to go. Let's take Astana. With his participation - the chief of the largest trust "Kazakhtrans techmontage", which he headed for 13 years, constructs all remarkable objects - Palaces of culture and sports, Whole quarters of houses, office buildings, fountains much another. Those years the collective of trust was as never professional, mobile. It now we try to not put in a merit victory in labor rivalry, we consider with the far-fetched formality of the award and naivety aspiration of the man to work well and honestly. But you see it was, and it is impossible to throw out words from song. Eight times the collective of trust "Kazakhtrans techmontage", in its government won a passing Red Banner in All-Union socialist competition. Up to a maximum class was finished and - the banner was left to trust for eternal storage.
And let it be not that story, which somebody would like today to make true, but it was the normal life, and who from the normal people was disappointed in it. As does not regret about those years, complete anxiety, disorder moving, transitions, changes Boris Gorkin. How much he is not ashamed of the awards and medals. He earned. He deserved it not by pious speeches, but businesses. Certainly, today much, that was created by him and his comrades is reconstructed, is altered, and varies. There is nothing terrible. It is good, that life goes forward. If only the man could feel adequately in the surrounding world. Boris Gorkin considers it is not in the last instance depends on the man. So it was possible, that him capable to love life unconditionally to be in constant movement, the destiny has limited in impulses and actions... But he did not begin less to value that, what and who surrounds him. Unless can the man be unhappy, if beside there are a lot of close people - wife, children, grand daughter. And how many them, friends good?! He is pleased with that at them everything goes well, it's a sin to envy. And the favorite people do not cease to be surprised with interest of Boris Gorkin to classical music, pure literature, to an applied art is not lost, and on the contrary, becomes thinner, and more exacting. The soul does not cease to work: worries, is glad, compassionates, forgives, feels pity, saddens and main - loves. And Boris Gorkin is strong in it. And on day of anniversary, probably, all these words will be told him by the numerous visitors, and closest, who knows him very very well, will say toast for his courage.
