October 27 marks the 95th anniversary of the birth of Dmitry Mikhailovich Volynets, fishery engineer, organizer of industrial fishing on Pechora, in the White and Barents Seas.
Dmitry Volynets was born in Vypasnoye village of Odessa region. In 1951, he graduated from the Belgorod-Dniester Fishery Technical School and came to the Nenets District on the distribution of the Ministry of Fish Industry. Expected to stay here no more than a year, but stayed for 35 years.
In Naryan-Mar, he headed the expedition fishing of the Pechora motor-fishing station. In 1958, he participated in the creation of the “Alder bush” on Pechora. It allowed to regulate salmon catch and control the passage of fish to spawn. Fishing gear was inspected twice a day, and salmon spawning was counted daily.
- No one has ever built a bridge on such rivers. A colossal work was done: new seines were designed and prepared, 1500 gunders were hammered into the bottom, 5.5 km of cable and 7 km of wire were spent, gates were made for the passage of ships, recalled Dmitry Mikhailovich.
In 1964, Dmitry Volynets organized the Naryan-Mar interkolkhoz production association and headed it until 1986.
During his work in the industry, the fishing collective farms of the district were equipped with a fishing fleet, the organization of fishing was improved and production costs were reduced.
In his memoirs, Dmitry Volynets emphasized that the success of a common cause depends on the efforts of everyone and an honest attitude to work.
— Working in the IGO convinced me of the main thing, what my father taught: any difficulties can be overcome only by joint efforts and on the basis of honest work. The honest will believe, cheat at least once, you will close the road to your future, he wrote.
For services to the fishing industry, Dmitry Volynets was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor. In 1993 he was awarded the title “Honored Worker of Fisheries of the Russian Federation”, and in 2011 – “Honorary Citizen of Naryan-Mara”.
