Father - Mishin Nikolai Ivanovich. Mother - Delukina Tatyana Valentinovna. Wife - Tatyana Oleneva, figure skating coach. A. Mishin's parents knew each other since childhood. They lived in Smolensk on neighboring streets, then studied together at the University of Smolensk, where they listened to lectures by famous professors who often came from Moscow. We played together in the theater.

After graduation, Nikolai Ivanovich was sent to work in the village of Gusino, and Tatyana Valentinovna was distributed to a large city of another region as a teacher of technical school. But when she arrived there, it turned out that the place was already occupied. Returning to Smolensk, she learned from the neighbors that Kolya Mishin came from Gusino, and he had places there.

So they both ended up in Gusino, where they got married in the year. In the year, their daughter Lyudmila was born. At this time, Nikolai Ivanovich received an invitation to graduate school of Leningrad University. At the end of graduate school, he was sent to the teacher to the Higher Naval School named after F. Dzerzhinsky, and the family moved to Leningrad.

So the fate of Nikolai Ivanovich changed - he became a military man. Soon he was transferred to Sevastopol, to the new naval school. Tatyana Valentinovna also taught at the school. Here, in Sevastopol, a few months before the start of World War II, they had a son Alexei. In early July, it was recommended that the school officers recommend their families from the city.

All Mishin's relatives remained in Smolensk, where a heavy battle unfolded. There was nowhere to leave Sevastopol. Then a friend of Nikolai Ivanovich advised him to go to his parents in Ulyanovsk. Despite the fact that in Ulyanovsk, in a strange house, Tatyana Valentinovna and her children were warm and cordially accepted, they barely survived this first year of evacuation.

Even the mother’s beautiful crepeles dresses did not save, which were sold at the bazaar at a high price, there was nothing to feed children. As a result, Alexei developed rickets and the boy could not survive, if not for his mother. In the courtyard, right in the stones, she knocked out the holes, applied the ground from the shore of the Volga, fell asleep into the holes and planted tomatoes.

And with these tomatoes she cured her son. Meanwhile, the father, together with other teachers of the Sevastopol School, was sent to the sea infantry. In the fall of the year he was transferred to Moscow, and from there to the North-Western Front, where he mainly fought. Then Nikolai Ivanovich was sent to Solovki as a senior teacher, to the Jung school, where, by the way, the future writer Valentin Pikul studied.

At the end of the war, he was transferred to Tbilisi, which had just opened on the 2nd after the Leningradsky Nakhimovsky Naval School. The father brought here from evacuation to his wife and children. They were settled in a broken, cold hotel "Colchis". Soon Mishina received a good three -room apartment on a quiet street with small courtyards, twisted grapes. But they did not live there for long - their father was transferred to Leningrad, where they were given a room in a communal apartment on Ruzovskaya Street.

The childhood of Alexei Mishin fell on the harsh post -war years. He grew up a very dynamic child, spent a lot of time on the street. Father loved to skate and often took Lyudmila and Alexei with him to a rink, lent their skates for their friend. Lyudmila, who studied at the university, once, having received a scholarship, gave her brother the Snow Maiden. From this moment, figure skating entered his life.

Having scouring the “Snow Maiden” to the felt boots, Alexei went on the corner of suburban prospectus and waited for some truck to turn on their street. Clinging to the back, he rolled along with a truck, writing out arcs and semicircles, going around the irregularities on the road, not thinking about what could happen if he did not disappear from the truck in time passing by the Anichkov Palace, his father saw how the children rode around the skates around the flowerbed.

It was there, around this flowerbed, immediately after the war, figure skating in Leningrad appeared, began their sports career of Belousov, Protopopov, Stanislav Zhuk. Nikolai Ivanovich liked it, and he had the idea to give his son to a figure skating section, where wonderful athletes, a galaxy of future champions were engaged in. After school, Alexei Mishin also became interested in electronics and wanted to become an engineer; In the year he graduated from the Leningrad Electromechanical Institute named after V.

But life turned out differently - the fascination with figure skating grew into the profession. Alexei began to engage in figure skating in the year. At that time, this sport became one of the most striking, noticeable phenomena in the life of the country. The Soviet skaters arose the question: is it not time to try strength in the international arena? The first coach of Alexei Mishina was Nina Vasilievna Leplinskaya - a talented teacher, a student of the legendary Nikolai Panin, the first Russian Olympic champion.

Under her leadership, Alexei quickly mastered the basics of figure skating, he did it very quickly. Tamara Moskvina was engaged in the same rink. And pretty soon they were set in pair. The sports career of Mishina and Moskvin was successful.They won the USSR championship, became the silver medalists of the World Cup and the European Championship - the championship then firmly held Belousov and Protopopov.

Mishin and Moskvin participated in many competitions, literally advancing “on the heels” of the famous duet, but they had not yet managed to surpass it. The moment when Mishin and Moskvin first beat Belousov and Protopopov, is one of the brightest in their sports life. Then, twice at other competitions, they left the legendary duet behind. The Soviet skaters in the year achieved remarkable success: at the European and World championships, they first won the entire podium in paired skating.

They ended his career without any painful phenomena that are with an athlete when he leaves great sport. ” Leaving the sport, A. Mishin and T. Moskvin took up coaching activities. In the year they performed the last season. And already in the year, the student A. Mishin Yuri Ovchinnikov became the champion of the Soviet Union. A whole cohort of strong young athletes gathered in his group: Jeanne Ilyina, Lenya Kazankov, Vitalik Egorov champion of the world among juniors.

Mishina came to train his future wife Tatyana Olenev, who became the champion of the Soviet Union, performed at the European Championship. Women's figure skating in the USSR at that time was very far behind other types of figure skating. To strengthen this sport, special groups for gifted girls were organized in Moscow and Leningrad on the basis of trade unions.

The sports committee asked A. Mishin to head the Leningrad group. And he, in turn, suggested Tatyana Oleneva to work together, telling her that it was time to think about the future. Soon they got married, and a year later their first son was born - Andrei. Tatyana Oleneva was seriously engaged in coaching, and in the year her students took 2nd and 3rd places at the World Cup among juniors.

Before the Olympic Games in the Innsbruck, Alexei Mishin, who by that time was the coach of the USSR national team, was surprised to find out that he had become "nonsense". The already imprinted book “Figure Skating for All” was already printed on the eve of Lenizdat, 50 thousand official explanations were not rumored, someone wrote a denunciation for him. The intrigue continued.

Mishina stopped showing on television. But they were not forbidden to train. He remained the coach of the national team of the USSR. His pupils performed at the European and World championships, and he learned about everything only by phone. Three years - no one accepted him, they were afraid to speak with him, not knowing that he decided to answer all one call. Mishin made an appointment with the head of Soviet sports Sergei Pavlov and told him about his misadventures.

Pavlov asked the secretary to connect him with Boris Ivanovich Aristov, the first secretary of the city committee when Mishin returned from Moscow to Leningrad, his “business” was already removed from the “black cabinet”. Freedom is a constructive beginning, it determines progress, pushes people forward. ” Mishina began a new era in life, a new generation of talented students, among them Olympic champion, European champion, repeated champion of Russia Alexei Urmanov; Alexey Yagudin - Olympic champion, four -time world champion, three -time European champion, repeated medalist of Russian championships; Evgeny Plushenko is a two -time Olympic champion, three -time world champion,, seven -time European champion,,,, ten -time champion of Russia and many others.

Mishin is convinced that creative searches in figure skating have no bounds. In figure skating, it is quite stupid to live nostalgia, since everything that is created in motion is quickly obsolete. The most important and terrible mistake of the coach is when he begins to teach the student “for himself”. Because, no matter what an outstanding athlete you are, a year or two after you finished riding, figure skating will go forward.

And to teach "for yourself" is a rough mistake. It is necessary to teach for the future, for the future, to see the direction of development ... We must teach how no one has taught yet - and then you will be a champion. ”
