Vsevolod Bobrov

"A talented person is talented in everything" - this statement as if confirms the biography of the talented Soviet hockey player and footballer Vsevolod Mikhailovich Bobrov, who later became a successful coach in both sports. Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko composed the poem "Bobrov's Breakthrough", immortalizing the athlete's achievements in the line "Chaliapin of Russian football, Gagarin washers from Russia ...".

The future honored master of sports and coach of the USSR was born on December 1, 1922 in a small town in the Tambov province of Morshansk. However, 3 years after the birth of the baby, his parents decided to move to Sestroretsk, a resort town in the Leningrad Region, and lived there until 1941.

It was here that the boy began to take his first steps towards a sports career - during the warm half of the year, all the guys in his yard ran with a soccer ball, and in the cold months they moved to the ice, where they played with clubs and small pucks.

The Bobrov family had two sons - Volodya and his brother Seva, both boys became interested in sports, inspired by street battles. However, games were games, but it was necessary to make money.

After 7 years of study in a regular general education school, Vsevolod moved to a factory educational institution, where he fully mastered the profession of a locksmith. Having received a diploma, the guy devoted his free time to work at the plant, but he also tried not to forget about his sports ambitions.

After a hard day's work, Bobrov loved to play football with the factory team. However, soon the unexpected happened - on June 22, 1941, all the inhabitants of the USSR shuddered at the message about the beginning of the war with Germany. This event also influenced the life of the future professional athlete - the plant where he worked was urgently evacuated to Omsk, and Vsevolod himself, by an amazing coincidence, was waiting for service in a military school.

While studying in Siberia, the young man did not forget about hockey and football. Vsevolod Bobrov's sports talent was noticed in his youth - he was invited to the "team of lieutenants" of the football club from Moscow CDKA in 1945.

Thus, the 23-year-old guy moved to the capital, where he immediately began to win the hearts of local sports figures, and most importantly, the current coach Boris Arkadiev. Despite his debut status, he instantly won the respect of his teammates - the most talented footballers of the USSR.

In the same year, Vsevolod began to play sports professionally - the war came to an end, and it was possible to devote himself to his favorite work without a twinge of conscience. Soviet fans began to fill the stands, greeted with admiration and respect for the football heroes. Bobrov quickly became a favorite of the CDKA fans - he was favorably distinguished from other "lieutenants" by boundless power and branded passages, which were felt even from the seats of the audience.

I could not fail to note the professional success of the young footballer and the coach of the Moscow club "Dynamo", staffed with great players, Mikhail Yakushin. Even though the very first championship, which took place after the war, was defended by the “Dynamo” team, the commander of the “white-blue” decided to strengthen the club's power ahead of the upcoming tournament in Britain by inviting Vsevolod to his team.

The performance of Muscovites in England created a sports sensation, and the main characters were recognized as Konstantin Beskov, Alexei Khomich and, of course, striker Vsevolod Bobrov, who scored 6 goals out of 19. He returned to the capital of his native country as a hero - he was honored by football fans, calling him "a genius of breakthrough ".

Together with a professional football game, the man was fond of ball hockey, which is a great way to keep fit in the offseason. The peak of Vsevolod's career as a successful striker fell at the end of the 40s. For 3 years, with the help of his sports talents, the CDKA celebrated the successful outcome of the championships, and the athlete himself on a regular basis drew thunderous applause from the stands of football fields throughout the country.

In the early 50s, it became clear that Bobrov's football career was slowly but surely approaching its logical conclusion. The reason for this was the constant injuries that he received from rivals right during the game.

At this time, the man moved from the CDKA to the Air Force of the Moscow Military District, whose coach was Vasily Stalin, and took part in the first Olympics in the history of the USSR. This event in the life of Vsevolod was enchanting - he not only acted as the captain of the Soviet national team, but also performed a feat while playing with the Yugoslavs. When the score was 1: 5 in favor of the opposing team, the Air Force striker scored a hat-trick, which led to a draw.

Bobrov spent his last football season with the Moscow club "Spartak", where he became the champion of the USSR. Then, due to his injuries, he could no longer often go out on the field, and therefore decided to put an end to his football career.

Vsevolod Bobrov did not grieve for a long time after the end of his football career - already in 1946 he moved to the ice field - exactly at the moment when hockey officially appeared in the USSR. As a result, in this sport, the man achieved even greater success than in the previous one.

Possessing a unique talent, he became one of the first to open hockey in the Soviet Union. Bobrov was recognized as the champion of the country 7 times and the silver medalist 3 times. Initially, he was in the CDKA (during his football career), and then fate brought Vsevolod to the Air Force.

A unique sweeping riding style, special bombardment techniques, skillful use of the club - the man did not miss, he felt like a fish in water on the ice. His key "trick", which was later called the "Bobrov-style goal", was bypassing the goal and sending the puck into it.

In early 1950, the Air Force team flew to Sverdlovsk, where they were going to take part in an away match. However, the event was not destined to come true - the plane crashed before it could land at the airport. All passengers were killed. A happy accident saved Bobrov from death - on the eve of the flight, he did not hear the alarm clock and did not have time for registration. The commander of the team, Vasily Stalin, quickly gathered new players headed by Vsevolod.

4 years after the plane crash, the USSR national ice hockey team took part in the world championship for the first time. Despite the ambiguous predictions of sports critics, the BBC won, and Bobrov was recognized as the best striker. He loved to be number 11, considering this number as his talisman for good luck.

In 1956, the athlete went down in history again - the national team of the Soviet Union became the Olympic champion on the first attempt thanks to the command of Vsevolod Mikhailovich. At the same time, he again returned to the "army" club (since the Air Force was disbanded), in which he last received the title of silver medalist of the 1957 championship.

In 2012, the dramatic film "Hockey Games" was filmed, which tells about the relationship and rivalry between two great Soviet coaches - Vsevolod Bobrov and Anatoly Tarasov. The action of the picture spanned the period from 1947 to 1972. In addition, the image of the athlete was exploited in such films as "Legend No. 17", "The Son of the Father of the People" and others.

The personal life of the stately athlete (his height was 178 cm, and his weight was 75 kg) turned out to be as rich as sports. He has been married 2 times. With his first wife, the soloist of the "Theater of Operetta" Tatiana Leonidovna Sanina, the man met in the hospital, where he put his health in order after another injury. Their union did not last long and did not bring a couple of children together.

The second wife's name was Elena Nikolaevna, she was a married woman with a 3-year-old child in her arms during her acquaintance with the star of Soviet sports. Having fallen in love with Vsevolod, Elena divorced, quit her studies and work in her native Kiev in order to enter into a relationship with him. On March 1, 1969, the newlyweds had a long-awaited son, who was named Mikhail.

The cause of death of the great Soviet coach was a detached blood clot. Vsevolod Bobrov was 56 years old when on July 1, 1979, death unexpectedly overtook him.

The funeral took place at the Moscow Kuntsevo cemetery. The country remembered its hero for a long time, erecting monuments in his honor, placing photos of a football player and a hockey player on stamps and coins.
