Yuriy Vlasov

Yuri Vlasov set thirty-one world records and forty-one USSR records in the weightlifting career. The weightlifter was loved and admired. Arnold Schwarzenegger was equal to Vlasov. In addition to excellent physical data, Yuri Vlasov has a tenacious mind and talent as a writer. He published books, was involved in politics. In 1996, the name of Vlasov could be seen among the candidates for the post of head of the Russian Federation.

The future star of Soviet sports was born in winter, December 5, 1935, in the city of Makeevka. Little Yura's family was considered cultural.

Father Petr Parfenovich was engaged in journalism and diplomacy, was fond of the culture of China. In addition, he was a scout and colonel of the GRU. Mom Maria Danilovna was in charge of the library building.

In 1953, the young man left the walls of the Suvorov School of Saratov. In 1959 he studied at the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy in the capital of the USSR.

While in school, I read the work of Georg Gakkenschmidt "The Path to Strength and Health." The book impressed Yuri so much that he immediately determined his further biography.

Arnold Schwarzenegger followed the life of the Russian athlete. Yuri Vlasov turned into a sports idol for little Arnie. A foreign athlete at a young age decided on a vocation and began a career as a weightlifter from an early age.

Once at a tournament, in the interval between exercises, Arnold was brought to Yuri. Then the young man was fifteen years old. Vlasov himself said that he did not really remember what he advised the young fan. Schwarzenegger adopted one technique from Yuri - moral pressure before the approach. The point was to let the opponent know who is the best here before the tournament.

Yuri Vlasov trained for wear - every day from 10 am to 4 pm. In 1957, Yuri broke the USSR record for the first time in the snatch (144.5 kg) and clean and jerk (183.0 kg). Two years later, he won the winning medal at the World Championship.

In 1960, the Olympic Games started in Rome. That international tournament became enchanting for Vlasov. The competition was nicknamed “Vlasov Olympics”. He appeared on the platform when the opponents completed their approaches. The very first push with a weight of 185 kg gave Yuri the winning step of the podium. He performed the second with a weight of 195 kg. And the third approach with a weight of 202.5 kg made the athlete from Russia the world record holder.

This record was higher than the previous success of Paul Anderson. The audience broke through to Yuri and took the hero in their arms. As a result, Vlasov was protected by the police and even blocked the road for him. Then Paul Anderson competed with the weightlifter for two years. Twice - in 1961 and 1962 - he interrupted the highest success of Yuri Vlasov.

In 1964, the athlete went to the Tokyo Olympics. He was a contender for victory. The glasses, with which Vlasov never parted during the exercise, became the chip of the Russian record holder. In all photos and posters, Yuri remained in his unchanged style.

Yuri Vlasov's triumph in Tokyo was snatched away by another Russian athlete, Leonid Zhabotinsky. Shortly before the tournament, he even beat Yuri's records, but he was able to return them. However, at international games, Vlasov lost to Jabotinsky with a difference of 2.5 kg. Vlasov remembered:

After the loss, Vlasov finished training and left the sport. But in 1966, the man had problems with money, and he returned to the arena of athletic wrestling. On April 15, 1967, Yuri Vlasov set a record for which he received 850 rubles.

Since 1959, Yuri Vlasov published small works in prose form. In 1961 he won a prize in a literary competition. In 1962 he went to the World Championship as an athlete and a representative of the Izvestia newspaper. In 1964 he released his debut work "Overcome Yourself".

In 1968 he took up literature professionally. From the pen of Vlasov came the small prose "White Moment" in 1972 and the novel "Salty Joy" in 1976. In 1973, Yuri presented "Special Region of China. 1942-1945 "under the name of his father - Vladimirov. This was the result of work in the archives, conversations with eyewitnesses.

In 1984, the book "Justice of Power" was published. In 1993, Yuri published a work in three volumes "The Fiery Cross". This is a novel about the revolutionary period in Russia. In the nineties, Vlasov published a lot of journalism, which later became a separate work.

In 2006 he published the book "Red Jacks". This is a story about young men who were brought up and raised during the Patriotic War.

The personal life of Yuri Vlasov was both joyful and sad. During classes at the CSKA gym, the athlete met a girl named Natalya. Soon the young people got married. The happy marriage ended when the woman passed away. Yuri was very upset about the loss of his wife. However, Vlasov was not alone. In marriage, the spouses had a daughter.

After a while, the former athlete decided on a second marriage. The name of Yuri's new wife is unknown. They live in a dacha near Moscow. No kids.

In addition to sports and writing, Yuri Vlasov joined the political arena. In 1989, the man was elected People's Deputy of the USSR. In 1996, he was promoted to the post of President of Russia. After counting, he won 0.20% of the votes. After that, he tied up with the activities of the government.
