Stalin sent an officer to him at night and promised the Golden Mountains! What did the leader of the leader want from the genius of the USSR Chernyshev?

The move did not work. “Arkady Ivanovich was fully consistent with the status of the senior coach of the national team. It combined a deep knowledge of the subject and respect for people. He did not insult violators of discipline, but did not justify; He didn’t like to punish, well, if the player was completely buried … but usually found the way to forgive the guilty. There were no excesses or conflicts in the Chernyshev team. He seemed to amortize all the inevitably arising stresses. Arkady Ivanovich in his decisions was consistent and understandable to us, took the steps absolutely justified. Never panic, never “went” to the players. He knew how to lead the game! Even in the most difficult situations did not lose his self -control. We, the players of the national team, felt this hand of Chernyshev all the time; His behavior gave us the strength and confidence that the mountains would turn away … Arkady Ivanovich held his views on hockey, since he began to work in 1946. Perhaps it was partly conservative. He believed in clear lines on the hockey platform, ” – these words belong to the legend of Spartak Boris Mayorov. Proverbly, Arkady Chernyshev, without any reservations, can be called one of the greatest coaches in the history of Soviet hockey. He raised a dozen champions of the Olympiad, winners of the world championships and prize -winners of the Soviet Union championship. Among the pupils of the many -year mentor of the Moscow Dynamo and the USSR national team there are stars such as Alexander Maltsev, Valery Vasiliev and Vitaly Davydov. And the legendary Viktor Tikhonov and Vladimir Yurzinov were guided by the whole coaching career on Chernyshev, who served for them a kind of prototype of the ideal coach.VideoArkady Ivanovich enjoyed the location from hockey players due to the fact that he treated them with respect. In Soviet sports, this approach to the wards was not always encountered. Chernyshev only in exceptional cases raised his voice, and lost his own and completely several times in his entire career. Of course, this bribed all others. Since his calm, composure and self -confidence were often transmitted to hockey players. Considering all of the above, it is not surprising that many clubs in the USSR dreamed of getting Chernyshev. One of those who was able to move from words to action was the youngest son of Joseph Stalin – Vasily. He was the curator of the Hockey team of the Air Force, which in the 1950s rattled throughout the Soviet Union. The Pilots became champions three times in a row – from 1950 to 1953. But even before this success, Vasily Stalin tried to lure Arkady Ivanovich into his team. Says the son of a great specialist-Boris Chernyshev: “My mother told me later … In the early 50s it happened. Somehow late in the evening, closer to midnight, some officer came to our apartment and began to actively persuade his father to go to the team of Vasily Stalin-Air Force. She then smashed everyone in a row in hockey. What unknown and uneven blessings that colonel did not promise, referring to Vasily Iosifovich! .. The father listened carefully and replied that he would think. They did not consult with their mother for long: no, of course, what an Air Force there, why is this if all their lives in Dynamo? Father did not accept this proposal. Stalin actively lured the best hockey shots. He fulfilled his promises. Few could resist such promises. ”VideoOver time, it can be assumed that the refusal of Chernyshev from the transition to the Air Force was the right decision. Soon, this club was disbanded and united from the Central House of Artists (now CSKA), and Anatoly Tarasov, the future assistant to Arkady Ivanovich in the national team, stood up at the helm of the newly formed team. In the meantime, our hero remained faithful to the native Moscow Dynamo, thanks to which he set the eternal record of Soviet hockey-Chernyshev headed the blue and white for 28 years, from 1946 to 1974. During this time, he took 24 medals of the Soviet championship – 2 gold, 9 silver and 13 bronze. In parallel, he worked in the national team. In total, the great coach worked in the USSR national team for 14 seasons and brought the country 4 gold of the Olympiad, 11 higher awards of the World Cup, as well as 2 silver and 1 bronze of the World Cup. “It is easy with it. He is one of those who professionally know the hockey and the soul of an athlete. He, like no one else, knows how to convince people, lead them, rally the team. Chernyshev is a real teacher, an example for all of us, ”said Vsevolod Bobrov.
