Gryaznova Alla Georgievna: biography
Alla Georgievna was born in Moscow (1937) in a family of ordinary workers. At that time, mom worked as an accountant, and father worked as a driver. The birth of a daughter was a happy event in the family. Despite the fact that the family lived quite modestly, and even in a small communal apartment, parents managed to create comfort in it and ensure a happy childhood for their children. After the eldest Allochka, three more children appeared in the family (one girl and two boys).
Childhood
Alla Georgievna’s childhood passed in difficult war years. Father went to the front, and mother, left with young children and a sick mother, not only was able to educate children, instill in them a love of life and people, but also showed by her own example that she always had to act according to conscience and help. She, together with her daughter, prepared and sent parcels to the front with her own hand-knitted socks and mittens. Moreover, such letters were always accompanied by small letters, only a few lines, with kind words of support and thanks to the soldiers who are now fighting on the battlefield for their lives. The five-year-old Alla always helped her mother and herself carefully printed letters.
School years and study
School years were the most colorful and beautiful. With all trepidation and gratitude, Gryaznova Alla Georgievna recalls her first teacher, joining the ranks of pioneers and October. Already from school, she was a leader and a very active person, was engaged in amateur performances, art studios and ballet schools.
Unfortunately, this period of the life of young Alla Georgievna was overshadowed by her mother’s severe illness. The girl helped around the house and with the upbringing of her younger brothers and sisters, she was forced to leave school after finishing the seventh grade and go to study at a technical school. The family felt that Alla should master the profession as early as possible and be able to help put the youngest children on their feet.
The technical school was chosen not on the basis of specialty, but the one that was closest to my father's work (literally opposite her). It was a financial college. I had to study in the evenings, since there was no technical school building at that time, and classes were held in the premises of the existing school, therefore, after the end of the main educational process. But for the family of Alla Georgievna, it was even at hand. The girl could help around the house and was always with her seriously ill mother (while her father was working), and when he arrived, the girl traveled to the metro on her own to study.
Student years
The next period of her life, Gryaznova, Alla Georgievna calls unforgettable and very successful: the student years, excellent teachers, an interesting science, an active life position, social activities and much more. After graduating (with honors) and acquiring the prestigious specialty of an economist, new opportunities opened up before her. Alla successfully passed the exams and entered graduate school, and the scientific life began. The changes concerned not only the professional sphere, but also the personal one. During this period, Alla Gryaznova gets acquainted and falls in love with her future husband. She prematurely completed graduate school, a month later her wedding took place, and a year later (in September 1965) a son was born in a young family.
Moving to a new apartment, household chores, intense scientific activity, working days — all this took a lot of time, therefore, as Alla Georgievna Gryaznova says, her son spent most of his childhood with her parents. Even when the boy was seven years old and needed to go to school, his grandparents were ready to completely replace his parents so that only their daughter could take advantage of the offer of a scientific internship in the United States of America. But fate intervened.
Work and research
The Moscow Financial Institute became for Alla Georgievna not only a native alma mater, but also a second home. Here she met many wonderful people, great scientists and modest workers.
The most influencing the fate of the future scientist and leader A.G. Gryaznova became an amazing woman, an excellent teacher and a wise leader M.S. Atlas. Mariam Semenovna became not only the most beloved teacher, but also a teacher in life. In addition, she was the supervisor of studies when writing a Ph.D. dissertation by Alla Georgievna and a scientific consultant in preparing a doctoral thesis, which she completed and successfully defended in 1975. Moreover, head the department, which was headed by M.S. Atlas is almost 30 years old, she trusted it to her. Thus, the successor of the scientific views and teaching methods of Professor Atlas herself was Gryaznova Alla Georgievna. The family always supported her and helped not only by word, but also by deed, and, as A.G. herself says. Gryaznova, this is what made it possible to achieve everything that she now has.
Rector's position
Climbing the career ladder was quite fast and fast. Soon, Alla Georgievna was appointed to the leading post of Vice-Rector for Research and International Relations. And when the current rector (Shcherbakov Vladimir Vasilievich) struggled with a long illness, she had to perform his duties for almost two years. Tired of social activities, the burden of responsibility and all administrative work, Alla Georgievna was nevertheless able to find the strength to not only courageously survive the death of her leader, but also become a worthy follower. Thus, on June 26, 1985, Alla Gryaznova became the rector. The financial academy during its leadership has become an advanced educational institution, a large-scale innovation center, graduating qualified personnel and talented scientists not only for Russia but also for other countries.
A family
The position of the rector, scientific and teaching activities require time, effort and desire. All this gives her a reliable rear in the form of a family. As Alla Georgievna Gryaznova herself says, her personal life was happy, because when she wakes up in the morning, she wants to go to work, and in the evening with no less desire to return home!
Today, there is sorely lack of free time, but she always finds a moment to spend time with her charming granddaughters, and she has two of them - Masha and Nadenka. Next to them, the grandmother does not notice fatigue and feels much younger. Together they can play tennis and read books. Kids themselves can already teach a lot of their beloved granny. For example, they even have a special notebook, where together with Alla Georgievna they write down youth words (slang), which grandmother then teaches.
“I am grateful to fate for my personal life,” says Alla Gryaznova herself. “Children, grandchildren, husband, work - this is my life. Thanks to them, I feel happy! ”She shares.
