Dry roses.

Another property of S. Zakharov’s painting is its extraordinary musicality, genuine and rare symphony. Its theme song is present in almost every work of the artist: from the landscape of a besieged city to an oriental still life. The secret of this property of the artist’s painting is in the special gift of a holistic vision of the composition of each work, in the influence of the richest experience in monumental painting.

Sergei Efimovich Zakharov died on January 24, 1993 in St. Petersburg at the ninety-third year of his life. His works are in the State Russian Museum, in museums and private collections in Russia, Italy, France, Great Britain, Tajikistan, USA, Germany and other countries.

Sergei Efimovich Zakharov was born on September 10, 1909 in the Tavrichanka farmstead into a peasant family. His father died during the First World War, when Sergei was only 6 years old.

In 1929, when collective farms began to be organized, the Zakharov family was one of the first to join the “Joint Labor” collective farm. Sergey Efimovich took an active part in public life artel and quickly gained authority among collective farmers. In 1930 he was elected a member of the Cossack Village Council.

In 1932, members of the “Joint Labor” agricultural association unanimously elected Sergei Efimovich as chairman of the collective farm.

Soon the Zakharov family moves to the Krasny Oktyabr farm. However, at that time it was also called New Israel: this name was given to the farm by the pioneer sectarian settlers who returned after October revolution from Uruguay. And it was under Zakharov that the collective farms of the Progress, Tavrichanka and New Israel farms united into the Red October collective farm.

In 1939, collective farmers of the Red October agricultural artel elected Zakharov as chairman of the collective farm.

The war interrupted the measured working life. In 1941, together with other residents of the Veselovsky district, Sergei Efimovich went to the front. He went through all four years of the war, had injuries and awards: two Orders of the Red Star, Order of Glory 3rd degree, medals “For Courage” and “For Victory over Germany.”

Returning from the front, Sergei Efimovich plunges headlong into restoring the war-ravaged collective farm. They are rebuilding farms, raising livestock, and expanding the horse farm - and they have bred wonderful horses on it! An avid horse racing enthusiast himself, S.E. Zakharov certainly wanted the Red October horses to participate in the races. Farm boys were sent to study to become jockeys.

It was for the development of horse breeding that by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on July 23, 1948, Sergei Efimovich Zakharov was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor with the Order of Lenin and the Hammer and Sickle gold medal “for exceptional services to the state, expressed in breeding in 1947 at a stable. 38 foals from 38 mares." This became the highest assessment of the chairman’s work, a source of pride for the entire district.

In 1950, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR “On awarding orders and medals to workers Rostov region who distinguished themselves in the development of virgin and fallow lands, in harvesting and grain procurement" S.E. Zakharov was awarded the Order of Lenin.

Under the leadership of Sergei Efimovich Zakharov, the Red October collective farm became a diversified and profitable enterprise. He willingly shared his experience of increasing grain production and livestock productivity. His articles appeared not only in local press, but also in the central one. In 1957, the book “Rice on the Don” was published in Moscow.

S.E. Zakharov was more than once elected as a member of the bureau of the district committee of the CPSU, a deputy of the district and regional Council of Workers' Deputies, and was invited to the All-Union Exhibition of National Economic Achievements in Moscow.

The Zakharov family had three children. Daughter Lidiya Sergeevna became a doctor and long years worked at the Veselovsky district hospital; son Anatoly Sergeevich lived all his life in Red October, worked as a driver; younger son, Alexey Sergeevich, lived in Armavir, served in the army.

In 1969, Sergei Efimovich turned 60 years old and retired.

People remember S.E. in different ways. Zakharova. This is not surprising. Any person, and especially a leader, calls mixed assessment. But, speaking about Zakharov, everyone invariably emphasizes: “He was a real master.” And this means that I was never indifferent: neither to work, nor to people. He knew too well the value of peasant labor.

They say about some people that they cannot imagine themselves outside the team or work. Probably Sergei Efimovich Zakharov was from this category. He lived only four years after his retirement: he died on June 8, 1973. But the mark left by this man on our land will remain forever.
