Oleg Mihajlov: "it has not turned out in Turkey, but left in Germany".
The recent hostage of Turkish terrorists - the general director
Open Society "Karelian okatysh" Oleg MIHAJLOV after returning to Kostomuksha
Has given interview to local mass media.
Certainly, journalists impressions should interest,
Received by the eyewitness of capture of one of the smartest hotels
Istanbul - "Swiss-Hotel". However press conference, having begun with
The story about the events which have become in the end of April by a subject number all one
World mass-media, has gradually passed to conversation on problems of the largest
Mountain-concentrating combine of Russia.
- Oleg Jurevich, we are glad, that the tests which have dropped out on your share,
Were safely resolved. And still it would be desirable to return once again
To recent events. What you has shaken most of all?
- At all I do not know what to allocate. We have first apprehended it as
A certain show. Thought, owners thus have decided to entertain
Clients. And only when have seen the weapon, have understood, that jokes
Here also does not smell. It became rather terrible, when us
Have forced to put in pawn hands for heads and to lay down on a floor. In books write,
That during such moments before the person there passes all life.
Perhaps at someone and happens, and I have thought of the wife, about the son, about
Volume that will be with them, happen that with me.
- You were not afraid to speak Russian, did not try to hide, that you
From Russia? After all hotel capture has been connected with events in the Chechen Republic.
- No, just we were not afraid of it. It seems to me, terrorists
Did not excite, who from what country has arrived. They for certain knew,
That among hostages there are Russian. In the registration book these data
Were available, and terrorists saw records. Certainly, we exchanged words
Among themselves also used for this purpose the native language.
- How, in your opinion, have led itself the Russian authorities? When you
Have understood, that in the homeland know about a situation to which you have got, and
Undertake everything to help you out of trouble?
- The first call from consulate of Russia was distributed about five
Mornings. Us have asked to depict conditions, have asked about
State of health also have told, that we did not worry, that are conducted
Negotiations, the staff on our rescue is created. Then some more
Calls, including from administration of the president.
It was very pleasant. But it is literally squall of calls has fallen
On us after our clearing. Called from Kostomuksha,
Petrozavodsk, Petersburg, Moscow, Cherepovets - from everywhere. Acquaintances
And strangers. Congratulated, rejoiced, offered the help.
Here when we have understood, that for us the country.
- You managed to solve problems, for the sake of which you, actually, and
Have arrived to Turkey? After all you should participate in 12th
The international symposium of manufacturers and consumers
zhelezorudnogo raw materials. It was planned, that sales manager Levan
Merabishvili will give on him the report.
- The symposium, naturally, has been broken. It should take place
In our hotel. Right after how terrorists were taken away by police,
To a registration rack the huge turn was built. People were
Are frightened and hurried to leave the country. Many have received the such
Recommendations from the embassies. Besides within semidays, with
12 nights about 12 days while we were hostages, nobody slept.
All have got tired, iznervnichalis. About productive work could not
To go and speeches.
To us it was insulting, that it was not possible to declare itself, to communicate with
Representatives of the largest companies of the world to carry on negotiations with
The present and potential consumers of ours okatyshej. However,
Organizers of a symposium have consoled us, having told, that the money paid
For participation in him, will be returned. Conference, as well as
It is necessary, it has been insured, so in this sense all in
Order.
- It is more to Turkey will not go?
- I will go, if it will be necessary for business. But to have a rest - never. I
I consider, that the country should be responsible for everything, that is created in it
Limits.
- Next day the delegation from Kostomuksha has departed in
Germany. At Germans, hope, has done without any states of emergency?
- They, in my opinion, have been frightened not less ours. Expressed to us
Sympathy, asked, were very attentive to us. In
Germany, fortunately, any deviations from the planned
Programs do not happen. We have carried on negotiations with heads
Firms "Eko-Shtal". It is our old and reliable partner. It is signed
The contract on delivery kostomukshskih okatyshej to Germany. Except
That, we have met the president on purchases of raw materials of the company
"Uzinor". About concrete results while to speak early. But ours
Offers have interested German businessmen. "Uzinor" now
This has come out on top in the world on steel manufacture, and that
The company is ready to co-operate with our combine, speaks about
Much.
- Differently, "Karelian okatysh" is intended to expand the
Presence at the Western Europe. About what volumes there is a speech?
Whether these figures are comparable to volumes of deliveries of ours zhelezorudnogo
Raw materials to Finland?
- Now while is not present. But if all goes how we plan,
In a year-one and a half, I think, we begin to ship to ours
To the West European partners not smaller quantity okatyshej, than
That today we deliver to Finns.
- Whether additional demands to quality were made
Production GOKa?
- In general, no. Germans know ours okatyshi. But from this
At all does not follow, that we should calm down and not work over
Production. In an ideal it would be desirable to reach such quality,
Which differs zhelezorudnoe raw materials of Swedish concern "LK&B".
It okatyshi are recognised the best in the world, so our purpose on
The next years - to catch up with Swedes. If we wish to be kept on
The western market, to us it is necessary very seriously and to work much, and in
The first turn - over quality of our production.
- What already becomes in this direction?
- At the enterprise it is developed and some programs are realised,
Called finally to deduce combine on world level.
In the nearest plans - reception of the international certificate. It
Will give the chance to achieve more good bargains, so,
To increase profit.
One more direction - studying of transport streams. We
Should know everything, that occurs to ours okatyshami on a way to
To the consumer: how much time overloads them, at what station and as
Long structures as road shake-ups influence on are late
Quality. And so on. An ultimate goal - maximum
Satisfaction of inquiries of our clients. In this sense, it is necessary
To tell, we work flexibly enough. I do not know, whether is in the world still
Combines which would let out seven kinds okatyshej as it
We do. As they say, for all tastes - there would be a desire
The consumer. Fruits of such policy we see that firms - as
Domestic, and western, - willingly conclude with us
Contracts, are ready to buy kostomukshskie okatyshi.
- However in the first quarter the plan on sale has been ruined. As
To co-ordinate realities with about what you have just told to us?
- Really, now we lag behind the plan. It is called by that,
That we in a root have changed a principle of job with consumers,
Have refused, in particular, intermediaries at sale okatyshej.
While have adjusted the new scheme, time has left. But I am assured: the course is taken
Correct, and to the middle of year we liquidate backlog on sale.
And in the long term - increase in volumes of manufacture. We are obliged
To let out, at least, 7 million tons okatyshej in a year. At those
6,6 million that have planned to make this year, hard not
Only to live, but even to breathe.
- And it is real - to increase volumes? In the first quarter it is admitted
Backlog on vyvozke vskryshnyh breeds. Without it, how much we
We know, manufacture escalating is impossible. Or now in a course
Other ideas.
- No, the same ideas. We are obliged to take out dead rock, or
vskryshi, as much, how much and ores. Otherwise to us not to restore
Open-cast mine. Yes, in the first quarter the plan on vskryshe is underfulfilled on 52
Thousand cubic metre. It thus, that as a whole vskryshi is taken out on
600 thousand cubic metre more than for the same period of last year.
Let's liquidate backlog. I am assured - to us it on forces.
- On May, 19th the annual meeting of shareholders will take place. With what
Mood you come nearer to this event? You after all first time
Will report to shareholders as the general director?
- Mood normal, working. Anyway, at me is not present
Neither a panic, nor trouble. Yes, there will be a serious conversation,
Concerning economic indicators, industrial
Combine activity past year and the beginning of the present.
Together with board of directors we will search for ways of the decision of problems.
- At combine began already tradition to change the general
Directors. For last one and a half year you - the third. Your forecast on
This bill? You remain on the place?
- I do not think of it. I think of job.
Belief VLASOVA, ours sob. A correspondent Kostomuksha.
