Since May 18, 2005 our

school has been named

after the Hero of the

Soviet Union Zhukov

Ivan Efimovich.

Teachers and pupils of

our school are proud of

this fact.

Zhukov I. E. was born

on December 31st, 1934 in

Vladimir. His family was rather

poor. There were 4 children in

the family. His eldest brother

Mikhail died in 1943 during

the Great Patriotic War.

Ivan Zhukov studied at school

№ 2, he finished it in 1953.

When Ivan was a school-boy

he was keen on the sky and he

began to study at the Vladimir

air club. Those years a lot of

young men dreamed of

becoming pilots and they

attended air clubs. In the club

Ivan studied parachute

jumping and piloting.

In 1953 Zhukov I.E.

piloted his first

airplane,

it was Уак - 18.

After finishing school Zhukov

entered the pilots’ military school

in Orenburg, then in Syzran. At the

age of 22 he became a professional

military pilot. He served in the Air

Forces of our country and went on

his education in the Air Forces

Academy named after У. А.Gagarin

(in Monino, not far from Moscow)

Zhukov finished Academy

in 1967.

In 1977 Zhukov I.E.

was honoured with

the Order of the Red Star

for testing an

airplane MiG- 23.

In 1982 Zhukov I. E. with other

pilots tested a new supersonic

airplane MiG-25. Something was

wrong with this kind of airplanes.

Three of them had already crushed.

At the height of 17,000 metres pilots

heard a strange sound. They realized

that the situation was crucial.

Zhukov decided to land the airplane

by all means.

It is unbelievable but Zhukov

managed to land the airplane.

The reason of the defect was an

oversight of engineers who had

constructed the plane. For this great

deed Zhukov was honoured with the

medal “The Golden Star” of

the Hero of the Soviet Union and

the Order of Lenin.

In 1988 Zhukov I.E. finished

his military career. At present

Ivan Efimovich has more spare

time for his family (he has got a

wife, a son and a daughter and

three grandchildren). He is

fond of sport and his favourite

hobby is taking pictures of

nature.

Zhukov I.E. is really a great example to

follow for us. We are happy that pupils

and teachers of our school have an

opportunity to communicate with Ivan

Efimovich during his visits. We like to

congratulate him on his birthdays.

There is a tradition in our school to

arrange reading conferences on his

book “I’m from Vladimir”. And also

one of the prides of our school is the

museum of Zhukov I.E.
