Makarenko is a deputy of the Tyumen Regional Duma. Evgeniy Makarenko: “There are no victories without defeats. With Belarusian Viktor Zuev

In 2002, at the European Championships in Perm, the Russian team did something unprecedented. She managed to win 9 gold medals out of 12; Evgeniy Makarenko was among the champions. In addition to the gold medal, Evgeniy took home the Nikolai Nikiforov-Denisov Cup to his native Khanty-Mansiysk District, as the most technical boxer of the European Championship. The first winner of this Cup, established in 1974 in honor of the outstanding achievements of the President of the Continental European Bureau of AIBA N.A. Nikiforov-Denisov, was also an athlete from our country, Viktor Rybakov.

2003 brought new success. At the World Championships in Thailand, Russian boxers received 3 gold and three silver medals. And again, like a year ago, Evgeniy received an award of the highest standard. Now we can only hope that next year Olympic Games Evgeniy will not depart from the established tradition.

Evgeny Makarenko: I don’t have a Cuban complex

Fate has prepared real tests for the surprisingly charming and handsome captain of the Russian national team, Evgeniy Makarenko, in Belfast. At first, a blind and indifferent draw gave him the right to open the current championship for our team (on the very first day of the competition, Zhenya had to fight the Cuban Hernandez Martinez), and then in the final battle to decide the fate of the second team place. The 26-year-old student of the honored coach of Russia Vasily Wolf passed both exams with “A” plus.

- Zhenya, until now there has been no serious reason for an interview with you in the central press, so let’s look back from the heights of the peak won in Belfast. How did you get sideways? With?

It all started with two pairs of gloves that my father gave my brother and me in 1985. At that time there was a terrible shortage, so when handing them over, my father made it clear to us that he bought them not for fun, but for the sake of serious studies in the section. I was 10 years old at that time, Dima was 11, and we, naturally, first tried out the purchase in home sparring sessions. I don’t know, maybe because I was constantly beating him, but I never got to Dima’s section. And although I had previously been involved in swimming, wrestling and basketball, at the first meeting with Vasily Vasilyevich Wolf I realized that boxing was my sport.

- Probably now Dima will regret that he didn’t go to the section with you then?

Alas, he is no longer alive - he died less than a year ago from heart attack. But I also have a younger brother, Andrei, who competed at the Russian Junior Championships this year. I hope my victory will give him additional strength.

- When you came to the section led by Wolf, was your current team partner Sasha Maletin already there?

Yes, but we didn’t meet and become friends right away. This required a trip to a sports camp in Ukraine, which took place in the same year of 1985.

June 30, 2001

If I go pro, it will only be after the Olympics.

I met with the captain of our team, Evgeniy Makarenko, who competes in the up to 91 kg weight category, on the eve of his semi-final fight. In life, by the way, Makarenko makes a very pleasant impression and arouses great sympathy among everyone. I noticed this back in Podolsk at the Golden Ring tournament. A friendly look, one of those that is called open, a readiness to smile at any moment. I would say that this in no way fits with the appearance of a boxer if I had not seen many fighters who do not correspond to traditional ideas.
- What are your impressions of the tournament? - Makarenko’s question.

It is well organized and the fans give a warm welcome. So first of all I want to thank everyone. The championship itself, as is known, began with the fact that Gaidarbekov was unlucky.

- I noticed that they talk about him here almost more than about the winners.

- Certainly. I just feel bad for him. Gaydarbek is a very gifted boxer. But I wasn’t in the mood for a fight. This happens to many people.

-Is it hard to be the captain of the national team after Lebzyak?

Not easy. Many people probably compare me with him, but I somehow don’t think about it. I understand that now I have much more responsibility.

- Besides, you should remember about your rivals. By the way, who are you fighting next?

- With Belarusian Viktor Zuev....

Evgeniy Makarenko will not compete at the World Boxing Cup

Two-time world boxing champion, captain of the Russian national team Evgeny Makarenko, who missed the European Championship due to injury, will also not go to the World Cup, which will be held from October 14 to 22 in Baku, but will compete at another World Cup - among oil countries. Makarenko himself told the All Sport agency about this. “Now I’m in Sochi, I went out for 10 days to relax with my wife and children,” said Makarenko. - There were plans to go to a recovery camp in Turkey with the national team, but the timing didn’t work out. In addition, I need to communicate with my children at least occasionally; I have three of them. As soon as I get back, I'll start preparing. I definitely won’t go to the World Cup in Azerbaijan in October; after all, I don’t have much time left for preparation. But I will definitely perform at the traditional World Cup among oil countries in front of my fellow countrymen in Nizhnevartovsk in December.”

Beibut Shumenov: I constantly follow the world and European champion Evgeniy Makarenko

One of the best boxers of the Kazakhstan national team, the 2004 Asian champion from Shymkent, Beibut Shumenov, is very sensitive to his first Olympics in his career. Still would. Not everyone can get to the Olympics as a 20-year-old.

There’s not much left before the Olympics, everyone is hiding like mice in the corners,” Beibut Shumenov tells the “OUR SPORT” correspondent. - Everyone wants to study each other. For example, I very often watch and analyze the fights of the Russian Evgeniy Makarenko. I'm looking forward to a confrontation with him!

The selection for the Olympic Games in Athens has not yet been completed for boxers. The European qualifying tournament took place last weekend in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. In Asia, the last batch of licenses will be awarded in May in Pakistan. But now the circle of rivals is getting narrower and narrower. It’s as if both coaches and boxers are studying victims according to a list.

One of Shumenov’s most formidable and famous enemies at the Athens Olympics will be Russian Evgeniy Makarenko. This is the highlight of the Russian team, its captain, its pride and hope.

- Makarenko is a two-time European champion and world champion in 2003. Unfortunately, I haven’t met him in the ring yet, but this will happen soon,” Beibut Shumenov assures. - I know that he is very demanding of himself. And his coach is one of the best in Russia.

- Could your meeting with him happen before the Olympics?

- I think that in St. Petersburg at the annual tournament with the participation of 34 countries, it should go to Athens. Or at some other major competition. All the strongest will be there. This is one of those rare opportunities to come across before the Olympics.

“The head is not needed to be hit”

At the European Boxing Championships, which recently ended in Croatia, the captain of the Russian national team, Evgeny Makarenko, cut all five of his opponents, as they say, to pieces. In the ring he is a real hurricane, but outside of it he is a soft and sociable person. He will never refuse an interview, will answer questions in detail and will definitely treat you to something at the end. After the return of the Russian national team, Novye Izvestia did not miss the opportunity to talk with him.

– Did you yourself believe that the team would be able to win nine gold medals at the second European Championship in a row?

– To be honest, we were hoping for a similar result. The closer the finals got, the more we believed that we could win almost all the European gold. True, sometimes doubts crept in that the judges would not allow boxers from one country to so often rise to the first step of the podium. But we were head and shoulders above our rivals. Everyone saw this, and the judges, even if they wanted to, could not do anything here.

– Which of your teammates would you especially highlight?

- Well done everyone. But I’m especially happy for Gena Kovalev. He is one of the youngest in our team, but he has already competed in big tournaments, was a silver medalist at the World and European Championships, but he just couldn’t become first. In Croatia he fought superbly, in the final he defeated a very strong Frenchman Ali Allaba. I would also like to thank our head coach Nikolai Khromov and the entire coaching staff. Thanks to them, we approached the championship in excellent shape....

Makarenko Evgeniy Mikhailovich

Deputy of the Tyumen Regional Duma

Russian athlete

Evgeny Makarenko was born on October 10, 1975 in the city of Nizhnevartovsk, Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous region. As a child I tried myself in different types sports, including biathlon, basketball, swimming, wrestling, but ultimately made a choice in favor of boxing. He was seriously involved in boxing from the age of ten, trained in a local section under the guidance of Vasily Vasilyevich Wolf, who became a coach, a psychologist, a teacher, and a friend for him.

Evgeniy Mikhailovich first announced himself back in 1991, becoming a finalist in the USSR Championship among senior youths in Volgograd. In 1993, he joined the Russian national team and won the European Youth Championship in Greece. The following year, he won the Russian adult championship for the first time, defeating the titled Igor Kshinin in the final.

The athlete achieved his first serious success at the adult international level in the 1998 season, when he attended the European Championships in Minsk and brought home a bronze medal, won in the first heavy weight category - his only defeat was at the semi-final stage from the Italian Giacobbe Fragomeni, who eventually became the winner of these competitions.

In 2001, Makarenko was the best at the World Championships in Belfast, then the next season he took gold at the home European championship in Perm.

Alexander Maletin, Vasily Volf, Evgeniy Makarenko

As a child, I tried a lot of sports - I did wrestling, swimming, karate, and competed for my school in cross-country skiing, basketball, and track and field competitions. I also had a chance to participate in street “fist fights” - not without this (laughs). So my entry into boxing cannot be called accidental. And it took place in 1986, when I was in fourth grade.

It was during that period that coach Vasily Vasilyevich Wolf visited schools and invited children to the boxing section. Signed up. I liked the first training session, and so did the coach. A little earlier, my peer, future Olympic medalist Sasha Maletin, started training in it. We studied at different schools, but the section brought us together and made friends. Since then we have been moving through life together. They won not only in the ring - they once won elections with him to the City Duma, where they served for the required term. So I gained my first parliamentary experience in my native Nizhnevartovsk. I believe that here I have more opportunities to help develop both my district and our region. And the country as a whole.

What do you remember most from your “boxing” childhood? Our first sports camp - we spent the whole summer in Ukraine. The coach constantly instilled in us: in order to achieve success in sports, we must train hard and not miss training. But then, after several months of sectional classes, I did not think about any championship. And then one day, with two friends, we decided to go fishing instead of training. During the evening formation, Wolf commands: “Those who haven’t been to training, take three steps forward.” We go out. He: “So, after dinner you will have sparring sessions with the guys from senior group" I got a tough guy, but I survived one round. Vasily Vasilyevich appreciated this - he has character, they say. And he transferred me to train in the senior group.

Constantly meeting with children and youth, I often hear: were you nervous when you entered the ring, and you lost? Of course I was worried. And I had to lose. But without defeats there are no victories. Only, God forbid, when they arrive, you succumb to euphoria - retribution will follow immediately. We were lucky in this regard - the coach set big goals for us, but it was not customary for us to “revel in victories.”

With a sports specialization, I apparently got into the top ten - training was a pleasure for me, and fate did not deprive me of victories. At the age of sixteen he became a finalist in the last youth championship of the USSR, at eighteen - the winner of the junior championship of Russia and Europe, at nineteen - he won gold at the adult national championship, and received the right to represent Russia at the Goodwill Games in St. Petersburg. However, he did not live up to expectations - he lost the first fight to the Cuban. The next year, 1995, he again became the “first glove” of the country, but at the World Championships in Berlin he again lost his first fight. And again my offenders turned out to be a boxer from Liberty Island.

By that time, I was overwhelmed by everyday problems. I quit boxing and went to Moscow, where I lived for a whole year. But, apparently, sport is an incurable disease. Nostalgia overwhelmed me when I saw off the guys to the 1996 Olympics in Podolsk (where the national team was preparing for the Games). Then we sat late with Oleg Saitov, with whom I have a strong friendship. I watched the final fight, which was the hardest for him, on TV. When the referee raised Oleg’s hand up, he was no less happy than he was. And then I suddenly thought: “But in this Olympic ring, I could also box.”

Having met Oleg at the capital's airport, I asked to see the gold medal he had won. I held it in my hands, and... I was drawn to the ring again. I started moving - running, jumping, playing football... And two months later, as if guessing my mood, Vasily Vasilyevich called (I was constantly in touch with him) - “do you want to go to a match meeting with Germany?” He accepted the offer without hesitation. True, I had to box not with a German, but with my own. But I got a good shake-up, and I realized that Moscow is not for me, I need to return home and mind my own business.

During a year of life in the capital without boxing, a new leader appeared in my weight category - up to 81 kg: captain of the Russian national team Alexander Lebzyak. After his victorious performance at the 2000 Olympics, where I happened to be his sparring partner, he left big sport. And I became the leader of the team, the guys elected me as their captain. On July 13, 2001, in Belfast, Ireland, he won gold at the World Championship, defeating... a Cuban in the first fight. I remember the exact date because the day before was the birthday of both my mother and my sister. By the way, memorable coincidences have happened before. Thus, I won the victory at the World Cup among oil countries held in Nizhnevartovsk on the day of my father’s 50th birthday. And my son Evgeniy was born in 1998 after winning the Dynamo Central Championship, which also took place in our city. My wife watched the competition and went to the maternity hospital.

Of course, I wanted my son to take up boxing. His wife even bought him boxing gloves as soon as he started walking. But Zhenya fell in love with hockey when he was still in kindergarten. I bought him a hockey uniform in Moscow, put it under the Christmas tree - go, I say, look at what Santa Claus brought you. He came up, took out a gift, and theatrically fell to his knees - “Oh, God! I’ve dreamed about this all my life!” Now their team has broken up, so they are not working yet. But I think we’ll move to Tyumen and start doing it again.

In 2003, at the World Championships in Thailand, I managed to win my second gold medal, and I went to the 2004 Games as number one. By that time, the press had already elevated me to Olympic champion, hung a medal around my neck... Although the immunity instilled by Wolf saved me from euphoria, such lull could not affect my psyche. I understood in my mind that I couldn’t relax, but... In the end, having won the first fight against the strongest Cuban, I lost in the second to a little-known American.

Do I have a desire to get into coaching? From the experience of my mentor, I know that this is hellish and responsible work to which you must devote all your time. I'm not ready for this yet. Although, in principle, I like raising children. We need to talk to them more. Vasily Vasilyevich constantly talked to us, he not only trained us, but also taught us about life. Including personal example. Whenever possible, I enjoy communicating with children. Not long ago, for example, at the request of the Priboi coaches, I conducted a demonstration training session with the students of this sports school, after which I answered all their questions.

I try to maintain my fitness. Now we have a sports competition between the executive and legislative branches. I was unable to compete in cross-country skiing - I was on a business trip. But I took part in a mini-football tournament. I am also determined to compete in volleyball and shooting competitions.
