So, by its name, the Association symbolizes the state of firmness and inviolability, fidelity and commitment, honesty and decency of people working in it. However, its creation is a forced step. Fifteen years ago, a group of officers and generals of the Ground Forces, retired, thought about how to help the reformed Russian army, its officers and generals, who suddenly found themselves out of work. As a result, "MEGAPIR" emerged - the National Association of Associations of Reserve Officers of the Armed Forces.
There are three main areas of activity. First, increasing the authority of the Armed Forces and the prestige military service. Secondly, support for veterans of the war and military service, families of fallen servicemen.

The name "Megapyr" in Greek means a resistant alloy of high standard, was registered by officers dismissed from the army. Of the "starting capital" for all there were only used Zhiguli. But there were still hands and army hardening.
Today, the National Association of Reserve Officers "Megapir" is a diversified corporation that includes economic, social and analytical blocks, enterprises, retail chains, funds and other structures, with an annual turnover of billions of rubles. Its representative offices operate in the subjects of the Federation and military districts, the association unites hundreds of thousands of reserve officers. This unusual officer organization is permanently led by reserve colonel Alexander Kanshin. Our correspondent met with him.
Chairman of the Council of the Association "Megapir" Alexander Kanshin: " former officers- does not happen. "Photo: RIA News
Alexander Nikolaevich, 25 years ago, interrupting a brilliant military career, you ended up on the street. No stake, no yard and no garden... And now you are a major leader, a well-known person, deputy chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of Defense, head of the Commission on Military Affairs of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation of the past three convocations, Doctor of Philosophy. We can say that life is still good. What helped your company, which started literally from scratch, not only survive, but also straighten its shoulders?
Alexander Kanshin: In those years, many companies started next to us. Now you look - some are no longer there, those are far away, and others shamefully changed their names, which means there was something to be ashamed of. We survived because from the very beginning we set the goal not to make money, but to help those who feel bad, who are left without work and a roof over their heads, the children of dead soldiers and officers, and the army itself in its difficult days. They spent almost everything they earned on it. And somehow life itself led us along. Probably not in vain they say that the more you give, the more you get back.
For a doctor of philosophical sciences, the judgment is somewhat fantastic. The goal of any commercial enterprise is precisely income, profit, and from big profits you can also donate a bit to charity ...
Alexander Kanshin: This is our main difference - we do not do charity work. The purpose, meaning, or whatever you want to call it, but the essence of all our work is in the righteousness of life. We earn not in order to make new money, but habitually use income for social, educational, educational and other programs and projects. Sometimes I even think: perhaps this is the best way to build a welfare state?
In the "dashing" nineties, when the tanks stood without diesel fuel, and the officers unloaded the cars at night to feed the children, "Megapir" helped the army in every possible way. Patronage of regiments, even all-army competitions of batteries with the award of a car to the winner, cash benefits for the children of servicemen who died in battles with terrorists in Chechnya, are by no means all the benefits of the company. Which of the social programs are still working today?
Alexander Kanshin: Payments to the children of fallen soldiers and officers continue until they come of age, and when they enter a university, they continue until graduation. It is no longer necessary to pay for shooting and driving; today the army is provided with everything necessary. But patronage over the shelves, the orphanage, the military hospital lives on, creative teams, an art school, and sports sections have been added to this list. This summer, we held the All-Russian "Alpiniada-2017" with the ascent to the peaks of the Caucasus, we establish prizes in competitions in honor of outstanding commanders. The "Public Recognition" forum headed by Academician Velikhov, the "Officers' Brotherhood" fund, and a program to support especially gifted young talents are still operating. In a word, all our social programs have been preserved and are being developed.
You have worked fruitfully in the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, where you entered on the list of the president and headed the Commission on Military Personnel Affairs for three terms. In many events, the participation of Megapire was obvious. Was such cooperation justified?
Alexander Kanshin: Those years coincided with difficult reforms in the army. People say: they cut down the forest - the chips fly. But the fate of people cannot be ground into chips, and this also happened. The Commission of the Public Chamber, like the National Association of Reserve Officers, could not remain indifferent. A strong analytical apparatus has been created at Megapire, many famous people, doctors and candidates of sciences. Such as world-class scientists Yevgeny Velikhov, major military leaders, former Minister of Defense, Marshal of the Soviet Union Dmitry Yazov, President of the Academy of Military Sciences, General of the Army Makhmut Gareev, Admiral of the Fleet Alexei Sorokin, former Chief of the General Staff of the Ground Forces, Colonel General Yuri Bukreev, Doctor of Philosophy General Stepan Tyushkevich, other experienced generals and officers.
On the basis of the prepared recommendations, we carried out a number of major events with the help and funds of Megapira. They worked in the troops of the Eastern and Southern military districts, in the Northern and Pacific fleets, in military academies and at enterprises of the defense complex. The work ended with a joint discussion of problems with the military command and the leadership of regional and local administrations, and the final reports and conclusions were sent to the top leadership up to the head of state.
Of course, we caused a lot of trouble for the authorities, but we managed to do a lot - with the provision of housing and employment for dismissed officers, assistance to families who have lost their breadwinners, and support for enterprises. Such as, say, the Irkutsk aircraft plant, which produces the now famous Su fighting vehicles, a shipbuilding plant on Far East. Managed to defend a number of specialized military educational institutions, put under the knife of "optimization".
Is there anything that hasn't been done?
Alexander Kanshin: The idea of a "ministry of the elderly" was not carried through to the end. It arose at an all-Russian meeting of representatives of veteran organizations, which we held together with Rossiyskaya Gazeta. People came from all over the country, the heads of a number of ministries, health workers, and social protection workers came. Veterans have a lot of problems, including because they are solved by different departments in different local conditions.
Say, the status of a veteran of the Great Patriotic War is the same for everyone, but is it possible to compare the quality of life, pension and social security, medical care of a Muscovite or St. Petersburg resident and a resident of a steppe or taiga village? Then the idea arose to gather veterans in one department and hand care of them into one hand, that is, to create a kind of "ministry of the elderly." There is such an experience in the world, and it is successful. The veterans' initiative was reported to the very top, and then the president instructed the ministries to work out the issue. But...
In the past, you, as deputy chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of Defense, openly and harshly criticized the army leadership for the loss of the authority of military service, for separating the army from the public. Is everything different now?
Alexander Kanshin: With the arrival of Minister Sergei Shoigu to the department, the situation has changed radically. There is no need to say how much the authority of the army has grown in the eyes of the people and what its real combat power has become - this is obvious to everyone. The style of military leadership has changed, the army has become an organism that is open and understandable to people, the minister himself participates in almost all socially significant events. With his light hand, the children's and youth mass movement "Yunarmiya" was created. Hundreds of thousands of boys and girls, instead of meaningless "parties" in basements and nightclubs, where, apart from bad habits you won’t gain anything, they go in for sports, temper the body and soul, get acquainted with the glorious pages of our history, learn to be citizens and defenders of their native country. The Public Council, which is now headed by the head of the capital's journalistic organization, Pavel Gusev, is an active participant in useful undertakings.
We do not earn in order to make new money, but we use income for social programs
In 2011, Megapir organized an event on a planetary scale - at the Congress of Veterans in Paris, the International Advisory Committee of Reserve and Reserve Officers was created, which included representatives of 28 countries, and you were elected president. What is this organization today?
Alexander Kanshin: The idea to gather at one table the former military from the NATO bloc and the Warsaw Pact, who had previously looked at each other through the slots of the sights, was met with enthusiasm. People should speak, not guns - this motto turned out to be close to literally everyone both in the West and in the East. The IWC really included veteran organizations from Europe, Central and South-East Asia, Latin America, from the Middle East and from Africa. Frenchman Laurent Attar-Bairou, General Frantisek Blanarik from Slovakia, General Anatoly Boyko from Ukraine, representatives of Spain, Kazakhstan and Bulgaria were elected Vice-Presidents of the IWC. It was about joining the ICC veterans of the United States, Germany and a number of other countries, even about coordinating efforts with the Confederation of Reserve Officers of NATO countries. But times have suddenly changed. Due to various sanctions and restrictions, cooperation has become more difficult. Nevertheless, the IWC is alive and continues to work.
Large-scale action "Mission of Peace and Friendship", dedicated to the 70th anniversary Great Victory, was held in Paris with the laying of wreaths at the Eternal Flame and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier under the Arc de Triomphe. The Parisians stood in ranks along the central street and accompanied the delegation of Russian and French veterans with applause.
The same cordial welcome was given to the participants of the fifth IWC forum in Bratislava last summer. In conditions when the military situation in the world has become difficult to predict, we consider live human contacts between influential veteran organizations to be especially important. This "people's diplomacy" of ours is approved and supported by the Foreign Ministry and the presidential administration.
“In the 90s of the XX century, thousands of officers of the Armed Forces found themselves on the sidelines of life. For many of them, this was a real tragedy. After all, they all gave their best years to the army. - to survive in those conditions that are dramatic both for Russia and for the Armed Forces. Having gone through serious difficulties, we created the socio-economic base of our organization and began to help those who are in difficulty. First of all, the Armed Forces, veterans, the younger generation. Us supported by state bodies, public organizations, famous military leaders, scientists and cultural figures, for which we are very grateful to them," said the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Association, Major General Vladimir Bogatyrev.
At the end of October 2018, the National Association of Associations of Reserve Officers of the Armed Forces (MEGAPIR) celebrated its 25th anniversary. It is safe to say that much has been achieved in the past years, but much more remains to be done. Megapirovtsy, as representatives of a truly officer alloy, are ready to continue working for the benefit of their homeland and Russian society.
Yesterday's servicemen started almost from scratch. Nerves and pain for comrades, uncertainty about the future, carelessness and callousness of officials, moral decline in society, disrespect - all this the defenders of the Motherland had to face and fight in civilian life.
Despite the difficulties and obstacles, the Association managed not only to survive, but also to develop successfully. She became a rallying base for the officer backbone Russian army, people of honor and duty, with vast managerial experience, high spiritual and moral qualities. The organization is widely known as having united under its wing many prominent and honored officers whose main goal is to serve their Fatherland and people.
Even by its name, the Association symbolizes the strength and steadfastness, loyalty and commitment, honesty and decency of the people working in it. "Megapyr" in Greek means - heat-resistant. In industry, it refers to a group of chromal-type alloys capable of withstanding temperatures over a thousand degrees. Such alloys are used in rocket science, in the manufacture of heating elements for electric furnaces. Among themselves, the employees of the Association call this alloy "officer's", as if confirming that the hardening they received during their service in the army is akin to the strength of "Megapyr".
Support for the Russian Armed Forces is one of the main directions of the Association's work. After all, its representatives know firsthand the problems of the army and understand that most of them are not generated by the military organization, but some disregard for people in uniform on the part of society and the state.
And, first of all, the Association focused on helping young commanders in their professional growth. As you know, generals and even marshals work in Megapire, who have gone through a harsh life school, sniffed both front-line and polygon gunpowder, who pass on their experience to the younger generation of officers. At the same time, the organization patronizes some units and encourages the best sergeants and officers of the Armed Forces.
A special area of Megapira's work is caring for the children of those who laid down their lives in battles while performing military duty. The Association patronizes the children of servicemen who died in Chechnya, South Ossetia and other "hot spots". They are paid monthly stipends until they reach the age of 18.
Megapirovtsy provide active assistance to schools and local administrations in the patriotic education of the younger generation, as well as preparing young men for military service. In 2011, with the support of reserve officers, the Choreopolis choreographic studio was formed at the Darya Center for Aesthetic Development.
Today the Association unites more than forty complementary commercial and non-commercial structures. At the same time, Megapir, thanks to its numerous social and economic projects, is known in various circles of Russian society, the political and financial elite. However, the most valuable thing is that ordinary citizens know about the Association, and especially those who once needed help.
