In June 2020, he turned 60 years old. We talked with Isakhan Aktanovich about how we managed to remain faithful to the energy sector all these years.

- Which of your parents was the main authority for you?

Of course, my father, a participant in the Great Patriotic War. He served as a pilot, after the war he worked as a veterinarian in the village. I lost my father in high school. My mother lifted the three of us. She worked as a teacher in an elementary school. I really cherish the old photo, where the parents are together, young, beautiful.

- Who influenced your choice of profession?

- The main impetus to enter the energy university was given to me by my older brother. At that time, he was studying at the Polytechnic University and graduating from the Faculty of Energy. I think it is my great success in life that I entered the energy university.

- What were the first steps in your chosen profession?

-I got a job at CHPP-2 as a boiler shop mechanic. To rise to the position, it was necessary to pass three exams: the motorist of the bagernaya pumping station, the duty locksmith and the crawler of the GZU. After you master and master the "minus mark", you can pass the exam for the crawler of the main equipment. For 10 years, he worked as a mill operator for grinding fuel, as a boiler equipment crawler, as a senior engineer of the boiler shop of CHPP-2. It is necessary to work as a machinist for many years to thoroughly study and understand the equipment. After all, the production of electric and thermal energy is a long, difficult and complicated process. Incorrect disconnection, switching can lead to an irreversible accident. Thousands of people work here to ensure that every apartment has light, heat and hot water. I have always tried to be not just an energy specialist, but a specialist. In May 1992, he became the shift manager of the boiler shop. Since April 2005, he worked for two years as the chief engineer of the Almaty CHPP-2.

- Tell us about interesting cases that you remember?

- I remember one story. I was working on the second shield of the station, it was the end of the eighties. There was an earthquake in Almaty, and I stood in the doorway as expected. I stand and look at the remote control. The people were busy. Then everything calmed down. Here comes one of the crawlers of the turbine shop Oleg Kashchaev and says: "Isakhan, I've done such things here. I was sent to warm up a cold pipeline. I began to open it, as it should be a little bit, a little bit. And then the station shakes. People were running. I must have opened the latch very hard, and when I quickly closed it, everything calmed down." I didn't understand it at first, of course, until he told the chief engineer again. It was only then that we realized that an earthquake had occurred just as he was opening the latch. We all laughed together over the incident for a long time.

And the second case was in the early nineties in the winter. It was very cold. We broke one pipeline on the weld seam. It was necessary to urgently eliminate the accident. To do this, it was necessary to empty the pipeline. And it is difficult to do this, since the pipeline stretches for many kilometers. We cook with the contractor, and the pipe bursts, bursts, bursts. We drilled holes, but still water accumulates. We fixed the gap from 6 pm to 4 am. They were frozen, standing knee-deep in the mud of water and snow. It's 18 degrees below zero outside. But surprisingly, no one got sick. He didn't even sneeze. That's what it means to get together and do your job.

- What are your plans for the future?

- Prepare a shift. Young people are growing up. The guys working at the station are talented and responsible. My main goals are to preserve the personnel, prevent technological violations and prepare the personnel reserve. Now that the whole world is facing the covid-19 epidemic, I wish you all good health and prosperity to our company!
