Aleksey Popov, an electrician at the National Hospital of the Presidential Administration, worked from the technical school itself. But he has been responsible for the energy of the leading hospital for 24 years. Blackout in his shift happened only once, and even then due to the fault of city networks.
– Our job is not only to fix problems, but also to prevent them. We do not wait for the light bulb to fail, but change it in advance, because it is a strategic object. At the same time, we are also engaged in illumination, in 2010, thanks to our lighting, the hospital was named the brightest object in the city.
When asked if he was electrocuted, he answered with a smile, as without it, but says the body gets used to even electric shocks. Alexey does not feel like the lord of light, he modestly says that in the hierarchy of electricians he is generally in the lower caste of low-voltage, higher high-voltage. Although clearly modest, because it has the highest fifth category. In his free time, Alexey also works, is engaged in auto electrics.
