词汇 | stakhanovite |
词源 | Stakhanovite. Soviet authorities reported that coal miner Aleksei Stakhanov vastly increased his production in 1935 by the use of more rational working techniques and teamwork. This voluntary efficiency system, called Stakhanovism, or the Stakhanovite Movement, in the miner’s honor, was strongly en- couraged by the Soviet government to speed up completion of the then current five-year plan, and it did much to accom- plish this national objective. Stakhanovite workers were re- warded with higher pay, bonuses, and other incentives, and while the idea behind Stakhanovism was nothing new, its success in the Soviet Union made the word widely known throughout the world. Aleksei Grigorievich Stakhanov, born in 1905, eventually worked for the U.S.S.R. Ministry of Coal Industries, having made the great leap forward from worker to commissar. He won many awards, including the Order of Len- in, before his death in 1977. |
