Where does the name come from?
Aleksej Grigorjevitsj Stachanov (1906-1977) was a Ukranian miner in Soviet times who is regarded as the communist hero of labour. He astounded management and party leaders alike with his work appetite and enormous productivity. The story goes that, though Stachanov started mining in 1935, he accomplished the incredible less than a year later: he surfaced a record quantity of 102 tons of coal within five hours and 45 minutes - fourteen times his quota. Today Stachanov stands for hardened, dedicated workers. The city of Stakhanov in the Ukraine is named in his honour.
