Excerpt characterizing Kuptsov, Gennady Vasilievich
That there is still someone in the world,Who thinks about you too!
As she, with her beautiful hand,
Walking along the golden harp,
With its passionate harmony
Calling to itself, calling you!
Another day or two, and heaven will come...
But ah! your friend won't live!
And he had not yet finished singing the last words when the young people in the hall were preparing to dance and the musicians in the choir began to knock their feet and cough.
Pierre was sitting in the living room, where Shinshin, as with a visitor from abroad, began a political conversation with him that was boring for Pierre, to which others joined. When the music started playing, Natasha entered the living room and, going straight to Pierre, laughing and blushing, said:
- Mom told me to ask you to dance.
“I’m afraid of confusing the figures,” said Pierre, “but if you want to be my teacher...”
And he offered his thick hand, lowering it low, to the thin girl.
While the couples were settling down and the musicians were setting up, Pierre sat down with his little lady. Natasha was completely happy; she danced with a big one, with someone who came from abroad. She sat in front of everyone and talked to him like a big girl. She had a fan in her hand, which one young lady had given her to hold. And, assuming the most secular pose (God knows where and when she learned this), she, fanning herself and smiling through the fan, spoke to her gentleman.
- What is it, what is it? Look, look,” said the old countess, passing through the hall and pointing at Natasha.
Natasha blushed and laughed.
- Well, what about you, mom? Well, what kind of hunt are you looking for? What's surprising here?
In the middle of the third eco-session, the chairs in the living room, where the count and Marya Dmitrievna were playing, began to move, and most of the honored guests and old people, stretching after a long sitting and putting wallets and purses in their pockets, walked out the doors of the hall. Marya Dmitrievna walked ahead with the count - both with cheerful faces. The Count, with playful politeness, like a ballet, offered his rounded hand to Marya Dmitrievna. He straightened up, and his face lit up with a particularly brave, sly smile, and as soon as the last figure of the ecosaise was danced, he clapped his hands to the musicians and shouted to the choir, addressing the first violin:
- Semyon! Do you know Danila Kupor?
This was the count's favorite dance, danced by him in his youth. (Danilo Kupor was actually one figure of the Angles.)
“Look at dad,” Natasha shouted to the whole hall (completely forgetting that she was dancing with a big one), bending her curly head to her knees and bursting into her ringing laughter throughout the hall.
Indeed, everyone in the hall looked with a smile of joy at the cheerful old man, who, next to his dignified lady, Marya Dmitrievna, who was taller than him, rounded his arms, shaking them in time, straightened his shoulders, twisted his legs, slightly stamping his feet, and with a more and more blooming smile on his round face, he prepared the audience for what was to come. As soon as the cheerful, defiant sounds of Danila Kupor, similar to a cheerful chatterbox, were heard, all the doors of the hall were suddenly filled with men's faces on one side and women's smiling faces of servants on the other, who came out to look at the merry master.
- Father is ours! Eagle! – the nanny said loudly from one door.
The count danced well and knew it, but his lady did not know how and did not want to dance well. Her huge body stood upright with her powerful arms hanging down (she handed the reticule to the Countess); only her stern but beautiful face danced. What was expressed in the count's entire round figure, in Marya Dmitrievna was expressed only in an increasingly smiling face and a twitching nose. But if the count, becoming more and more dissatisfied, captivated the audience with the surprise of deft twists and light jumps of his soft legs, Marya Dmitrievna, with the slightest zeal in moving her shoulders or rounding her arms in turns and stamping, made no less an impression on merit, which everyone appreciated her obesity and ever-present severity. The dance became more and more animated. The counterparts could not attract attention to themselves for a minute and did not even try to do so. Everything was occupied by the count and Marya Dmitrievna. Natasha pulled the sleeves and dresses of all those present, who were already keeping their eyes on the dancers, and demanded that they look at daddy. During the intervals of the dance, the Count took a deep breath, waved and shouted to the musicians to play quickly. Quicker, quicker and quicker, faster and faster and faster, the count unfolded, now on tiptoes, now on heels, rushing around Marya Dmitrievna and, finally, turning his lady to her place, made the last step, raising his soft leg up from behind, bending his sweaty head with a smiling face and roundly waving his right hand amid the roar of applause and laughter, especially from Natasha. Both dancers stopped, panting heavily and wiping themselves with cambric handkerchiefs.

On July 15, 2011, Gennady Vasilyevich Kuptsov acted as a plaintiff in the Lipetsk Regional Court. In 1976, he, in collaboration with three scientists, patented the invention “Device for protecting liquid metal from interaction with the environment,” which, according to the plaintiff, has been used at NLMK since 1992. Gennady Kuptsov demanded royalties from NLMK in the amount of 227,939,772,584 rubles. However, Gennady Kuptsov failed to prove the use of the invention by the plant.
Gennady Kuptsov is from the Saratov region, graduated from school in Baku, and began his career in construction
Sumgayit Thermal Power Plant, then, having risen to the level of 4th grade carpenter, he decided to become a metallurgist. After graduating from Leningrad
metallurgical technical school, Mr. Gennady Vasilyevich worked for four years at the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant and entered the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys to study.
Having defended his Ph.D. thesis, Gennady Kuptsov taught for a long time at the Department of Metallurgy of Ferrous Metals of the Lipetsk Polytechnic Institute. Having worked his way up from assistant to associate professor, he became the author of 46 scientific papers. And then, together with the whole country, he rebuilt and went into the political field.
Kuptsov began his political activity as a deputy in the Lipetsk Regional Council of People's Deputies and in 1991 “conquered” the governor’s chair.
Gennady Vasilyevich's governorship was not long, but stormy, managing to quarrel with his supporters and make his opponents laugh. In the struggle for a bright future, the mayor tried to “restructure” his former colleagues in parliament into
regional council and even officials of their own apparatus. However, given that Kuptsov was neither a business executive nor
an economist, not a functionary, and not even fluent in bureaucratic slang, all these attempts did not bring any significant results. But we must admit that the governor acted solely for altruistic reasons. The only thing he allowed himself was to purchase one car at the expense of the Novolipetsk plant.
After Kuptsov accused the mayor of the regional center, Anatoly Savenkov, of poor transport service and tried to bring him to justice, the patience of the governor’s entourage ran out. And on the eve of the Christmas holidays, on December 23, 1992, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin, Kuptsov was deprived of governor’s regalia without explanation.
From that moment on, carpenter, metallurgist, teacher and politician Gennady Kuptsov had a new “hobby”. Disgraced
the governor filed a lawsuit to invalidate the presidential decree that deprived him of the governor's chair. The most amazing thing is that Kuptsov won this lawsuit against Yeltsin. However, Gennady Vasilyevich failed to return the governor’s seat - by that time another people’s representative was already sitting there.
Subsequently, Kuptsov put forward his candidacy for many other “elected” positions - both gubernatorial and Duma. The last time the former governor tried to become a State Duma deputy, the signatures he collected were declared invalid.
In addition to elections, Gennady Vasilyevich often participates in lawsuits with journalists. Here he sometimes wins. In particular, he managed to force a journalist from one of the regional newspapers to admit that the phrase “odious Kuptsov” was not true.
He is married and has a son, who, unfortunately, unlike his father, chose drugs over carpentry, metallurgy and politics.
