The speaker, First Secretary of the Regional Committee of the CPSU L.B. Shapiro, and the speakers noted that in industry over the past two years, the loss of working time from absenteeism has decreased by 20%, and in construction organizations by more than half. Almost 14 million rubles have been spent on labor safety measures since the beginning of the Tenth Five-Year Plan.
Issues of labor discipline and law and order are considered at meetings of the bureaus of party committees, executive committees of local Soviets, trade union and Komsomol organizations, and bodies of people's control.
Despite this, the level of work of the regional party committees to improve the working and living conditions of workers and employees, strengthen labor and production discipline and public order does not yet fully meet the requirements of the XXVI Party Congress, the November (1982) Plenum of the CPSU Central Committee. The Plenum obliged party committees and primary party organizations to intensify efforts to further improve the working and living conditions of workers and employees, and strengthen labor and production discipline.

The newspaper “Birobidzhanskaya Zvezda” (12+) in the heading “Communists of the Seventies” published an article by A. Mordukhovich “Right-flank” about a war veteran, holder of the Order of Lenin Trofim Emelyanovich Artemenko.
“In Nikolaevka, and throughout the entire Smidovichi region, T. E. Artemenko is well known to many. They know him as the oldest machine operator. For a number of years he was elected as a member of the district party committee, and now he is a deputy of the district council. In 1940, 16-year-old Trofim came from the village of Antonovka, in Primorye, to study his craft at the factory at the Birobidzhan construction office.
In the spring of 1943, Komsomol member Trofim Artemenko entered into the first battle with the Nazis near Kaluga. A week later, the howitzer gunner was wounded. Medal “For Courage”. Hospital.
The victorious spring of 1945 arrived. In the gun crew of senior sergeant Nikolai Fedyaev, gunner Artemenko was the youngest… The commander was from the North Caucasus, but called Artemenko his fellow countryman. He was proud of the gunner, who by that time had two Orders of the Red Star on his tunic.
“Air!” – Berman, who was observing the situation, gave the command. Enemy Junkers appeared above the position occupied by the regiment. The raid could have been waited out in shelter, but then Khodzhaev noticed fascist tanks sneaking from behind the ruins. Tanks! The gun opened fire. One of the enemy vehicles began to smoke and spin around on one track. And then an aerial bomb exploded nearby. Fedyaev was killed on the spot by shrapnel, Artemenko, Berman, Khodzhaev were wounded. Already losing consciousness, Trofim Emelyanovich heard a volley of guards' Katyushas, which stopped the counterattack of the enemy doomed to death. For this battle, he was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, II degree, already at the Smidovichi district military registration and enlistment office, when he worked as a tractor driver at the Volochaevsky state farm.
Trofim Emelyanovich chose a difficult post-war profession for himself. In the first detachment of reclamation workers, he fought for every cell of the new arable land under the legendary Volochaevskaya Hill.
Almost a million cubic meters of developed soil are on the personal account of the veteran reclamation worker during his ten years of work at PMK. In 1974, for his labor feat, T. E. Artemenko was awarded the highest award of the Motherland – the Order of Lenin.”
