Alexander Churin warmly congratulated his father on his 75th birthday.

      In his congratulatory message, Alexander Churin emphasized that his father's entire life is inextricably linked to education: Anatoly Mikhailovich went from being a school history teacher and school principal to the head of the regional education department.

      "But for me, the most important thing has always been not in positions and titles," wrote the head of the "Selmash" Group on his Telegram channel. He noted that his father's profession as a teacher was chosen by his heart's calling and became an example of immense internal responsibility and respect for people.

      Alexander Churin shared that the life principles of his father and grandfather, who returned from the war, were forged in the difficult post-war period. Hard work, responsibility, and the ability to keep one's word, instilled by the older generation, became a guiding principle in his own work.

      "One of the main qualities my father taught me is the ability to learn and listen to people. This is what helps both in work and in life," emphasized Alexander Anatolyevich.

      The topic of education remains important for the Churin family even today. Alexander Churin reminded that it was Anatoly Mikhailovich who became a co-founder of the "Elite of Education of the Kirov Region" award — a mark of respect for educators who dedicated themselves to the profession.

      "Today I just want to say thank you. For the hard work, for the character, for the example, for everything that has been done for the Kirov region, for the education system, and for our family. Happy anniversary, Dad. Wishing you strong health, warmth of soul, and many years of life," concluded Alexander Churin.
