Then the house-building factories in Kuibyshev was first commercial production of products for the construction of 16-storied large-panel houses, . they lived in the Italian engineers and specialists, . providing technical assistance in the development of production cars, "Lada" VAZ,

In connection with the preparation of Moscow "Olympics-80" on behalf of the IGC Bureau of the CPSU in the years 1977-1980 he headed the headquarters for the construction of sports and other facilities for the Olympic Games.

In this period before the urban capital of acutely raised the issue of capacity building of central heating sources for the complete rejection of small local boiler. The issue has been prepared and discussed at the meeting of the Bureau of the CPSU MGK. In the discussion was a tough struggle between the two points of view: to continue to build a thermal power plant, which by this time in Moscow, there were already 20, and district heat plants or move to an atomic version of the thermal power plants. We must pay tribute to the First Secretary of the CPSU MGK V. Grishin, which fully supported the opinion of the Bureau members and secretaries of the continued use of traditional sources of heat. This decision was not easy, because in this period, nuclear power, including thermal power plants, was considered a panacea and is actively supported by the President of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. As a result of the decision nuclear energy to supply heat to the city either in Moscow or the Moscow region is not developed, and, as shown by the bitter experience, a multi-million metropolis escaped at least a small possibility of nuclear emission.

To improve the environment, it was decided to continue the construction of thermal power generators (CHP), mainly in the gaseous fuel, which significantly reduces air pollution.

Under his direct supervision Gosgrazhdanstroya and its institutions has been working to restore the housing stock of the city of Volgodonsk, . where, because of violations of the loess soils of man-made waters, most new homes, . including 9 - and 16-storey and the main span of the plant "Atommash", . been uneven foundation settlement and unacceptable deviation from the vertical,
. Given the adopted technical solutions, managed without relocation of tenants to restore verticality and reinforce the foundation of more than 20 houses, as well as the main span of the plant "Atommash".
