Nikita Izotov
Nikita (Nikifor) Alekseyevich Izotov (Russian: Никита (Никифор) Алексеевич Изотов; February 9 [O.S. January 27] 1902 — January 14, 1951) was a Soviet coal miner. He is sometimes referred to (at least by specialists) as the "First Stakhanovite", because he was the first Soviet worker singled out by the press for a superhuman act of labor. In his case, he was praised for having mined far more coal than anyone else—dozens of times the quota.[1]
For a brief period of time, beginning with a May 11, 1932, article in Pravda, Izotov was held up as a model worker, giving rise to the short-lived movement of "Izotovism", which was later eclipsed by Stakhanovism. This movement later ended during the de-Stalinization era.[2]
