Universal Myshkin, who, with his height, could play in any position - from playing to the center - was among the best world basketball players. Anatoly Dmitrievich Myshkin was born on August 14 in the village of Sylva of the Sverdlovsk Region. Father - Myshkin Dmitry Ivanovich? Mother - Myshkina Claudia Alexandrovna? My wife - Myshkina Vedel Natalya Viktorovna G. Daughter from her first marriage - Myshkina Ekaterina Dmitrievna, the city of Ural schoolchildren Tolya, was primarily interested in the guitar, on which he learned the songs of the Beatles.

Having received a bit from my father, I was forced to focus on basketball. ” Anatoly’s game career began in the year in the Sverdlovsk basketball club Uralmash, where Alexander Kandel was its first coach. After graduating from high school, Anatoly Myshkin entered the Ural Polytechnic Institute. Later he will graduate from the Moscow Regional Institute of Physical Education, having received a specialty of basketball coach.

Having surrendered to sports without a trace, by the age of 18 Myshkin was already one of the leading players of Uralmash and received an invitation to the USSR national team. He will achieve outstanding successes as striker of the country's main team. His first serious international tournament was the European Championship in Spain, at which the wards of the head coach Vladimir Kondrashin won a bronze medal.

Two years later, in Yugoslavia, as part of the Soviet Union’s national team, Anatoly Myshkin becomes a silver medalist of the European Championship of the year, losing to many years of rivals in the final match - the team of Yugoslavia, the next year, became a turning point in the career of the Ural Gems. At that time, the father of Anatoly headed the department for the acquisition of the troops of the Ural District, and any conscript went through his signature.

Myshkin says: “Three years for directives from Moscow demanding that I call me to CSKA, he replied that he had no such opportunity. Finally, some general called his father: “Gomelsky has already taken me out, take this Myshkin under the machine gun! So, in the summer of the year, as part of the national team led by V. Kondrashin, the striker of Uralmash went to his first Olympic Games.

In Montreal, losing to the Yugoslavs in the only match of the Olympic tournament, the USSR national team did not break into the final and was awarded the honorary bronze medal. In the duel of eternal rivals, tall and technical centr from Yugoslavia practically took the victory from the shield. During the pre -Olympic tour of the United States, the USSR national team players thoroughly studied the game of Americans of basketball players, knew the strengths and weaknesses of their national team of the year.

However, they did not happen to meet at the site. Changing the apartment and the car in Sverdlovsk to the dormitory room on Peschanaya Street in Moscow, in the fall of the year he joined the ranks of basketball army. And very quickly became one of the team leaders. Then the coach Alexander Yakovlevich Gomelsky awarded his ward with the nickname "Prince". Myshkin recalls: “On one of the training, he told me:“ Well, prince, you give!

He did not finish until the time when he could go to the site with the inscription "prince" on his back. For me, this is not a nickname, but the second, basketball name ... ” Over the long years of performances in the strongest team of the country and the national team Anatoly Myshkin, I was remembered by lovers of basketball who went to look at the Prince of Myshkin, a huge dedication, the struggle on the site, and excellent interaction with partners.

You can wear multi -colored sneakers and dye your hair, but if you are not able, for example, to beautifully score the ball from above, then your image is a soap bubble. This was in Kyiv in the match of the intercontinental Cup with the national team of Mexico. I trained that throw for three months, then for a long time I persuaded Eremin to give me a pass in the gap.

In the match, he made the right program, I scattered, pushed off the penalty line, gave a “screw” and drove the ball from above ... It was foolishness, but no one did such numbers then. Today, young players admire, watching how they score in the NBA with a stretch and a deflection under the ring. I can show photos of summer prescriptions on which I do the same.

And what is now called a “parachute”, Yremin and I generally performed in every game. They learned this combination in Uralmash. Somehow, they even seriously quarreled because of her: Stas wanted me to jump out before his transfer, and I demanded that I first throw me the ball.For a month, they did not talk in addition to a successful club game A.

The main applicants for the “gold” of the tournament again became the teams of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. Belostnia or V.

Tkachenko, A. Myshkin, A. Lopatov, A. Salnikov and C. Despite the significant advantage of growth, Soviet basketball players were inferior in the game under the shield of Yugoslavs, and the central battle of the final round ended in favor of Yugoslavia despite the fact that the national team of the USSR did not defend the champion title, it again confirmed that it was again included The top three giants of modern world basketball.

The European Championship in Italy was marked by the triumph of Soviet athletes. The tournament formula again underwent changes: 12 participating teams were divided into three preliminary groups, and then semifinal games were held: two best teams from each group played among themselves in one circle. This was the last major tournament in front of the Moscow Olympics of the year, when no one suspected the possibility of her boycotting.

The second finalist was the Israeli team, which in the final lost the Soviet team and Italy, but at the expense of victory in a full -time meeting ahead of Yugoslavia and took second place.

In a fight with the Israeli, the USSR national team was a clear favorite, and they could not contrast something in the Soviet car. The Olympic Games of the year in Moscow were awarded the boycott of the competition by the US team. In this regard, Soviet basketball players were considered the main contenders for gold medals. In the final group, the USSR national team offended only two points to Italian rivals and could not take part in the match for the title of Olympic champions - it went to the Yugoslavs.
