Ceremonial events commemorating the 90th anniversary of the first Director General of Nizhnekamskneftekhim, Hero of Socialist Labour and Minister of Oil Refining and Petrochemical Industry of the USSR Nikolai Vasilyevich Lemaev began in Nizhnekamsk today.

In the morning, a ceremony of laying flowers at the bust of the outstanding person took place, after which a memorial plate was opened at 8 Shkolny Boulevard. Events continued at the Nizhnekamsk Folk House. A photo exhibition dedicated to the life of the first Director General of Nizhnekamskneftekhim and a memorial programme was organised for the guests. The republic’s top officials addressed participants with their speeches. Companions and family members of Lemaev told the guests about their memories associated with Nikolai Vasilyevich.

From 1963 to 1985, Lemaev headed the Nizhnekamsk Petrochemical Plant (a production association since 1977), to which he came as an already established industrialist and business executive. Under his leadership, the enterprise has turned into a complex of high-performance process facilities and has become one of the leaders in the petrochemical industry of the country and Europe in general.
