Biography
Victor Blinov was a typical child of his time. You can say “classic” even as a kid. He lived with his father-disabled mother and sister. Father was a shoemaker, mother was a housewife. My sister worked in the cinema named after Mayakovsky, who was standing near the house, played movies, and Victor and his friends often disappeared there, without missing a single premiere. But most often the young Blinov and his comrades could be seen at the Dynamo stadium. He still stands in the center of Omsk - significantly renewed, with plastic seats in the only stand near the football field. In those early years, of course, there were no plastic seats at all. The hockey box also stood not far from the green lawn, which in the winter, naturally, was poured for mass skating and battles of another hockey - Russian. It was on this ice - from morning to evening, and literally, that Blinov and company disappeared. Disappeared to such an extent that they barely had time to learn. Or rather - did not have time at all.
He studied at the Omsk schools number 10 and number 19. In 1961, he began playing hockey in the Omsk team Spartak (now Avant-garde ).
He made his debut as a defender in the national championship in February 1962 . For three championships in the form of his own club, he played 80 matches and scored 13 goals.
