Biography
Born on March 12, 1922 in the village of Koloshino [1] (now within the city of Kirov-Chepetsk, Kirov Region ). He was the eldest in a peasant family of five children [2] .
He began his career in the construction of the Karin narrow-gauge railway in 1940. [1] After graduation, he entered the Irkutsk Military Aviation Technical School (IVATU). With the outbreak of war, the school was reorganized into the Irkutsk Military School of Aviation Mechanics (IVSHAM) with a reduction in the course of study from 3.5 years to 1 year. After leaving school with the rank of junior sergeant, the mechanic Zlobin was sent to the border of Manzhou-go . Due to the tense situation, the staff of the unit kept the aircraft kept around the clock heated by firewood - the temperature reached minus 50–55 °. In June 1943 he was selected to train pilots from aircraft mechanics. After graduating from the Omsk flight school, he was sent to the flight center for retraining in bomber aviation. After training in it, he received a referral to the 7th Guards Gatchinsky Red Banner Regiment of Long-Range Aviation of the 54th Division, based in Poland, and later participated in military operations against Japan. After demobilization in 1948, he began working in the Kirov link of the Syktyvkar separate detachment as a civilian pilot of the Po-2 aircraft [2] .
In 1950, after the decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on the strengthening and development of civil aviation , Li-2 aircraft began to arrive in the Komi ASSR . Zlobin quickly mastered the new technology as a ship commander, and later, when new types of aircraft arrived ( Il-14 , An-10 , An-12 , Tu-134A ), he was one of the first to fly them as a commander [2] .
April 28, 1966 "for special merits in the development of industry, transport, communications in the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic" was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor , with the award of the Golden Star medal and the Order of Lenin [2] .
His total flight time was 22260 hours [3] . In 1980, for health reasons, L.P. Zlobin left his summer job and, as a ground service operator, decrypted the records of the “ black boxes ” and the tape recorders of the crews after the crews completed flights. In 1987 he went on a well-deserved rest [1] .
