He graduated from the Voronezh Agricultural Institute in 1957.[6]

He worked as an engineer at the Vasilievskaya MTS of the Volovsky district of the Lipetsk Oblast, and was the chief engineer for technical supervision and director of the Volovskaya repair and technical station.

Since 1961, he was the director of the Volovsky district association "Agricultural Equipment". In 1962, he was promoted to the deputy chairman of the Lipetsk regional association "Agricultural Equipment".[7] In 1965, he was the Deputy Head of the Regional Department of Agriculture.[8]
