1984 year   

Summer 1984 witnessed the grand opening of the bust to Alexander Ivanovich Shokin, a minister of electronic industry of the USSR, a founder of the All-Soviet Union microelectronics center in Zelenograd, twice-awarded Hero of Socialist Labour (1975, 1979), laureate of the state prize of the USSR (1952, 1953). The ceremony took place in Zelenograd beside the main entrance to MIET university.

The place to install the monument was selected according to the following grounds: the bust was to be installed in the home country and as Alexander Ivanovich was born in Moscow (Zelenograd is the district of Moscow) and developed the idea of MIET university, his monument was bound to stand close to new generations. Where else could this only monument to Shokin be installed? Only in the town that he founded, the town that he put his heart and life into.
