A wife remained in the city with three children - Volodya and his two sisters. In the blockade Leningrad, the family survived due to the miracle: in the house where Kondrashin lived, the soldier's bath was located. Therefore, the batteries in the dwelling remained warm, and the hunger seemed not so painful.
Saved and help the neighbors on a communal service. The husband of the head of the bath drove products on horseback. At the end of the day, it raked from the bottom of the balls of crumbs, grain, dug from him and distributed the neighbors on the hand of this "food". Knowed a teenager and taste of joinery glue, which became food in the blockade. The family collected the frozen residues of the cabbage bars left on the floor - compared to glue it was the food of the gods.

Vladimir Kondrashin returned to his hometown, where she settled a student of a locksmith. Soon mastered the second working profession - a plumber.

With basketball, Vladimir Kondrashin met in the army. I also met with the future rival Alexander Gomel. Familiarity of two opponents, after a dozen years, grew into rivalry of the Leningrad "Spartak" and Moscow CSKA, there was no pleasant.
Basketball
In 1952, "Spartak" appeared in the sports biography of the Basketball player who was for Leningrad SKA. 23-year-old Vladimir Kondrashin took a player to the main team, at the same time he worked as a coach in the DUSSH.
In the mid-50s, Vladimir Kondrashin - a rear line player - became a noticeable figure. His height of 1.75 meters was considered in basketball growth of "baby". And low athletes to achieve success, had to make two times more forces than giants.
To overcome the sports disadvantage, Vladimir Kondrashin managed hard work. After the team training, he remained in the hall until she worked out the "norm", established for himself: 500 hits in the basket.
So the basketball player became a sniper. Later, Kondrashin coach also instilled hardworking to students: in training the boys, the elements of the game were "grinding" for hours, until automatism achieved.
At first, the Basketball players "Spartak" remained in the shadow of the "Petrel" teams, Scythian, Lay, but from the third place in the 1958th "Spartak" for the first time rearranged on the first.
