ABSTRACT
UR
Novosibirsk Electronics Research Institute 617 is engaged in the research and
prototype production of radio microtubes for the military and kinetronic tubes for
civilian use. The institute consists of six major buildings, a heating plant, and eleven
support-type structures.
This report includes a location map, a photograph, a line drawing, mensural
data, and references.

INTRODUCTION
Novosibirsk Electronics Research Institute 617 is located in the highly
industrialized northern zone of Novosibirsk, USSR (Figure 1). Two nearb facilities
are probably associated with this institute. Novosibirsk Radio Parts Plant 25X1 A
is located approximately 1.0 kilometer (0.62 miles) north of the h ectronics
Research Institute 617 and serves as the rail terminal for the institute. The radio
parts plant collaborates with the institute on technical matters and mass produces
the electronic tubes developed at Electronics Research Institute 617. Novosibirsk
Communications Equipment Plant 2081 is located approximately 25X1 A
3.9 kilometers (2.3 miles) south of the institute. This plant probably uses the
electronic tubes developed at Electronics Research Institute 617 and produced at
Novosibirsk Radio Parts Plant.1
BASIC DESCRIPTION
Electronics Research Institute 617 (Figure 2) consists of 18 structures, including
four large, multistory administration/engineering buildings, three shop buildings, an
equipment maintenance and storage building, a vehicle maintenance and storage
shed, a heating plant, and eight utility buildings.
Chronology
Novosibirsk Electronics Research Institute 617 was blished in the late 1940s
and was probably operational coverage of the institute 25X1 D
was obtained Three arge, multistory a ministration/engineering
buildings (items , 6, an 10, Figure 2) and an equipment maintenance and storage
building (item 9) were the major buildings observed at that time. In addition there
were at least 12 support-type structures.
The first coverage of Institute 617 was obtained
Although the p otography was of limited interpretability, new construction was
observed at the institute. The large, multistory administration/engineering building
(item 2) and the large shop building (item 13) were in the initial stages of
construction. The heating plant (item 11) and the vehicle maintenance and storage
shed (item 1) were probably complete at this time.
The nexti photography of the institute was obtained By
this time the large shop building appeared to be complete. The large, multistory

administration/engineering building was in the late stages of completion. A small
shop building (item 5), in the early stages of construction, was also observed. The
area of the institute had been expanded and many of the original support-type
structures had been razed.

the institute contained approximately 54,089 square
meters (583,295 square ee of floorspace.
Production
Institute 617 is engaged in the research and prototype production of radio
microtubes for military purposes and in the research and development of kinetronic
tubes for civilian use, and is probably subordinate to the Fifth Chief Directorate of
the Ministry of Radiotechnical Industry) No photographic evidence of production
has been identified at the institute due to the size and nature of the operation.
Essential Services
Institute 617 is a road-served installation. The road network provides easy access
to air, rail, and water transportation.

Security
The institute is enclosed by a wall which provides external security for nearly
10.19 acres. Access to the institute, and movement within, is probably controlled by
a security/guard force.
