Novaya is a suburb within the city limits of Moscow. It has factories
'
and 5-story apartment-type dwellings for workers. It is difficult
:::]to estimate the number of people who live in the Novaya area, because
practically every room of every apartment dwelling was occupied by a
family (man, wife, and several children). the district
had a population of 40,000 to 50,000 in 1948.

Monino is located on the outskirts of Moscow. The town is
supported by a wool combine. The population (1952) is about 25X1
10,000 to 159000.
Novaya is supplied with water by the Moscow water supply system.
This water times from an artificial lake prepared 25X1
by dredging out a canal on the land north of Moscow. This
supply of water does not meet all of the demands of the people
in Novaya and wells are also employed as sources of surely
Another source of water I
used was a carbonated water made available
free by the management; for 10 kopeks this carbonated water
could be obtained with a flavoring agent added. However, the
Soviets usually drank any water available, even that from
puddles on the street. -

the street came from a nearby kolkh o z; it was hard water
and contained iron sa.ts. The supply of water in the summer
was very low. The Soviets in the neighborhood used wells

there was no hygienic
wat,er control. No one seemed to bother to give the water
any special treatment.
Novaya had a sewage system which was a part of the Moscow
central system. Monino had no sewage system, and sewer pipes
from the sanitarium led directly into a little brook nearby.
A t Ilyinskaya garbage
from the sanitarium was thrown into a bin in the rear of the
house in a parklike area. The kolkhoz also picked up the
garbage from this bin at irregular intervals. Novaya's
garbage was probably handled by the Moscow city authorities.
In Monino, garbage was placed ir. a container on the street .
and- picked up about once ever 14 days by a special. garbage

In the 0e14ter of Moscow the streets are kept very clean and
the street cleaning department, has modern automatic trucks.
There is no street cleaning in.Novaya, Ilyinekaya,or Monino,
and dirt simply accumulates. There were no streets at the
place referred to as Napustin Yat;.
Ilyinekaya has a new hospital with five separate 2-story
buildings, but it to used only for employees of the TsAGr
(an aeronautical research institute). Non-employees of the
aeronautical institute had to go to Bykovo, a village 8 km
away, where a hospital w as_located in a stone--barracks. This
hospital was very crowded and patients were slee in in the
corridors. In Novara and in every distriot
of Moscow,
there was a hospital for.the citizens of the district. In
Monino, which was the central city of a district, there was a
hospital. In Kapustin Yar ,'the Soviets had supplied a
one our "4ospital train" to furnish m dical aid to the workers
there (who number d abut 1 -.
There was one dispensary in.Monino and one in Ilyinakaya; in
Novaya, each institute had a dispensary for its workers, and
presumably for the families of the workers. In Monino, the
dispensary was in a building next to the hospital. One had to
Wait 3-4 hours to obtain medical advice here. An X-ray room
here had about 70 oases per day.
