(FOR KEY SEE REVERSE) 25X1 the Picture Tube Laboratory was to be concerned exclusively with research and.development and not production. The facilities for this research and development of picture tubes were to be extremely generous. The space occupied by the laboratories for the development of all electron beam tubes was to be approximately the size of one floor of the old NII-160 development building. Approximately 15 German specialists worked for a period of two or three months in drawing up the plans for the institute. DIERBACH was responsible for the picture tube part of the installation. A chemical laboratory was also xilanned SECRET STATE x ARMY [# INAVY x IAIR X FBI AEC - PSI ev Ix _ ATIC e Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/03: CIA-RDP80-0081 OA001500460006-9 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/03: CIA-RDP80-0081 OA001500460006-9 SECRET 2.. the new institute will be located at.'NII 160. based on the fact that a Soviet 5-year plan to end in 1952) stipulated that the institute should- be built, In-the hallway of the development building at All 160 there was a bronze colored bust of Stalin. Behind this bust was a picture which shows what was to be accomplished during the torrent 5-year plan. On this picture was a. sketch of.a proposed new institute which is the one described. the number of employees in the factory part o ns ti t t N . . u e I l 0. a uvron,1 V= 3,000 workers are employed in the factory. The workers are divided.into two shifts with the day shift being the greater of the 'two. The Picture Tube Department worked thrww oh4f'+e ,., ~~ w9 Y,~W it was the only section to do so. Mere are approximately 125 to 150 engineers and diploma engineers employed in the factory. there were approximately sni 50 ad i i t nician, responsible for the fulfillment of the plan. There are one or two female secretaries; one person for making the payroll; one foreman for checking to determine if all employees are on time; and one man for, scheduling material and making certain that the laboratory .s operating properly, in each I _gekh. n employees in the factory. The Soviets do not have as manyaofvthis type worker in their factories as do the countries.1 Each Teekh has a chief, who is a trade union man rather than a tech- as to the number of employees in the L laboratory, and all other sections of Institute All 1600 there are approximately 500 to 700 engineers; 600 to workers, and approximately 100 administrative personnel employed in the laboratories. There are approximately 500 employees in the old building of the institute, which originally served as a silk factory. During the years 1926 - 1930 it was a RO1-installed tube factory, and now it an administration building housing the ]IYD, union representative, and personnel bureau. In the old OKBM building there are approximately 6,000 to 8,000 workers, of which.five per cent are engineers* there are 20,000 to 30,000 employees in the ti en re institute. based on the fact that Fryazino had approximately 40,000 inhabitants 1 Of this group only the children did not work at NIT 160. In addition, workers came in from. the immediate area of.Pryazino as well as from Moeoow. The chief of NII 160 was responsible for preparing asphalt for the streets of Pryazino as well as the stone for the r. yr ,Nil 16 WV is still responsible for all of the work that goes on in Fryazino.

The train ran from Moscow to Monino via Bol,shevo and it was necessary for the people to-transfer at Boishevo in order to come to Fryazino. The engineers usually come from Moscow, due to the fact that there axe not enough apartments in Fryazino to properly house them. At first .the institute had a very difficult time employing good engineers because of the poor housing conditions in Fryazino; \-_however, the institute now is very popular and employs many very good engineers. In addition to the workers that commute by train, many ride bicycles to work, and a few walk, even though it takes them approximately two hours each way. Connections to and from Moscow are very bad except during the period the workers travel to and from work. The connection from Moscow to Shchelkovo is good, but the transfer at Bolshevo requires a 30-to 45-minute wait, making the trip from Moscow to Fryazino consume four hours. With reference to the Nil 160 Secret Departments In January 150, Mr. ASTRIN and two Soviet engineers worked in room 6 of the third floor of the Nil 160 development building One of the two Soviet engineers who worked'for Mr. ASTRIN was a civilian, and the other was either a captain or major in the artillery. At any rate, he definitely was not in the Navy or Air Force. One of the two engineers was named WALDMANN In 1950 a Soviet engineer in a naval uniform was assigned to this department. Also at this time engineers were taken from various Nil 160'laboratories and assigned to the Secret Laboratory, as well as were other engineers from Moscow. 11iss'Marina ALENIKOWA, and. Miss Janastepanb a MARCZINZEWA were taken; from the Dark Traco Tube 'Laboratory' and placed in the Secret Department. 2 Two or,three lesser qualified people were also assigned there from the Dark Trade" Laboratory. Mr,. ASTRIN, Chief of the Secret Department, was originally Chief of the Dark Trace Tube Laboratory. Later on he was made Ohief of both the Secret and Dark Trace Labs. -in Deoember 1949,. the Dark Trace Laborator was located in room 6 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/03: CIA-RDP80-0081 OA001500460006-9 25X1 25X1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/03: CIA-RDP80-0081 OA001500460006-9 to t77U room-23 was.also'.assigned to the Secret Department, and room 6 was turned into'a'Secret Department workshop. Also, at this time more Soviets-came to the Secret Department from other institutes or universities. In 1951, in room 23, there were five to eight engineers who had originally come from other institutes or universities, and five .to eight technicians. In room 16 there are about the same number oif engineers., but there are no technicians. the Secret Department was solel concerned with the development, and limited production of storage tubes. I.
