Industrial Installations in Novo-dTroitsk Area, C ov
Oblast.
a, First Blast Furnace Plant (Pervsy Domennvr Zavod), which is
located in the southern part of Novo-Troitaks a" is referred to as
"Stroy-Gorodok". This plant was it into operation in 1954 and is
allegedly subordinate to some gombinat in Orsk (5110N-5834Fk). The plant
has a brick smokestack, apg oximately 120 meters high. The plant operates
24 hours a day on three eight-hour shifts and seven days each week. The
plant is very large; it has an old railroad spur track; and has several
thousand workers. cast-iron blocks were manufactured

here and shipped mainly to Chelyabinsk (551ON-6124E)a
b. The Second Blast Ftunace Plant (Vtoroy Domennyy Zavod) is referred
to as "Maksay", and is located in the eastern part of Novo-Troitsk and 2 kme
to the west of Stroy-uorodok. Construction of this plant started during
the middle part of 1957 and was supposed to be completed in eight months;
however, in April 1958 this plant
was not yet completed although the blast furnace had already been built.
The smokestack was yet not completed. According to rumors this plant was
supposed to produce cast iron also and be much larger than the previous
plant (Item l.a.). A number of convicts from the Novo-Troitsk Forced Labor
Camp "Kirpichnyy" were employed in the construction, The Trest Orsk-
metallurgstroy, Novo-oitsk, was responsible for the construction of this
plant.
e. Steel Mill, which was referred to as "Marten", was located in
Stroy Gorodok near the First Blast Furnace Plant (item l.a.). Construction
of Marten was launched in 1954 and the mill had not yet been quite com-
pleted in April 1958. Judging bythe size of the plant site, the Marten
when it will be completed will be one of the largest industrial installations
in Novo-Troitsk. Completion of this mill, as rumored, is scheduled for
the and of 1958.
Marten mill is put into operation some motor vehicle will be manufactured
in Novo-Troitsk. No type or make of vehicle was mentioned*
d, Coke-Chemical Plant (Koksokhimzal24), referred to usually as
"Koksokhim", is located in the western part of Novo-Troitsk near the First

the plant) (makes coke. The plant has several
high smokestacks, some of which have been built of blocks and some of
steel. The smoke is sometimes of a yellow color, or gray-yellow, and
sometimes is a white-like steam. One of the steel smokestacks is con-
stantly blowing fire day and night. The highest smokestack, built of
bricks, never gave off any smoke during the daytime but at night the light
at the
of the burning fire could be observed/stack's top. Some kind of waste
in the form of a yellow, greasy liquid would come from this plant and was
carried through an open, narrow canal into the Ural River. Source heard
the people tell that the liquid was poisonous, and that it has killed quite
a number of chickens, pigs and other domestic animals, which have drunk
some of this liquid. The Yoksokhim operates 24 hours a day, including
holidays, with three eight-hour shifts. This plant is allegedly subordinate
to the same Yombinat in Orsk, as the First Blast Pu.rnaca Plant (item l.a).
e. Thermal Tlectr c Power Plant (abbrev: TBS) is located in bovo-
Troitsk in Stroy Gorodok, close to the plants in items l.&. and l.d.
Construction of this plant was started prior to 1953 and was completed
sometime durizgl955 or 1956. According to rumors the plant,in addition to
supplying electric current to industries and the town of Novo-Troitek,
also supplies steam for heating purposes,

some constructions have been underway at the 50X1-HUM
following locations:
a, Akkerenovka (5112N-5820E),
b, Kuvandyk (5127N--5722E), and
as Khalilovo (512'J-5809E).
in Akkermanovka there is a large stone quarry
which supplies bricks for the building of plants and apartments, in Novo-
Troitak and other localities,
4, Construction of apartment houses, dormitories, and worker housing
projects is the responsibility of several organizations referred to as R.S.U.
there are several R.S.U.1s in Novo-Troitski
B.S.U..?-19 R.S.U.?-??, and there may be even an R.S,U,-.3,
addition to domestic manpower, the R.S.U.-?--1 employed 400 Chinese workers, which
were imported for that purpose in 1955 from China, These Chinese have been
employed in the construction of apartment houses in the Novo-Troitak district
called "Zapadnyy". All R.S.U,ta in Novo-Troitak are allegedly subordinate to
the Trest Orskmetallurgstroy.
5. Starting in 1955 many rumors regarding an underground 50X1-HUM
classified plant, "Zasekreohennyy savod", in Orsk. The plant is allegedly
under the control of the military and manufactures some war materials or equip-
ment. According to rumors the manpower of this plant consists principally of
CP aimbers and Komsomoles, It is of interest to note that some workers from

Novo-Troitak who had applied and received jobs at this plant, never came back
to Novo-droitsk for visits.
6. It is a matter of common knowledge that there is a military airfield
in Oraki Jet planes from Orsk often
fly over Novo-Troitak. There was presumably on 10 March 1958s at 2200 hours,
a mock air-raid on Novo-Troitak from Orsk. On that date all factory workers
in Novo-Troitsk were informed that the electric current would be cut off at
2200 hours, and that everybody has to stay at home. No information on the air
exercise was given. Ten minutes after the lights were off the planes were over
Novo-Troitak. There was a lot of AAA and machine gun firing for one and one-
half to two hours and then the current was again switched on. The air-rwidta

following day at work there was considerable speculation as to the meaning and
purpose of the attack. Some workers pretending to have knowledge s"d it was
air-raid training and that two additional, similar, air-raid exercises would be
held in Novo-Troitsk before May 1958.

a. One was referred to as "Treat Orskmetallurgetroy" with offices
on Ulitsa Pushkina in Novo-Troitak. This organization was in charge of
construction of metallurgical plants in a large area around Orsk.
b. The other organization was referred to as "Yombinat" or "Metal -
lurgical gombinat" with offices in Orsk. The Kombinat was allegedly
responsible for the operation of plants after they have been built and
put into operation by Treat.
2. The Treat Orskmetallurgstroy (hereafter referred to as "Treat") was
headed by Ing. (fnu) SVISTUNOV; his deputy was (fnu) KOLYMAGIN, and zavkhoz

Novo-Troitsk (5l12N-5820J), Chkalov Oblast, is allegedly quite a
50X1-HUM

new town, the construction of which was launched shortly after torld War II,
In 1953
there were only several streets
and a few houses there. This is a 100% factory town; all residents are either
directly employed by the plants or are indirectly connected with that work.
2. The names of the main streets and buildings are indicated on the
attached Sketch Map of Novo-Troitsk and Annotations to the map contains per-
tinent information to the pin-pointed items. In addition to the main streets
50X1-HUM
indicated on the map, there are many side streets running into the main streets,
3. At the present time construction of Novo-Troitsk is far from complete.
Only two main streets, namely, Ul. Sov.s.tskaya and U1. Pushkin have been
asphalted and provided with sidewalks. All remaining streets are still unpaved.
However, all streets, paved or unpaved, have rows of young trees planted on

both sides. As a new town, Novo Troitsk has been built in an orderly way.
All streets run in straight lines in the general direction of east and west
and north and south. The main street in town is Sovetskaya, House numbers
on the streets
run from the west to the east and
from south to north.
4. The surrounding area around Novo-Troitsk is bare and the land,
allegedly, not fertile. There is very little vegetation, especially to the
east of the town, To the west, there are some fields of vegetables, including
cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and watermellons. There are no orchards
anywhere in the vicinity. The climate is sharp with long winters, starting
in October and ending in May. Very often the first snow falls in October and
remains on the ground until spring. Snow storms referred to as "buran" are
quite common in Novo-Troitsk, and they usually come from the east. Spring in the
area is very short and the heat begins at the end of May and lasts through
August. The main rainy seasons are in May and September, although there are
always a few scattered rains in summer,
5. Due to the proximity of major industrial installations, the air in
the eastern part of town is contaminated with smoke and factor odors. The
present tendency therefore is to build the residential area in the western part

There was cold-running water in the wash-rooms and hot water in the kitchens.
One kitchen, referred to as the "tea kitchen", always had boiling water; the
other kitchen was equipped with a wood and coal range, where the residents
could prepare simple meals or dishes from their own provisions. There were
several electrical outlets in these kitchens where residents could plug-in their
own electric tea kettles or hot plates. The house did not have a bathroom, 50X1-HUM
One room in the house was set-up as a make-shift snack bar where bread,

Orsk to purchase them. Work clothes and inferior-quality textiles, however,
were always available in the local stores. Fruit and vegetables were usually
the

areas. These goods were usually sold openly in the kolkhoz market placeson
Sundays. The market prices at the beginning of 1958 were as follows:
