2. The Stanislav branch (employs 500 workers) has the following con-
struction sectors (no details on the Chernovtsy branch available):
a. The Kalush sector links 32 kolkhozes to the electric
grid (24 are in the Kalush district and 8 in the Stanislav district).
The current which is required by the kolkhozes is supplied by
the power station of the Kalush potash plant, which has a capacity
of 22, 000 kw; of these, 3, 20Q kw were set aside for the Kolkhozes.
This station also supplies electricity to Kalush itself. From the
station to the Kolkhozes four overhead lines (on wooden poles),
with a total length of 56 km were laid. About 70 workers are
employed in this sector. They have erected transformer stations
and make electric installations in the homes of the peasants.
b. The Rogatin CN49-24 E24-37] sector consists of the districts of Burshtyn, Bolshovtsy and Rogatin. About 200 persons
are employed in this sector for connecting 32 Kolkhozes to the
power station of the sugar factory located about three km. from
Bolshovtsy in the direction of Galych. This power station was
constructed by Czechs and put in operation in 1956. This station
has a capacity of 14, 000 kw, of which 2,800 kw are supplied to
the kolkhozes. The current is transmitted along three overhead
lines (on concrete poles) with a total length of 80 km. In six of

the kolkhozes local power stations with 150 kw generators
(supplied by plant No. 207 in Leningrad) and 72 kw generators
(supplied by the tractor plant in Stalingrad) were built.
c. The Gorodenka CN48-40 E25-30J sector comprises
the districts of Gvozdets, Gorodenka and Tlumach. It has a
staff of approximately 90. During 1955-56, it connected 13 kol-
khozes to the electric grid; of these, 11 were supplied by the
power station of the Gorodenka food products factory, a total
of 1, 900 kw being set aside for the kolkhozes. In the other two
kolkhozes, 105 kw generators, made by plant No. 207 in Leningrad,
were installed.
d. The Kolomyya (N48-33 E25-037 sector comprises
a number of poor hill districts, such as Kosov, Kuty, Snyatyn,
J Zhabe, and Kolomyya. It has about 100 workers, who connected
several dozens of kolkhozes to the power stations at Kolomyya,
Zhabe and Stanislav during 1955-1956.
3. By the end of 1956 the districts of Burshtyn and Kalush were almost
completely electrified. At that time, construction of a hydro-electric
power station (GES) was begun in Chernelitsa (N48-48 E25-26], on
the banks of the Dnestr River, which is to generate a total of 220, 000
kw and is to augment the existing supply of electric power in the pro-
vinces of Ternopol, Stanislav and Chernovtsy. In 1956, preparation

Industrial and Military Information on. Dubno
1. The city of Dubno LT50-25, E25-4Q,in the Rovno oblast, had a
population of about 25,000. The principal industrial plants
in the city were the following:
a. A meat preserves factory.
b. An iron foundry (Chugunno-Liteyniy), which
produced agricultural implements.
c. A sugar refinery which, in 1957, was under
construction on the road to Mirogoshcha
/1750-26, E25-517. There were also plans to
erect a distillery, a wine press, and a large

fruit and vegetable dehydration plant in
the vicinity of the refinery.
2. There were the following military installations in Dubno and
vicinity:
a. A military cantonment accommodating an air
force division and its headquarters., which
was located to the left of the road leading
from Dubno to the Dubno railroad station;
the station was located about five kilometers
from the town and the cantonment about four
and one-half kilometers. In 1957, the staff
of the divisional headquarters included two
generals who were "Heroes of the Soviet Union".
b. A jet airfield, which adjoined the military
cantonment and extended along the road leading
to I?iirogoshcha station. The field was con-
structed in 1950/1951 on land which had been
confiscated for this purpose from various kolkhozy.
It contained concrete runways and radar installa-
tions.

The Cultural and Educational Workers Institute

5.
The Cultural and Educational Glorkers Institute (Tekhnikum
Podgotovky Kulturno-Prosvetite.lnikh Habotnikov) in Dubno
trained librarians, club, and art group directors for work
in clubs of small towns, villages and settlements. The
institute was located at 5 Zamkovaya Street in Dubno, in a
three-story former school building. It also had several small,
auxiliary structures.
The institute was subordinate to and maintained by the Ukrainian
Ministry of Culture and was supervised by the cultural department
of the provincial executive committee and the provincial Party
committee. As a rule, there was only one such institute in each
province. The Dubno institute was the only one of its kind in
the Rovno obiast.
Until 1955/1956, elementary school students who had completed
only seven grades were accepted by the institute. Since that
time, however, only secondary school graduates (10 grades) had

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/08/17: CIA-RDP80T00246AO54300020001-6

been admitted. This was the result of a general change of
policy in the Soviet Union with regard to acceptance in such
institutions. Students were admitted by means of competitive
examinations, since the number of applicants was much greater
than the number of vacancies. In 1957, the institute had ninety
vacancies for new students, of w'rich sixty were for cultural
workers and thirty for librarians. The number of applicants
was about 1,000. For screening and selecting only the ablest
applicants, three examinations were held following the prelimin-
ary cursory check, as a result of which candidates were eliminated
for undesirable social antecedents or other reasons. When selecting
candidates, great importance was attached to their general know-
ledge, musical gifts, artistic inclinations, and ability to
express themselves.
6. Prior to 1956, each student received a monthly scholarship grant
of 120 rubles for the first year and 145 rubles for the second.
Since 1956, scholarships had been reserved for those students
who received satisfactory marks and whose economic condition
required such assistance. Following this change, the annual
school fee of 100 rubles payable by each student was abolished.

7. The following subjects were covered in the two-year course
at the institute:
a. History of the Party.
b. Russian literature.
c. Ukrainian literature.
d. Foreign literature.
e. Librarianship.
f. Bibliography.
g. Organization of libraries and cataloguing.
h. Oratory, composition and enunciation.
i. Principles of Socialist agriculture.
j. Exercises in practical work.
k. Field work.
8. Upon completion of his studies, each graduate was examined by
a government committee on the history of the Party, biblio-
graphy, and librarianship. Up to 1955, history of the Party
was studied in accordance with Stalin's "Short Course". Since
the ''Twentieth Party Congress, however, this book had not been
officially recommended. Though it was not excluded from libraries
and reading rooms, it was not advertized or propagated any more.

The book nevertheless remained the basis for studying the
history of the Party, and students had even been requested
to answer questions based on material contained therein.
9. In librarianship, students were trained to instruct the public
in reading literature favored by the authorities, such as the
Peace Campaign and other such publications of current interest.
Students who were to serve as public library directors were
trained to catalogue books in such a way that preference was
given to political literature following the Party line. Govern-
ment and Party decisions and material published by the authorities
appeared in the most prominent place of the catalogue.
10. The Ukrainian Ministry of Education supervised the standard of
teaching at the institute as well as the progress of its students.
Representatives of the ministry paid frequent visits to the
institute so as to inspect the progress of studies and to form
part of the examining board. According to the definition of
the Minister of Education, the aim of the institute was to enable
those who intended to be "dispensers of culture and education to
the People" to acquire proficiency in all the ways and means
used by the government, Party, and trade unions for education of

the masses and their indoctrination with Party ideas and the
lines of action taken by the government in various fields.
11. At the end of the course, students did one month's practical
work at the district libraries, in city and village clubs, or
as organizers of art circles, etc. Graduates were then posted
to places of work by a committee composed of a representative
each of the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture and of the cultural
department of the provincial executive committee, the director
of the institute, as well as representatives of the province
in need of additional workers in the cultural field.
12. Students of the institute usually took their studies seriously
and were willing to go to villages and small settlements for
the purpose of organizing cultural life there. Extensive con-
struction of club buildings had recently been underway in the
villages and small settlements to encourage cultural activities.
Libraries and reading rooms were also being founded, and factories
and public institutions were maintaining cultural clubs for their
employees. All of these activities called for graduates of the
institute.
13. Other similar institutes in the USSR were located in Kharkov
L50-O0, E36-1J, Moscow, and Leningrad.

The Kharkov State Institute
1L. The State Institute at Kharkov, located at 4 Bursatskiy Spusk,
had a four-year course and consisted of two faculties, one for
librarianship and the other for cultural workers. In 1955/1956,
300 students were enrolled at the librarianship course, and 60
were enrolled in the cultural course. The institute also main-
tained a correspondence course. Students were accepted by means
of competitive examinations.

The Bus Factory in Lvov
1. The Bus Factory in Lvov, located at 45 Stryy Street, was
subordinate to the All-Union i`inistry of Heavy Industry. Prior to
1955 this factory produced cranes exclusively. These cranes, which
were mounted on ZIS-51 trucks made by the Yaroslavl Automobile Factory
(Yaroslavskiy Avto Zavod), had a lifting capacity of three tons, could
be rotated 360?, and were intended for raising building material to a
height of five or six meters. In 1955 the plant's output amounted to
100 cranes per month. In 1953-1954, the plant started working out
the technical problems connected with bus construction. In 1955 the

first models of the "Lvov" bus were turned out, and in 1956, produc-
tion amounted to 20 buses per month. With the development of bus
production, the factory gradually reduced its manufacture of cranes.
2. In early 1957 the Lvov Bus Factory employed 3,000 workers
and consisted of the following departments:
a. Accessories fitting shop (Armaturniy Tsekh)
b. Mechanical assembly shop
c. Crane shop
d. Tool maker's shop
e. Mechanical workshop
The machines in the tool maker's shop were made by the machine tool
factory in Kiev, while the DIP-200 and DIP-500 lathes were made by
the Krasniy Proletar plant in Moscow. The plant was also equipped
with German "Peter" and English "Cogan" automatic machines, as well
as machinery of Czech and Japanese manufacture.
3. The "Lvov" bus was considered a technical achievement by the
factory's designers, who maintained that it was a new model, planned
and executed by the factory's own design bureau. The following are
details on the "Lvov" bus:
a. The bus was intended to accommodate 50 passengers. The

upper part of the bus, above the windows, and the roof were made
of plexiglass. The lower part of the body was plated with sheet-
iron on the outside and plywood panelled on the inside.
b. The engine, which ran on gas, was located in the back
of the bus. It was either a ZIS-5 or a ZIS-51 six-cylinder,
73 HP engine. The original "Lvov" model called for a four-
cylinder engine to be installed transversely to save space.
However, the factory (name unknown) which was to have supplied
these four-cylinder engines had not done so by 1957, and, there-
fore, six-cylinder engines were used during the first year of
production. These engines, too, were mounted transversely at
the rear of the bus.
14. During 1955-1956 the factory assembled the buses from com-
ponents some of which were manufactured on the premises and some of
which were supplied by other factories. The engines and gear boxes were
supplied by the Gorki automobile plant. The drive shafts, supplied by
an :unidentified plant, were of a type and size used in ZIS-5 vehicles,
and therefore certain modifications and reduction in size were necessary.
The front and back axles were received ready for use. The tires came
from the tire factory in Yaroslavl and the plexiglass came from an
