1. The Chernovtsy Machine Works (Chernovitskiy mashinostroitelnyy zavod) was
probably the only plant in Chernovtsy engaged in heavy industry; it was,
at any rate, the largest plant of this kind in town. Until 1958athe
factory was (suzborddnate to the Ministry of ).the Pet ol.e m Industry, but
its subordination since the establishment of the Sovriarkhoz was not known.
The plant was planned in Moscow and built by the construction and_
installation agency (Stroitelno-montazhnaya organizatsiya) of the
Ministry of Transport. The factory was located directly opposite the
town's only thermal power station, on Prutskaya ulitsa, which led to tY
Prut River. Several secondary spurs led into the factory area from the
old railroad spurs to the pl;3Rer station. Construction of the factory
began in 1952, but by 1958 it was still uncompleted. Part of the factory,
however, went into operation in 1956. In 19584e plant already covered AJ.j
a large area and was to reach the banks of the Prut River on completion.15
It was supposed to produce equipment for the oil industry, but according
to rumors in town, it actually produced something else (?).l on completion
the factory was to employ several thousand workers and would use at least
8,000 k? In 1958, the factory employed 1,000 workers in production and
about 2,000 kw was supplied to it by the town's thermal power station.
(The factory was the poor station's principal customer.) Large sums had
been allocated for the construction of the plant and numerous housing
projects had been, and were being, built in various parts of town to
accommodate its workers. A large, five-story apartment house, containing
96 units, was erected on ulitsa Pochtova, in the center of town, on the
site of the former stock exchange. Another three-story apartment house was
erected near the oblast MVD on ulitsa Lenina. The facs'ory's management
offices were located on the factory grounds, at the corner of Prutskaya
and Sevastopolskaya ulitsy, in a two-story building with two ground-floor
wings. -

2. The electric cable network in Chernovtsy had to be changed from the
Rumanian 5,200 volt to the standard Soviet 6,000 volt. New under-
g=und cables were being laid throughout the towr_, usually parallel
to the old ones. In 1957,three cables were laid, from the city's
main power station to the former power station No. 1 on Lesi Ukrainki,
along Zankovetskaya and Vatutina, and passing near the officers club
on Teatralnaya ploshchad.
3. The prewar interurban telephone exchange, built by a company 50X1-HUM
on Universitetskaya ulitsa opposite the former synagogue, was still
in use in 1958. Th.i.s exchange was connected to the Moscow-Kiev under-
ground line. The cable also ran along Lesi TJkrais.kl near the former
No. 1 power station, where it was exposed to induction from the power
line, frequently putting it completely out of action. The importance
of this cable may be inferred from the fact that each time it went out
of action., experts came from Moscow by special plane to repair it.
In 1954 or 1955, when plans were made in Kiev and Kharkov for recon-
struction of the town's electric network, the ways and means of - -
surmounting the difficulties caused by induction from power lines
were also considered but, up to 1958, the general plan was executed
only in part and nothing whatsoever was done with regard to this
specific cable.
4. The following military information on Chernovtsy and vicinity is reported:
a. About 100 meters to the right of the road from 0-hernovtsy to
Storozhinets, there was an area, about 500 by 500 meters in size
and enclosed by several barbed-wire fences, which contained a
network of lightning rods, probably for ammunition and
explosive depots. Numerous elongated wooden barracks could
be seen in the area.
b. At least three generals lived in villas located in the vicinity
of the city park. One of the generals served as commander of the
infantry officers' school on ulitsa Sadova, where the Rumanian
Liceul Militar had been located.
c. Large military concentrations were reported in the vicinity of
Storozhinets L-" 48-10, E 25-4J.
d. A large jet airfield and an important concentration of air force
units were located in Luzhany LN 48-22, E 25-477.
e. A military airfield for piston aircraft training was located at
the end of the Chernovtsy civilian. airfield. No details on the
military field were available.
6. A legend and two overlays of Chernovtsy are on. pages 3 to U.
One overlay is of the entire town and the other is an enlargement of
the first overlay's central town area.
factory produced unidentified parts for artillery pieces, tanks,
katyusha rocket launchers, and other weapons.
2. The following streets mentioned throughout the text are probably the
same streets: Bethovena-Betoven, Olgi Kobylanskoy-Kobylansk
Zankovetskoy-Zankovetskaya.

USSR (Ukrainian SSR)
Miscellaneous Information on Chernovtsy
1. In 1958 Chernovtsy LN 48-18, E 25-5Q had approximately
162,000 inhabitants, an increase of about 60,000 since World War II.
Although it was a Ukrainian town, the Russian language was used
everywhere with the exception of the university and the theatre.
2. The town was divided into the following three administrative
rayons:
a. Shevchenkovskiy rayon, which comprised the whole lower
part of town, including the Zhuchka suburb across the Prut River.
In this rayon were located the railroad station, the city power
station, and the new machine works which was under construction.

b. Leninskiy rayon, which comprised the uptown area,
including Strozhinetska Street, Prospekt Staling (formerly
Stefan Cel Mare Street), the city park, and a section of the
center of the town including Universitet Street and part of
Lenin Street.
c. Stalinskiy rayon, the central area of town. It included
Kobylanska. (formerly Iancu Flonder), the main street, and part
of Lenin Street. The line dividing the three administrative
rayons of the town ran through the heart of the city, i.e.,
the Central Sqaure (Tsentralnaya Ploshchad, the former Piata
Unirei).
3. One of Chernovtsy's main industries was textiles. The eight
prewar textile factories had been merged into the Chernovitskiy
Textile Combine (Chernovitskiy Tekstilniy Kombinat), employing a
total of nearly 3,000 workers. The largest among these factories was
a cotton spinning mill (Khlopko-Pryadilna Fabrika No. 9). It had
been greatly enlarged and all its equipment and machinery replaced
after the war. This factory was situated at the end of town, on the
road to the civilian airfield, on the site of a prewar flour mill.
The factory had its own transformer station. (No ddails were avail-
able on the other factories comprising the combine.)

4. Chernovtsy also had an important hosiery industry. All the
town's hosiery factories had been subordinate to a Ukrainian Ministry
until 1956, when they transferred to the Stanislav Sovnarkhoz, which
controlled the oblasts of Stanislav, Ternopol, and Chernovtsy. Among
the hosiery factories in Chernovtsy were the following:
a. Chulochna Fabrika No. 3 (formerly Herkules), located on
Sevastopol Street (formerly Calugareni), near the railroad sta-
tion. This factory, which had been destroyed during the war, was
subsequently rebuilt and enlarged, and it has been under constant
expansion since. Before the war its production had included
several types of hosiery, but in 1958 it manufactured only "kapron",
a synthetic silk fiber. The thefts in the factory have become
a byword in town. In 1950 or 1951, the factory's entire managerial
staff, including the director-general, were arrested and sentenced
to 20-25 years each. The trial, which was held in Chernovtsy,
was open to the public and the results were published in the
local paper Ryadanska-Bukovina.
b. Chulochna Fabrika No. 5, located directly across the street
from the railroad station, in an old three(?)-story building. Most
of its machinery was renewed after the war.

c. Trikotazhna Fabrika No. 1 (formerly Trinaco). A large,
prewar concern, it was greatly expanded after the war; new
buildings were constructed and large quantities of new machinery
installed. It used mainly artificial silk thread of Soviet and
Italian make. Most of its produce was sent to Moscow, Leningrad,
Kiev, and other cities, and some of it was intended for export.
Therefore, only a negligible quantity was left for sale in the
town, as was also the case with the produce of No. 3 hosiery
factory.
d. Trikotazhna Fabrika No. 2, located about 100 m from the
prison. A prewar factory, it comprised one old building, one
large industrial building of postwar construction, and several
large apartment houses for its workers, also built after the waz'..?.
near the thermal power station. No details were availble on this
factory, except that it had been enlarged since the war and that in
1958 it was part of a combine called Rezinoobuvniy Kombinat. The
latter also included a leather shoe factory located on Kotovsky
Street which had an additional entrance from 4 Ruskaya Street.
1 The Zhuchka suburb was also considered an industrial area.
The main plants located there were the prewar sugar refinery, which
had been re-named Zakharniy Kombinat Zhuchka since the war but which
had undergone no expansion since then; and a large, prewar distillery
called Spirt Zavod Pervinets Bukovinskiy, which had been equipped with
new tanks. part of the 50X1-HUM
alcohol was sent to synthetic rubber plants in Penza.
'The town's only power station was the prewar thermal power
station on Prut Street, Gorodskaya Elektrostantsia (formerly Uzina
Electrica No. 2), which was fueled by crushed coal. It was formerly

a small station consisting of one building with two 3,100 hW and
1,700 KW Brown-Bovery generators, and three 300 KW diesel generators.
Its expansion was started in 1950 and included a new boiler house,
a distribution structure and an additional generator room. During
1956-1958, one new 8,000 KW generator, a 3,000 KW generator, and a
third generator of unknown capacity were put into operation. By
1958 the station's total output was about 20,000 KiiI. This was
insufficient for the needs of the town and its industry, despite the
fact that some industrial plants had their own anall power stations.
In early 1958 plans were started for further expansion of the station,
up to 36,000 10,-1 by 1961-1962. While these plans were being formulated,
it became clear that 36,000 KW would not meet requirements and there
was talk of either further enlarging this station or of building an
additional one in the vicinity of the sugar refinery in Zhuchka or
near the central water pumping station located in the Magala quarter
on the banks of the Prut River, on the road to Novoselitsa.
S Before the war there had been a second power station in town,
called Uzina Electrica No. 1, located on U1. Lesi Ukrainki, near the
prison. This station, which supplied power to the trolleys and trolley

buses, had only diesel engines, and when the Rumanians retreated in
1954, they took the diesel engines with them. The site was taken
over by a rectifier station serving the city's trolleys and trolley
buses, for which purpose it used old German generators. Erection
of a large transformer station and a large mercury rectifier was
started on the grounds of this station in 1957. Following the plans
for increasing the town's network of trolleys and trolley buses,
construction of an additional transformer and rectifier station was
First, the central pumping station in the Nagala area, on the banks
of the Prut, on the road to Novoselitsa, was enlarged. All the old
pumps were replaced, about 20 new underground filtration wells were
constructed, and a metal water main, over 400 mm in diameter and three
km long, was laid from the main pumping station to a. secondary pump-
ing station on Novoseletska Street. In 1958 the main pumping station

called, among other things, for the construction of an additional
pumping station on the small island between the railroad and road
bridges over the Prut River. Its construction was started in 1957
and by 1958 a pipeline had been laid from it, via Tsentralna Ploshchad
to the vicinity of the Oblast MVD on Lenin Street. This line was to
be extended up to the water tower, which was located at the highest
point in town (262 m above sea level) on Chapayev Street, near the
city park. The plans also called for the building of a larger water
tower.
The sewer system in Chernovtsy has not been changed since
prewar days. It did not cover the entire town, only some downtown
quarters, the town center, and part of the uptown section up to
Storozhinetska Street.
0. In"1957 the laying of a gas network in Chernovtsy was
started. In 1958 the network was partly completed in the town proper
and numerous houses were connected to it, but the central gas main
from Kosov (formerly Poland, where large gas field were discovered
after the war) to Chernovtsy had not even been laid, owing to the
lack of pipes. Despite this, there were rumors that the town would
have gas by the end of 1958. The compressor station for the city
gas network was to be erected between the Prut River and the
machine works.
