THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
1. In 19429 there were three electrical power stations supplying Kharkov
with electrical energy. These were.-
a. Eskhar (Elektricheskaya Stantsyya Kharkov)
b. Teplozentral'
0. A small re1.serve station
Eskhar was constructed in approximately 1934, 30 miles south of
Kharkov on the. 'ver Sever'nyy Donets. This station was equipped
with two 25,00?. kkva turbogenerator units. These turbo-generators
utilize coal., which was supplied from Donbas (Donets Basin). The
electrical energy from Eskhar was carried to the city of Kharkov
via a high voltage tran.ssion line of approximately 60 kv. This
transmission line was connected to the "reserve station'", which was
located on the west side of the Kharkov River one block south of
Stalinskaya Ulitsa (formerly known as Moskovskaya Ulitsa). It was a
very old station., having been built during Czarist times, and had only
t o turbo-generators of one thousand kva each. Stalinskaya Ulitsa
tree,&/ east of the bridge which was constructed in 1938 and carries
traffic ver the railroad tracks, was called Stalinskoye Shosse
highway . Most of the industrial plants in Kharkov were located along
this shosse,, in the southeastern part of the city. 55ee Enclosures(A) and (B)7

Elektromekhanicheskiy Zavod) and the. Stalinskoye Shosse. This ower

this i mediate areas The steam from this electrical power station was
piped to nearby factories and homes for heating purposes. One
separate pipe was laid to heat the nNew Opera House's, which is
E ,add approximately one kilometer west of the industrial area.,ee Enclosures
3. In 1937.,-two cast iron pipes (about two feet in diameter) were laid
underground along the north side of Stalinskoye Shosse between the
New Opera House and KhN4Z. These pipes were laid t car water from
Severruy Donets River for the city t of Kharkov, I 25X1
Natural gas was very scarce in Kharkov. Only a few blocks near KhETI
(Kharkovskiy El ektrotekhnicheekiy Institut were u lied with a
from storage tanks in that vicinity.
Most homes in Kharkov were heated
4. Kharkov is located on the main railway line which connects industrial
Donbas with Moscow and Leningrad. In addition to this.most passenger
trains from Leningrad and Moscow to the Crimea and Caine also pass
through Kh ?kov. Consequently the rail facilities in kov were
always overloaded. The traffic on the north-south tracks was especially
heavy., with no possibility of alleviating the condition because the
existing, tracks are .squeezed in between Kholodnaya Gora on the west and
the main large buildings of Kharkov on the east (one of which was the
large railroad office building,, just south of the railroad station).
The main passenger station in Kharkov is located on the east side of
the river Lopen. The easternmost two tracks at this station are used
for loading and unloading cargo and baggage. Most heavy. industrial
Cargo arriving in Kharkov in 1942 was handled at the Balashovskiy
Vokzal, whi h was ais- used as a passenger station for the local
transportation of workmen. At times., when all of the railroad facilities
in Kharkov. itself were tied up, freight destined for that city was
unloaded at either the big mdepo' and railroad workshops in Osnova, or
at SeverW Post. In addition to the aforementioned railroad stations
in and arolmd Kharkov., there was one more. This one was called Yuzhnyy
Vokzal, It, was an old., small station which was used for local
passenger transportation and light freight destined for the central
portion of the city:. See Enclosure (A

of the industrial area. Prior to World War II, there were only three
small factories in this district. They were:
a. Gelferi Sade (presently known as i"Serp i Moloty Sell"sko-?
Khozya stvenniy Zavod), which was at least four times smaller than
now 195,/. .
b. llUkraynalt Zavod Velosipedov, which was three times smaller than now.
c. KhPZ (Kbarkovskiy Paravozetroitel?niy Zavod)., which was. five to six
times -smaller than now.
These three factories were served by the Balashovskiy Vokzal. In 1915,
when the German Army was approaching Riga (in the direction of St.
Petersburg) a factory manufacturing electrical equipment, known as VEK,
was transferred to Kharkv and built just east of KhPZ. Later this,
factory was enlarged and named Kh 4Z. The red area on the subject
