of the population of the city is female.
2. The second largest enterprise is the plant "Karbolit" which is located
outside of the city and which manufactures nastio articles.
3. The remaining plants, which are much smaller, are: the Zavod im.

of other nationalities comprise only an insIgnificant number. any Tatars seem
to engage in blank marketeering, since there are quite a few of them at the market.
No national differences between Russians vulTatars were noticeable. There were
no prison camps in the city.
9. Orekhovo-Zuyevo gives the impression of being a rather clean city. In the
center of the city the streets are swept daily.
10. After World War II, especially since 1950, many new throe and fourastory
stone apartment buildings have been constructed on the edges of the city. This is
especially noticeable in Zuyevo, the part of the city on the left bank of the River
Klyazema. The part on the right bank, opposite Zuyevo, is called Orekhovo. In
addition, many residential buildings have been built and are beim.; constructed in
Krutovskiy rayon, located on the northeast edge of the city on the right bank of
the river. In Krutovskiy rayon, the continuation of ul. Kirova stretches up to
the forest itself.
11. Early in the 1950's, the highway which connects Orekhovo-Zuyevo with the
MoseoanGorkiy Highway was paved with asphalt; the Moscow4-Corkiy Highway passes about
six kilometers north of Orekhovo-Zuyevo. Up to this time, the road was paved with
cobblestones.
12. The majority of the streets are paved with cobblestones; the streets are
asphalted only in the center of the town. There are no dirt streets.
13. Janitors (dvorniki) are responsible for cleaning the steeets; each cleans
the street in the vicinity of his own building. For the most part, the janitors are
women. In winter, snow is shoveled into piles, which are then caeried away by
trucks of the eitydepartment of ocmmunal economy. The snow is loaded by hand.
Source saw snow plows in the city only a couple of times. In hot weather the
asphalt streets in the center of the town are watered by tank trucks. There are
receptacles for papor and other- trach only on the central streets and here many
people gather, such as near large stores and movie theaters.
14. Most of the vehieles on the streets are trucks; there are very few
automobiles. The traffic is light compared with a Western city. There are many
bicycles but very few motorcycles.
15. The workers of the cotton cloth combine live in various parts of the
city. The workers at ''Karbolitn live mainly in the workers' settlement near the
plant, outside the city. 50X1 -HUM
16. hUhe name of the street is given on every
building fn the center of a circular in sign, about 20 centimeters in diameter,
the number of a building is painted; the name of the street is given in a semi-
circle below the building number. The numbers and street names are painted in
black figures and letters on a yellow background. 50X1 -HUM
17. 50X1 -HUM
Kirova, when one faces in the direction of the increasing numbers, the nneeee
numbers are on the left side and the even numbers an the right side of street. As
a rule, when one moves in the direction of increasing numbers, he goes away from
the center of the city.
50X1 -HUM
18. All street names were in the Russian language only. Even in the suburb
celled Ipvaga Etroisan where Tatars live, the street names are in Russian only.
The same is true of advertising signs, street signs, posters, etc.
Maintenance of Public Order
19. In the center of town, ohiefly on ul. Lenina, militia patrols stroll
along the streets in the evenings, usually in pairs. Their uniform consists of a
dark blue double breasted jacket with stand-up (callkhny) collar, dark blue riding
breeches, boots, and service cap. The epaulets of enlisted men and sergeants are

Labor Force and Wages
20. ? There is no l'aboshortage in the city of Orekhovo-Zuyevo; there is even
some unemployment, especially among the graduates of tenr-year or seven-year schools.
It is very difficult to gain admittance into higher educational institutions
because of the insufficient number of openings and the resultant competition. Many .
attempt to get jobs as apprentices at factories, but there are not enough apprentice-
ships available for all who wish them. It is also rather difficult to obtain a, job *,
as a skilled worker, since there are usually no openings. There is no difficulty ,
in obtaining a job as an unskilled.laborer...

Markets, Stores, and Prices
Page tour
26." There are three markets in the city, which are opened daily. At the so-called
"Central Market" foodstuffs and used goods are sold. There are also estate stalls
at this market selling consumer goods (dishes, manufactured articles, footwear, etc.).
Only foodstuffs are sold at' the two other markets. The Central Market is open
from early morning until /000 or 1100 hours, since by that time, everthing is usually
sold. Most of the products sold at the markets are brought by kolkhozniki from '
neighboring kolkhozy. In the' fall, fruits are. sold from more distant places, e.g.,
from the Ukraine and the Caucasus. The kolkhozniki usually arrive in trucks and,
only rarely, on horseback or in horse-drawn carts. Source did not know where the
kolkhozniki obtained their trucks. In order to obtain the right to sell goods at
the market, one must .buy a "place" Onest9). A "place"costs three or five rubles,
source did not remember which. One must buy a chit (talon) for this amount from
a controller. There are no standard prices at the market; they are determined by
sunnlv and demand
the following prices in the summer of 1955:
Pork 28-29 rubles per kg.
Beef 24-25 rubles per kg.
Butter 28 rubles per kg.
Milk 5 rubles per liter
Eggs 12-13 rubles for 10
Potatoes 1 ruble for kg.
50X1 -HUM
27. Prices at the markets are higher than the state prices, but items are not
always available in the state stores. In the milk stores, "for instance, there
are always long lines, and milk is available only early in the morning and is
rapidly sold out. The meat stalls are frequently without anything for sale but,
something is available, .'there is a choice of only one or two items and there is
also a line. Butter is .available in the stores only intermittently and eggs almost
never. The following items can be bought at any time in the stores: bread, groats,
macaroni, expensive types of candy; canned fish and canned meat. The canned goods
are in stock because they are expensive and few can afford them.
28. Stores in the city open at various times. Bread stores, for instance, open at
0700 or 0800 hours, food stores, source believed, at 0900 hours, and those selling
manufactured goods, at 1000 hours. The stores close at 2200 hours. There are so-
called "duty" (elaaWorvz) stores which are open until midnight. All stores are
open on Sunday. Source did not know but thought that stores are open part of the
day on holidays.
29. Woolen material, imoolen suits and lairts of good quality were also available
In stores only rarely. Black marketeers took advantage of this by selling such
goods at the market 'ilnder the table, but of course at a triple price.
30. There was no shortage of radio receivers*, television sets, bicycles, vacuum
cleaners, and other expensive goods. Of these goods, source remembers the following
prices:
Bicycle, model ZIS 560 rubles
Bicycle, model "TUrist" (semi-racing) OOOOOOO Boo rubles
The "Turist" model is manufactured
by the Kharkov Bicycle Plant (KHVZ)
Television set with a small screen
(Approximately 12 by 20 centimeters)
Television set "Temp" with larger screen
(Only one television program, from
Moscow, is broadcast)

If it was their aah home, of which theTe were only a few in the town, or if they
lived on the outskirts, the garden was next tothe house. Other people had their
garzSans in various planes around the tcwn. Source did not know where residents
obtained garden plots famil:y had a plot outside of ton, consisting
of about 100 square meters. Here they planted potatoes and tomatoes. They 50X1-HUM
harvested five sacks of potatoes (50 kg, per sack) and carried them home on a
handcart. Those who had more potatoes or who load farther :to go tried to rent a
truck with another party.. Source did not know how this is done. Apparently,
truck drivers earned a little extra mcney on the side by carrying private goods on
a state trucks. 50X1-HUM
39. The rent for the room wns 35 rubles per month. Electricity was extra.
The rent and the electricity bill had to be paid every month. The fee for the

per year (or for' six months., &Neve does not remember exactly ); source did not
remember what the television fee was. The,IpipApray or (they (they were one
