1. An Atomic /esearch institute is allegedly located in :Occow?
0erebrany Dor. (1)
2. A cupply depot in the area was called :.;klad :erelrany l'or and
distribution center for material of every description. Puildint
material, electric gear, motor vehicles, motors and all kinds
engines were nicked up there. a large ?art of the equipment was
of :roman origin. (2) building of the K2P, a building trust, was
southwest of the area of the institute. (3)
3. it was generally believed that there were
terranean install tions in the area east of the institute.
aa passenger cars disappear in a cinch
sloping road-- in the area which was coVered with brushwood. jormally
the passengers of these cars were raaking officers, chiefly of the
air force. Three or four workmen wearing overalls wore permanently
stationed on the premises. (4)
4. Trucks carrying building materials and many modern passenger cars
were seen in the area. On the railroad track running toward what
was believed to be an administration building up to six railroad
cars arrived at fairly regular intervals. The sentry there checked
them for undamaged lead seals and the locking levers were secured
with barbed wire.

commissions of the Llinistry of the Interior
visited the institute. 3aslavski or Gorbachev (fnu) was head of
building trust 3. Kuplanovski *(fnu) was head of the VP. About
100 laborer a? garovtally only nonviDs6 ?ore employed in the northern
boiler house. ::.omo amines were also observed there. In the
boiler house to the south work was done in three shifts, each with 15
to 20 .;oviet workers. Only a very small: number of free ',.;oviet workers
were employed at the filling station (?). In the laboratory work was
done in one shift by 200 to 300 convicts. About 150 well?clad civilians,
two?thirds of whom mere women, arrived at the institute about 7:30 a.nos
some of them going to the administration (?) building. (5)

6. The buildings were guarded by MVD and civilian personnel,
What was believed to be the entrance to an underground plant
was guarded by officers and. surrounded by presumably an
elecixically charged fence. The entire area was also protected
by high wire fences and partially isolated by a second "outer
ring" (wire fence) quite far from the buildings.
7.
there wae a subterranean chemical factory
near the area of the institute not far from Camp 7435/70 Five
hua(Lj'ed German engineers lived between this plant and the central
airport, presumably in the Sokol settlement. They were not employed
in mid-1949. (6)
Comments.
TH5?na7uroose of the plant was not clarified but it appears that
there are three installetions independent of each other. For location
_
and layoutl
From wartime documents it is known that a large sueply depot was in
Serebrany- Dor which seems to be the dot which is described in the
present report.
Other sources who previously made statements on this plant also
emphasized that there is an urderground ihstalletion in this area
since passenger cars used to diseppear 0
As the passengers of these cars were reportedly high?ranking
officers, especially air force officers, it is believed that this
installation is an underground command post of the kind the Sovieter
found in Zonsen or ;411dpark.
(5) From the reported work force it is assumed that this is a develop?
ment plant rather than a manufacturing one.
(6) It does not seem credible that as many as 500 qerman engineers were
supported by the Soviets in 1949 without being employed in some wayo
