Communist party of the USSR made a decision to build country houses the same way as they built in cities. They would have the same utilities (water, sour, gas, paved roads, etc.) like city houses have. The plan was to build about 400 experimental villages around the USSR. My goal was to visit these construction sites and to prepare a report for the Soviet Ministry department about the construction progress. During these trips (1969-1973y) I collected a fair number of pins from all over the USSR.All pins in single quantity Pechora is a town in the Komi Republic, located on the Pechora River, Magnitogorsk (magnetic mountain') It was founded in 1929 to exploit the rich magnetite iron ore of Mt. Magnitnaya.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, monks developed the island as a center of industry and trade. After the Bolsheviks took power in Russia in 1917, they closed the monastery in 1921. In 1923, the Solovki monastery began a life as the Solovetsky Concentration Camp of Special Designation, The Solovki camp became, in the words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the mother of the GULAG, the Soviet system of brutal concentration and labor camps in which the opponents of the new regime were isolated and suppressed. Only rough estimates are available of the number prisoners who went through Solovki during its years of operation, 1923 to 1939. The estimates range from tens to hundreds of thousands. The conditions were more than harsh: forced hard labor, little food, in the summer - chained to stakes in ground while prey to summer mosquitoes, in the winter - drenched with water while standing in the bitter cold to freeze to death. There are steep stairs leading to the sea. It was made from sleepers, but is now it is new, made by Swedish. They tied a sleeper to the prisoner's back by the armrests and pushed him down. The doctor later wrote “Fell due to carelessness” The head of the camp said: “I need new prisoners for the first 6 months, but I don’t need доходяга.” This is a nickname for a prisoner who is on the verge of death, looks more like a skeleton than a person. 1976 y. Lucy (my wife) and I traveled in Scandinavia. And... “Let’s go to Solovki,” advised Lucy. From Finland, Salla, we crossed the border with the USSR. Bus to Kandalaksha and Belomorsk. We need to stay at a hotel and sail to Solovki at 8 am. The price for the hotel is very reasonable, but when the receptionist looks at our passports, she increases the price by 3 times. “Wow, you are foreigners! " I offered her cash without registering. Naturally, she took the money. Boat to Solovki. It was an amazing sight - domes rising from the sea. (pin was bought there). Moscow.

I approached a place where a dredge fed gravel to the top. Wow, it looks like the same as my concrete plant, which I built in Karaganda. The scraper can’t pick up gravel by itself. Even though the bucket was twice as big as mine, there was no benefit from extra weight. Life here was busy. Several women, using shovels, threw gravel into the bucket. Their young faces were covered with sweat. Dull tenacity. In their eyes, turned to me, I saw some kind of question. The bucket filled up with gravel crawled to the top, and in its place came down an empty one. “Technology here is more sophisticated than in my place”, I thought. “We had only one bucket, but here are two”. A small chubby faced gal looked at me with intense persistency. Her slender figure was seen under a coarse quilted coat. Trampled boots covered her feet. She was hot. With the end of the dark towel, used to cover her head instead of a headscarf, she kept wiping her sweaty face. Seizing the moment, when one bucket was full, but the button had not yet been pressed to go up, she approached me. “Comrade engineer, are you from Moscow?” she asked me. “Yes, I am from Moscow”, I replied. “So, please explain to us, illiterate people, why we send two girls to Moscow twice a month, so that they could buy cold cuts, sausages, cheeses for everyone in your Eliseevskyi store, and if you are lucky, even chicken and meat?” I did not know how to react to this question and mumbled something in response. At that moment, all the other girls surrounded me and interrupting each other, shouted that there was nothing to eat here, and even tomato must be brought from Moscow. “Of cause, you, Muscovite, must have everything, and what about us? Nothing? Oh, yes, sometimes bloody sausage showed up in a store, and then there are lines for two hours to get some. Our salary is 1000 rubles, so we must raise money to send someone to Moscow. They must spend almost two days in transit, but what can we do? We want to take a bite of cold cuts too, at least once a month.” they shouted. I was trying to say something in response, to assure them that these questions are useless to address to me. But nobody wanted to hear that, and they continued to shout at me, interrupting each other. Suddenly one of the women, probably the oldest one, stopped their shout. “Ok, enough about gluttony. We are not dying from starvation”, she said. “Do you know, Mr. Engineer from Moscow, that my husband had to get up at 2 AM to get in line in the hospital, so I could see a doctor in the morning, pardon me, “women’s stuff”, she added. All the others joined this conversation. And I had, and I had…. “We wrote a letter to Tereshkova (1st woman cosmonaut). She replied in a month later saying that they figure it out, fix it… And that was it. You can, of cause, skip the line if you grease the palm. And where to get this grease? We live from paycheck to paycheck. And do you think it is easy to wonder from line to line in Moscow carrying 20 kg bags in each hand? And then drag it to the Metro. You probably derive a car, instead.” The head of the concrete plant came to the rescue. Bulky man shouted: “Hey women, stop this bazaar, there is an empty gravel bucket calls for you, and this engineer is as hard-working person as you all are. Is he a food distributer for the country?” He took me aside and we went to his office. I wiped a cold sweat from my forehead. “Oh Boy, I really got into trouble with these women”, I thought. 16.
