Miscellaneous Information on Uzhgorod
1. Uzhgorod LN L8-38, E 22-127, the principal city in the
Zakarpatskaya Oblast, had a population of 80,000-90,000, two-thirds
of whom were Carpatho-Russians and the remainder national minorities
consisting mainly of Hungarians. Uzhgorod was an important center
of the timber industry and had many furniture factories. There were
also a shoe factory and several small food plants in the town.
2. The Uzh River divided the town into two parts which were
connected by a vehicle bridge and a pedestrians bridge. The vehicle

bridge, which had been destroyed during the war, was rebuilt in
1919-1950. It was 100-120 meters long, 12-15 meters wide, had a
clearance of 8-10 meters, and was constructed of reinforced concrete,
paved with basalt stone blocks. The pedestrians bridge, about 100
meters long and I-5 meters wide, was constructed of wood and had a
number of concrete supports. In addition to the above, there was
also a railroad bridge, which was made of steel with reinforced
concrete foundations.

the first floor comprising a waiting room, a cafeteria, the railroad
police station and booking offices, and the second floor comprising
the railroad offices and a special waiting room for women with small
children. Rail traffic was not heavy as the town was situated some
distance from the main line leading through Nukachevo to Chop, the
latter being the main border station for Rumania, Hungary, and Czecho-
slovakia. The only long distance trains ran to Lvov and Kiev, but
there were a number of local trains connecting Uzhgorod with other
towns in the oblast.

and asphalt surfaces. Because of these excellent roads, buses were
the most important means of public transportation. There was a regular
bus service between Uzhgorod and other towns in the oblast, such as
lIlukachevo, Rakhovo, Beregovo and Khust.

railroad station. The water supply was regular and part of the
town had a piping system which was introduced under Czech rule.
Drinking water was also provided by wells which still existed in
the courtyards of the houses. The town sewage system ran into
the Uzh, thus polluting the river water.
b. There was no central gas supply and bottled gas had to be
brought from Stryy. Wood, which was plentiful, was the most
widely used fuel for heating purposes.

c. The municipal power station supplied 220 V current at
a rate generally sufficient for ordinary lighting, but which was
frequently cut during the winter when the output did not meet
the extra demand. The electricity was cut in various quarters
of the town alternately to ensure the required amounts for the
workshops and light industries.

no television station was to be
established in the town because the mountains which surrounded
the town would interfere with reception.

plots of land in the town's suburbs to citizens who were interested

on their own, using clay bricks mainly.

small plots in the town and surrounding area sold vegetables, fruit, and
dairy products durinf; the summer months; and a "New lI rket" for the
sale of kolkhoz produce, especially fruit, flour, groats, potatoes, and
meat. Until 1957, flour was obtainable only from the kolkhoz market, as
it was not sold in the shops.
