in 1953 the installation of two new furnaces was begun outside the plant grounds.
This area was northwest of the plant and was called the "new part."
8. In the beginning of 1956 the plant received eight blocks of a special
metal which, it was rumored, was very hard. The blocks were cylindrical, were
about 80 on. long sad about 30 om. in diameter. It was intended to roll thence

since the metal cooled immediately and broke the rollers of the machine. The
plant director and various plant chiefs were present at this test. It wge

of the machine would have to be exchanged for others made of a harder metal.

Another test was made two months after the first one, and the results were the
same. The same rollers were used in the second test as in the first.
Each block of this metal weighed about 60 kilos.

Plant Identification and Location
1. The Iyubertsy agricultural. machinery building plant, not known by any
other name, with an unknown numerical designation during WW II was
subordinate to the Ministry of Agricultural, although two shops were
controlled by personnel of the Ministry of Military Industry.
2. The plant was in Iyubertsy rayon, Moscow oblast to the left'of the
Ryazan highway and to the right of the Ryazan railroad line. It was
approximately nine kilometers from the railroad
junction in the vicinity of the Chukhlinka railroad station, Perovo
quarter. See attachment No. I.
Plant Description
3. It occupied a fairly extensive fenced in area to the southwest
50X1-HUM

machinery had been replaced by modern Soviet-make machines. After
World War II, the production of agricultural machinery was resumed,.
although two secret shops remained engaged in military production

was located in
50X1-HUM
the village of YAUZA, which has now become part of the city of Moscow. It is
located some 300 meters to the West of the Moscow-Murmansk rail line; and to the
West (?) and some 1,000 meters from the Central Anti-tuberculosis Institute of
the Academy of Sciencies of the USSR. This factory was installed on a cleared,
and flat area of the forest and there were few buildings in the vicinity. The
eastern side, which was closer to the aforementioned rail line, was surrounded by
50X 1
a a barbed wire fence.
this factory must have been built approximately around
1950 but few people knew of its existence. It consisted of a small building
which made up the frontage, located close to the fence, and where the personnel
section or something similar was housed. Farther back, another building could
be seen which was of a height equivalent to six floors, although in reality
50X1-HUM
the surface of this building
was in the shape of a trapezoid, measuring approximately 60 x 20 meters. Behind
this building there were at least two other buildings, although they could not
be seen very well. A railway track entered the installation from a nearby rail-

test session, all the patients interned at the Anti-tuberculosis :anatorium
were disturbed in their sleep. In August of 1956, all the patients from this

they said that extensive repairs had to be made) was perhaps because of its
proximity to the factory or experimental center (No. 5 on the attached overlay),
which would in effect constitute a disturbance to the sanatorium center.

carried on at this Institute. One of these personalities was BOGUSHHIfEV
