In August 1950, a number of technical'-and administrative employees, as
well as a considerable number of workers, were dismissed at the Molotov Radio
Plat in Minsk. Most all of those affected were persons who bad not held
'Soviet nationality prior to 1939. At the same time the plant was comverted*
into a secret one, and the main production effort was switched over to
secret appliances, apparently military radio equipment, while the radio sets
became accessory production items (no details on the new products or as
to whether the plant bore a designation number).

story structure, with d.n interior yard.
2. Until 1950s the Radio Zavod IIani Molotov, produced popular-
priced radio sets only, namely the Pioner, Minsk, and Belorus.
In August 1950, a number of technical and administrative
employees, as well as a considerable member of workers, were
dismissed; almost all of those affected were persons who
had not held Soviet nationality prior to 1939. At the ssnma
tine, the plant was converted into a secret one, and the mama
production effort was switched over to secret appliances,
apparently military radio equip-t, while the radio sets
became accessory production items (no details on the new
products or as to whether the plant bore a designation mnnber).
The plant had five or six sections, including a mechanical
shop, an assembly shop, a carpentry shop, and a galvanizing
section. The total staff was about 1,500, mostly men,
including about 100 engineers and technicians. Pxaept for
the mechanical shop, the plant operated in one shift. The
mechanical shop worked in two shifts.
