Industrial, Military, and Miscellaneous
Information on Minsk and its Vicinity
General
1. Minsk, capital of the Belorussian SSR, had been completely
rehabilitated after the destruction of World War II through the
extensive construction of both residential and public buildings.
Bricks were used exclusively in the construction and the buildings
were generally six or seven stories high. In recent years, apart-
ments have been built as self-contained units, i.e., each apartment
had its own kitchen and sanitary facilities, thus removing one of

the principal causes of disputes between tenants. The construction
of an air raid shelter for every residential building was obligatory.
The shelter was generally built beneath the building which it served,
at a depcth of one or two meters below ground level. It had two
entrances and one emergency exit which consisted of a concrete tunnel
1.5 meters high and 1.5 times as long as the height of the building
which the shelter served; it was meant to be used in case of a direct
hit on the building.
2. In recent years there have been no general air raid drills
in Minsk which have involved the entire population. The only civil
defense exercises held were those of the MPVO (Miestnaya Protivoz-
dushneya Oborona) crews, which were recruited from among the workers
in various industrial plants and institutions according to the
municipal rayons.
3. The inhabitants of Minsk frequently visited theatres and
movie houses. Seats in both cases had to be reserved beforehand
and the tickets, available only at the box office, had to be purchased
before the performance. The ushers were very poorly paid and were
glad of any tips offered. They augmented their income by admitting
people who did not have tickets and, for an additional consideration,

they would find them seats. All theatres and movie houses had
emergency exits which were marked with red lights.
4. Minsk had both cafeterias which served sandwiches and
cold lunches and restaurants which served full cooked meals. Both
served alcoholic beverages. These places served as social centers
for all strata of the population who felt inclined to eat together
or have a friendly drink. The conversation on such occasions con-
sisted of the usual small talk, gossip and sports news, but never
included public or political matters. The custom of checking
identity cards in public places had been discontinued, but apparently
each restaurant had a waiter or waitress who collaborated with the
security services and reported on the behavior of persons in whom
these services were interested.
5. 1 marked improvement in both the styles and the quality of
clothing was noticeable throughout Minsk, particularly among the
white collar workers. The khaki shirts and trousers were disappear-
ing and more and more suits were seen, although they were made with
the Russian-style wide trousers; the feodora was displacing the
peaked cap. These changes were evident even among the proletariat,

who had begun wearing suits after work. The clothing was not of
high quality and since good materials were scarce, cottons were
used milnly. Ration coupons were no longer necessary for clothing
and footwear.
6. The summer homes of many Belorussian political leaders,
such as ministers and top Party officials, were located in the
vicinity of Gorodishchi CGorodishche ?, N 53-50, E 27-207. The
exact locations were not known.
Industrial Information
7. A watch factory (Shasovoy Zavod), constructed in the period
1956-1958, was located at the end of Prospekt Staling in the direc-
tion of Smolensk. The plant began operations in 1958, but by the
end of that year none of its products had yet appeared on the market.
According to rumor, the plant also produced miniature watches, which
were called "buttons" by the local population. The plant area was
surrounded by a brick wall 2.5-3 meters high. Within there were
eight four- or five-story buildings made of silicate bricks. No
further details were available.
8. A top secret plant, built in recent years, was located
250-500 meters beyond the watch factory, occuping a very large area

number was not known, faced the Minsk-Smolensk highway but was
hidden by a high brick wall.
it belonged to the aircraft industry. The plant began
to work at full capacity in 1958. It was known that the plant
contained a casting department and that roofs of the buildings
within the compound were vaulted. All applicants for employment
at the plant underwent a very stringent security check before being
accepted. No further details were available.
9. The former Molotov Radio Plant, located at the crossroads
known as "Komarovskoye Koltso", had been called the Lenin Radio Plant
(Radiozavod Imeni Lenina) since 1957. This also was a numbered plant
(Numernoy Zavod), but its number was not known. Details on the
production of this plant were lacking, but according to rumor, it
produced radios which were enclosed in metal boxes and which were
destined for military use only.
10. There was another radio plant in Minsk called the Kalinin
Radio Plant (Radiozavod Imeni Kalinina). It produced television sets,
one type of which was called Byelorus-3, and radio receivers, one
type of which was called R-7. No further details were known on this
plant.

U. In 1956 construction was began on a ball bearing plant
(Sharikopodshipnikovy Zavod) located on Dolgobrodskaya in the
eastern part of the city. It began partial production in early
1958, but further details were lacking.
12. In recent years a plant for the manufacture of spare parts
for tractors has been under construction on the eastern part of
Dolgobrodskaya Street. This plant, a branch of the tractor factory
also located in Minsk, had not yet started production in 1958.
13. According to rumor, a plant for the manufacture of precision
instruments (Zavod Tochnikh Mashin) was being constructed near the
Komarovskiy Bazar. No details were available.
]1&. A plant for the spinning of fine threads (Tonko-Priadilniy
Kcnbinat) was located in the southeastern part of the city near the
railroad freight station. The plant began production in 1958, but
shortly after its opening the roof collapsed, killing or injuring
about 300 workers. The committee of inquiry set up to investigate
the disaster blamed the construction engineer, who was arrested and
tried.

a. A power station (TETS), completed in 1958. Part of
the current produced by this station was supplied to the
tractor plant in Minsk and to the city network for lighting
purposes,
b. A plant for agricultural machinery (Zavod Selkhoz
Mashin), constructed in 1957. The plant's main item of produc-
tion was "plows" designed for uprooting trees. According to
rumor, the "plows" were also supplied to the military which
used them for leveling terrain in preparation for road building.
Military Information
16. A large military camp was located on the Lagoyskiy Trakt.
From a sergeant stationed at the camp it was learned that it contained
three radar regiments (Radiolokatzionniye Polki) which were directly
subordinate to the supreme command of the Soviet army in Moscow and
which were commanded by a lieutenant general (Gen. Leit). The units
were equipped with radar mounted on vehicles and
they often detected foreign aircraft which flew so
high that the Soviet air force was powerless to intercept them. The

Starovilenskiy Trakt and Zaslavskiy Trakt.
Construction Projects and Industrial Plants
5. In 1955, preparations were made to extend the northwest end of
Lenin Street in Minsk. The street was to be exthnded to the
area of the so-called "Tatarskie Ogorody" vegetable allotments,
which belonged to the Belorus Kolkhoz, but which actually were
located within the town, surrounded by streets and houses. The
vegetable allotments, which extended alongside the Svisloch stream,
were requisitioned and, in 1958, they had already been covered with
a layer of earth 1.5 meters thick. Reportedly, a new sports stadium
was to be erected on the site of the former allotments for the
"Suvorovskoe Uchilishche", an officer cadet school located opposite

the opera house, on Gorkogo. Lenin Street, when the extention
was completed, was to pass by the above stadium and reach
Kolkhoznaya Street.
6. Prior to 1958, there were many wooden homes on the section of
Prospekt Stalina which lay between Komarovskaya Plosh and the
town park (Park Cheluskintsev). In 1958, only a few wooden
buildings remained as large stone apartment houses had been
erected where the former had stood. The following institutions
were among the many which had been established at this section
of Prospekt Staling in recent years:
a. Polytechnic Institute (Politekh. Institut),
which occupied a fine, three-or-four-story
yellow plastered building. Two identical
buildings, which were located on either side
of the institute, served as student hostels.
b. Finance Institute (Finansoviy Institut).
C. Institute of Physical Culture (Fizkulturniy
Institut), which occupied a three-or-four-
story building.

d. The extension of the Belorussian Academy
of Sciences by the addition of a new six-
story building.
In 1954/1955, a numbered plant (nomerniy zavod) was constructed
opposite the town meteorological station, on the left-hand
side of the road to Smolensk (,Ioskovskoe shosse) coming from
the town center and at a distance of about 1.5 to 2 kilometers
from the town park (Park Cheluskintsev). The plant was rumored
to produce ships instruments.
8. Since 1955, a film studio (kinostudyo) had been under con-
struction between the meteorological station and Park Chelus-
kintsev.
9. The majority of the construction work was taking place in the
southeastern part of town, in the vicinity of the _Io, ilev
road, where extensive building projects were being carried out
(no further details). in 1999, the following industrial plants
were already operating in this area:
