General
1. In 1959, Mukachevo C 48-435 E 22-437 had a population of about
70,000, an increase of about 40,000 over the last 20 years.
Approximately 40 percent of the population in 1959 were Hungarians
and about 40 percent Ruthenes, the other 20 percent including
Russians, Czechs, Gypsies, and Germans. The Hungarians and the non-
Ruthenian Russians, however, were the dominant elements in the life
of the city, and the prevalent language in the town was Hungarian.
2. Extensive construction work had begun in Mukachevo in the early
1950. Two, three, and four-story apartment houses had been constructed
by the government for government and military offices, and many of
the inhabitants were moving from the rural areas to the suburbs to
build themselves houses, usually one-family structures. All the new
buildings in Mukachevo had shelters in their basements.

SECREI L-
3. Until 1948, Mukachevo was in a closed zone, and nonresidents entering
slu
the area were required to have Permits. All restrictions on travel
to and from the city and on all forms of transportation were rescinded
in 1948, however, and many tourists had since been visitinghe city,
primarily to visit their relatives there. The Western influence
was still quite evident in Mukachevo, its people dressing appreciably
better and more stylishly than elsewhere in the USSR. For the same
reason, the townspeople, and especially the Hungarians, were dis-
satisfied with the regime and detested the Russians and their culture.
On Sundays and holidays, the Catholic churches were filled to over-
flowing. Young people constituted a large portion of the congregations.
4. The city's central thoroughfares were asphalted, but other streets
were only stone-surfaced. Although there were central sewage and
water supply systems in the town proper, there were none to serve the
private homes built in the suburbs after the war. Buses and taxis
constituted the public transportation facilities in the city. The
buses ran along two lines; from the alcohol factory via ulitsa
Dukhnovicha, Stalina, and Lenina to the railtoad station, and from
the village of Podkhorany across the bridge over the Latoritsa River
to the Rosvigovo district of the city. Taxis stood at all the
important downtown intersections and were widely used by the population.
The city's telephone system functioned almost faul ly, particularly
since the semi-automatic exchange had been replaced by a fully
automatic one.

An extensive network of restaurants and cafeterias served the city's
inhabitants and visitors and ranged from expensive restaurants in
the hotels to cafeterias operated by industrial plants, where the
prices were commensurate with the workers' incomes. The city's
commercial organization (Gortorg) ran its own chain of restaurants
and cafeterias, which were patronized primarily by the local population,
while those of the various public and military offices catered
exclusively to their respective employees. The food served by all
these establishments had improved in quality and become more varied
and abundant in recent years. The city had no cdfes on the European
style.
6. The MVD maintained a screening center (peresylnyIpunkt) in a two-story
building on ulitsa Bukhnovicha. It processed Russians and Ukrainians
returning from Western countries to settle in the USSR.
7. The bridge over the Latoritsa River was completed in 1957. Built of
reinforced concrete, it was 200 meters long, had dual traffic lanes,
two sidewalks, and a maximum weight-load of 50 tons. Though the
river was only about 30 meters wide in the summer, it welled to about
200 meters in the spring.
