1. Construction of the new railroad station was not complete. A
new building was being erected to take the place of the one
that was destroyed during the war. The new building is of
brick. The walls had already been erected, but they had not yet
been stuccoed. The building, including its tower, is about ?
25 meters high. AIIMINIMINIIIMIIMIIIIMMIIMMINIEL
2. Ulitsa Mira leads from the tractor plant, past the Krasnyye
barrikady gun factory (orudinyy zavod) and the Kxasnyy Oktyabr'
metallurgical plant, to the railroad station. The heaviest
traffic is on this street.
Going from the tractor works to the Krasnyye barrikady factory,
one finds on his right a row of big new houses that extends as
far as the Krasnyyeluaxa barrikady. These apartment houses
are set back from the street at a distance of about 50 meters.
All of them have four stories, and they are unusually long -
more than 100 meters. The buildings are gray and pink and have
sheet-iron roofs, painted black.
Opposite the Krasnyye barrikady factory, also on the right-hand
side of the street, is a hospital that serves the factory em-
ployees. It is a three-story building, finished in gray stucco,
about 50-60 meters long. It is set off from other buildings.
There are some trees in front of the building.
Beyond the hospital, on the right side of the street, is a row
of tenements of the same sort as those described above, which
extends to the House of the Communist Party (Dom partii - number
one on the map). The source does not know the building's official
designation - the prisoners of war called it the ParteigebRude.
It is a three-story yellowish building, which was constructed
after the war. There are four columns before the entrance. The
wall is decorated with the portraits of many Party leaders.
3. Between ulitsa Mira and the Volga is a group of at least fifteen
gasoline storage tanks (#10 on the map). They are cylindrical
in shape, 12-15 meters high, 8-10 meters in diameter, and
painted a saver color.
4. Next door to the House of the Communist Party (#2 on the map)
is a factory that produced metal parts - the prisoners of war
called it a Schraubenfabrik (screw factory). It is set off
from the street by a stuccoed yellowish wall about 2 meters
high. The source has not been inside the premises.
There is planting - bushes and flowers - between the factory and
the House of the Communist Party.

side of ulitsa Mlra (if you are facing the railroad station). 50X1-HUM
It is the building just before the railroad station. .The front
of the building is composed of three parts that are connected
by low covered passages. The entrance is in the central part
'of the building. Two long one-story buildings have been erected
behind this three-part building in front. Construction on the
two rear buildings was still under way in 1953. They had been
stuccoed but not painted. The building material used was brick.
The maffx roofs were of red tile.
There is a gorge between the hospital and the railroad station.
This gorge is spanned by a wooden bridge. The source does not
know where the railrOad bridge was for the line that connected
the tractor plant with the tailroad station.
6. The railroad line connecting the tractor plant and the railroad
station does not run as shown on the map. It actually turns
off to the right from ulitsa Mira at the point where the area
occupied by the Krasnyy Oktyabr, factory comes to an end.
The approximate route is shown on the map with a pencil line.
7. Military air field (#4 on the map). Located on a steppe. The
field is not fenced off. Hangars were being constructed there,
and in 1953 the steel framework had been erected.
8. Barracks (#5 on the map). These barracks were not destroyed
during the war. In 1953 antiaircraft defense units were sta-
tioned here. The source does not know any further details. .
9. An aluminum plant was under construction in the area shown by
#6 on the map.
10. MVD building (#9 on the map). Three- or four-story red building
square in shape. The roof is flat and surrounded by mt columns
that are joined by transoms.
There is a theater (#7 on the map) near the MVD building. It
was not destroyed during the war. The main 'entrance is from
the Volga side. There is a distance of about 150 meters be-
tween the theater and the Volga. There are four columns in
front of the entrance. The building is white.
A broad gm/lit granite stairway leads down to a passenger pier
from somewhere near the MVD building. The stairway is about
100 meters long and 50 meters wide. There is a landing between
every set of 10 steps.
The source does
