Working at the Vladimir Ilyich Electromechanical Plant, 1960 #3 & 4

From the Soviet Press, 1960

When the country had rebuilt itself after the enormous destruction of the Second World War, the work day was reduced to 7 hours with a 6-hour day for men who worked at particularly hard jobs. The changeover began in 1956. Konstantin Oboyev began working at the plant in 1958. He has never worked more than a 7-hour day. As a matter of fact, he puts in a 40-hour week, since everybody works 2 hours less on Saturdays and on the eve of holidays.

Some 800 of the plant's people are doing after work study at specialized secondary schools and colleges, including the Moscow Conservatory. There are several educational establishments at the plant itself - a secondary school for general study, an evening electrical engineering secondary school, and a branch of the Moscow Electrical Engineering College for advanced students.
