July 5, 2013. A museum dedicated to the history of Seversky metallurgical industry workers’ camping site was opened at Gorodok Solntsa, a children’s summer camp run by Seversky Pipe Plant, the enterprise’s press service reports.
‘The idea to piece together all the exhibits relating to Gorodok Solntsa’s fifty-year history took root in the mind of long-service employees about a year ago, when they visited the camp during the anniversary celebrations. Workers from Severskaya Blast Furnace Museum decided to make this idea a reality and suggested setting up a traveling exhibition,’ the press release says.
About a thousand artifacts have been collected so far, a project of the exhibition has been designed, and scores of interviews have been conducted with the old-time employees who used to work at the camp at some points. In addition, Sverdlovsk Region State Archive proved to have plenty of useful data on the subject.
