How was the Soviet economic miracle created? Since the late 1920s, the government has staked on the creation of large-scale industry, on the "everyday life of great construction projects", about which the whole country sang. The standard of living changed, relations with foreign partners changed, but the series of great construction projects in the Soviet Union did not stop until Perestroika. Turksib, Magnitogorsk, DneproGES, Tsaritsyn and Chelyabinsk Tractor Plants, Baikonur, Bratsk Hydroelectric Power Station, East Siberian Oil, KamAZ, and finally BAM - these concepts have become legends. Almost all of these enterprises are still working for Russia. In this book, we will reveal the real history of these outstanding objects - according to memoirs, according to documents and newspaper materials of those years, according to estimates of domestic and foreign experts, according to statistical materials. We get to know people who did the impossible, turning deserts and taiga into a "garden city" - major designers, engineers, managers, workers. How do we evaluate the great construction projects of the USSR today and how will they most likely be evaluated tomorrow? How independent were these projects, did they depend on foreign technologies? We will consider different points of view on this phenomenon and make sure that much of the practice of that time is also relevant for the XNUMXst century. Because the industrial, labor history of the country is no less important than the military-political one.
