Manpower builders Kuban reservoir
The Krasnodar reservoir in 2017 will be the 50th anniversary, with the adoption of decision No. 1737-R dated 22 July 1967 taken to count the birth of the reservoir. In the light of future anniversary, want to make an analysis of the events that accompanied the birth of the "man-made sea". The article focuses on an overview of the key institutions involved in the construction of the reservoir, and also examined the specificity of labor resources, among which are separately identified leaders of production. The work pays attention to some difficulties that accompany the construction of the Krasnodar reservoir: the construction of the dam and construction of related facilities. Of course, these were not the only problems that stand in the way of engineers. I would like to mention, that the labour resources of the Krasnodar reservoir is not fully covered in scientific and archival materials. The reason lies in the fact, that the documents were not declassified. We know, for example, that during the construction of the reservoir was used a special contingent labor, but in official sources mention these facts not. Also, virtually unknown to us the negative side of the employment of builders, which at least in small numbers, but were present. It is known that in the period of construction was carried on actively lighting "victories", published interviews, biographies of heroes of labor. Actively involved labor force to the construction site. This project was implemented by the heroism and patriotism of the Soviet workers.
