Of to me to be concorde has to do a test every time he goes to work or its a required safety regulation of a ship or gets metallurgical combine one of the largest steel foundries in russia. For years to me today concorde has been working at Blast Furnace number 5 which he and his colleagues affectionately call somebody on the nordic beauty. Its a fiery hell more than a 100 meters long which swallows iron ore and coke at the top and spits out liquid pig iron at the bottom. Of the chimney as if. The goal is to melt pig odor and the Blast Furnace there is a good. One but so we are money going to. The pig iron is cleaned. Pressed and shaped right next door the end result is steel a material thats used everywhere like construction sites in the gas and Automobile Industries its an indispensable symbol of russias heavy industry. Is still something i came here when i was 20 or very young right after the army. Put on radio back then this was and still is one of the most secure places in the country in terms of income and social security. More than 70000000. 00 tons per year russia ranks 5th in the world in Steel Production to me to be concord is proud to contribute he loves his country his company and the glowing steel. If there were then able thats the foundry my life would be more complicated ive got some new somewhere else to make money. Dimitri value security most of all as do many and ship obviates. You can go with the stable income and stable social benefits and the reason why people stay can you please there isnt a new unrest or protest here.

Of the more than 300000. 00 inhabitants more than a 10th are employed at the foundry they earn on average the equivalent of 900. 00 euros per month almost twice as much as in many other professions here. The biggest of those the biggest my son wants to go to College Later i can afford it i can also provide a future for my wife and daughter and thats what i call stability. He believes that russian president Vladimir Putin is partly responsible for this economic stability putin has ruled the country for 20 years and is still among the most popular politicians for many russians. In all honesty i have respect for putin. First hes a mushnick a mans man as i am. But i work in an all male collective as a Blast Furnace foreman with machine real men in russia thats a term used to describe someone who you can rely on any situation and someone who consistently pursues his goals and i cant call it love i love my wife and daughter of course but i have respect for putin present during his composure. His resilience. Even though he appreciates putin personally the steel worker from the north west isnt really satisfied with russian politics in general. But i dont want to get into geopolitics and talk about things like the marriage of certain parts of the country or Foreign Policy and political we have enough problems in the country that we should address. Remote villages for example or problems in agriculture for pneumonia. We should import ordinary cucumbers from china to grow them here ourselves just like during soviet times. d but to me tree concord doesnt want to live in soviet times cut off from the outside world. Takes a few generations and then were friends with the others and the others have more respect for us. The main thing is that his nordic beauty his Blast Furnace number 5 continues to spew out enough to keep his future safe.
