T<\/span>he metallurgic plant in Karabash has solid relationships with the city. These relationships are sometimes painful, but Steelworker\u2019s Day and the City Day are celebrated simultaneously here: it\u2019s a gift of \u201cRussian Copper Company\u201d, which includes \u201cKarabashmed\u201d, to the city.<\/p>\n

At the third Sunday of July the townsmen are traditionally gathering in the Veteran\u2019s Alley, in the microdistrict built at 1970s, which is still called \u201cNoviy\u201d (\u201cNew\u201d). During that day kids are riding at the fairground attractions and eating cotton candies and the grownups are gratifying their whims with pleasure. In the evening, when the gala concert begins, the alley looks like a meadow for picnic. The neighbors and colleagues are sitting right at the ground with their drinks and food, children are running and continuing their joyful naughtiness and the grownups also have their party. They can dance in a crowd, drink beer, give their old comrades a tap on the shoulder and be proud of their profession. When you look at the Veteran\u2019s Alley that day it seems that you have the whole city in front of your eyes. People in the crowd share their stories with the strangers willingly. You just need to become a part of the holiday and listen what people are telling around you\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cAt September 18th it will be forty years since I\u2019ve been working at \u201cKarabashmed\u201d. I came to the workshop for five minutes and stayed for forty years in it\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo work can be done in workshop without a craneman. We are all links of one chain, of course, but our link is one of the most important. You know, when you drive, turn to the converter, pour, and there are sparks there!.. Well, it\u2019s impossible to explain! It\u2019s like fireworks, like we\u2019ll have today. Especially when work at night\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a steelworker, I came to the workshop consciously. But this gas (sulphur dioxide) is going to the microdistrict. It\u2019s killing me when I see like people are going down the street and use their handkerchiefs as the smoke screens. I\u2019m not against the production, if the plant will stop, the city will die. I\u2019m only against this bad situation with the waste treatment facilities\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere is comrade Kashin, also metallurgist! Oleg Vladimirovich, stand in the middle! I want to take a photo of my children in front of you!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe holiday newspaper has been published for the Steelworker\u2019s Day. I can\u2019t understand it \u2013 not any steelworker I\u2019ve seen in it. Only administration is showing off.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were born here and we live here. We breathe gas all our lives. We got used to it\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you make a photo of our gas! Just come at the ordinary day and make a photo!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother is 95 and she is also a metallurgist! And father too! And I\u2019m a merited metallurgist! Abdalovy \u2013 we are the dynasty!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been working as a midwife in a maternity department for 35 years. Maybe half of the Karabash population is mine. But I will not recognize them, of course. They grew up!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was born here. I do nothing yet and plan nothing. It\u2019s summer!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a local man from top to toe. Was born here and will die here, I hope. I\u2019ve been in a different places, but I start to miss Karabash anyway. I\u2019m an individual businessman. I have a caf\u00e9 and a sawmill. Everything little by little.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were travelling a lot with my husband. During the vacations we are going somewhere immediately. But after 10 days I become homesick, because here is my small motherland, probably. We are Karabash people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2026 Fireworks at the end of the holiday is a cause to make jokes about father\u2019s salary flying into the sky, and a beautiful view which can be photographed with the cellphone. \u201cGolden\u201d heroes of the day and the strike workers, congratulated from the stage not long ago, finally begin to drop off, the venders, who came from another towns, are winding their tents. And it will be immodest to bother somebody until tomorrow evening. Because it was a common holiday and everyone understands that the rest from such solidarity is needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
