Favolsky's arrival came as a big surprise to the people of the Tyumen Synthetic Rubber Plant, which also fulfilled Favolsky's desire to inspect the country's newest synthetic rubber plant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Favolsky, an eighty-year-old man, did not know that Manturov was going to visit Siberia.

It was only a few days before the departure that Manturov happened to go to Favolsky to discuss the development of the synthetic rubber industry and the petrochemical industry in the USSR and to listen to Favolsky's views.

In the course of the exchange, Manturov inadvertently said that he would visit the Tyumen synthetic rubber plant in a few days, saying that the latest technology and equipment were applied there, some of which were imported from the United States.

As a result, Favolsky was intrigued, and he was eager to see what the latest and most important synthetic rubber plant in the Soviet Union had developed, and also to find out what the equipment imported from the United States was, and which was better than the Soviet Union's own equipment.

On a whim, Favolsky said he wanted to go over there. When Manturov heard this, in order to "fulfill the wishes of the old man", he decided to include Favolsky in the list of the expedition.

However, Favolsky is already an eighty-year-old man, what if something happens when he travels far away? Not to mention that he was one of the most important chemists in the Soviet Union, a rare talent, and if something happened to him, it would cause losses to the scientific development of the country.

In order to ensure that Favolsky's body did not fail, Manturov specially invited two nursing staff to follow Favolsky and take care of him at all times. This arrangement made Favolski very happy and ensured that he would not have physical problems during the long journey.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Tyumen was the first stop on Manturov's visit, a small city with a population of just over a hundred thousand that didn't have much to offer him for a few days.

After seeing the petrochemical enterprises in Tyumen and learning about the local oil industry, he got on a train and headed east along the Trans-Siberian Railway to his next destination, Omsk.

Omsk is one of the most important industrial centers in the Western Siberian region, second only to Novosibirsk. At this time, Omsk was the capital of the Omsk region (nonsense), and in the years when the Tyumen region was not yet formed, the Tyumen region was still under the jurisdiction of the Omsk region, and most of the Ob oil region was also located on the territory of the Omsk region (the rest was on the territory of the Novosibirsk region).

As the third-ranking secretary of the Party Committee of the Omsk Region, Ustinova also had to make a trip from Tyumen to Omsk, so she took a ride with Manturov and headed east.

Factories appeared in front of Manturov's eyes, and the towering chimneys beside the factories emitted puffs of exhaust fumes. This is a sign of industrial development, but also of the destruction of the urban environment.

At this time, the concept of environmental protection was not taken seriously, the sewage and waste gas treatment technology was not mature, and the pollution generated by industry was relatively large, and the impact on urban residents was also relatively large.

The development model of the Omsk region, like other Soviet cities, was relatively concentrated on the development of industry, and in the course of the three five-year plans, Omsk gradually developed into an important industrial city.

There, one factory after another was spewed, including the Omsk cheese processing plant, the Kosisky plant (which produced electronic equipment such as radio stations), and the original Omsk Transport Machinery Plant (Омсктрансмаш) and the Siberian Agricultural Machinery Plant (Сибзавод) were constantly expanding.

In addition to this, an aircraft factory with the number 166 was built in Omsk to produce the Tupolev series, including the Tu-2 bomber.

Unfortunately, the 174 plant in Leningrad (also known as the Voroshilov plant) was not relocated to Omsk because Leningrad was not affected by the war for the time being, so Omsk did not become a tank production center as it did historically.

Even so, Omsk developed into an important rear industrial production base, providing strategic materials such as bombers and radio stations to the front, which contributed to the Great Patriotic War.

However, while industrialization, it has caused a lot of problems. Because of industrialization, Omsk, which has a small population, has a shortage of labor, and the only way to supplement human resources is to introduce rural people or foreign talents.

However, the increase in human resources and the growth of urban population will bring about the problem of tight housing supply. With the construction technology of the time, it was almost impossible to build so many houses in a short period of time, so many Soviet industrial cities had to implement a policy of "shared apartments", where several households shared the same apartment and crammed people into it.

Fortunately, after Manturov became the first secretary of the Novosibirsk region, he immediately built a prefabricated apartment in Novosibirsk. The construction efficiency of this kind of prefabricated apartment is fast, high, and low-cost, and the construction can be completed in a short time.

Just a year and a half after Manturov came to power, the housing problem in Novosibirsk has basically improved dramatically, with twice the living space per capita in Moscow, and Manturov has won the support of the people.

The success of Novosibirsk has led to other regions following suit, and the governments of the Omsk, Krasnoyaysk, Svidlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions have sent expeditions to Novosibirsk to inspect and learn from the construction of apartments there.

The Novosibirsk region has also sent experts to these places to assist them in the construction of new apartments.

Beginning in 1939, Manturov apartments began to appear in various cities of Siberia, and after Katya became the second secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, she also brought Manturov apartments to Moscow, which to a certain extent alleviated the problem of housing supply in Moscow.

Subsequently, the western regions of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and even the Caucasus, Central Asia and other places began to build such prefabricated apartments, so that the name of Manturov spread with the construction of such apartments.

In general, the development model of Omsk is generally not different from that of other industrial cities in Siberia, and there is not much to see.

Manturov and his entourage went around the Omsk industrial zone, visited several important factories, went to the Omsk regional party committee for a meeting, and then took the night train to Novosibirsk.
