"Our immediate objective - to make the Volgograd Tractor Plant (a) self-sufficient solvent enterprise." I heard that half of the tractor plant's 26,000 workers had been laid off between 1990 and 2001. I talked to an american who spent several years teaching in Volgograd, who said that all three of the big factories were "pretty quiet," but that there was a lot of economic development occurring in startups. Hopefully they are turning it around in the big factories now...
