Chapter 577

The Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine, Donetsk City, the capital of Donetsk state, has a few days to go before the New Year holiday. This is the time when the city's workers are shopping for the coming New Year - Christmas holiday.

Donetsk is a famous coal city in the Soviet Union, while Donetsk is the steel center of the Soviet Union. The famous sub speed steel plant, iricha steel plant, coke plant, chemical plant and salt mine are all located nearby, forming a complete steel production base.

Most of the residents in Donetsk are workers, especially coal workers and steel workers. There are many families where father and son work in the same factory for two generations. In the Soviet Union, the social status of workers is still good. Although they are not as good as intellectuals and cadres, they are still much better than those who live in collective farms. In Donetsk, the most enviable are the workers working in coal mines. Especially last year, the local coal was successfully exported to the UK, earning a lot of foreign exchange for the country, and the welfare of workers was improved.

On the first Friday of every month, the coal miners in Donetsk have a special benefit. That's the soap that coal miners can't do without every day. Because coal miners are underground operations, every day at the end of the work, the whole body is dyed black by coal. So, since the Khrushchev era, soap has become the most practical welfare for coal miners. The Ministry of coal industry will distribute soap to workers monthly through the following three industry companies.

However, there seems to be something wrong with the soap this month. The soap that should have been given to workers according to the past practice has been delayed for half a month. This makes many front-line coal miners feel some dissatisfaction. We can't help talking about it in our spare time.

"Did you hear that the workers' new town in Moscow has been stopped?"

"I've heard that it seems that because of the reform measures of secretary ligachov, the Communist Youth League Pravda said that they didn't ask the workers and residents about this matter at all..."

"Damn it, these officials don't have a good thing."

……

A group of workers in the unit canteen while eating smoked fish and mashed potatoes, while complaining. At this time, a guy pushed open the door, the cold wind outside suddenly made the people in the room feel very uncomfortable.

"Close the door, do you want to freeze us all to death?" A worker who is nearest to the door looks back and reproaches discontentedly.

"Why are you still eating here? Come to the mine with me! Just now, the Party committee of the mine issued a notice to cancel our soap. Now the workers are quitting. They want to find an explanation for the mine... "The intruder gasped.

"These officials really treat our workers as vegetarians. I don't want to beat out their intestines..."

"MD, with just a little salary, I'm looking forward to pouring some soap and rural communes to exchange some beets and potatoes. Now, I don't even have this hope..."

"I think it's secretary Andropov who has passed away. These bastards are itching again."

The more excited the coal miners were, the more they took up their coats and ran out.

When they came out of the canteen, they saw the workers coming from all directions walking towards the Party committee of the mining area. Some people may ask, for a few bars of soap, but if you ask any coal miner in Donetsk, it's a serious problem.

After returning to the ground from the underground, every coal miner has to use soap to remove the coal pollution, but the amount of soap that every worker can receive each month is far more than their actual use. What to do with the rest of the soap is to go to the black market and exchange it for something else. In the present Soviet Union, because of the abnormal industrial layout, light industry is far from meeting the needs of the common people. Daily necessities such as soap are in hot demand on the black market. If you don't like it, you can even exchange a few pieces of soap for a tokalev from the gun dealer.

……

The Party committee of Donetsk mining area is in a mess now. Since they received the rectification notice from the Ministry of coal industry, they immediately announced it. Unexpectedly, they caused so much trouble. Countless workers came in and asked why they did it.

"This is the above decision. The Ministry has informed us that we should cooperate with the economic reform of the central government..."

"You are short of our soap when you start to reform, aren't you?"

"Even if we don't let go of so many pieces of soap, will we live or not..."

"Do you know what the price of soap is on the black market now? We can't even eat meat when we buy Soap with our salary..." the people who say this are not nonsense. Most of the workers have several children in their families. Originally, they are not well-off. The goods in the state-owned shops are on display. If we want to buy things, we have to go to the black market. The prices in those shops are so expensive that they are frightening.

The workers didn't know that it wasn't ligachov's idea to stop the soap, but seliosha's suggestion. Xie liaosha has also been at the bottom of the society. He knows what these seemingly insignificant little things mean to the workers below. The Ministry of coal industry's soap is just the beginning.

At the same time, thousands of miles away from Donetsk, workers in Volgograd electrolytic aluminum plant were arguing with the factory managers about whether to send gevas for blast furnace workers to prevent heatstroke at the end of the year. The electrolytic aluminum plant is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of metallurgical industry. They have also been secretly instructed by Xie liaosha to cancel the welfare of some workers.

Xie liaosha is on holiday at this moment. He takes Yulia to the resort villa in Sochi to avoid the disturbance of Moscow. However, Xie liaosha did not really stop working, but secretly instigated the mood of the workers.

"Yulia, call the reporters of the Communist Youth League Pravda and ask them to go to Donetsk and Volgograd to interview the workers there." Xie liaosha is naked, soaking in the warm water, holding a cigar in one hand and a remote control in the other, searching for programs of interest quickly.

Just then, Julia in her pajamas came into the bathroom and asked, "do you want me to call now?"

"No, just a moment!" Xie liaosha finished, and immediately dragged Yulia into the bathtub.

"Minister, it's not good of you to ask me to take a holiday with you." Yulia doesn't reject shariosha, because she likes such a powerful person as shariosha. Power is the best aphrodisiac for this woman.

"You can call me seliosha!" Xie liaosha said and heavily kisses Yulia's lips.
