Norilsk nickel Smelter

[LinkeHarryB]

Grass and flowers look at the sun? I doubt that with all the toxic smoke in the air around Norilsk

[Cyrobal]

It reminds me of soviet movies. As the they say about workers, "They will work over-time, because life in the country depends on them."

[MegaCali84]

they love their work huh? most of these guys will die from cancer real young.

[zbyh1980]

"This is why people love their work." Dude, are you out of your mind? I bet if you were to spend in there at least 4 hours straight, You would not want to come back there again. People who work there hate their jobs, the only reason why they go back is no other alternative. Norilsk is in the middle of nowhere, it is polluted shit hole where an average resident dies before turning 50.

[alexanderptkv1]

propaganda! tell them why people in Norilsk live no more than 50.I'ts f... poison.O.K no more than 55..

[SeberHusky]

Wikipedia says:

The nickel smelter which has been an eyesore in Norway–Russia relations for decades due to its extreme pollution levels, usually deposits sulfur dioxide fumes to the south, where the countryside is a brown moonscape of bald hills, barren of plant life for kilometers around. In the summertime, the toxic fumes which for the rest of the year rarely blow northwards towards the town, occasionally do just that, making breathing difficult and even burning holes in people's umbrellas.

What a huge load of bullshit. This feels like blatant propaganda from communist times. Suggesting that the people who work there do it because it is their passion and that each time they create metal they feel like they have become father is ludacrous. In reality people work there because they have no choice. Norilsk is simply the largest employer in the area and people there do not have the financial resources to move elsewhere. This factory dramatically decreases their life expectancy.

i work with a russian

[MrChilenito18]

is just cheap propaganda, everyone knows that this is the most polluted city in Russia and the world thanks to this company and several others, is there anything to know that trees do not grow aciday rain snow is black

[rxrxrxrxrx]

What a load of crap! I haven't seen such a propaganda movie since the soviet times. The people are treated as shit there. The pollution is so high that it is economically feasible to mine the metals directly from the contaminated soil (As opposed to the 1200 meter deep mines)

[kazimann]

The narrator is hilarious!

[cosmolider]

maybe somethin bring to my information to smelting proces and sistems, becose my investigation is for smelt a mountain of scrap in antique smelting german company in mexico 100 years ago, now this scoria contains very important metals gold silver platinum etc im find prices sistems expert people to make this work, thanks norilsknickel

[12valvepower1]

[12valvepower1]

ATLAS SHRUGGED

[alexanderptkv1]

The oldst man in Norilsk is 55 years old!!

[okayillgonow]

@alexanderptkv1: Huge pollution problems there, hence the low life expectancy.

[12valvepower1]

all cars and machines need what is made at NN

[shelbymainzer]

What BS! Let me tell you about Norilsk. home to the world's largest heavy metal smelting complex, with little or no regulartory oversight. Polluted water and air make life expectancy in this city around just 40 years. Within 30 miles of the city, there is not a single living tree. Yes they must love that! What a bunch of horseshit propaganda!

[okayillgonow]

Horseshit propaganda AKA bullshit advertising. Norilsk is so polluted that it was designated a closed city in 2002. For some reason I find that funny, in a fucked up sense.

[sedna69a]

They love it in there?

[okayillgonow]

Again, it's bullshit. Norilsk's citizens are - metaphorically speaking - "prisoners of the North".

[12valvepower1]

@okayillgonow originally. now they get paid alot

[okayillgonow]

@12valvepower1: of course; since the city is closed, NN is a statutory monopoly.

[nightfly1985]

I work for a nickel smelter in Canada . yes there many bad condition's such as s02 led asbestise. but i dont know were u got 10k USD / year. i make 156,000$Cad / year bass of 40h a week and were not happy with company . they do not invest in higher air filtration for are helf. and Goverment are not Strick on emission's

[xPenguindominationx]

These people make less than 10,000 USD anually. Because of the horrible conditions some of them don't even make it to 50 years.

[KHAAAAAAAAN]

Ore is smelted on site at Norilsk. The smelting is directly responsible for severe pollution, including acid rain and smog. By some estimates, 1 percent of the entire global emission of sulfur dioxide originates here

Heavy metal pollution in the area is so severe that the soil itself has platinum and palladium content which is feasible to mine

Nice X_x

[luxury43]

Should see NOrsk Hydro plant!

[firebird17139]

best modern propoganda ever, it's hillarious

[12valvepower]

norilsk is awesome

[okayillgonow]

I agree. Too bad it's a closed city since 2002.

[ladaladaladalada]

rare, inside the works

[ladaladaladalada]

did norilsk create the metals needed to make ladas?

i know the samara lada had catylytic converters for the export cars, and the metal for it came from norilsk palaadium mines
