hival footage on the construction and operation of the longest Baikal-Amur Railroad known as BAM. Stretching on more than 3500 kilometres from the west to the east on mountain district, it has become legendary for several generations of Russians. The railroad includes more than 3000 bridges, tunnels, galleries and other constructions. Views of Severomuiskiy tunnel, which is one of the longest in the world - 15.3 km; Soviet chronicles from the 70th and contemporary footage of the railroad and neighbouring towns; young people arriving from all over the Soviet Union to build the road; Brezhnev speech in the Supreme Soviet. He speaks on feats of ordinary people who build the road; video of October, 27 1984 when the last, the Golden Link" was laid. The first train started its journey from Ust-Kut and ended in Komsomolsk-on-Amur; two trains following towards each other, Soviet officials are among first passengers, builders greeted with traditional bread-and-salt, singing patriotic songs.

Interviews to the locals complaining on poor life conditions and lack of money: now its almost impossible to leave these places and settle somewhere else. Interview to a train technician. People speak on the present life of BAM which differs much from what it was in the past. Tourists still visit the region, and this becomes nearly the only source to support its budget. The difficulty of job in a severe climate is partly compensated by extremely beautiful natural landscapes. Recorded are views of beautiful Siberian nature, railroad stations, monuments to road builders, Noviy Uoyan, Severomuysk and Tayshet stations.

The footage also contains scenes of Moscow monuments of architecture and sculpture of the Soviet period: famous Laborer and kolkhoznitsa, Ministry of foreign affairs building, a monument to Gagarin, sculptures on buildings. Many scenes are accompanied by Soviet romantic and patriotic songs
