The local Yakut (Sakha) people called this remote area of the taiga "wretched" and shunned it for centuries, until forty five years ago, a telegram sent to Moscow stated: "The peace pipe has been smoked." The telegram contained a coded message, meaning that a kimberlite pipe was discovered. In a few years, more than five hundred kimberlites were discovered in the area, and a town of Mirny (literally: Peaceful) was founded in 1956 to become the center of the Russian diamond-mining industry.
