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

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

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."

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

"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.

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.

[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

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)
