Today we’ll make a journey into the past of one of the biggest hydro power stations in the world and see what it looks like today.
The Hydro Power Station Of Krasnoyarsk is the fisrt power station on the Yenisey river. It is located 40 km away from Krasnoyarsk city and was built in 1972. It is the 7th most powerful station in the world.
‘We’ll tame the Yenisey river!’Â Its long-term average annual accounts for 18.4 billion kWh and covers half of the needs of the Krasnoyarsk region in the electric energy. Construction of the power station started in 1956.
First half of 1961.

Oh, you dont know what you are wishing for. No freedom of speech, bad food and bad equipment to work with.
What good is the freedom of speech if you are enslaved economically through the system of debt?
GULAG already didn´t exist in the 1960s
Duh… GuLags still exists… where do you think Mikhail Khodorkovski and other people who opposed Putin are detained? In GuLags…
Gulags formally existed until 1960 but the last prisoners left it in 1987, is a question only formal. The reality was different.
that’s waht i was thinking.How many people died building this plant.I think minimum 1000 people died.
Not as interesting or as close to Vegas as the Hoover Dam
You’re kidding, right?
Energy unlimited.
Whatever we say about the “mistakes” of the Soviet Union, Russia is a beautiful country and I would love to visit him. Not Italy, not Spain or Croatia …. only to Russia pulls me.
