The Salair gold-field arose on the bank of the Suenga river in the 19-th century. Today gold-workers complain that people don’t want to work.

Pavel Bobrovsky is 38 years old. He started a gold-producing company Salair on the basis of a Soviet enterprise in 2007.

Now workers of the new enterprise get high salaries and are fed 5 times a day. It is also planned to build new houses for the employees in future that will be purchased on a preferential basis.

But in spite of all the favourable conditions it is difficult for Pavel to hire people as they don’t feel like working hard and prefer to spend summers with their friends in pubs.

A worker performs gold washing. Director Bobrovski used to do the same job for 6 years.
