News that warm up our hearts and blur our eyes: after being closed for 20 years, the oldest manufacturers of refrigerators, SIAM, has been taken under cooperative control of workers who are restoring the ruins of the factory. The first 100% nationally designed and built refrigerators (many of which are still working after 50 years) are again in the production lines, and the factory that once has 7,000 employees has already hired the first 200, and it is expected to recover many thousands of workers. FROM THE GROUND, as it is correct, as it has been told to us when we were children, as our grandparents did, as many of us are actually doing.

Old workmen show some installations repaired, show their old hands and swear in front of the cameras that they will be taken out of the factory only dead. The same is beeing seen at the fields of wheat and corn, at fruit and cotton plantations, at small schools. There IS hope.
