by the way, idk if this is of interest to anyone else lol, but a little bit ago i was doing research on russian monotowns in the soviet era, specifically in the 1960s and 70s, and as i was struggling to find much in terms of english-language sources, i found someone in a server willing to translate a couple of russian articles into english in exchange for a commission. these have just been sitting on my pc since but i figure they could be of interest to anyone else looking into russian monotowns or the living conditions of working class people in the soviet era, so heres the articles!

both articles contain some personal notes from the translator which ive left in. i dont know what the original russian articles are, sorry - these were selected by the translator.
