about peace. To the uninitiated) small town, part of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) - Peace. Someone heard a lot about him as a native of Victoria Daineko, someone heard that in the ninety-fifth arrives Alla and his family. But really, this city is famous for its diamond industry. For the first time I heard about a peaceful country in nineteen fifty-fifth year when the Kremlin came to the line "when he lit a pipe of peace. Tobacco is excellent. " Such secret radiogram reported Soviet geologists in Moscow the opening of the richest diamond-bearing kimberlite pipe "Mir". Quote, "a special code for this case we did not have - remember the head of the geological Party Yuri Habardin. - And we have made the text so that it is understandable that we find - "lit up" and gave her a name - "Mir". The phrase "other than tobacco," said the rich content of diamonds. " End quote. Peace is considered to be the diamond capital of the region, if only because it is one of the biggest on the planet diamond mining pit "Mir", which it owes its name. By the time of closing (to two thousand one year) had a pit depth of five hundred meters and reached More than a thousand meters in width. He was even nominated in two thousand and seventh year for the title of the seventh wonder of the world. After its closure the company moved to a coal mine mining method.
Peace Now people is slightly less than forty thousand inhabitants. The city's economy rests on the work of the company Alrosa, where he works most residents of the Peace.
As someone rightly said, is "the last island of socialism." This is evidenced by at least a newly installed monument Stalin near the city center. A central square is decorated with a statue of Lenin.
food prices there is fabulous. And now, in a crisis they only grow, and salaries of residents are falling. Many businesses have gone in a simple, in fact, "the first of which refuse to crisis - the diamonds" (c). In the city a total of 8 schools and then one of them, the best in Mininskom area - high school, which proudly bears the name of the president's school, now want to attach to the secondary second school, thus the quality of education deteriorates. Have their own local history and kimberlite museums, universities and shopping malls. Press poorly developed, only Daily Newspaper "Mirny worker, an edition of seven thousand copies, sold out in two hours. The news is mostly at the level of rumor. A huge plus for this city - sports facilities, it there a lot. But mostly the students attend. Adult population is resting in local bars. Their total two, and even then known for constant "showdowns" visitors. Summer all leave or to stay with relatives or in the Krasnodar Territory under permits provided company. Who is - spending time on Lake Chuonalyr that all employees of the same company has recently established themselves very well and made it a sandy beach. In the city there is a sanatorium, but getting there for treatment, if you're not a company employee, is difficult.
peace - it's a trap, anywhere, people are starting to earn a lot, and it is addictive. So after school basically all of the graduates are leaving to live and study at the center of Russia - Moscow, St. Petersburg. Remain there only indigenous residents and children of low-budget families. And even then not always. Sometimes returning to work students. If you have a desire to visit this city, you need to stock up money, because only one-way ticket now costs about fourteen thousand. Fly for about six hours. And hotel accommodation in the average cost you three thousand wood per day. In winter, you will not find a cafe, mostly restaurants. In summer, outdoor cafes with its terrace and barbeque - a dime a dozen. Yes, and in principle in winter there is nothing to do - the temperature drops to minus fifty, and all the smart people stay home. In summer the opposite - very hot. These differences in temperature Peace owes its dry climate. So if you are not afraid of crisis and Mirny prices, stock up a bunch of scarves and woolen socks (to keep warm in winter), or leave the house in front of bigger things (so do not knowingly carry with you in a lot of excess heat sorokagradusnuyu) and in the way of the road towards the northern romance!
