metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines tense relations between the state, managers, and employees of industrial enterprises,
  concretely at the Vodokanalizatsiya Trust. The trust was engaged in the design, construction, and operation
  of water supply and sewage systems, the most important systems for modernizing urban space in the whole
  of Europe. Technological innovations were to be followed by social changes that could have their own specific
  traits in relation to other enterprises, since the trust did not belong to any of the most important branches of Soviet
  industry. Materials from the Central State Archives of St. Petersburg regarding activities of this department in the
  “Vodokanalizatsiya” trust show that a so-called Secret Department (Sekretnaya chast) or Secret Police, a branch
  of the OGPU — NKVD, gradually began to play an increasingly important role in managing these enterprises.
  Through these Secret Departments, new principles of hiring and dismissal from work, as well as imposing disciplinary
  sanctions, were introduced in the late 1920s. The special attention of the Secret Department was received
  by so-called “former people,” as well as by representatives of peoples. All this took place under conditions of an
  acute shortage of skilled labor in Leningrad. Thus, the state’s interests in economic development came into conflict
  with other interests, which in state literature are labelled as “ideological” and are rarely analyzed in detail. The
  article discusses the real case of anti-Soviet agitation, of which the central figure was a worker in the communal
  services of Leningrad. Thus, the role of the OGPU — NKVD in the development of the Soviet industry in the 1930s
  is studied using the example of the Vodokanalizatsiya Trust.
