Those who worked at the research institute in the 70–80s remember how enthusiastically the employees promoted science, wrote articles, and introduced new inventions into promising projects. The restructuring of the 90s made adjustments to the life of Russians. There is not much left from the Thermal Engineering Institute of Chelyabinsk: the empty premises of a huge building with the name Research Institute, a huge orderly “star” on the facade and the unofficial name of the city district. The Institute has survived, but now occupies only one floor. The main part of the premises is occupied by sports and dance clubs, development centers, sewing ateliers, service bureaus, offices, retail outlets or is rented out. Address of Chelyabinsk Heat Engineering: Victory Ave., 168.
Order on the facade of Heat Engineering
The Institute building is impossible to imagine without a huge Order Star. The decorative shield "Order of Victory" is updated to the anniversary dates of Victory Day. The new owners of the Heat Engineering building had attempts to hide the order under an advertising banner, but this caused indignation of the citizens. Because the famous symbol in 2013 was taken into municipal ownership and is now supervised by the Center for Historical and Cultural Heritage.
The "Order of Victory" is lit in the evenings during the May holidays and June 22. He reminds the townspeople that Chelyabinsk is a city of labor glory. During the Second World War, the capital city of the Southern Urals, then called Tankograd, made a great contribution to the Victory over fascism.
