Once a Communist Party member from a nearby factory suddenly grabbed a silver Crucifix and held it aloft. "I swear on this Cross that I am with you," he cried. The Crucifix was later placed on the front wall, slightly higher than the statue of the shipyard's namesake, Nikolai Lenin...
...young travelers with rucksacks paused thoughtfully on the way to their trains.
