I Captured The Boiling Life Inside An Old Iron Alloy Factory In Georgia

我在乔治亚州的一家旧铁合金工厂里捕捉到了沸腾的生活

As other Soviet-era factories get closed or turned into lofts and supermarkets day by day, this ever-lasting Georgian factory is alive and kicking, and it’s been going like this for 86 years!

当其他苏联时代的工厂一天天地关闭或变成阁楼和超市时，这个永恒的格鲁吉亚工厂仍然生机勃勃，它已经像这样运转了86年!

The town of Zestafoni in the former Soviet country of Georgia is home to a Ferroalloy Plant that produces manganese alloys used to strengthen steel. Raw manganese ore is transported to Zestafoni by train from mines in the nearby Chiatura region. The final product is shipped to steel factories in other countries around the world.

前苏联国家格鲁吉亚的Zestafoni镇是一家铁合金工厂的所在地，该厂生产用于强化钢铁的锰合金。未加工的锰矿通过火车从附近的Chiatura地区的矿山运到Zestafoni。最终产品被运往世界各地的钢铁厂。

Many employees in Zestafoni have worked at this same factory for over 35 years.

Zestafoni的许多员工在同一家工厂工作了35年以上。

Look from the outside

从外面看

Fun fact: Though built in soviet times, the factory outlasted the soviets, and has been active longer than the whole soviet era.

有趣的事实:虽然建于苏联时期，但工厂比苏联时期更长久，比整个苏联时期都要活跃。

The inner workings of the old factory

旧工厂内部的工作情况

Founded in 1933 by the famous Georgian scientist Giorgi Nikoladze, the facility continues to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

该设施由著名的格鲁吉亚科学家Giorgi Nikoladze于1933年建立，现在仍然每天24小时，每周7天运转。

The people that work here

在这里工作的人

What left me impressed is the harmony of the production line. It felt as if the workers were performing a choreographed dance, rather than just doing a simple routine.

让我印象深刻的是生产线的和谐。感觉就像工人们在表演一场精心编排的舞蹈，而不是简单的重复动作。

The Soviet art of the working class

苏联工人阶级的艺术

All of this is expected for a factory of this gargantuan size. What’s odd, though, is that it’s riddled with Soviet-era mosaics and sculptures that depict the production of ferroalloy, wine, the transportation of raw materials.

所有这些都是如此庞大的工厂所需要的。但奇怪的是，这里满是苏联时代的马赛克和雕塑，描绘着铁合金的生产、葡萄酒和原材料的运输。
