Employees of the Department for Combating theft of Socialist Property (OBKhSS) are checking employees of the Novosibirsk branch of the Voskhod shoe factory, a bakery and other city enterprises. Employees of a shoe factory carry women's boots through the checkpoint under their clothes, and they take out bakery products in bags from the bakery without hiding. Criminal cases are brought up against violators, protocols are drawn up. Someone is sent to a pre-trial detention center. In the clothing market, the local department of the interior checks the origin of the goods sold. There are many young people among the merchants, including Pavel Alexandrovich Mironov, a student of the public catering college (17 years old). The seller of scarce radio components Pyotr Illarionovich Susik says (sinhr.) That the entire deficit is mined at the city dump. A dump truck unloads garbage from a radio plant, men surround the car in a tight ring. Some manage to climb into the lowering body, looking for the necessary radio parts.
