In the cycle "Polar Research" on the first Arctic TV channel of Russia "Yamal-Region" two more programs were shown with employees of PJSC Lengiprotrans (part of the 1520 Group of Companies): "Geologist for the Calling of the Soul" and "Dead Road. The right to live".
In the first - Viktor Nikolaevich Kretov, honorary employee of PJSC Lengiprotrans, formerly chief specialist in engineering geology, talks about unforgettable expeditions in the Arkhangelsk region, in Western Siberia, on the Yamal Peninsula. For several years, he led geological teams in the permafrost zone, where the laying of railways is particularly difficult. He told his interesting memories to reporters.
The second program is dedicated to the northernmost railway. The idea of a great Northern route along the coast of the polar seas appeared in the Russian Empire at the dawn of the development of railway transport. In the program, the employees of PJSC Lengiprotrans talk about how the survey was carried out, the project of the northernmost polar road in the world was developed and implemented. Almost built, it was abandoned in the middle of the twentieth century and received the name "Dead". Today we are talking about its revival.
