The famous Dnieper Dam, which was destroyed by the Russians during the darkest days of the war rather than let it fall into the German hands, is rapidly taking shape again, as the Soviet engineers rush reconstruction. The upper photo shows the penstock being restored. Containers of concrete, moved into position by the work train, are lifted by the crane and dumped into forms. The lower photo shows F. T. Loginov left, chief of the construction, reporting on progress to D. G. Zhimerin, Minister of Power Stations of the U.S.S.R. The Dnieper. Dam furnished water power to generate electricity to serve Industrial centres and farms throughout the Ukraine.
