MOVING 660 VILLAGES
An immense task faces the Volga Reconstruction Trust in Russia. It is to move, in the next two years, 660 villages and several towns lying in the area of over a million acres of land to be submerged in the making of vast reservoirs. Those reservoirs will be formed when the two dams now under construction 011 the Volga River are finished. Last year 7000 households were moved and this summer 3500 more will leave their old home for new ones.
