Donbass, Yenakievo Metallurgical Plant

Comrades Gubkin, Bychkov, and all workers, engineers, and technical staff

I congratulate the workers, engineers, and technical staff of the Yenakievo Metallurgical Plant on the successful restoration and launch of the open-hearth furnace ahead of schedule.

Your accomplishment demonstrates the heroic labor of the Donbas workers and represents a major contribution to the restoration of the country's ferrous metallurgy.

I wish you further success.
