Default Nicest factory in the world?????

EnglishRussia for those that dont know has millions of photos both old and new from all over Russia and its former satellite states.
Usually there is tons of pictures of abandoned and dangerous worksites which would make you cringe.... but...

I had to share this link.... It doesnt say where exactly this factory is, but you have to say this is the most impressive factory workplace i have ever seen.

Even the guard house gets the "arty" treatment.....

Maybe they took a leaf out of the Ferrari Factory layout....heaps of natural lighting and a bit a greenery in the factory.

When they are not making pipes they could always hire the place out as a sci fi movie set. Awesome.

I have been on that site for over 2yrs now and never a drama, however some of the links which appear at the bottom of every page (all the links to other websites full of photos) are certainly sus and had caused me a drama once before.

I first went on EnglishRussia about 3 years ago. It has had some very interesting things on it, but I haven't visted for over a year.

That factory is interesting, Russia seams like an overall dreary and gray place. To see so many bright colours at once is weird.
