The words painted on the grey rock of Pursei Point announced that here the Bratsk power station would be built.  Soon work was in full swing and the roar of the Angara rapids was drowned by the din of bulldozers and the hum of helicopters.  Then a few years later…

… the giant dam spanned the river.  The Bratsk and (shortly to be commissioned) Krasnoyarsk power stations are the biggest in the world.  But not for long: soon even bigger power stations will be built on the Yenisei and the lower reaches of the Lena, bringing more heat and warmth to this harsh land.
