It's good! It means people are working!

This is the smokestack of the NKMZ factory in Kramatorsk. The company produces mining equipment; metallurgy equipment; rolling mills, forges, blast furnaces, ore crushers, and presses. It is also the origin of the constant grey haze that is part of the local experience. I have no idea what kinds of toxic, carcinogenic crap that haze is composed of, but if you are downwind of it, and it belches that poison 24/7, It burns the eyes, noses and throats of all who encounter it. When I asked Cousin Lucy about it and commented that it can't be good (The local life expectancy for men is 52 years), she made this hissing noise and then laughed and said "хороший! Он значит что люди работает!" Which translates to "It's good! It means people are working!" Talk about your deal with the devil.....
