During the Great Patriotic War, there were 3 enterprises of strategic importance in Myshkin: the Udarnik artel, the Path to Victory artel, and the 3rd Five-Year Plan artel. Women and children worked on them around the clock. Thousands of pairs of felt boots, camouflage coats, parachutes, gymnasts, hand grenade bags, and warm-up jackets went to the front, made with the love and warmth of Myshkin women.
