A Ukraine Factory That Can’t Close, and Workers Who Won’t Quit

nytimes.com - AVDIIVKA, Ukraine — The armored Mercedes-Benz pulled up to a factory chimney discharging an endless column of milk-white steam and out stepped Musa Magomedov, the broad-shouldered, bespectacled 45-year-old general director of the Avdiivka Coke and Steel plant.

“When the bombing started he did everything right, he ran for the nearest tunnel,” Mr. Magomedov said, standing on the spot where a young mechanic and father of two had died in a Feb. 4 rocket strike, five strides from safety. “We tried to fix him up, but he died in the ambulance before he could reach the hospital.”
