Chainsaws began to think of Boris Kabur 1947th while in prison camp.

Functional assembly of the saw, the Soviet Ministry of Forest Industries Erikonstrueerimisbüroos - so called camp, which was referred to scientists involved in disfavour - the time for years. If the saw finally managed to go out of their hands to work Kabur was named Thailand. However, the machine went into production under the name of the Druzhba instead. "They were, after all, prisoners and many of them depended on it," sighs Kaburile stood near the man.

Felling of trees much easier to have probably saved hundreds of chainsaw logging with to men's lives. "In later years, received a thank-you letters Kabur many survivors."

Rational person and a good peastarvutajana Kabur examined in a prison camp, too, whether it is beneficial to meet and get a päevatöönorm täisportsjon bread or labor standards and agree to meet half of bread. It was found that less work and less bread, give a greater guarantee of escape from death.

"A good tone to the famous, the Russians must win in places, but the Poles were spitefully. Kabur was quite frightened, and spent all his prize money for making it." Druzhba used to catch on. "When we went on market, the village men were stopped and told us that, though a good saw. He was obviously pleased, but he was also surprised that so long as it was attached to the saw behind. She thought it was a little bizarre."

Kaburil omaleiutatud catch myself before. Were not needed. Although he enjoyed, through the living body of work done by people with an ax chop wood.
