Bor miners enjoy special sta- tus of proudness in the town. However, the existing produc- tion capacity is not sufficient to provide work for everybody, so many must wait and see what happens. Though local people know that economic conditions can only improve, they are suf- ficiently realistic to understand there is no chance of an im­ mediate recovery. The dark side of the moon spreads its shadow, forcing them to be patient, and it may well keep spreading for some time.
