The Mirny Diamond Mine is located in Eastern Siberia and is the second largest manmade hole in the world, the first being the Bingham Copper Mine in Utah. The hole was constructed by the orders of Stalin to fulfil the Soviet Union’s demand for industrial grade diamonds after the war. It is claimed that the airspace above the mine is off limits to helicopters and the reason being is that, apparently, there have been “a few accidents when they were ‘sucked in’ by downward air flow.” The mine was left abandoned when it became too difficult to dig any deeper.
"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
