Interesting facts about Zielonka

For the birth of the Soviet Union Zelenka - a symbol of undying faith and confident prosperity. Zelenka was (and still is somewhere anywhere) the universal tool to combat a variety of diseases.

The resourceful father of a sudden experiment "squeeze" the practical benefits and opened a factory for the production of aniline dyes.
