The Brigade of N. Iliev (Dimitrov) participate in the rescue operations of extracting trapped miners. For active production, public-political activity and for devotion over 30 years of work underground with Ukaz #1380 of 26th August 1970 N. Iliev was awarded with the Title "Hero Of Socialist Labour".
