I wondering whether you know that Petlyakov himself designed his V I-100 and its derivate Pe-2 in that ‘cozy’ place?
Yes at least I know and I believe that many members of this forum also do.
About 1000 scientists of all banches of science was forced to work in so called "Special Designing Offices" later called 4th Special Faculty of NKVD" during Stalin era. Tupolev, Glushko, Korolev, Petliakov are the most famous who suffered during purges.
