Nice collective hive effort everyone!
Why would you put bricks in a warehouse? Pigeons steal them for their nests?And, conjecturing again, could be not the works, but the warehouse of the manufactured bricks... The streets/roads around suggest that...
You don't manufacture one, or a hundred, or a thousand bricks and then send them to the brickshop. You receive argile by tons and manufacture them bricks, and then you send them where are needed or demanded. In the interim, you put in a wharehouse. I've worked in building business. Try to buy a brick by the unit!...Why would you put bricks in a warehouse? Pigeons steal them for their nests?

I don't disagree that you have to store them. But I think they might do ok if left out in the rain.You don't manufacture one, or a hundred, or a thousand bricks and then send them to the brickshop.

No theft in a worker's paradise. That's a problem in capitalist society.So people don't steal them
Yeah, who ever heard of a Soviet prison, eh.No theft in a worker's paradise.

Not really, and it depends of the argile. And we're talking of 1940s, not now. Some typesof argile need air (but not water) to dry off completely, and could be that the bricks didn't exit the factory totally dried. That's for the brickworks I've seen are opened at the sides...I don't disagree that you have to store them. But I think they might do ok if left out in the rain.

No one, that is how the word "gulag" entered the English lexicon.Yeah, who ever heard of a Soviet prison, eh.
Yes it is that structure in the top right.The second picture, top right. I think this is the structure from a diffrent angle.

On this page is the original photo - Factory District.You have a better link to the photo?
If it is the quarry, then the area would produce my estimate of 500,000 to 600,000 bricks per three inches of depth (Russian bricks are about 10"x4.5"x2.75". So a depth of 5 feet or so would have yielded 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 bricks.Yes I was thinking something like a curved roof. A guy on FB showed another photo of the area and this time it looks like a depression. It could be the brick works quarry. A mystery.
It's hard to say that without knowing the area of the excavation. I am sure this estimate varies by acreage (or bricks are somehow dimensionally transcendental like the Tardis -- jimIf it is the quarry, then the area would produce my estimate of 500,000 to 600,000 bricks per three inches of depth (Russian bricks are about 10"x4.5"x2.75".

All my references indicate that it's part of the brick factory. And, if you look at the buildings around defined as complex "brickworks", in fact this structure could be the main brick factory. It has a pier near, which could be convenient. At any case, no depression or stadium. It's about 200 m long and about 100 m wide.
