Books on KMZ, origin of KMZ

I've just added some stuff from the book by "HPR". I imagine that Princelle's book is more authoritative, but I don't have a copy.

The article now starts by saying that:

The predecessor of Krasnogorski Mekhanicheskii Zavod (Красногорский механический завод) – Kransnogrosk Mechanical Works or KMZ – was founded as Krasnogorsk Optical Works in 1942 in Sverdlovsk in the Urals

This is actually a mishmash of what was previously in the article (and may or may not have come from Princelle's book) and what's in HPR's. I find it very hard to believe that the "Krasnogorsk" anything started off with that name in Sverdlovsk. In his English text -- I'm not competent to read the German, which may be easier to follow -- HPR doesn't clearly say this; he suggests that it started in Krasnogorsk but immediately went to Sverdlovsk. Somebody with access to Princelle's book (or of course a more authoritative alternative) is welcome to rewrite accordingly. But please, let's say which information comes from where.

Continuing Zenit production?

At some unknown date, an editor added that Zenit production had recently resumed and implied that it was continuing. Who knows when? It would be good to have this vagueness (and perhaps unintended misinformation) cleared up. Zuleika 20:24, 6 April 2011 (PDT)
