The team is the first to have achieved such a result across the operations of SUEK, Kuzbass and the entire coal industry of Russia.

The face is equipped with 174 upgraded roof-supports by DBT (Germany) and the state-of-the-art coal cutting and hauling machinery including a long wall conveyor, a load handler, a crusher, and the high-performance shearer 7LS6S (JOY).

Vladimir Berezovsky team holds the current All-Russia record in winning coal from a single face in a month: in March 2013, the team produced 1,007,000 tonnes of coal.
