The only thing that comes to mind right away is an "archetypal" example on
the "theme of exploitation": see A. Blok's poem "V sosednem dome okna
zhelty, / po vecheram, po vecheram/ skripiat zadumchivye bolty/ podkhodiat
liudi k vorotam...." etc. I think the title IS, actually, "Fabrika."
I don't remember the year but it's easy to check.
Good luck,
