Story

House in Miass
It was founded in 1773 as a copper smelter.[ citation needed

] In the 19th century, development was driven by the discovery of the richest gold deposits in the Urals.
The average annual gold production in the Miass region was about 640 kilograms (1,410 lb). In the mid-19th century, the volume of gold mining decreased, and the development of Miass also slowed down. Miass received city status in 1923.[ citation needed
] In 1941, an automobile plant (still operating as UralAZ) was built.

City infrastructure

The utility fee for a two-room apartment with two registered apartments ranges from 3.5 thousand in winter to 1.6 thousand in summer. There are no problems with heating, cold-hot water or electricity. However, we won’t say that everything is rosy and wonderful. For example, in Mashgorodok and the village of Stroiteley, hot water periodically flows of terrible quality, with a disgusting smell of rot.

City authorities explain this by old problems with wastewater treatment plants, but this does not make it any easier for residents, because sometimes they have to take a shower without holding their nose.

Playground

The central roads in the city are quite decent, but it is better to walk around the courtyards rather than drive a car; only an SUV can drive through continuous potholes. But there are no traffic jams at all.

Trolleybuses run from the station along the main street, Avtozavodtsev Avenue. There are only two routes: one of them (No. 4), after passing Avtozavod, turns to the village of Stroiteley, the other (No. 3) goes to Mashgorodok. The main burden of transporting passengers is taken on by minibuses.

At the exit from the railway station

There are enough kindergartens and schools in Miass so that your child can go to kindergarten and school wherever you want. Of course, the best schools admit students on a competitive basis. First of all, this applies to Lyceum No. 6 and Gymnasium No. 4, the most prestigious schools in the city. However, if you are not confident in your child’s strengths or his desire to learn, it is better to choose schools that are more comfortable for a child’s life, where at least the child will have vacations, and not continuous Olympiads, seminars, scientific societies, etc.

Among the secondary specialized educational institutions of the city are a geological exploration college, a pedagogical college, a music college, and several technical colleges. There are two higher educational institutions: branches of the South Ural State University and Chelyabinsk State University, as well as a representative office of the Chelyabinsk Pedagogical University.

There are two local TV channels in Miass, Miass-TV and Ekran-TV, and the city press is represented by two newspapers - “Miasssky Rabochiy” and “Glagol”.

Economics and education

Currently, Miass is a major machine-building center. Truck manufacturer UralAZ is one of its most important factories.

UralAZ

UralAZ produces multi-axle all-wheel drive off-road trucks and exports 8% of trucks. UralAZ was included in the ranking of the 200 largest companies in Russia in 2000 in terms of sales volume, employing 105,000 people. It was founded in 1942, when the ZiS plant was evacuated from Moscow during World War II

State Missile Center

The Makeev Missile Design Bureau creates ballistic missiles for submarines. In 1955 it was moved from Zlatoust, where it was founded in 1947, to Miass.

Enterprises and work in Miass

The city-forming enterprises are the already mentioned URALAZ automobile plant and the Makeev GRC. Both enterprises are operating very successfully, despite the recent crisis. From time to time, rumors creep around the city about global layoffs, almost about the shutdown of these enterprises, but rumors are rumors, and there are job vacancies at them.

UralAZ

Other large enterprises of the city are Miasselektroapparat, NPO Electromechaniki, Miass Machine-Building, TREC. There are many enterprises engaged in the production of furniture, the main ones among them are Miass Kitchens LLC (Lorena) and Ivkor.

The average monthly salary of employees of large and medium-sized enterprises in 2011 was just over 20 thousand rubles. By the end of 2011, the city's employment center recognized about two thousand unemployed, and more than 5 thousand announced vacancies from employers.

Tourism

In the old part of the city there are wooden houses from the 19th century with original balconies, jambs, and lintels. The house of the manager of the gold mine, Simonov, has also been preserved.

Lake Turgoyak is located near Miass and is a popular tourist destination with crystal clear water.

Miass has a rich mineralogical museum, as it is located near the Ilmensky Mineral Reserve.

To the east of Miass is the Ilmensky Nature Reserve, a large protected forest. Not far from the forest, trails lead to fresh water springs.

Ecology and climate of Miass

The Golden Valley in which Miass is located is called Ural Switzerland. The most beautiful time is early autumn, when the mixed forests of the slopes of the Ural Mountains give an amazing picture: birch trees turn yellow and against the backdrop of evergreen pines they look like a leopard skin. This is a country of mountains and lakes.

Turgoyak is the pearl of the Urals, the second cleanest lake in Russia, after Baikal. The area of ​​the lake is 26.4 sq. km, the length of the coastline is 27 km. Endorheic lake of tectonic origin. Radon springs make its water not only clean, but also cold. But there are plenty of warmer lakes around: Ilmen, Kisegach, Inyshka, Terenkul, Elovoe, Kusykul, Argazi.

Turgoyak

The Ilmensky State Nature Reserve is located in the Miass urban district, which already says a lot about the ecology of the city and the region. Almost the only air polluter is the Ural Automobile Plant, one of the city's city-forming enterprises. But it clearly cannot cope with the task of pollution.

Automobile plant

Clean mountain air, filled with the aroma of pine forests, makes this place a real resort, albeit with somewhat harsh weather. The climate is temperate continental. The average temperature in winter is minus 15, although there are frosts of 35. The average summer temperature is plus 20, although in recent years the summer has become warmer and warmer; the heat can remain over 30 degrees for a week or two.

The main environmental problem is the littering of lake shores by tourists. A series of environmental raids are usually carried out in May and September to clear the coastal strip of debris, but the problem remains.

On the shores of the lake you can find something different

According to the event organizers, festival participants were attacked by up to 100 men armed with batons and traumatic pistols. According to various sources, from ten to 30 people were injured. Thirteen people were charged. Three of them are accused of organizing mass riots, as well as committing actions aimed at inciting hatred or enmity, using violence, organized by a group.
