Krasnouralsk

(Russian: Krasnouralsk) is a town in Sverdlovsk region, Russia. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 24,980.[2]

Story

The first settlement on the site of the future Krasnouralsk was formed in 1832. At first, the residents' efforts were aimed at meeting the needs of factories and preparing charcoal. In the 1820s, gold mining began on the Salda River and its sources: more than 100 mines were opened. In 1843, deposits of copper pyrite were discovered on the Kushayka River. And in 1875, the development of ore gold began in the mines of the merchant I.P. Bogomolov, after whom the famous Bogomolovskoye copper-pyrite deposit was later named.[12] In 1925, construction of the country’s largest copper smelter began on the basis of the Bogomolovskoye deposit, in connection with the start of development of the Krasnogvardeyskoye copper ore deposit, along with which the construction of a workers’ village of the same name began. and the construction of a smelter, the village of Bogomolstroy was founded. In 1929 it was renamed Uralmedstroy (Russian: Uralmedstroy).[ citation needed

] In 1931, the plant was put into operation.
In 1931, Uralmedstroy received workers' settlement status and was renamed Krasnouralsk.[ citation needed
] Received city status in 1932.[13]

At the time construction began, “there were only three residential buildings at the Krasnogvardeisky mine and two houses at Kushayk. At the XVI Party Congress, one of the leaders of the economic complex of the Ural region V.N. Andronikov complained about pests, in particular, about the delay in the launch of the Krasnouralsk plant.[14]

Krasnouralsk included a metallurgical plant village and two mining villages, Krasnogvardeisky and Novo-Levinsky, located in close proximity. All these villages and industrial facilities (to which should be added the chemical plant under construction) constituted a single city.

Construction of a modern city

The city center was a rectangular factory square formed by Lenin and Kirov streets and stretching from northwest to southeast. A three-story factory building and factory passages overlooked the square from the southeast. Around the square, judging by the not entirely correct radial arrangement of the beams, there is a factory village, completely built in the 30s of the last century. And almost completely (minus, of course, the barracks buildings) have been preserved to this day, right down to utility sheds in the courtyards of two-story houses.

The public infrastructure was located in the southern part of the city in relation to the factory territory, along two streets leading to the Mednaya station - Sovetskaya and Kalinin.

The city council, bank, technical school, bathhouse, and department store were located here. The surviving capital buildings are two-story, since there were no three-story residential buildings in Krasnouralsk, with the exception of a large engineering building in the northern part.

It was assumed that the socialist city would be completed simultaneously with the plant. Social and cultural construction was planned according to the capital construction plan for 1931[15]

As in most cases at other construction sites, preparing the plant for the start absorbed all the resources and strength of the builders. Housing and communal services were abandoned. In 1931, the Krasnouralsk water supply system with a length of 11 km to the city of the Tura River was put into operation.

On November 14, 1931, a large editorial appeared in the Gigant newspaper: “The socialist plant needs a socialist city.” Determination of current construction tasks. In 1931, plans were made to add 60 houses, a clubhouse, a bathhouse, a public works station and a department store. In 1932, 125 new houses, sewerage, public workplace No. 2, two cinema clubs, a laundry, a kitchen factory, a hospital campus, several canteens, kindergartens and nurseries).[16]

The Second World War

At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, construction of a chemical plant began on the territory of Krasnouralsk. On instructions from the government, in the last month of the summer of 1941, a defense workshop was built, within the walls of which shells for Katyusha were made. Krasnouralsk residents replenished the country's defense fund by 27 million rubles, which were used for the construction of the Krasnouralsky Master and Soviet Copper aircraft, as well as for air traffic in Krasnouralsk.

Postwar

On July 30, 1957, to better organize the work of all production units, the Krasnouralsk Copper Smelter was created, uniting the Krasnouralsk Ore, Chemical and Copper Combines. Georgy Baiderin was appointed head of the plant. In 1993, the city-forming enterprise was transformed into OJSC Svyatogor as part of UMMC-Holding.

On February 1, 1963, the Council of Workers' Deputies of the city of Krasnouralsk was subordinated to the Sverdlovsk Regional Council of Workers' Deputies.[17].
