Virtual Kamensk Ural official. About the city

The history of Kamensk-Uralsky began in the era of Peter the Great. In 1700, the war with Sweden began, so the issue of creating a domestic industry became a pressing issue. Central Russia had depleted its ore resources, and Peter turned his gaze to the Urals. On June 8, 1700, the foundation stone of the Kamensky iron foundry took place. The first melting at the plant took place on October 15, 1701; it was from this time that the Kamensk plant appeared on the map of the Russian state.

In 1702-1709, about 854 cannons weighing 45 pounds, cannonballs, bombs and grenades were cast at the plant. The guns were considered the longest-range, given their target range of 250 meters. Kamensk guns took part in the Battle of Poltava and other battles. Experts argued that Ural metal, thanks to Ural ore, is not inferior to Swedish metal, which was considered the best in the world. For almost a hundred years, the Kamensk plant provided the Russian army with cannons and cannonballs.

At the end of the 19th century, the metallurgical plant lost its position as a major supplier of metal due to primitive equipment. In 1926, the iron foundry with a production history of more than two hundred years was closed. Kamensk was already becoming more of a merchant village: there was an oil mill, a tannery, a shoe factory, a porcelain tableware production and a gingerbread establishment.

The 20th century was marked by the construction of the Ural aluminum smelter in Kamensk, and in 1939 the first aluminum was produced. During the war, UAZ produced aluminum pipes for tanks, cartridge belts, and artillery shells for the front. In 1935, the village of Kamensk was awarded the title of the city of Kamensk, in 1940 the city was renamed Kamensk-Uralsky.

The new city began with the construction of settlements of UAZ factories and a pipe plant in the difficult post-war years. Modern Kamensk-Uralsky ranks third in population in the Sverdlovsk region after Yekaterinburg and Nizhny Tagil. This is a large industrial center with a total area of ​​142 square meters. meters, located 100 kilometers southeast of Yekaterinburg in places with picturesque nature. Today, 171.5 thousand residents live here.

Climate and ecology of Kamensk-Uralsky

The climate in the city area is moderate continental. The Siberian anticyclone sweeps into the city like a whirlwind in winter, bringing with it frosty weather.

In 2006, in the middle of winter, frosts reached -40 degrees, with violent snowstorms adding to the load. People left home only to work and buy groceries. Although the average annual temperature in winter (in January) is considered to be −16.2 °C. Recent winters have been relatively warm, up to above-zero temperatures.

But in the summer, starting from 2010, apparently due to global cataclysms, there has been an abnormal heat that old-timers do not remember. The average annual July temperature here is +23.9 °C. In 2010, even in August the temperature reached +38-40 °C: the asphalt melted, the number of crises increased, and the suffering of pregnant women increased. In June 2012, everything happened again: for about a month, the population was saved only by the water, fortunately there are enough lakes in the area: Chervyanoye, Sungul, and the Silikatny quarry are very popular in such terrible heat.

It must be admitted that precipitation falls on the heads of citizens not only in the form of rain. The ecological situation of the city is considered unfavorable due to pollution of the urban atmosphere by the city's industrial enterprises. From year to year, people’s living conditions become unsafe for the health of city residents: the morbidity rate of the population is growing, the quality of drinking water and food products grown on local soil, generously supplied with other fertilizers in the form of a high content of heavy metals, is deteriorating.

13 enterprises discharge wastewater into the Iset River and its tributaries. The Iset River has long been considered unsuitable even for swimming, but local fishermen stubbornly fish here, and it is they who periodically find schools of dead fish. The press is given a version of the death of the fish called “Heat, lack of oxygen under water, the fish were cooked.”

Six main industrial enterprises of the city are the main polluters of the environment in the city of Kamensk-Uralsky:

• OJSC “SUAL” branch “UAZ-SUAL”;
• JSC Sinarsky Pipe Plant (JSC Sinarsky Pipe Plant);
• OJSC Kamensk-Ural Metallurgical Plant (OJSC KUMZ);
• FSUE PO “October”;
• OJSC “KUZOTsM”;
• LLC "SUAL - Kremniy - Ural".

Emissions from the city's motor vehicles contribute 26 percent of the city's gross air pollution load, while the rest - 74 percent - comes from industrial enterprises.

Population of Kamensk-Uralsky

The number of residents of the Kamensky settlement increased from 5 thousand people in 1926 to 51 thousand people. in 1939. Population growth reached its maximum in 1989 (208.7 thousand people), and this figure has gradually decreased over the past decades.

The demographic jump became noticeable after the publication of the decree on maternity capital: in 2008, 2,184 babies were born, and in 2011 – already 2,334. However, the natural population growth is minus: the number of deaths exceeds the number of births. One of the causes of population mortality is the increase in the number of cancer diseases due to poor ecology. The city has the highest cancer incidence rate in the region. 250 patients receive this diagnosis every month at the local cancer clinic. Almost half of the cases have an advanced nature of the disease.

Today, the number of occupational diseases has increased at industrial enterprises of Kamensk-Uralsky. The most common are silicosis and pneumoconiosis, which are caused by exposure of the human body to dust with a high concentration of crystalline silicon dioxide.

The main ethnic composition of the population consists of Russians and Tatars. But recently, a large number of migrants from Central Asia and the Caucasian republics have supplanted the Russian backbone of the townspeople, and more and more kids with black eyes are running around the streets. Their parents work mainly in the local market, although many of them go to enterprises in those professions where Russians do not want to work for meager wages: watchmen, loaders, laborers.

There are 58.6 thousand pensioners in the city, with 25.1 thousand people. are actively working. Young people don’t go to work for low-paying jobs, so pensioners are happy to continue their work experience (who doesn’t need an extra penny?). It must be admitted that young people strive to improve their education and study in seven higher educational institutions (branches, representative offices of universities) - 2393 students, and in eleven secondary specialized institutions (colleges) - 4952 students.

Districts and real estate of Kamensk-Uralsky

Kamensk-Uralsky is divided by the Iset River, on different banks of which the administrative districts are located: Sinarsky and Krasnogorsky. A metal bridge built in 1957 connects the two areas.

Sinarsky district (in Kamensk slang “Sinara”) consists of several microdistricts:

• the village of Leninsky, the villages of Olimpiysky and Pervomaisky;
• Old Kamensk, Trubny village, Oktyabrsky village;
• the villages of Mirny, Severny, Khozspob, the villages of Novy Zavod and Kodinka.

The village of Leninsky, which is located between the Kamenka and Iset rivers, is considered by residents of Kamensk-Uralsky to be the third district of the city, although Leninsky is part of the Sinarsky district. This village is located far from the center, at the exit from the city along the highway to Yekaterinburg and bears the glory of being an independent town.

Right behind the line of houses in the village, a forest begins (a pine forest where residents pick mushrooms in the summer). It has its own recreation center “Sovremennik”, schools, the OCM plant, where mainly “Leninists” work, and kindergartens. Recently, due to the shortage of kindergartens, mothers in the Leninsky village have been taking their children to kindergartens in the center of the Sinarsky district. To get there by public transport (buses) and on foot, the trip will take about an hour. Real estate in the area is estimated at about 1-1.3 million rubles. for a two-room apartment. The residential area of ​​the village ends with the new shopping and entertainment center "KIT".

The Leninsky village is adjacent to the old part of the city, called Old Kamensk, which is located between the Iset and Kamenka rivers. Old Kamensk is considered the historical center of the city, where the history of the Kamensky settlement began. Therefore, you can study the entire history of Kamensk-Uralsky at the local local history museum. I.Ya. Styazhkin, where earlier in the 19th century the office of the iron foundry was located.

The village is mainly built up with wooden one-story houses built before the revolution; there are many architectural monuments here. The valuation of real estate in this area (private house) ranges from 500 thousand rubles. up to 6 million rubles Founded in 1991, the famous bell factory of Nikolai Pyatkov (the only one in the Urals) is located in the old part of the city and today is considered the second among bell casting enterprises in Russia.

The Pipe Village includes the villages of Baraba and Sotsgorod STZ. On the territory of the Trubnoy village there is a Perinatal Center, an exhibition hall, and Uralelectromash CJSC.

Baraba is a modern village, consisting mainly of nine- and ten-story buildings, which were built in the post-Soviet period and replaced wooden private houses. The name of the village, apparently, comes historically from the Barabinsk steppe, from where workers came to Kamenka.

The social city of STZ began as a social city of the Sinarsky Pipe Plant, a district of Pipe Plant workers with its hospitals, parks, and a palace of culture. Today, real estate in the form of a two-room apartment is valued at 1.4 - 1.5 million rubles. throughout the Trubnoy village. The SinTZ OJSC plant owns the Sports Palace, the SinTZ Palace of Culture, and a stadium.

Oktyabrsky village is the largest village in the city, the center of Kamensk-Uralsky. The name comes from the FSUE PO Oktyabr enterprise, around which the village was formed. On Leninsky Komsomol Square (formerly Voronyatskaya Gora) there is the city administration building, a branch of the Ural State Technical University, and the building of the Social and Cultural Center. A two-room apartment in the area can be purchased for between 1.3 and 1.5 million rubles. In the area there are also the Iset factories, the KULZ OJSC foundry, a train station, and a bus station. The main street is Pobeda Avenue.

The population of the village has increased significantly in recent years due to the influx of migrants, mainly trading in the local market. Immigrants from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and the Caucasian republics rent or buy apartments and give birth to children, who increase the queue of indigenous children in kindergartens.

The most neglected object in the area can be considered the former Cosmos Park, beloved by townspeople as a weekend destination. A stream of children happily flocked there to ride the attractions: the Ferris Wheel, children's and adults' chain carousels, and the "Airplanes" attraction. During the Soviet years, the park belonged to a foundry, but with the onset of the crisis in the 90s, the plant was unable to maintain the park. The facility was transferred to the city. Gradually, all the attractions that consumed the lion's share of the city budget were dismantled, and now the territory is indistinguishable from the rest of the forest park. Only concrete pedestals overgrown with grass remind of the past. Only the stadium of the same name is open.

In July of this year, news appeared that the regional authorities were going to carry out an act of improvement of abandoned parks in the Middle Urals. Perhaps we will see the former holiday park from a new perspective. Let's see what comes of this.

The village of Khozsposob does not have any enterprises on its territory, only a former military unit (airfield). It is considered a not entirely prosperous area: some of the residents ended up here due to exchange or sale for smaller living space. The abbreviated popular name of the village is “Hebe”. In the village there are only private houses, as well as cottage buildings. A private house is valued at about 3.5 - 4 million rubles.

Krasnogorsk district. The name of the area comes from the name of the village of Krasnaya Gorka, which was flooded by the Volkovsky reservoir at the beginning of the 20th century. The central street of the district, Aluminum, which begins at the entrance to the UAZ plant, stretches for several kilometers. The Krasnogorsk district includes the following territories: Sotsgorod UAZ, Yuzhny microdistrict, 49th quarter, 10th kilometer, Silikatny village, Chkalova village.

UAZ is the second largest along with the Oktyabrsky district. The development of the area began as a social city of the UAZ plant in the 30s of the 20th century. Sotsgorod is a settlement of a Soviet city, in which the main street leads from the factory entrance to the Palace of Culture. After the war, the construction of the UAZ social town continued: sculptures, fountains, houses with columns, porticos, pilasters, and other architectural excesses.

The population of the region mainly works at the Ural Aluminum Plant, this is very prestigious (the salaries at the plant are decent) and getting a job at the plant is very problematic. In the historical area of ​​Gorky Square, apartments of the “old type” predominate in Soviet neoclassical buildings (ceiling height is 3 m compared to 2.5 m in the Khrushchev-era apartment buildings on Oktyabrsky). Buying a two-room apartment will cost 1.1-1.5 million rubles.

An ancient landmark of the Krasnogorsk region is the first wide-format cinema with 800 seats, “Yubileiny” (1968), which hosted meetings with film screenings of many famous film actors of the Soviet period, and tickets were sold out in advance. It was impossible to imagine that the favorite place for watching movies, a beautiful building, would stand abandoned for many years and would eventually be sold by the city administration to private hands for 8.3 million rubles for the reconstruction of the building into a shopping center.

There are many large enterprises of the city in this area: UAZ, KUMZ, CHPP, reinforced concrete plant, Stroymontazhkonstruktsiya, branches of the Ural Institute of Economics, Management and Law, Ural State Economic University.

The Yuzhny microdistrict began to be built up in the 80s of the twentieth century.

Most of the buildings in the microdistrict are nine-story buildings, high-rise buildings of 10-12-16 floors, apartments with loggias. Today about 10 thousand people live here, mostly young families. This modern residential complex has the highest housing prices: a two-room apartment costs 1.6 - 1.8 million rubles.

Behind the Yuzhny microdistrict towards the village. Martyush, the houses of the cottage community already make up an entire street.

The village of Silikatny is located on the outskirts of the city, behind the social city of UAZ and the village of Chkalova. The village received its name from the previously operating Silikatny plant. After it stopped, a silicate quarry remained at the site of sand-lime brick production, consisting of several lakes - a favorite place for swimming and relaxing for townspeople in hot weather. A two-room apartment in the village can be bought for only 900 thousand rubles.

The village of Chkalova is located 6 km from the city center, behind the socialist town of UAZ. 10 thousand inhabitants live here. A two-room apartment is estimated at RUB 850 thousand. up to 1.2 million rubles Perhaps the lowest cost of housing in the city is due not only to the remoteness of the area, but also to the recognition of the area as environmentally unfavorable due to emissions from industrial enterprises KUMZ, UAZ, CHPP, etc.

City infrastructure

In Kamensk-Uralsky, the main share of the housing stock (80%) is occupied by the private sector. In post-war Kamensk there were two-, three-, four-story houses, but mostly corridor-type barracks and private houses. The city began to be built with high-rise buildings in the 70s; in total there are just over two thousand. In the place where the city’s central street, Pobeda Avenue, is located, there used to be wastelands and swamps. Today it is a huge residential area with beautiful modern buildings of banks, shopping centers, and multi-storey buildings. Average cost of 1 sq. m of area 31.8 thousand rubles.

Utility tariffs are periodically criticized by residents, especially when the next increase takes place. And yet, the majority of them regularly pay for their living space (96.6%).

Every year, major repairs of houses are carried out in order of priority: for example, a house built in 1964 is considered very young, so the turn for major repairs (for the first time) comes only in 2007, when there are already several clamps on the sewer pipes. There’s nothing to be done, we all went through queues in the 80s: for sausage, for furniture, for sneakers.

Every year in the summer, residents have to wash themselves in basins for 2-3 weeks: again, it’s time to turn off the hot water with good intentions to repair the dilapidated heating system, which will break somewhere during the year, again with the water supply turned off.

The total length of city roads is 248 km. One of the pressing problems for motorists is the condition of roads. The routes Chelyabinsk - Yekaterinburg and Kurgan - Yekaterinburg pass through the city, and every year the asphalt concrete pavement of the busiest highways, Pobeda Avenue, is overhauled to the intersection of Kadochnikov and Dobrolyubova streets, on the approaches to the bridge over the Iset. The bridge is the only automobile isthmus connecting two large districts of the city. If an accident occurs here, a traffic jam forms that cannot be avoided. It is planned to build a new bridge that will connect the Yuzhny microdistrict and Stary Kamensk, and this project is estimated at billions of rubles, which do not yet exist. There are 35,176 registered passenger vehicles in the city.

Public transport is represented by 140 transport buses and trolleybuses on 16 routes. When the roadway near the bridge connecting the Sinarsky and Krasnogorsky districts is being repaired, trolleybus traffic freezes. Previously, until 2009, there were also minibus taxis that raced against competitors and stopped on demand at any turn, but due to the large number of accidents involving them, they were banned. The fare is 18 rubles.

The number of official passenger taxi cars is 29 units, and there are much more unofficial ones. You can come home from the restaurant from the Krasnogorsk district to the Leninsky village for only 250 rubles.

In Kamensk-Uralsky, much attention is paid to the education of children. There are 27 secondary schools in the city, including one evening school. 60 percent of schools have been in operation for more than 50 years. There is a big problem in the city with preschool institutions. In the 90s, the buildings of the empty kindergartens were sold into private hands, three buildings were occupied by the health administration and the education department. The baby boom forced us to look at the problem differently: decisions were made to build new and reconstruct old kindergarten buildings. There are 63 kindergartens in the city, however, as of July 1, 2012, 4,859 preschool children remained at home without receiving a place in kindergarten. The mayor personally monitors the construction and reconstruction of the gardens. The first new kindergarten was opened in 2010 in the Sinarsky district, OJSC Sinarsky Plant contributed a share in its construction, receiving places for the children of its employees as a benefit. Today, the construction of a kindergarten for 125 places in the same area is being completed (shared construction with the Oktyabr Production Association), a new private kindergarten will soon open in the Krasnogorsk district, and 3 more kindergartens are being reconstructed.

In addition to kindergartens, children's playgrounds are being built very quickly in the city. According to the residents of the house, the site is built in a day or two, which the children are very happy about during the summer holidays and the grannies in the yard are not very happy about (there is squealing and squeaking all day long, and the windows are open until night in the summer). True, the old playgrounds are already falling into disrepair, and no one is repairing them, so, unfortunately, injuries to children still happen here.

Enterprises and work in Kamensk-Uralsky

In the city's economy, the leading industrial positions are occupied by non-ferrous and ferrous metallurgy (31.6% and 30.3% in terms of production volume), metalworking (19.9%) and mechanical engineering (8.8%). The rest is occupied by the food industry (7.0%) and construction industry enterprises (1.5%). The share of Kamensk-Uralsky in regional industrial production is 5.3%. Four large city-forming industrial enterprises of the city represent 75.4% of the total industrial production of the city: SinTZ OJSC, UAZ-SUAL OJSC, KUMZ OJSC, FSUE PO Oktyabr.

OJSC "UAZ-SUAL" is among the hundred largest enterprises in the country. UAZ produces alumina, aluminum, crystalline silicon, and aluminum-based alloys. The products are in demand in Germany, Holland, the USA and other countries.

JSC SinTZ is a modern specialized enterprise with advanced technology for the production of petroleum pipes. The plant's products are used by oil refining associations, machine-building and automobile factories.

OJSC "KUZOTsM" is an enterprise in the non-ferrous metalworking industry. The plant produces 15 thousand standard sizes of rolled products from 100 grades of metals and alloys based on copper, zinc, and nickel.

OJSC KUMZ supplies rolled aluminum and aluminum alloys.

Mechanical engineering and metalworking enterprises produce special equipment, railway technical products, radios (FSUE PO Oktyabr), electrical connectors (JSC Iset Plant), electric motors (ZJSC Uralelectromash), cast automobile wheels (JSC KULZ).

Construction industry enterprises supply the city with building bricks, wall materials, window and door blocks, and reinforced concrete.

The food industry (JSC Alkona, JSC Khlebokombinat, JSC Myasokombinat, JSC Moloko, JSC KAMPI, LLP Fakon) supplies meat and sausage products, dairy and alcoholic beverages, bread and confectionery products .

There are several shopping and shopping and entertainment centers in the city: KIT, Orange, Oktyabrsky, Megamart, Jazz, and two clothing markets.

The share of small and medium-sized businesses in the city's economy is 35.8%. During the year, more than 1,500 entrepreneurs studied at the Training Center for Additional Business and Professional Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Kamensk-Uralsky under the Federal Program for Supporting Small Businesses in Single-Industry Towns.

Crime

The criminal showdowns of the 90s did not spare Kamensk-Uralsky. The Uralmash group of the OPS "Uralmash" (the backbone was concentrated in the city of Sverdlovsk) controlled about six hundred commercial structures, incl. branch of the commercial company OJSC Alkona in Kamensk-Uralsky.

The redistribution of markets and the pursuit of control over financial flows were reflected in the murders of business leaders. In 1996, the director of the Kamensk-Ural OCM plant, V. Tokar, was killed, and in 2000, the chairman of the Board of Directors of the OCM plant, S. Weber.

Kamensky members of the groups found refuge in the local cemetery, their memory is immortalized by massive granite slabs with images of the owners in “red jackets” and hung with gold chains.

In general, the crime situation in the city is decent. Even a 20% reduction in personnel in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kamensk-Uralsky did not generally affect the control of law and order in the city.

With the influx of migrants, crime has increased amid ethnic clashes. In 2012, city law enforcement agencies prevented an interethnic massacre, which was provoked by a drunken fight between Uzbeks and Armenians. Helping parties in the amount of 60-70 people from Chelyabinsk and Kurgan could take part in the planned action.

In 2011, the number of street robberies, hooliganism, and murders decreased (compared to 2010); authorities liquidated 82 brothels. The most popular crime is car theft.

The crime detection rate in the city is 65.2%, this figure is even higher than regional values.

Sights of Kamensk-Uralsky

Nature itself has created picturesque rocky monuments in the vicinity of the city. The wind artist hewed them, and people just had to come up with a name:

All the amazing natural places in the waters of the Iset River can be seen on a sightseeing boat tour of the Iset Canyon.

If you want to see the sights of Kamensk-Uralsky, let's travel together along the route that is repeated every time by new newlyweds who go on an excursion from the local registry office after the ceremonial registration.

We go to the central square of the city, which was decorated with the Alexander Nevsky Chapel, consecrated in 2001, for the 300th anniversary. At this monument every year on the city day there is a bell ringing festival. Behind the scenes, Kamensk-Uralsky received the title of the bell capital of Russia. The bells cast at Nikolai Pyatkov’s enterprise create a new tradition - bell music, bringing people from different countries together.

The newlyweds go to the Kamensk-Uralsky stele on the outskirts of the city to joyfully break a bottle of champagne there - fortunately, this is already a tradition.

Driving through Old Kamensk along the former Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street (today Lenin Street), you can see many architectural monuments of the 19th century, among which the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, built in 1806, stands out in its classicist style. This is the oldest operating church in the city. Churches were usually located on squares and hills and had a 360-degree view. The first wooden church was built in 1701 and burned down many times. The church's property included a shopping area, many shops along what is now Lenin Street, partly 25 October Square, and stables were located in the buildings on the square.

On the left bank of the Kamenka River stands the “Cannon” monument (1967), a copy of the first Kamenka guns, erected in honor of the Kamenka gunners. A wide staircase leads to the monument. There used to be dilapidated buildings on this site, and for the 300th anniversary, a beautiful square was laid out, a resting place for modern townspeople.

Our route leads to the Krasnogorsk district, to the eternal flame at the monument to the heroes - Kamenets, UAZ workers who died during the Great Patriotic War. This monument is located opposite the architectural monument of the UAZ Palace of Culture, built by captured Germans in 1947.

In the evening, our newlyweds take their guests to the restaurant. Where to go? You can choose from the Pinta restaurant, restaurants of the Shokolad entertainment centers (near the UAZ cultural center), BLACKBERRY RC IMPERIA (on K. Marks street), L-CLUB bowling center (Leninsky village, at the entrance), discos are also held there, There is bowling, billiards (L-CLUB). The KOOKERS cafe (fast food restaurant), which is located in the center, on Pobeda Avenue, is in demand: children's parties are also held here, and there is access to the Internet. In the “Favorite City” cafe (in the building of the “Yunost” cultural center) you can have a soulful time with friends, here you will be entertained with a game program.

General information and history

Kamensk-Uralsky is located in the south of the Sverdlovsk region. It is the center of the Southern Administrative District. The total area is 144.08 km².

The first permanent settlement on the territory of the future Kamensk-Uralsky was formed when iron ore was discovered there. The Dalmatovsky Monastery became the owner of its deposit in 1682. He settled some of his peasants on this land, and then smelted iron for his needs.

In 1700, Peter I became interested in the undeveloped Ural Mountains, rich in mineral resources. The ore on the land of the Dalmatovsky monastery turned out to be so successful that it was taken back into state ownership. A year later, the emperor ordered the founding of an iron foundry, the first in the Urals. At the turn of the next century, the settlement near him was called the Kamensky State Iron Foundry.

At the beginning of 1774, the plant was captured by Ataman Chira, who participated in the uprising of Emelyan Pugachev. A few months later the plant was recaptured. In the 1820s, the plant was supplemented by two blast furnaces and a plant administration building. The main temple has been reconstructed. A hospital was built. Factory workers became serfs in relation to them. They ceased to be such only in 1863. After 22 years, a railway line from the Trans-Siberian Railway was built to the Kamensky plant. In 1903, electrification came to the plant.

In 1926, the Kamensky plant was closed due to lack of fuel and outdated equipment. The plant's products previously included cast iron water pipes. The need for them led to the construction of the Sinarsky Pipe Plant in 1934.

In the same decade, Kamensk became a significant Ural industrial center. Deposits of peat, iron ore, limestone, coal, bauxite and construction sand were explored. In 1939, the Ural Aluminum Plant was built. In 1935, Kamensk became a city. Five years later it was renamed Kamensk-Uralsky. In 1942, the city and the surrounding area moved from the Chelyabinsk region to the Sverdlovsk region.

During the war, only the Ural Aluminum Plant supplied aviation with this metal. In 1944, the Kamensk-Ural Metallurgical Plant was built. After the Victory, industry in the city increased due to the evacuated mechanical engineering and metallurgy enterprises. Kamensk-Uralsky became the third in the region in terms of number of inhabitants and importance after Sverdlovsk and Nizhny Tagil.

Then the production of parts for the production of aircraft altimeters began. In 1970, electrical connectors for space and aircraft applications began to be produced. In the 80s and 90s, no new enterprises were built, but existing ones developed significantly.

In post-Soviet times, demand for their products dropped significantly. Its customers could not pay, so the factories had no funds for salaries and raw materials. In 1992, factories began to become private property. The financial situation of workers, their demand and social packages have decreased. Therefore, the population began to decline. The remaining residents mainly relied on vegetable gardens and collective gardens. When the enterprises somewhat adapted to the market, they began to sell their products to Western Europe and North America.

During the 2008 crisis, many enterprises were forced to cut staff, and UAZ and KUZOTsM found themselves on the verge of closure.

Districts of Kamensk-Uralsky

Samsony Paramonovich Fuflomitsinsky

Now everyone, listen and pay attention, the city is a complete ruin! The roads are so terrible that it is impossible to imagine that there is somewhere even worse. The infrastructure is simply catastrophic, the city is in deep dissonance, or, more simply, in complete chaos. And all this is the merit of the mayor of Astakhov, who turned my hometown into a village. Look at the population dynamics and everything will become clear to you. Apart from the factories, there is simply nothing else in Kamensk and no work except at the factories. In general, a depressing city, which until recently was very comfortable and good.

P.S. The most comfortable and pleasant areas are Baraba, Leninsky, Yuzhny.

Factories - Sin-Tz/Tmk. UAZ/Rusal. Coombs. Uralelectromash. Cools/Uralvagonzavod. Upkb-Detail/KTRV. Mlz. Tmk-Innox. Multiprocessing. FSUE PO Oktyabr/Rostec. Iset/Rostec. Kuzotsm/Renova. Sibna. Protection of NKT/TD NGOs. Gevura. In general, as was written above, it is a city of factories and enterprises. If you are a tough specialist in the field of factory professions, then this city is for you. Salaries are at a very good level - 20,000-40,000 rubles.

Ivanov Vyacheslav

I’ve lived in the city for 59 years and it’s a shame for the city, the state it’s in. The old is being torn down, but the new is not being built, with the exception of huge stores. I’m not talking about roads at all, there are no sidewalks. It looks like something is happening under your nose, but it’s scary to look inside your nose.

You can go to Chelyabinsk - so that the atmosphere remains familiar. Exchange emissions and NMU from UAZ for emissions and NMU from ChEMK))) But seriously, Yekaterinburg is the most logical option, the most developed metropolis in Russia!

So Eburg is dirtier according to statistics, 80% comes from cars and migrant workers. Chelyaba is much more comfortable. 11 lakes within the city, the largest forest park area in Russia in the city center. They have taken great care of the environment here, the results, of course, will come later, but with Eburg it will still have a head start in terms of living comfort. Prices for everything in Chelyab are 30% lower for everything, the population is increasing, although not as much as before. So don’t slander Chelyaba.

Former Resident

Agree! Since in the Sverdlovsk region there is nowhere else to go except for the EKB) All the other cities have simply rotted away from beggary, there is no money to support small cities, so they leave them and move to large ones!

KAMENCHANKA

The city really turned into a hole, all the private small shops closed, only the “traders” remained. The city is shabby and gray, there are no normal roads or sidewalks. Previously, there were flower beds, but now there is only dog ​​poop!!! It’s pathetic and painful to watch, there are no prospects for the children, and for us too. The shoe and confectionery factories were closed, the dairy plant was being destroyed, the meat processing plant disappeared in an unknown direction, there are no competent doctors, what kind of bedlam is there in the city??? But it looks like things will get even worse... Your comment...

Former Resident

People, I agree with you! I graduated from technical school in June 2013 with 2 diplomas - Lawyer and Auto Mechanic, since there are no normal institutions anymore, and I haven’t been able to find work here for three and a half years, it’s just terrible. Only parents save us from hunger, but their pension is hardly enough, it’s a shame, damn it! Everything is falling apart before our eyes. Stores are growing, and then what will happen after them? Just ruins, like in Egypt! Hole City, honestly, everything was closed, destroyed, and this hole has no future! Everything is overgrown with forest, in the literal sense of the word, in the middle of the bridge there is a forest with a forest. There are only villages all around, gardens and towns. I think that the fate of Kataysk awaits this hole, it’s even worse there, it’s not far from extinction, every year residents leave in all directions and do the right thing. I was not born here, but I don’t recommend going here!!!

5 years ago I realized that the population would fall, and the number of pensioners would grow, apartments would become cheaper, and there would be no one to live in them; probably in 20 years it would be ruins)))) Everyone from my building (a good house) sent their children to St. Petersburg, Moscow and Eburg - because in our city you will see a normal salary if you really work in the workshop - but there are not enough normal places at the factories for everyone, and what does our city represent? Complete ass in all directions.

Catherine

Everything has already become clear - when the city does not have money for roads and building something new for people, people become drunkards. In Kamensk, how many drunk men and women have I seen sitting on these very benches and shouting something about life, how difficult it is, etc. But everything is much simpler, comrades, you just need to pull yourself together and think carefully that it is enough to change your place of residence and start everything from scratch, and not engage in nonsense. I read your comments and was horrified by how true it is! If you look at the city, you can really imagine - there is nothing here except the forest! There are also no jobs for young people, the Employment Service does not work at all, it seems that they have no demand, as such, and people flock to them. There have been no prospects in the city for a long time, and the people are waiting for these same specialists to find a job for them, who sit and just scratch their tongues, and even when you ask them the question: “Is there a job?”, the answer is “No work, no requests, no experience, search as you wish!" - What is it?! Do we deserve this? No! So I advise you to solve the problem yourself... it’s better to go to Yekaterinburg, Moscow, St. Petersburg, where salaries are higher and yet they are capitals, and there is demand and prospects, but in Kamensk you will not find either one or the other. I myself already live in Yekaterinburg, I’m simply ashamed of Kamensk, it’s not a city anymore, but as it was written above by the “Resident”, Ruins! I advise you to leave the city, it won’t get better, seriously. There is no future for young people here!!!

resident of Kam-Ur.

Every day I look - ruins, ruins, ruins, roadlessness, greyness, devastation, a hole. The population is getting smaller and smaller every year. And soon this city will be called the “Abandoned Village”. Only the mayor's castle grows and only the infrastructure around it improves.

Former Resident

Ekaterina, I agree with you 100%, apparently I’m not the only one. In reality, the further it goes, the worse it gets, many enterprises have also collapsed, before there were so many vacancies in newspapers, but now there are already 8 lines of some left-wing private entrepreneurs! They just really demand, but they don’t take it, it’s right that we need to leave, what else can we do here other than drink ourselves to death. There are only homeless people and alcoholics, it’s no longer possible to call it a city, friends have left in all directions and said: “Finally, we left this hole, we should have done this a long time ago” and live happily - large families. All the acquaintances I knew now live some 100 km away, some 2000 km away, and some 5000 km away! There was also an acquaintance who sold an apartment for 900 thousand just to move out of here. Now he lives awesome, he can afford things that he can’t do in Kamensk!!! All these are fairy tales about what is better at home, parents, all that... BUT, guys, the main thing now is the place of residence, it is often changed, and it is young people who go where it is more profitable and they do the right thing, because parents are not eternal and they sometimes do not always want to compromise. Take everything into your own hands and do it while you’re young, get out of this hole, go where it’s profitable and live happily!...

Catherine

I agree with "Former Resident"! I lived there a long time ago, I don’t remember much, but I know that it won’t get better!... I myself live in Yekaterinburg, I had to leave, because I don’t want to disappear in Kamensk, and I’m alone in my youth - you can’t turn back time. I don’t understand the people who live there - why are you really wasting your life?! If there is no job - they sit and wait, there is no experience - they sit and wait for someone to find them! This is not normal, it infuriates me... and finally I recommend to all of you, people, leave Kamensk, stop wasting your life in vain!..

Krasnogorsk District

This is how many people have already written here and I join you... the population is not growing, it is decreasing, every year as many as 1,500 people are leaving here, and it’s clear - there is no growth dynamics, you can’t build a career here either, if you look at the statistics, since 2006 there have been 182,500 people living in the city, and in 2016 - as many as 170,221!!! It falls and falls, I wonder - from 2010 to 2011 what is the increase? Only 11 people - ridiculous. Then a sharp drop. Previously, from 2009 to 2010, this was the era of crisis, when 5,500 people immediately left here or died from alcohol, one can imagine how really bad they felt here. And it’s clear - there’s no work, there’s only one collapse, the same shit has been lying around for years + housing and communal services work haphazardly, they don’t remove snow at all, and in the summer they don’t wash the roads and don’t really collect garbage! Subbotniks came up with an idea - supposedly we should collect garbage that no one needs! This suggests that housing and communal services are not working at all, they make it look simple, and this is clear without words. Prices are rising - it’s just terrible, you can’t buy bread, vodka, cigarettes, milk is also expensive, in such a hole you can only be a pensioner, eat all sorts of crap and live on pennies. Nobody needs vegetable gardens now either, in such and such a hole they only save from hunger, and even then you need to kill a lot of time for this. Parents don’t always live there, they say that it’s difficult for them to support it, young people don’t need it, they don’t need gardens, unemployment, pensioners are the only ones left here, and that’s all, but how can young people survive in this hole? Ah, good gentlemen? If only something would be built for the development of industry and there would be jobs! No, Mayor Astakhov needs to ruin everything! Our hero is in ruins! Who no longer governs the city and why is he needed, he ruined it, and live as you want, he doesn’t care about us in everything! Like the nearby villages, they are dying out on their own; they have not lived in these villages for 20 years. There are only houses looted, forgotten by God, especially on Shablish there are abandoned houses that are already 100 years old, there are a couple of houses that have already been demolished, robbed, cleaned out, and have been standing and rotting for a long time. Ruined buildings, warehouses and a church were once there, now they are monuments. In short, read and understand what I have written here, although who will hear us, who needs us...

I’ve only recently been here, of course, but there’s so much dirt about the city, and you can only sit here and scribble, so go and tell Putin about this problem! Why sit here? Leave if you have to! And I feel good here)) Former Resident, you moan about work, etc., go sweep the yards if you don’t know how to do anything! Krasnogorsky District - in general, go to Sinarsky, it’s cool here, not like your Krasnogorka! In short, there are only whiners here))))) Even though I’m 36, I have more intelligence than you)))

Wow! Why do you feel so good??? Is it good to live in a barn, in the dirt and with poor infrastructure? Well then, congratulations, young man!!
You don’t need enough to be happy! I’m so jealous))))) Sinarka is blooming and smelling???)))) I didn’t notice something... Apparently your salary is decent... but try, live on the salary of a janitor))) Not everyone, apparently lucky in Kamensk with work, how do you like it... With two degrees and work experience, go and try to get a job! Although... for a “small reward” it is still possible... And it’s not Putin who solves the problems of the municipality, at least to the mayor first, or what?)))))) And I would also argue about intelligence at 36 years old ))) If you don’t praise yourself, no one will praise you)))

Former Resident

Patriot like, they don’t see any problems, everything is fine with them! He didn’t try to live on a piece of bread, let him choke on his caviar, let people continue to write opinions. Yes, now no one needs higher education. I myself decided not to get a higher education, I passed the transport categories and that’s enough))

Hmm... Do you think a janitor earns more in Moscow? If you don’t have education and skills, then, sorry, you will feel bad everywhere. Who is to blame that you didn’t want to study and don’t want to work either? Is Astakhov to blame? Or maybe Putin?

Tsvetkova Elena Alekseevna

Yes, revenge yards are possible, but our salaries are very small: the schedule is from 8 to 17, and they pay from 12,000. And the rent is from 5 to 6 thousand. It was in Moscow that they calculated the average salary - 36,000... It is not clear how they calculated it. And in the Employment Center there are a lot of vacancies for cleaners - to wash floors in shopping centers. There are few jobs for women; the age requirement is up to 40. Again, the government came up with the idea for us that at 55 life is just beginning. It's not about our city. The point is in principle - who will have time to steal more in a leadership position. The power of oligarchs and scammers. People don't understand that the last shirt doesn't have a pocket.

Krasnogorsk District

Uralian, where did you see us moaning? Come on, explain it! We are writing our opinion here, but you, in general, go through the forest with your Kamensk, I left recently, and you be here)) Kamensk will soon die out, it will end badly.

Ekaterinburg

From your town, the indigenous residents leave as best they can, if not to St. Petersburg and Moscow, then at least to the nearby ones - Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk. You won’t find young people here, because they all leave to study in big cities. There are practically no universities in Kamensk. Those who remain are mainly those who did not enroll or are studying in college. Therefore, if you are not a stupid person, you have no one to communicate with here. Older people with ambitions or talents also left this tiny town long ago. Why would anyone go to Kamensk-Uralsky at all is a big question, think ten times before going here!!

New buildings in Yuzhny, living there is not as miserable as in other areas of the city.

Only drunks live on Silikatny and Chkalovsky, the houses there are two-story, falling apart, don’t go there at all.

Former Resident

Oh, Yekaterinburg is in touch, you write correctly, bro, I go to Yekaterinburg every year, I just need everything there! I’ll soon leave here from this rubbish, village and other nonsense, I’m tired of everything, apparently, we have a lot of stupid people in Kamensk, if they live here, and this is confirmed by the older generation, they praise and praise this hole, for what not I know?! Soon there will be no work left here in the literal sense of the word! A tiny town - well, that's putting it mildly, in fact it's a tiny village with a nearly collapsed bridge that's over 100 years old! Horror. The youth? Hmm, forget about it, how many young people have moved to EKB, I’ve seen it myself and how many times I’ve gone, every second person says that “EKB is better, it’s cooler there, I want to go there, I don’t want to go home,” and specifically to Kamensk-Uralsky! Why go here? Good question, get an answer: You don’t need to come here!!! Forget the road here and those who want to come even just to have a look: while passing through, they bought something to eat and went on their way! This is not a city, but just a passing place with its own attractions, of no use to anyone! All the monuments are overgrown with forest, it’s a godforsaken hole, there’s even nowhere to walk! In general, thank you for the comments, at least someone writes here at all, otherwise you might die of boredom!!!

Naive. Compare the regional center with regional cities. Compare with regional cities with up to 200 thousand inhabitants and you will see that Kamensk is “in chocolate”. Of course, there is no room for “creative individuals” and “people with ambitions” to develop themselves here. But in general, everything is good here: infrastructure, work, kindergartens, schools, leisure and everything to satisfy the urgent needs of availability. Of course, there are difficulties, like everywhere else. And without them it’s only a fairy tale.

Former Resident

Kamensk "in chocolate", in what Chocolate? Complete devastation, people are leaving here, sitting at the station with their suitcases! “Creative personalities” and “people with ambitions” - yes, such people immediately fall from such a hole!!! But in general, everything is good here: infrastructure, work, kindergartens, schools, leisure and everything to satisfy the urgent needs of availability. What's so good about it? The infrastructure has long been outdated, old houses have been standing for 100 years, drive around the city, everywhere - you will see that wooden houses still stand ownerless, the village is completely abandoned! And no one even takes them down! "Job"? That’s why people leave here because they don’t find it, they don’t want to work as taxi drivers or some kind of left-wing pizza delivery guy! The factories are old, salaries there are 7-9 thousand, all my friends left for Yekaterinburg a long time ago, and got married there! I myself worked at Iset, 9200 salaries and a lot of work, but for this money it’s not worth it, this work, and there’s nowhere else to get a job, really, in this Kamensk! That’s why I’m going to Yekaterinburg, there are no prospects here, as many have written, and it’s ridiculous to start a family here with such and such a salary! “Kindergartens”, “Schools”, what’s good there? Yes, children already at school say that the city sucks, if they know that the capitals are the largest and most attractive! Why do they need this Kamensk, which no one will ever know about?! And in those same technical schools they understand that there are no prospects for studying here! It looks like this Kamensk has turned not into a city, but into a refuge for children, where they can study and then go wherever they want! That's all, and then you started talking about how good it is here, everything is covered in chocolate. If you don't know, don't write!!!

Former Resident

We write as it is, because we stand for the truth)) Why go here at all, you need to go to Yekaterinburg or Moscow and St. Petersburg! These are the most correct directions)) Ass - that's right, all the projects were curtailed, Mayor Astakhov ruined the last thing that was normal, now another one is in prison, but there's no point - I don't see any progress. Gradually, everything goes to the EKB, the main ones sit there, and who needs this Kamensk, even the female population has become significantly smaller! It’s noticeable that everyone has left a long time ago! “Huge” is the problem of this country, the borders are large, because of this it is impossible to maintain such large territories! So gradually everything is pouring into Moscow, all the money, all the roads, all the PEOPLE! Well, who doesn’t want to at least join the EKB! “People are in complete crap”: because the country’s expenses are full of problems, the budget is thrown here and there, and there is also a herd that needs to be fed - this also requires money, but everything is already clear that small cities are getting poorer, and Moscow is getting richer! Because she drinks all the juices from small towns, so they know where to drive the herd throughout our vastness! That's all))

Aminova Raisa Grigorievna

After reading your statements about the city, I was horrified. And in 1957, for me it was a beautiful, civil city. I came here to work in the kindergarten of the Sinarsky Pipe Plant. After Irbit, it seemed to me that this was a very cultural, beautiful city. I wanted to see the streets, parks, cultural institutions, and see their changes. I looked on the Internet, and there your comments disappointed me. I wanted to visit my favorite city. I lived in a women's hostel on Trubnaya Street. The kindergarten was in the forest, there were flowers and sculptures on the site. I liked everything, children in those days came and left on their own, without parents (older groups). It was calm. There was a summer dance floor in the park near the club, which we visited. There were no drunks. It's a shame that things have changed so much.

Aminova Raisa Grigorievna

I also want to add. If anyone remembers me, please respond. I remember Alexandra Semyonovna Vidyapina (maiden name), Valentina Korableva, Maria Ivanovna Sherstneva and others, I forgot. Hello everyone who remembers me. I live in Bugulma, Tatarstan.

Here, look how everything has changed, this is a graph of changes in the population of the Sverdlovsk region from 1959 to 2019:

Consequently, progress began only in 1970, when there was the Soviet Union. As you can see, he writes the truth - look carefully, since 1992, after the collapse of the USSR, there has been a decline, there was an increase only in 2012 - in 5 years only 32,779 people, and again a drop in the population by 13,742 people since 2016, when 457 670 lost in 20 years! This doesn’t even reach 50 thousand... A huge imbalance in jobs in favor of Moscow, alas... even you live not in Kamensk, but in Tatarstan. Now it’s worth thinking about why people don’t want to live in the Sverdlovsk region? Answer: look at the graph of population changes and you will understand everything.

Damn, people!!! I have lived in Kamensk since birth and have no intention of leaving here!!! A great city, it was, is and will be!!!

P.s. And if your life is an ass, then I sympathize with you. After all, everything depends on you!

P.s. Anyone can complain about everyone, but not everyone seeks the strength to fix everything themselves.

CONCLUSION: Only consumers complain about Kamensk, who, apparently, will remain so for the rest of their lives. Those who complain are those who believe that someone should give them everything, do everything for them. We are not living in a fairy tale, come to your senses, you won’t find happiness in another city with your talent for blaming others.

Live, Grow and Grow!!!

Former Resident

Nikolay, there’s no need to defend Kamensk here! You see for yourself where everything is going, trolleybuses have been canceled and many enterprises have closed, why would Kamensk Kaifovy? The devastation is complete, but Astakhov laid the foundation for this. What is now and what will happen next? The bridge is over 100 years old, there won’t be a new one and this one will be broken! The city has no money, Yekaterinburg made the roads! There have been no changes for 10 years, I’ve lived here for 25 years, I know what I saw and am writing here. It’s 100% impossible to find work here anymore, everyone has their own, I’ve been looking for work for 4 years, and you write here how great it is here! Just Ice! Yeah of course! Since 2013, when I graduated from KUMT, I have been running all over the city in search of work, looking for everything - from the worst to the best job, there are no places and connections everywhere, they require experience, as if we were living in some kind of Moscow. I don’t understand, we live in a hole, not Moscow! The bosses change like gloves in the same PTP, they sold the city to some private owners, they scattered like ants for a tasty morsel! Express City is barely breathing, everyone is running away from there, and people are quitting in droves at the PTP! Soon even public transport will stop, there will be no one to work! Young people are leaving in all directions and doing the right thing, we have a 27-year-old guy. A security guard has been looking for a girl for several years, he’s already posted notices at bus stops, he’s diligently looking. Maybe he’s no longer looking, I don’t know, but he wrote, “that our girls have become smart, they go to the big city to become happy there and specifically get married there! Here they are not looking for anyone! They only meet Yekaterinburg residents! " Here is the conclusion: soon there will be no one left here, as Alex wrote! The city will turn into extinct Egypt!

Recent resident

Hello everyone, in my opinion Kamensk is a completely adequate city. I moved here with my family in 2016, I like everything, a lot of new buildings, new gardens, many schools, roads - quite good. Those who think that you need to get out, I think you won’t keep up with the rhythm of life in big cities and for YOU they will also be a hole, even Moscow. The city is developing, there is work, I, without citizenship, could easily get a job for 35-40 thousand rubles. It also has its own motorcycle track, ski base (new), boat station, many shopping centers and 5 swimming pools. My opinion: the city is WORTHY to live in.

I agree with you. Only those who do not want and do not know how to work see the negative. There is work in the city, and not for pennies. All summer the whole city is in construction. The areas are being improved, roads are being repaired, and the bridge is being reconstructed. Only armchair generals can shout “they destroyed the city.” Raise your butt and do at least something for the city, and therefore for yourself. Everyone always owes you something. It was necessary to study and work, and not spread demagoguery.

Our family became participants in the State Resettlement Program and we chose this city. We are from Tajikistan, we have 3 children, the eldest is studying to become an engineer at the Ural Federal University in Yekaterinburg, two are schoolchildren. I am an accountant, my husband is an electric and gas welder. Do you think we can settle and live there?

It’s better to go to Moscow or St. Petersburg, the medicine here is terrible, the work is bad, transport is bad - you have to stand for an hour in the cold, taxi and minibus drivers are rude, housing and communal services arrange landfills anywhere. Once a week the UAZ smokes so much that my throat hurts and I start snotting. You don’t need to come here at all, live in the capital, well, at least in Yekaterinburg, at least the medicine is better there.

It’s so funny to read many of the comments... Question - what have you done to make the city “the best”? Who should do this? Don't shit on the streets, don't wander around drunkenly in the trash in gateways, don't break elevators and benches, don't park on lawns, don't walk dogs on playgrounds... Who does all this? Officials or you and me?

Confectioner

In fact, everyone should mind their own business. People work, pay taxes, for which officials exist. The very ones whose direct responsibility is to improve the city. Question: “What did you do yourself?” absolutely incorrect in essence. So in the hospital they might ask you: “Doctors do a bad job? What did you do yourself? Did you have your appendix removed? Did you have your tooth filled? No? Who should do this?”

For some, this is all too complicated. They were taught in childhood that where they never clean is clean, there was even a saying: “It’s not clean where they clean, but where they don’t litter,” from which they conclude that all the dirt comes from cleaning. And they share this conclusion with everyone and everyone personally.

For this we need beds for drunkards and homeless people and police to catch and punish them. And most importantly - laws that must be followed by both citizens and police officers. And this takes time - 100 years. And for uncultured savages - 500 years.

Everyone is so smart, they are discussing that the city is dying out. Where does it die out? There is work, housing is being built, roads are being repaired. Those who write bad reviews are those who only dream of a big city. Let them go to Yekaterinburg, for example, and work for one rented apartment. They will receive 40 tons, they will give 20 for a rented house, but Megapolis.

I read the comments, analyze them and come to the conclusion that those people who write about Kamensk do not understand the situation in the country and in the world. The city is quite prosperous compared to other cities, even compared to the crap Ekaterinburg, I lived in Ekaterinburg, I know this city. It’s difficult to live there: the infrastructure is terrible, cars, dirt, for example, in Chermet, garbage is lying in the courtyards, there are heaps of it. It’s unclear how the transport works, it’s a mess everywhere, there’s no such sludge anywhere, not in any city. Work is not constant, for increasingly high prices, as in any metropolis; in general, Yekaterinburg is a sewer. And those who write badly about Kamensk are fooling young people, they don’t want young people to stay in the city and develop industry. They are forced to live in a metropolis in order to suffer and waste their energy on the big city, and do nothing with it. Kamensk needs young active people, because since pre-Petrine times this city has been a forge of the Russian defense industry and it continues to remain a forge, and those who write all sorts of nasty things about the city are the enemy of Russia, and it’s not for you to judge Kamensk. And the fact that the roads and housing stock are old is nonsense, all this can be done, the main thing is that young people understand that they will have to live here in any case, because the time is coming when all the enterprises that the liberals did not allow to work will be restored and the work will be in full swing, because Russia will make a breakthrough.

Dimitri

I don’t understand for whom the new buildings are being built on Yuzhny? When all the young people flee, who will live there? There are no jobs, no salaries, the population is falling. Once upon a time there was a good city, now, or rather, it will soon turn into a stalker city, and in 10 years what will happen? People will come on excursions and examine the ruins and ruins: in just 10-15 years the city was destroyed. Astakhov made a special contribution...

Don’t feed a Russian person bread just to whine. He left Kamensk himself, although he had a decent income. The soul just wants to develop and wants something new. I would like to tell young people that you will not find a decent income working for your uncle, be it in Kamensk or anywhere in Russia. The Soviet Union ended long ago. Now the only option is to work for yourself. True, for this you need to move the fifth point. And, by the way, Kamensk is far from the worst city - this can be seen if you travel around the country. And what was destroyed will be restored. A holy place is never empty.

“And what was destroyed will be restored. A holy place is never empty.” Are you in a fairy tale, or what? You yourself left, did not develop the city, why then write: “work for yourself”, everyone has a direct path to this, intelligence, education? The point is not the fifth point, but the fact that when working for yourself, the state has to pay a lot of money! So people work for their uncle because they don’t want to lose their home because of debts. A friend of mine curtailed his activities because there was nothing left to pay his debts with, the whole business is based on the “pay as much as possible” system, now VAT is 20%, it’s already stifling! Private businesses open and close every now and then, like migratory birds change the location of their offices, just to avoid taxes, what kind of work are you writing about here, since it’s unrealistic for people to even get a job for eight thousand, to work as a floor scrubber you also need experience, under 35 years of age years and parameters 90-60-90.

Sergey Kazakov

I’ll write here too, I’ve been to Ekb, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and currently live in Kamensk. Even though I’m 26, I haven’t worked since 2013, yes, yes, that’s how it is, alas. I trampled the thresholds of these desks everywhere I could, at least for 12-15 rubles, BUT they don’t take it anywhere, not in any city where I lived for 6 years, despite my technical education! Everywhere they demand experience in any job, even one that I would never do! To work as a loader you need to have experience, I actually regret that in 1994 I was born in such a wretched place as Kamensk!!!

So, about the cities: Kamensk - 2 years of unsuccessful job search, friends left, no one is there, they are all already married, work is very bad! Industry? She's not here at all! She was only in the USSR, but not in the Russian Federation!

Moscow - renting a house, food and taxes are expensive, the noise is annoying, people - G..oh, they only think about themselves! There was no work to be found either, and this is the capital! Industrial enterprises and production are also not so hot, young people go there to stand behind the cash registers, nothing more, no one needs your education there, just like in Kamensk too!

St. Petersburg - dark, stuffy, too many people! The Tajiks, as in Moscow, took all the work, everything is the same as in Moscow, there is nothing to describe!

Bottom line: it turns out that all that remains is to die in these holes where you were born; everything is not as good as many people say! Try it yourself! Education does not play any role, now EXPERIENCE is important, from the moment of birth! And I guess I won’t see a pension. And yes, I’m not moaning, but writing as it is!

Sergey, I understand you very well! I have lived in Kamensk since birth, I am now 21. So, when I was still studying at school No. 23, we had a teacher who came from Kataysk, so she later said that “there is no work for her in this city,” well, Katayske, but she had no education, she worked without it, just like that. I left after I graduated from KUMT as a stylist - I realized that I wasn’t needed here, it’s better to go straight to where you want, and not wait for that same job when it comes. Yes, you have an education, Sergey, at least some, but it all depends on permanent residence... My brother, a drilling rig operator (oil rig), went to work in Yamal as soon as he graduated from courses at EKB, unfortunately, he has nothing to do here, as And me. This city is low, the people are evil, there are no young people, the salaries are tiny. A girl doesn’t need to give birth here at all; she needs to leave here right away when she was born.

It’s sad, you write this about Kamensk, but I’ll write about the region as a whole. I read the statistics, the region is dying like flies... As of January 1, 2018, the population of the Sverdlovsk region was 4 million 325 thousand 256 people. In 2017, it decreased by 4 thousand 85 people. According to Sverdlovskstat, the main reason was the natural population decline (4,299 people). Compared to 2016, it increased by 4.3 times.

In 2017, 53 thousand 386 children were born in the region. At the same time, 57 thousand 685 people died. The number of deaths exceeded the number of births by 8.1%.

An increase in population last year occurred in 10 municipalities. The leaders are Sredneuralsk (by 2.3%), Verkhnyaya Pyshma (by 1.3%), Yekaterinburg (by 0.9%), Aramil and Verkhneye Dubrovo (by 0.8%).

Population declines were recorded in 63 municipalities. The largest number is in Verkh-Neyvinsky (by 3.1%), Kirovgrad (by 2.5%), Makhnevo (by 2.4%), Pelym (by 2.3%) and Tabory (by 2.2%).

I went through many forums and read this: what kind of development in the region can we talk about?! Especially about small towns - there is nothing to do there at all.

There is no work at all in the outback - men flock from there to places where they can at least earn something. In addition, the income of a huge part of the working population does not exceed the notorious “subsistence level”, it is even less, and it is difficult to call such “work” and “work”, it is something reminiscent of “working for a bowl of stew.” Statistics do not generally reflect the real picture on the labor market and do not show the complete picture of unemployment in the country. People who have lost their jobs do not go to register with the “employment service” - they prefer to look for work themselves through various websites or simply by walking around offices, companies, factories, etc. And they sometimes do this for years. The moral of the story is this: to get a job in a profession with a good salary, you have to work for ten years, like Carlo’s dad, and it’s not a fact that everything will work out. Continuous watches in the provinces... Soon they (the male population) will lose their health and somewhere families will begin to collapse! This will be a demographic failure worse than the 90s! It feels like we are being destroyed once again and very cynically...

Sergey Kazakov is a great guy, I will support you, he wrote correctly... Even in Yekaterinburg, when I arrived there, out of desperation I wanted to get a job as a janitor (a young pensioner) - everything is occupied by Uzbeks. Category “D” driver - do you think we have few people willing to get a job on minibuses? Try to get settled - Uzbeks and Tajiks are alone (90 percent). Builders are gastric workers who work for 3 kopecks without paying taxes to the treasury, but you have to pay for ours, you can’t hide ours in a change house. In the Sverdlovsk region, following the results of nine months of 2017, the natural population decline amounted to 3,551 people. The press service of Sverdlovskstat reported this to a REGNUM correspondent.

From January to September 2017 in the Sverdlovsk region, mortality exceeded the birth rate by 8.8%. But the number of registered marriages increased to eight per 1000 Sverdlovsk residents. Over the nine months of 2016, this figure was 7.8 per 1,000 people. The number of divorces remained at the same level as last year. In 2016 and 2017, from January to September, there were 4.5 divorces per 1,000 people.

According to the statistics department, the incomes of Sverdlovsk residents have decreased, both nominal and real. Over the nine months of 2017, nominal income decreased by 0.6%, and real disposable income decreased by 5.2%. Monthly income per resident of the Sverdlovsk region also decreased by 0.6% and amounted to 33.7 thousand rubles.

As REGNUM reported, natural population decline in the Sverdlovsk region has been observed for the second year in a row, and if in 2016 the mortality rate did not exceed the birth rate by much, then the dynamics in 2017 are more negative. Thus, according to the results of eight months of 2017, mortality exceeded the birth rate by 3,210 people.

According to a number of experts, the excess of the mortality rate over the birth rate, which has a nationwide trend, is a direct result of the demographic hole (the so-called “Russian cross”) that occurred after the collapse of the USSR in the 90s of the 20th century. Here's another comment from the girl:
Olga Petrova
“I was born in Novosib, I often visited the EKB (Ekaterinburg) for work, but I will say one thing: - at the first opportunity I left for St. Petersburg (fortunately the company’s head office moved there), I won in everything: in money, in acquaintances, in stores, in the opportunity to just go to Europe for the weekend (Finland is 100 kilometers away, Estonia too), for quality of life.

The only thing I don’t really like about St. Petersburg is that there are SOOO many visitors, and there are more and more of them every month (especially from Central Asian countries). And the climate, of course - recently it was cold, today + 4. but these are minor things.

But I’ll say this: I WILL NOT GO BACK FOR ANY FUCK! Not only to Ensk, I’m not even going to the EKB, even if they drag me out of St. Petersburg by my hair. I don’t even want to go visit, my mother will soon move in with me. What should I do at EKB? Elmash, Uralmash are gop districts in which a girl is afraid to walk, a city with TERRIBLE air, in Ensk, in order to come to work, you have to spend 2-3 hours in the cold (I didn’t have a car). There is nowhere to go, every second person has cheap show-offs, it’s just disgusting.

In general, in our country, except for St. Petersburg and Moscow, it is impossible to live anywhere."

And the mayor of Kurgan said this:
“It’s good here - what a landscape, forests, nature! And people go into cities where there is no ecology, nothing at all. Look, young people are leaving for Yekaterinburg - it would be nice if they could go to Moscow. But when you come to Yekaterinburg, it’s simply impossible to live there in half the city. And Chelyabinsk? The city is also covered in some kind of yellow tails of smoke. The roads are terrible, there is no ecology, but people go there because there is at least some kind of work there. Our guys should stay here and develop our land.” What, exactly, “Should”? And what to develop? When everything has already collapsed, looted, forgotten, drowned, flown to this very Moscow, so that it is! My son took me so that I wouldn’t die here. It turns out that living in the USSR, we didn’t even know the simplest thing - “It’s not a house that’s a place, but people.” Home can be anywhere, it is important for people to know where to go and where to knock.

Who reads these comments? It won’t get better, look not even at Kamensk, but at the country as a whole and you will understand that Moscow and St. Petersburg are no longer Russia! They don’t give a damn what cities outside the Moscow Ring Road are like. Why is everything heading to Moscow, have you thought? But think carefully. Kamensk is not a city, it never was - a suburb, a village and only, no matter what they say, that “it will get better over the years.” Roads - yes, they do, so what? This is just a drop in the bucket, but what next? Relax at the club, then go home and again the same thing! Life is passing by, why do girls and women give birth here? Although maybe they are no longer giving birth, I don’t know, but I once saw statistics in a maternity hospital that they are starting to give birth less - that already says a lot, right? I saw that there were traffic jams on the bridge, women walking with 3 children, etc. There are drunks all around, just darkness. I’m 45, I lived in Kamensk for 17 years and saw nothing except “It will be, it will be,” and that’s it, silence - the World Cup is over and stagnation has begun. So why do we need roads? Who will be driving on them in 20 years? The population is falling every year!!! Several thousand each!!! A lot of people die, very few are born, a lot of people leave!!! You just ask: "Where are you going?" and in winter home-work-home and so on" Yes, I know that they moved to Moscow (fellow travelers), even as a million-plus city they were not happy with Yekaterinburg. I lived there for 3 years, and I also have something to say: it’s bad for specialists there. It was especially true for my son. He studied, but did not stay there, even though he had a girlfriend. He returned to us in Kamensk for a short time, and after 1 month he left for St. Petersburg, because this city suited him, not Kamensk!!! I no longer live there, of course, I also moved when I found out that the doctors began to leave. It is clear that it will only get worse. In short, there is no future here, don’t wait for someone to knock on your door and say: “We’ve healed, everything is like in a fairy tale.” There are no miracles in the world. If Putin is still in power for more than 20 years, then what kind of future can we talk about???

Kamensk-Uralsky- a city of regional subordination in the Sverdlovsk region of Russia, urban district "Kamensk-Uralsky".

The city is located at the confluence of the Kamenka and Iset rivers, 100 kilometers southeast of Yekaterinburg.

Kamensk-Uralsky is the third largest city in the Sverdlovsk region, with 179,061 people (2010). Center of the Kamensky urban district.

Story

Founding of the settlement

The first permanent settlement on the territory of the future city appeared after iron ore was found on the banks of the Kamenka and Iset. The ore lay close to the surface and was easily mined by hand. The Dalmatovo Monastery decided to take advantage of this and asked the treasury for these lands, as undeveloped and unused by anyone. In 1682, a decree was issued according to which the monastery took possession of them. The monastery resettled some of its peasants to the banks of Kamenka and smelted iron in small furnaces for its own needs.

In 1700, as a result of the Battle of Narva, the Russian army lost almost all of its artillery. In those days, high-quality iron was purchased abroad, but the war interrupted trade ties. Peter I drew attention to the ore-rich but completely undeveloped Urals. The ore along the banks of Kamenka and Iset turned out to be so good that the lands were seized back to the treasury. In 1701, Peter I issued a decree on the construction of an ironworks here - the foundation of the future city; on October 15, 1701, the first cast iron was smelted. This was the first iron foundry in the Urals. In the XVIII-XIX centuries. the settlement near it was called Kamensky State Iron Foundry.

In January 1774, the Kamensky plant found itself in the zone of a major peasant uprising led by Emelyan Pugachev. A detachment under the command of Ataman Chira, with the support of rebellious workers, captured the plant on January 10, 1774. Kamensk craftsmen cast ten cannons and about three hundred pounds of cannonballs for the Pugachevites. On March 3, 1774, the tsar's regiment defeated a detachment of two thousand rebels and returned the plant to the treasury.

Development of the settlement in the 19th century

From 1825 to 1829, the appearance of the future city changed radically. According to the designs of the chief architect of the Ural Mining Plants, M.P. Malakhov, who arrived in the city, the Kamensky plant was reconstructed: two new blast furnaces, a plant management building, warehouses, a hospital were built, and the main temple of the city was rebuilt.

Factory workers were forever assigned to factories and had no right to leave them. The abolition of serfdom for factory workers happened two years later than in Russia as a whole, on November 30, 1863, when the “Charter of the Perm province and Kamyshlovsky district of the Kamensky plant and the two villages of Baynovsky and Krasnogorsky assigned to it” was issued.

In 1885, the Kamensky plant was connected by rail to the Bogdanovich station of the Trans-Siberian Railway under construction. At first the station was called Ostrovskaya in honor of the first head of the Ural Railway N.S. Ostrovsky, then it was renamed Sinarskaya.

First half of the XX century

The first electrification took place in 1903

On October 1, 1923, the Kamensky plant was mothballed, and in April 1926 it was closed by decision of Gormet. The reasons for this were outdated equipment and lack of fuel. The plant operated for almost 225 years. One of the types of products that the Kamensky plant produced in the last years of its operation were cast iron water pipes. The need for pipes, the availability of experienced workers and convenient transport routes determined the fact that on April 3, 1931, a decision was made to build a pipe plant in Kamensk (near the Sinarskaya railway station). In 1934, the Sinarsky Pipe Plant was launched.

In the 1930s, Kamensk became a major industrial center of the Urals. The geological exploration party, which began working in Kamensk in 1929, explored deposits of iron ore, coal, peat, limestone, construction sand, and also discovered deposits of aluminum ore - bauxite. On December 3, 1932, the Labor and Defense Council decided to build the Ural Aluminum Smelter in the area of ​​the village of Krasnaya Gorka. On September 5, 1939, the Ural Aluminum Plant was launched.

The village is no longer associated with a single plant and has a short name - Kamensk On April 20, 1935, it was granted city status. June 6, 1940 Kamensk gets a new name - Kamensk-Uralsky.

Post-war years

During the Great Patriotic War, the Ural Aluminum Plant was the only aluminum plant in the country that provided metal to the USSR aviation. On May 5, 1944, the construction of the Kamensk-Ural Metallurgical Plant was completed. After the war, the industrialization of the city continued due to the evacuated metallurgy and mechanical engineering enterprises that remained here. The city became the third in the region in terms of importance and population after Yekaterinburg and Nizhny Tagil.

For the industrial production of aircraft altimeters, in 1949 the construction of a large Radio Plant (PO Oktyabr) began in the city and a design bureau was opened. In September 1951, the first products were produced at the radio plant.

In 1960, gasification of the city began primarily for the needs of enterprises.

In 1970, the city's radio-electronic industry was replenished with the Iset plant of electrical connectors for aviation and space technology.

In the 1980s and 1990s, no new large industrial enterprises appeared in the city. Existing factories gradually increased production volumes, new workshops were built, automation was introduced, and new types of products were mastered (especially consumer goods). In the 1990s, a new large residential microdistrict “Yuzhny” was built on the western outskirts of the Krasnogorsk district.

After the collapse of the USSR, the city's city-forming enterprises faced a new problem: products that were always in short supply, even when the state plan was exceeded, were not being sold. Yesterday's buyers could not pay for goods already delivered, hence there was no money for raw materials and wages.

In 1992, the process of privatization of the city's factories began. It was accompanied by delays in wages, layoffs of workers, and a shortened working week. Kindergartens, recreation camps, and sports facilities were transferred by the factories to the municipality, which was unable to cope with their financing. The population began to decrease in these years, which was associated not only with natural decline, but also with migration from the city in search of work. New collective gardens and vegetable gardens have appeared in large numbers near the city.

Small trade and the service sector received impetus for development. At street intersections and bus stops, retail outlets stood close together in the form of large iron boxes with small barred windows. The financial pyramids MMM, Khoper-Invest, Russian House Selenga and others had their representative offices in the city.

The first cable television and the first television company in the city, Fakt, appeared.

After a strong decline in production, large enterprises (in particular JSC SinTZ, JSC KUMZ, JSC KUZOTsM) began to develop the export of their products to the markets of North America and Western Europe.

New trade rules led to the fact that iron kiosks gradually disappeared. They were replaced by shops located on the first floors of former apartments along the central streets of the city (Aluminium, Pobedy Avenue, Suvorov), bus stops, and minimarkets.

ΧΧΙ century

In 2001, large-scale celebrations of the city’s 300th anniversary were held, accompanied by concerts, a carnival, and fireworks. Also on this occasion, for the first time in many years, the facades of houses and asphalt surfaces are being repaired.

Large shopping and shopping and entertainment centers are opening: “Kit”, “Orange-City”, “Oktyabrsky”, “Megamart”, “Jazz”; car dealerships.

The financial crisis that began in 2008 primarily hit the banking sector and metallurgy enterprises (UAZ, KUMZ, SinTZ, KUZOTsM). Already in November they announced staff reductions, and KUZOTsM and UAZ were under threat of closure. After this, PO Oktyabr, OJSC Plant Iset, as well as smaller enterprises announced layoffs.

On December 28, 2010, a new joint venture between TMK-INOX and Rusnano for the production of stainless steel pipes using nanotechnology was opened at the SinTZ industrial site.

Physiographic characteristics

The city is located in the flat part of the eastern slope of the Urals on the border with Siberia at the confluence of the Kamenka River and the Iset River, 101 kilometers southeast of the city of Yekaterinburg.

Climate

Climatic characteristics
average temperature
	September
Precipitation	Average annual
Wind speed	Average annual
Source: Kamensk-Uralsky weather station

The climate of the territory is moderate continental. In winter, the influence of the Siberian anticyclone is predominantly felt, causing persistent frosty weather. There are frequent intrusions of cold air masses from the north and warm ones from the south, which are associated with weather changes. In summer, cold weather is often brought by air masses from the Barents and Kara Seas.

The long-term average annual temperature is +2.4 °C, the average temperature of the hottest month (July) is 19.3 °C and the coldest month (January) is −13.5 °C. Prevailing winds are northwest, west and southwest.

The region belongs to a zone of sufficient moisture; the average annual precipitation is 467 mm. Most of the precipitation falls in the warm season (350 mm).

• Average annual air temperature - 2.4 °C
• Relative air humidity - 69.0%
• Average wind speed - 3.2 m/s

Hydrography

In the southwest of the city there is a chain of lakes: Big and Small Sungul, Chervyanoye, Shablish, Big Kuyash. These are steppe reservoirs with low sandy shores; some of the lakes have brackish water.

Flora and fauna

The area around the city is part of the forest-steppe zone. Forests, birch groves and birch-aspen groves predominate, which are combined with meadow steppe. At the same time, the entire forest is young and easily passable. The taiga surrounding the Kamensky plant in the 18th-19th centuries was cut down to make charcoal. Shrubs include viburnum, juniper, hawthorn, broom, rose hips, and in the south - steppe cherry.

The fauna is small (there are hare, roe deer, beaver, muskrat, squirrel). There are about 70 species of birds. In the city there are pigeon, sparrow, raven, magpie, rook, wagtail, woodpecker, nightingale, swallow, gull, tit, goldfinch, bullfinch, nuthatch.

Ecological state

The city is environmentally unfavorable. A large number of industrial enterprises has led to severe pollution of the atmosphere, soil and water sources.

Atmosphere. The main contribution to emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere comes from the Krasnogorsk CHPP (44.6%) and UAZ-SUAL, a branch of OJSC SUAL (36.3%). The unfavorable state of atmospheric air is determined by emissions of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, benzo(a)pyrene, hydrogen fluoride and ammonia. The contribution to emissions by ingredient from individual plants is as follows:

• sulfur dioxide - Krasnogorsk CHPP (91.4%)
• carbon monoxide - "UAZ-SUAL" - branch of OJSC "SUAL" (81.1%)
• nitrogen dioxide - Krasnogorsk CHPP (74.8%); OJSC SinTZ (16.0%)
• hydrogen fluoride - "UAZ-SUAL" - branch of OJSC "SUAL" (98.7%)
• benz(a)pyrene "UAZ-SUAL" - branch of OJSC "SUAL" (100%)
• ammonia MUP KU VET Housing and Communal Services (30.9%); OJSC "Kamensk-Uralsky Meat Plant" (25.3%); PO "October" (11.9%); OJSC "Kamensk-Uralsky Cold Storage Plant" (10.2%).

Atmospheric pollution is 68% caused by the work of industrial enterprises and 32% by motor vehicles. Vehicle emissions within the city partially decreased after the road opened in 2008 Southern bypass, allowing to divert the flow of transit transport Yekaterinburg-Kurgan from the city.

Water

The main river of the city, the Iset, is polluted by discharges from industrial enterprises along its entire course even before Kamensk-Uralsky (especially in Yekaterinburg). In the city, the river water is not even suitable for swimming.

24 enterprises in the city have 22 wastewater discharges into the Iset River and its tributaries. The main consumers of water and sources of wastewater in the city are:

• MUP KU VET Housing and Communal Services (53%);
• "UAZ-SUAL" - a branch of OJSC "SUAL" (16.9%);
• OJSC SinTZ (13.3%);
• CJSC Nerudservice (6.5%);
• OJSC "KUMZ" (4.7%).

Soils

In 2003, 28.2% of soil samples taken in the territory of Kamensk-Uralsky revealed high soil contamination with heavy metals. Based on the content of heavy metals in the soil, the following series can be constructed (in descending order): Mn, Zn, Ni, Cr, Cu, Cd, Co, Pb. However, the level of soil contamination is characterized as acceptable.

In 2005, enterprises transported 1,179.46 thousand tons or 255.61 thousand m³ of solid waste to landfills, which is 0.47% of the total volume of waste generation in the region.

Radiation pollution

The Kyshtym accident, which occurred at the Mayak production plant located in the neighboring Chelyabinsk region in 1957, had the most negative impact on the radiation situation in the city.
