The city of Zlatoust: climate, ecology, areas, economy, crime and attractions

Over the three hundred years of its existence, Zlatoust, founded in 1754 on the site of the Novo-Uralsky prison, managed to cover the path from a workers' village at an ironworks to a modern city. The entire fate of the policy is inextricably linked with metallurgy and its accompanying industries. It was here that the first Russian cannons were cast, and the skill of local gunsmiths, watchmakers, and metal engravers is known far beyond the borders of not only the Urals, but also the country. The sights of Zlatoust, photos and descriptions of which you will find below, are original and colorful. Factory Square in the historical part of the city, for example, is included in the register of cultural heritage sites of the Russian Federation.

The five-meter statue is placed on a pedestal lined with red granite.

The building of the cinema "Colosseum"

Address: st. Kalinina, 3. Transport stop “Diagnostic Center”.

At the beginning of the last century, the inhabitants of Zlatoust showed a keen interest in the most important of the arts, according to the leader of the world revolution. Therefore, there were two cinemas operating in the city at once. However, by coincidence, a fire destroyed both wooden buildings. Then it was decided to build a new cinema, made of stone. The colorful mansion with intricate decor regularly performed educational functions until the end of the 30s of the 20th century. Later, an archive and then a supermarket were located within its walls. However, at all times the original building remained an architectural landmark of Zlatoust.

Stele "Europe - Asia"

Address: M5 highway, eight km from Zlatoust.

This attraction is visible to all travelers traveling along the M5 highway in the direction of Miass. Eight km from Zlatoust, a stele was installed on the side of the road. It is in this place that the geographical border between Europe and Asia lies. The height of the obelisk, made of stainless steel, is about 7 m. Signs on the structure are placed so that the driver sees the name of the part of the Eurasian continent into which he is driving.

Story

Chrysostom
Holy Trinity Cathedral. View from the southwest. Approximately 1900 Monument to P.P. Anosov, Third International Square The first Russian temporary settlement on the territory of modern Zlatoust arose at the end of the 17th century in connection with the search for gold. In 1664, Elder Lot from the Dalmatovsky Assumption Monastery admitted under torture that he had made a trip to the Southern Urals, during which he was informed that gold and silver was being smelted on Lake Irtyash, mined on the “Siberian Mountain”, located in the upper reaches of Ufa, Yaika and Gadai. In 1668-1674, a large military-geological expedition was equipped, consisting of more than 1 thousand people with guns and equipment, which in 1672 built the Novo-Uralsky fort in the area of the current Taganay National Park. This fort became the first Russian settlement on the territory of the modern Chelyabinsk region. However, geological research ended in complete failure, which is stated in the chronicle in the following terms: “ Nothing was found, and great futility and destruction was caused to the sovereign’s treasury.”

" After the failure, the fort was abandoned. In 1708, the story about the “Siberian Mountain” was accidentally discovered in the documents of the Siberian Provincial Chancellery and reported to the secretary of Peter I A.D. Makarov. V.N. Tatishchev was instructed to check the information about silver ore. In the 1720s, a new expedition working near the ruins of the fort did not find metal in the local rock. In 1741, a new expedition arrived at the destroyed fort, which discovered iron ore and chose a place to build the Zlatoust plant.

In 1754, A.P. Mosolov, on patrimonial lands purchased from the Bashkirs near Mount Kosotur, founded an ironworks, which was later named in honor of St. John Chrysostom Zlatoust

. The decree of the Berg College on the construction of the plant was issued on August 31, 1754. The plant got its name due to the intentions of the owners to build a church in the name of St. John Chrysostom in the factory village, which was built in 1865. Thus, the plant received its name long before construction began. According to local historians, the image of John Chrysostom was the family icon of the family of the founder of the plant, entrepreneur A.P. Mosolov.

In 1782, the Zlatoust plant became the administrative center of the Zlatoust district of the Ufa region of the Ufa governorate. After the abolition of governorships, the village and district in 1796 administratively became part of the Orenburg province.

In 1811, the plant was bought by the state and became a state-owned plant. This led to a change in the status of the factory village, which acquired the status of a mountain town and became the economic center of the Zlatoust mountain district.

In 1824, Emperor Alexander I visited Chrysostom, and in 1857, Emperor Alexander II.

In 1865, in connection with the creation of the Ufa province, the city became part of it as the administrative center of the Zlatoust district.

In 1890, a railway station was put into operation, named Zlatoust after the name of the city near which it was built, this simplified, on the one hand, the delivery of metallurgical products of the plant and other goods, in particular, furs to the European part of the country, previously delivered by horse-drawn carts and then rafted by water. through the rivers of the Kama basin, on the other hand, it made it possible to start using fuel oil and coal from the Donetsk coal basin, instead of wood, which was depleted as a result of many years of cutting down trees. The Samara-Ufa railway was renamed the Samara-Zlatoust railway. In 1891, with the continuation of the construction of the railway to Chelyabinsk and further to the Siberian Railway, the plant began producing rail fastenings.

By 1900, the city had 2916 houses, of which 299 were stone, 8 church institutions, including one Old Believer church, a Roman Catholic church, a Protestant church, a city three-class school, 2 one-class schools (male and female), 4 elementary schools, city and factory hospitals and pharmacies, city library. There were factories: a state-owned iron-smelting and iron-making plant (1,000 workers), 7 polishing plants, a beer-mead factory, a soap factory, a cloth factory and a number of small enterprises, including an artel of craftsmen making handicrafts of iron and steel products (3,000 workers).

In 1903, there was a mass shooting of a meeting of striking workers of the Zlatoust state-owned plant. 69 people were killed, more than 250 were injured, and more than 100 were arrested.

By the mid-1910s, the city's population numbered approximately 20,000.

Weapons and Crafts Center

Monument to I. N. Bushuev, sculptor V. P. Zharikov.
Station Square In 1815, an arms factory was built (it produced edged weapons, the first craftsmen were gunsmiths from the German city of Solingen), in 1859 - a steel factory. The first steel cannons in Russia were cast.

Since the beginning of the 19th century, Zlatoust has been the center of artistic metal engraving, which originated as an auxiliary production for decorating sabers, dirks, and swords. Nowadays, gift weapons are decorated with gold and silver notches, and decorative panels are made on steel plates.

The ensemble of the factory square (XIX century, III International Square) is an object of historical and cultural heritage of federal significance.

Soviet period

Coat of arms (1966)
On December 4, 1917, Soviet power was established in Zlatoust. On May 27, 1918, near the railway station, a battle took place between legionnaires of the Czechoslovak corps and local Red Guards, who tried to disarm a train of about 800 legionnaires that had arrived at the station the day before. On June 25, 1918, the city was abandoned by Red Guard units. On July 13, 1919, during the Zlatoust operation, the city was captured by units of the 5th Army of the Eastern Front of the Red Army.

During the administrative-territorial reforms in 1919-1934, Zlatoust repeatedly underwent changes in status and territorial affiliation. In 1919 and 1922, the boundaries and composition of the county changed. In 1922, in connection with the abolition of the Ufa province, Zlatoust became part of the Autonomous Bashkir Socialist Soviet Republic. In August 1922 it became the district center of the Chelyabinsk province. After its abolition in 1923 and the creation of the Ural region, it became the administrative center of the Zlatoust district. In 1930, the districts of the Ural region were liquidated, Zlatoust became an independent city of regional subordination. In 1934, the Ural region was abolished with the creation of three regions, one of which was Chelyabinsk. Zlatoust was not affected by further administrative and territorial changes in the Chelyabinsk region.

In 2004, Zlatoust became the administrative center of the Zlatoust urban district of the Chelyabinsk region. It is interesting that in No. 1 of the magazine “Around the World” for 1928 there is information with the following content: “ In Zlatoust, Ural region, while digging pits, flint axes and arrowheads were found. Further excavations by local archaeologists yielded two human skeletons. Both skeletons are well preserved. One of them, according to the study, belongs to a person 2 meters and 10 centimeters tall, and according to its origin, it dates back to the Ice Age

».

More than 30 thousand Zlatoust residents took part in the Great Patriotic War, more than 9 thousand of them did not return from the battlefields. During the war years, the city's enterprises produced 1.58 million tons of steel, 1.4 million tons of rolled steel, 13.8 million shells and mines, 109.5 thousand machine guns of various brands, 41.8 thousand aircraft guns, 292.3 thousand ... watches for tanks, aircraft and the Navy. During this period, evacuated equipment and specialists from more than 20 enterprises arrived in Zlatoust, including: Tula Arms, Podolsk Mechanical, First Moscow Watch, First State Precise Technical Stones (TTK-1), 2nd Luga Abrasive Plant.

Also during the war, camp No. 337 of the NKVD of the Chelyabinsk Region was located in the city for interned prisoners of war of foreign armies.

Zlatoust was awarded the Order of the October Revolution (1980).

Air pollution

The city has an increased level of air pollution: in 2000, 7,757 tons of pollutants were released into the atmosphere, the main share (87%) of which came from the metallurgical plant. 2345 tons (23.2%) were caught and neutralized. Until 1996, there was a decrease in the level of air pollution; in 1999-2000. growth was recorded again, but compared to 1993, the level of emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere decreased by 1.5 times. The air is most polluted in the old part of the city, which is due to the concentration of a large number of industrial enterprises here.

According to data from the Main Geophysical Observatory named after. A.I. Voeykova as of January 1, 2020, the average annual concentrations of pollutants are as follows:

suspended substances - 1.1 MAC;

nitrogen dioxide - 0.9 MPC;

benz(a)pyrene - 1.8 MPC;

formaldehyde - 1.1 MAC.

Air quality in the city (according to RD 52.04.667-2005):

2017 – high level of pollution;

2018 – high level of pollution;

2019 - increased pollution levels.

The city periodically cleans the city pond and the Balashikha reservoir from bottom sediments, a 2,100 m long gravity sewer tunnel has been built under Malaya Tatarka Mountain, and options for recycling municipal solid waste are being explored.

City infrastructure

In all cities of Russia, housing and communal services are maintained, water supply repairs are carried out in a timely manner (this is why hot water is turned off every summer), clean entrances and the absence of garbage in the courtyards are the main advantages. Unfortunately, not everyone fulfills their duties conscientiously, not all old houses are repaired on time and often the elimination of various accidents occurs more slowly than desired. New houses are rarely built, so when buying an apartment, you have to choose options in old ones.

Northwestern part of the city

The regional budget regularly allocates money for expanding roads and updating the road surface; not only the main highways of the city are updated, but also exits from courtyards and adjacent areas do not go unnoticed. The city hosts a large number of events aimed at improving the appearance and cleanliness of the city.

The city's healthcare is at an average level; often, to resolve complex situations and issues, one has to travel to the regional center.

The city's education system includes 37 schools, in which 22 thousand students receive secondary education. The situation with preschool education is as follows: in 73 institutions (preschool educational institutions) 73.2% of children from 1 to 7 years old are covered, and some institutions became laureates of the All-Russian competition “Kindergarten of the Year”. Citizens receive professional skills in 7 vocational schools, as well as in branches of various universities.

Transport

The city is home to the administration of the Zlatoust region of the South Ural Railway and the Zlatoust railway station, located on the historical route of the Trans-Siberian Railway. It was built during the construction of the Samara-Zlatoust railway.

Suburban and intercity passenger transportation, in addition to rail transport, is also carried out by buses. There is a bus station in the city.

Tram and bus routes are developed, minibuses and taxis operate.

Tram lines in Zlatoust are the second in time of origin and the third in length in the Chelyabinsk region. The tram system is the highest in Russia.

Crime

The crime situation in the city remains tense and requires special attention, as in the 90s, there is a large number of crimes and a low detection rate. For example, in 2011, the number of registered crimes decreased by 5.2%, and the detection rate of crimes decreased by 2%.

Often criminal groups are created by teenagers, the crimes committed are characterized by severity, and their number is steadily growing. Fraudsters who develop clever financial pyramids and bribery of officials do not make the situation in the city calmer. In general, the city leaves a positive impression, but when you come here, you need to keep your eyes open and it is advisable not to walk along the streets at night.
