Novouralsk

Among the cities of Sverdlovsk Oblast, Novouralsk stands out as a closed city shaped by Russia’s nuclear industry. It lies on the eastern side of the Middle Urals, amid wooded ridges and lakes in the transition zone between Europe and Siberia. Founded during the Soviet era as Sverdlovsk-44, the settlement developed around the Ural Electrochemical Combine, a uranium-enrichment enterprise central to its identity. Novouralsk remains a closed administrative territory, with regulated entry; its planned Soviet-era districts and civic life evolved under that special status.
