Krasnoturinsk

Few cities in Sverdlovsk Oblast have a history as closely tied to Soviet aluminium production as Krasnoturinsk. Set on the Turya River in the northern Urals, the city grew around the Bogoslovsky Aluminium Plant, an enterprise that shaped this part of the region during the 20th century. Its story also reaches beyond heavy industry: radio pioneer Alexander Popov was born here in 1859, when the settlement was known as Turinskiye Rudniki, and a memorial museum preserves that connection. Krasnoturinsk remains a working northern-Ural city, framed by extensive forest country.
