Chelyabinsk
Chelyabinsk is situated in one of the most picturesque parts of Russia – in the Urals. It was founded in 1736. In the 19th century Chelyabinsk was a small provincial town. According to the census of 1897 the population of Chelyabinsk was only 20000 people.
In 1897 the Trans-Siberian railway was built through Chelyabinsk giving a town an impulse for its further development. The speedy growth of Chelyabinsk began in the 30s when major industrial enterprises began to be built there.
Modern Chelyabinsk has changed beyond recognition. Now it’s a great industrial city and an important cultural centre. Its seven large districts house more than a million inhabitants. The production of about a hundred plants and factories is well known in this country and abroad. On the other hand city’s heavy industry creates scores of ecological problems that the city-dwellers come across practically every day.
The centre of the city is a quiet residential area. A few trolley-bus stops and you find yourself in Gagarin Park. Not many cities can boast of a rich pine forest within a couple kilometers of the central square. The shopping area stretches along Lenin Avenue, Kirov Street and nearby blocks. At every torn you can find dozens of small shops with a variety of goods. The biggest department store is the Trade Centre, of course.
The cultural life isn’t at a standstill. Chelyabinsk has old theatrical traditions. Its Drama Theatre, whose original building catches your eye at Revolution Square, Chamber Theatre, Students’ Theatre “Mannequin”, Puppet Theatre are known far outside this city. Chelyabinsk has a splendid Organ Hall with one of the best instruments in the country, an Opera House and a concert hall. If you are interested in art you can visit various exhibitions of local and world-famous artists.
The city is growing daily. Modern high-rise apartment houses are built every year, churches and historical places are being restored. Chelyabinsk is comparatively young and open to further progress and it’s becoming more attractive and convenient for living with every passing year.
