Nizhny Tagil - the iron heart of the Urals

Good afternoon. Yesterday saw new issues of our rashi. Very touched two characters from Nizhny Tagil. Residents of the city put up some cattle and gopotoy.
And in general the average Russian citizen association (especially the central part of) the name of Nizhny Tagil - Petrosyan is "gink from Nizhny Tagil," and zones, zones ...
In this regard, I decided to make a post about svy hometown. I want to show that our city - it's not drunk Nerds from our rashi and a bunch of convicts.
There will be many photons and some beech trees. please do not tear the topic. when I finish I will say.





Our city - one of the oldest cities in the Urals. The date of foundation is considered to be in 1722 - the year of the first smelting of iron at a metallurgical plant. In fact, the first settlers came to this place in the early 18th century.
Today, one of the gardoobrazuyuschih enterprises, is the oldest mining company in Russia - Vysokogorsky Mining Plant, which recently celebrated its 300th anniversary. The metal smelted from ore Tagil, quickly gained worldwide fame. Metal with a proprietary brand of "Old sable" preferred other brands, not only in Russia but also in Europe.
The metal smelted at Tagil plants, has been used in the construction of the Statue of Liberty. French businessmen bought copper in Nizhny Tagil, and used it for the construction of the statue, which has become a symbol of US



It was in Nizhny Tagil, a self-taught inventors father and son Cherepanov was the first in Europe (according to some sources in the world) locomotive



At Nizhniy Tagil factories for the first time in Europe it was applied electric lighting, electric and primitive mechanisms.
Russia's first bike was also made Taghilsky master self-taught.
Nizhny Tagil, the birthplace podnosnogo fishing. Trays Painted Tagil masters steady demand both in Russia and abroad



Old Nizhny Tagil Metallurgical Plant, is now the world's only museum-factory. At the plant saved the mechanisms used in the factory in the 18th century. Visiting a museum tour of the plant, all the details can not only learn, but also to see how the steel mills in the past centuries

Nizhny Tagil made a significant contribution to the victory of the Soviet Union in World War II. On the Ural car-building plant, using mechanisms and specialists tank factories evacuated from the west of the country, it was issued 80% of all the legendary T-34 tanks. On Vysokogorskom mechanical factory produced ammunition for the guns, anti-aircraft guns.
We have 2 of these, the workers of the T-34, stand as monuments to the heroism Tagil workers during the Second World



In the pre-revolutionary period, another feature of Nizhny Tagil, was a very large number of cathedrals and churches per capita. Unfortunately, most of the churches have been destroyed by the Bolsheviks in the 20-30 years of the last century. But the churches that remained, are unique examples of ecclesiastical architecture of 18-19 centuries.



Holy Trinity Church



One of the symbols of the city, is a watchtower on one of the dominant points of Nizhny Tagil - Fox Hill. Built in the early 18th century as a watch tower, it has long been used as a watchtower - the whole city was in full view. For a time it housed an astronomical observatory. Now, it's just a beautiful example of ancient architecture



Nizhny Tagil today - is one of the largest cities in the Urals, the superior size and population of some regional centers.
The population of the city with its suburbs, recently incorporated into the city of nearly 350,000 people



Nizhnetagilsky Steel Works - one of the largest steel plants in Russia. It provides most of the needs of Railways in the rails. So if you go by train, trains, 90% likelihood that you are going over the rails produced in Nizhny Tagil.



Ural Railway Car Plant - the main supplier of cars for the needs of Russian Railways, and some railways of other states. If you are traveling by train, the train, you see a long freight train - that most of the cars produced in Nizhny Tagil



Also, the Uralvagonzavod - the main producer of the world's best tank - the T-90!
T-90 - the world's only "jump" the tank - so that can not krticheskih consequences for the crew and suspension at full speed and jump from heights of up to 2 meters (peas, hills, artificial roughness)
One of the few "flying tanks" - is able to overcome the extensive water obstacles and tighter engage



Sorry - I put the wrong picture.
Here it is - the T-90



In addition to such industrial giants as mentioned Vysokogorsky Mining Plant, Nizhny Tagil Metallurgical kombiat and Uralvagonzavod, in our town there are a few large plants - Uralchimplast, Nizhny Tagil Brewery, Nizhny Tagil plant of metal constructions (producing a series of metal structures, not produced because of the complexity of production anywhere in the world), the Nizhny Tagil factory insulation products, Nizhny Tagil Boiler and Radiator Plant, and so on.
Nizhny Tagil - a city-hard worker. City not less than "severe" than Chelyabinsk, not less interesting than many of the city "Golden Ring".



Nizhny Tagil, located on the slopes of the Ural Mountains, which contributes to its geography its specificity - the city is surrounded by mountains of varying heights. Because of this, a certain angle panorama of Nizhny Tagil can be confused with some Shvetsarii.
Trampolines mountain of debt, is one of the largest in Russia, and after reconstruction, they will be carried out world-class competitions.



The city has several institutions that train specialists in different fields - from all annoying economists and lawyers, to a very sought-after technical expertise.
Cultural life is represented by 2-umya theaters - Dramatrugichesky, puppet.
Several cinemas, museums.
Well, all sorts of clubs and cafes, as well as in other cities - for every taste, color and budget



In general, our city - it is not some backwater to drink too much hard workers, idle plants and the complete hopelessness - a beautiful, dynamic city, yavlyayuschisya real "iron heart" of the Urals and Russia.



And finally, a few photos of my city with short commentaries.
