Demidov

With the beginning of the eighteenth century, Russia rapidly rushed to
east to develop the richest region of the empire. From now on, things went
not just about Russia's participation in international trade, but about
turning it into a powerful European power. For
what was necessary, at a minimum, to have a strong army and
fleet, which, in turn, could appear only with
conditions for the development of metallurgical and mining production.
Large capitals were required for the construction of factories. At
state, as always occupied with a host of other problems,
there was not enough money for new cares. Tsar Peter Alekseevich
tried to build state factories. One of them originated in
1701 on the Neiva River. But, alas, they worked very badly.
Therefore, when the Tula breeder Nikita Demidov's son (according to
nicknamed Antufiev) said he was ready to increase
production of pig iron and iron, and sell it to the treasury
I agree at prices half the price of foreign ones, Nevyansky
the plant was immediately transferred into his hands.

Elder - Akinfiy
was immediately
sent to raise
Nevyansk plant.

efforts will be built

Both had a strong character, and in conflicts between them often,
as they say, "a scythe found a stone." Both will show
remarkable talent in the organization of metallurgical production.
Nikita Sr. will have time to see 7 metallurgical plants,
built with his own hands, Nikita Jr. will be able to
to bequeath to their children 11 enterprises in the Urals and in the Moscow region.

"The Power of Place" recalls 8 outstanding figures of science, art, sports, born in the Urals

1. The only 6-time Olympic champion in the history of speed skating Lydia Skoblikova was born in the city of Zlatoust. Skoblikova set a unique achievement in the history of speed skating in 1964, collecting 8 gold medals out of 8 at the Olympic Games and at the World Championships. After this triumph, she was accepted into the party by N. S. Khrushchev himself by telephone. Her sports nickname became the name of the ice sports palace in Chelyabinsk - "Ural Lightning".

2. In 1765, the naturalist E.G. Laxman was one of the first to appreciate the invention Ivan Polzunov. According to the scientist, Polzunov is “a husband who does honor to his fatherland. He is now building a fiery machine, completely different from the Hungarian and English ones.
Ivan Polzunov (March 14, 1728 - May 27, 1766) - Russian inventor, creator of the first steam engine in Russia and the world's first two-cylinder steam engine.

3. Ernst Neizvestny (April 9, 1925 – August 9, 2016), Russian sculptor he said this about Sverdlovsk-Yekaterinburg:

“This is the city of my childhood, my youth. It is associated with some emotional memories. Here is the post office where I met my future wife, here is the monument that I was supposed to make, but they didn’t give me. Therefore, Sverdlovsk is not a city for me, like architecture. It looks like the city of Bradbury - the city of spirits, the spirits of my life.

4.Sergei Aksakov- the author of perhaps the most popular children's fairy tale "The Scarlet Flower"- was also born in the Urals, in Ufa, in 1791.

5. The first pseudonym of this famous Ural writer is Tomsky. He signed some of his works as Bash-Kurt or Onik. And under the pseudonyms one of the most popular Ural writers was hiding - Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak(October 25, 1852 - November 2, 1912).

6. World boxing champion Kostya Tszyu was born on September 19, 1969 in Serov. A sports career began in the section of the Youth Sports School at the age of 9.

In 1991, Novoselov was admitted to the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) at the Faculty of Physical and Quantum Electronics. Curiously, shortly before that, he received a "troika" in the entrance exam in mathematics at the Nizhny Tagil Polytechnic Institute.

Business people

Due to historical and geographical features in the Urals, since the 18th century, a completely specific attitude towards labor and capital began to take shape. By the time of the reign of Peter I, the Urals remained the frontier of "old" Russia, the boundary separating "civilization" from the "wild East," where "the tsar is far away, God is high."

In 1702, Peter I transferred the rights to own the Ural state-owned factories to the Tula gunsmith Nikita Antyufeev (future Demidov), a supplier of weapons for the Russian army during the war with the Swedes. The Demidovs quickly realized what the beauty of the Urals was. Here they could not reckon either with the directorate of state-owned factories, or with the local administration, or with private traders. Having received the factories for use practically free of charge, the Demidovs quickly set up production, reached super profits and became one of the richest people not only in the Urals, but also in Russia. In order to establish state control over the factories, in 1720 Vasily Tatishchev (future historiographer) was sent there, who founded the Mining Chancellery here. She had to put things in order in production. Needless to say, the Demidovs were not very happy about the arrival of an inspector from the center to their land? Between Tatishchev and "local capital" a real raider war began, accompanied by numerous letters "upstairs". Tatishchev accused the Demidovs of dumping prices, of arbitrariness at the factories, the Demidovs accused Tatishchev of deliberately delaying the delivery of grain to the factories so that the workers could not work due to hunger.

The well-known mining engineer Wilhelm de Genin was entrusted with dealing with this problem, who, after long litigation, nevertheless sided with Vasily Tatishchev. In a letter to Peter I, he wrote: "Demidov is not very nice that Your Majesty's factories will bloom here, so that he could sell more of his iron, and set the price as he wanted, and the workers all went to his factories, but did not on yours." A special kind of labor society, the so-called mining civilization, was formed at the Ural factories. The civil authorities here had practically no weight, since the entire Urals would be militarized and governed according to the Mining Regulations. Even the laws that were in force on all the territories of Russia had no weight here.

A fugitive peasant, caught in any part of the country, was to be returned to the owner, but in the Urals it was not at all like that. Factories in need of working hands opened their doors to everyone - both runaway convicts, deserter recruits, and persecuted schismatics. The living and working conditions at the factories, of course, left much to be desired, but any complaints were nipped in the bud. Yes, and how to complain to the invisible people who themselves fled from the right hand of the state? Therefore, they endured and worked.

Kasli casting. Sculptors in the years. figured iron casting appears at the Kasli plant. Grilles, garden furniture, fireplaces, and chamber sculpture were cast in Kasli. They were different in form, but always amazed by the skill of execution. A great contribution to the heritage of the art of the Ural casting was made by such sculptors as M.D. Kanaev, N.R. Bach, P.K. Klodt, E.A. Lancer. Kanaev Mikhail Denisovich (1830–1880) was born in Yekaterinburg. He studied at the Academy of Arts, in 1855 he was awarded the title of artist in sculpture. Having received an offer to take the place of a factory sculptor, he agrees to this job and goes to the Urals. The main works of Kanaev: "Hercules Breaking the Cave of the Winds", "Frost the Demon", "Hut on Chicken Legs", "Bacchae by the Tree", "Boy Playing Snowballs".

The serf painters Khudoyarovs Demidov for his Moscow and St. Petersburg palaces. In the Moscow suburban house of Demidov there was a room with a mirror ceiling, decorated on the walls with “varnished, painted boards”, on which the most diverse and colorful birds and butterflies are depicted with great art. For this work, amazing in its subtlety and skill, Demidov “granted” his serf painters each with a sash, hat and “caftans”, and his father, Andrei Khudoyarov, “fired from factory work.” The Khudoyarov family occupies a special place in the development of pictorial art in Nizhny Tagil. Popular rumor attributed the invention of "crystal varnish" to one of the Khudoyarov brothers. The Khudoyarovs are descended from the Old Believers. As family tradition testifies, their ancestors fled from the Volga to the Urals in order to preserve the "old faith". The Khudoyarovs were known as icon painters. This craft, under the influence of local conditions, received a new direction, becoming predominantly secular.

Famous writers of the Urals The most famous Ural writers are Sergei Aksakov, Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak and Pavel Bazhov. Dmitry Narkisovich Mamin-Sibiryak - real name - Mamin The first fruit of this study was a series of travel essays "From the Urals to Moscow" later, many Russian writers will draw inspiration from here (), published in the Moscow newspaper "Russian Vedomosti"; then in the magazine "Delo" his essays "In the Stones", stories ("At the turn of Asia", "In thin souls", etc.) were published. Many were signed with the pseudonym D. Sibiryak. The works of Mamin-Sibiryak for children became widely known: Alyonushka's Tales (), Gray Neck (1893), Lightning Lightning (1897), Across the Urals (1899) and others. The last major works of the writer are the novels "Features from the life of Pepko" (1894), "Shooting Stars" (1899) and the story "Mumma" (1907).

Pavel Petrovich Bazhov (January 27, 1967) is a famous Russian Soviet writer, famous Ural storyteller, prose writer, talented processor of folk tales, legends, Ural tales. The surname Bazhov comes from the local word "bazhit" - that is, to tell fortunes, to foretell. Bazhov also had a boyish street nickname - Koldunkov. And later, when Bazhov began to print his works, he signed one of his pseudonyms - Koldunkov. Bazhov's writing path began relatively late: the first book of essays, "The Urals were," was published in 1939. Only in 1939 were his most significant works published - a collection of tales "The Malachite Box", which received the USSR State Prize in 1943, and the autobiographical story about childhood "Green filly". In the future, Bazhov replenishes the "Malachite Box" with new tales: "The Key-Stone" (1942), "Tales about the Germans" (1943), "Tales about gunsmiths" and others. His later works can be defined as "tales" not only because of their formal genre features (the presence of a fictional narrator with an individual speech characteristic), but also because they go back to the Ural "secret tales" - the oral legends of miners and prospectors, characterized by a combination of real -household and fabulous elements. Bazhov's works, originating from the Ural "secret tales" or oral legends of miners and prospectors, combine real-life and fantastic elements. The tales, which absorbed plot motifs, the colorful language of folk legends and folk wisdom, embodied the philosophical and ethical ideas of our time. He worked on the collection of tales "The Malachite Box" from 1936 until the last days of his life. It was first published as a separate edition in 1939. Then, from year to year, the "Malachite Box" was replenished with new tales.

Directly artistic and literary activity began late, at the age of 57 years. According to him, “there was simply no time for this kind of literary work. The creation of tales became the main business of Bazhov's life. In addition, he edited books and almanacs, including those on Ural local history. Aksakov Sergey Timofeevich () Russian writer, government official and public figure, literary and theater critic, memoirist, author of books on fishing and hunting, lepidopterologist. The father of Russian writers and public figures of the Slavophiles: Aksakov's work, Aksakov's stories, is primarily a story about the beautiful nature of the Southern Urals. Probably, you need to be endlessly in love with these lands in order to write about them the way Aksakov did. Although most of his contemporaries know first of all Aksakov's fairy tale "The Scarlet Flower".

Nikolai Kolyada Nikolai Vladimirovich Kolyada is a Soviet and Russian actor, writer, playwright, screenwriter, theater director, Honored Art Worker of the Russian Federation, laureate of the International Prize. K.S. Stanislavsky. Nikolai Kolyada is the author of 93 plays. 38 plays were staged at different times in theaters in Russia, near and far abroad.

For several years he led his television author's program called "Black Cashier" at the Sverdlovsk State Television and Radio Company. In 2002, he hosted the My World program on the Kultura TV channel. Nikolai Kolyada lives and works in Yekaterinburg.

Rock musicians in the late 1970s. in Yekaterinburg, there were several rock bands, among which were "Trek", "Urfin Juice", etc. In 1981, under the auspices of the Sverdlovsk Architectural Institute, the first Sverdlovsk rock festival was held. In the mid 1980s. in the Middle Urals, such a phenomenon of modern youth culture as the Sverdlovsk rock club was born, uniting a large number of musical groups of various styles and trends. N. Grakhov became its president. The whole country recognized the groups "Cabinet", "Nautilius Pompilus", "Chayf", "April March", "Agatha Christie" and others. Many of these groups originated in the depths of higher educational institutions in Yekaterinburg.

The title was officially established by the city executive committee on September 8, 1967, and on November 1, 1967, the oldest revolutionary Ivan Stepanovich Belostotsky became the first, as it was then considered, an honorary citizen of the city. However, this was not the case.
