Chelyabinsk is a city of many names

On the one hand, Chelyabinsk, unlike many other Russian cities, has never changed its name. On the other hand, it is one of the record holders in the number of unofficial titles. "Tankograd", "Trans-Ural Chicago", "Gates of the Great Siberian Way", the well—known "Cast-iron Capital of Russia" - whatever it was called. During the trip, you will learn how and why all these names appeared, as well as how they once tried to rename Chelyabinsk and what happened.

The Gates of the Great Siberian Way

Traveling around Chelyabinsk, you will be transported back 100 years to the day when the railway came here and forever changed the fate of the quiet Ural town. I will show you the old and new railway stations, as well as tell you about the wonderful image of the hero of the Urals, made in stone and greeting all those arriving by train.

A city on the eternal frontier

Despite the fact that Chelyabinsk has never been close to the state border, it has always been a border city. Having emerged as a fortress at the intersection of trade routes from Asia to Europe, today it stretches on the border of two large-scale geographical zones. You will definitely visit the place where the sign marking the border between the Urals and Siberia is installed, and also see how the Ural and Siberian parts of Chelyabinsk differ from each other.
