An industrial city in the Chelyabinsk Oblast in the western part of the Russian Federation. It is located in the valley of the Ai River, a tributary of the Ufa River, in the southern Ural Mountains. Population 198,400 (1999). It began with the construction of an iron and copper smelting plant in 1754, and was known for producing high-quality steel needed for weapons (swords). In 1860, the first steel cannon in Russia was produced at an arms factory. Production of high-quality steel expanded even after the Russian Revolution, and it was here that the first ball bearings in Russia were produced. High-quality steel is also used to manufacture precision machinery, heavy machinery, and watches. The city stretches for more than 40 kilometers along a narrow river valley, with factories built on the flat land at the bottom of the valley and houses built on the slopes. A railway and highway run through the city connecting Chelyabinsk and Ufa.
