Alexandersk (Perm Zone) 10,000 inhabitants, no small cities." A joint project with the Center for the Study of Small Cities (Ivanovo region). Located on the western slope of the Middle Urals, on the Litna River (Kama basin). Not to be confused with Aleksandrak, Murmansk region. In 1802, Weswood and Skowrozhsky began building the Litonansky ironworks, later renamed in honor of the owner's eldest son Alexander. Vsevolozhsky was the owner of a complex of Orel enterprises: from his uncle he received the Pozhvinsky plant, salt mines and the Kitslovsky mine, Aleksandrovsky became the first large factory built from scratch. He was followed by Maikorsky (1811) and Vsevolod-Vilvensky (1818). At the Pozhvinsky plant, mechanic Peter Sobolevsky built the first steamer of his design on Kama. In 1825, a school was opened at the Alexander factory. The Lancaster method was used - the more trained students taught the rest. The most talented 18-year-olds were sent to Rabovo near St. Petersburg - to study mining, topography, forestry, architecture. In 1820 coal deposits were discovered in the area of ​​the plant. Metalworking production is organized to ensure its production. Vessels were made, later steam engines. In 1879 a train passed through the village, the station of Aleksandrovsky Zavo in 1910 was named Kopi. Since 1861, the production of cast iron decreased, the plant eventually became the property of Pavel Demidov. In 1912, cast iron production was converted into repair shops to serve the Lunev coal mines, while simultaneously developing mechanical engineering. In the mid-1920s, the plant produced only mining equipment, copied from foreign samples. The old park of the factory had its own movement rule: walking against the clock, without interfering with agility.
