Влияние индустриализации на формирование облика советской Перми в 1930-е годы
The 1930s became a period of formation of a new Ural identity. Based on the myth of the "stronghold of the state" and the concept of a "storehouse", the idea of the Greater Urals as a "fortress" was formed, which occurred due to accelerated industrialization and the emergence of giant factories, such as the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant in Sverdlovsk, the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, the Berezniki Chemical Plant and dozens of other metallurgical, machine-building and chemical enterprises. The former provincial capital Perm also contributed to the formation of the new image of the Urals. In 1923, it lost its former status and was reduced to the regional center of the Ural Region, but managed to significantly increase its industrial potential in the 1930s.
