Urals - the most industrialized zone of planet Earth. Total industrialization of the region began with the reforms of Peter I, and under Catherine II, thanks to the Urals, the Russian Empire entered world industrial leaders. In domestic history, this happened only once - at the end of the 18th century. By this time, more than two hundred mountain plants were built in the Urals.

to achieve such an outstanding result of the Russian government, very specific methods managed. The national industry, private and official, was derived from the laws of the Empire and organized as a power in a power. The state of mining plants with its legislation and its court was built in the Urals, with its bureaucratic hierarchy and its administrative division, with its own capital - the “ideal city” of Yekaterinburg.
