Berezovsky is the administrative center of the Berezovsky urban district, which, in addition to the city itself, includes the villages of Sarapulka, Staropyshminsk, Klyuchevsk, Kedrovka, Losiny and Monetny. It is located 12 kilometers northeast of Yekaterinburg.
Berezovsky is a city in the Sverdlovsk region, located on the banks of the Berezovka River, from which it got its name. It is considered the birthplace of Russian gold, despite the fact that Ural local historians have established that the first gold in our country was found a little earlier near the village of Shilova. On the spot where peasant Erofey Markov found a gold nugget in 1748, a village was founded, which received city status in 1938. Berezovsky became a city of gold mines. The entire history of the city is connected with this precious metal.
Under the city, the entire underground space is permeated with gold mines. There are few architectural attractions in Berezovsky. Among them we can highlight the Assumption Church of the 19th century and some old buildings. A museum has been opened in Berezovsky on the basis of a training mine, where you can see under what conditions and by what methods gold was mined in past centuries. The city has another interesting attraction that few people know about - this is the first one-story large-panel residential building in the USSR, built in 1945. Builders from all over the country came to see it. And only three years later the first large-panel houses began to be built in Moscow.
An interesting place is located on the northern outskirts of Berezovsky, between the city and the Pyshma River - a piece of real desert. Locals call it Sands. The desert was formed from sand left over from gold mining. It comes here through pipes from the mines. And to the west of Berezovsky there is Mount Listvennaya, on which the ski entertainment complex of the same name is built.

The volume of interbudgetary transfers amounted to 1.9 billion rubles; they were aimed at education and culture.
A set of measures was taken to suppress the “shadow” economy - measures to reduce payment arrears, legalize wages, and attract non-resident organizations to register for taxation in the city. As a result, the consolidated budget of the region received 141 million rubles, of which 76.6 million rubles went to the district budget.

Monument "Miner's Glory"
Photo by: bibick2007
A two-meter figure of a miner, cast in bronze, mounted on a stone pedestal. The site is framed by an improvised vault of the underground face. According to the authors, the miner controls the drilling rig. The industrial unit is also coated with a non-ferrous alloy. The opening of the Miner's Glory monument became a citywide event and was timed to coincide with Miner's Day , which is celebrated on August 25 throughout the country.
The idea of the “Mining Glory” monument belongs to the young Yekaterinburg sculptors-monumentalists Alexander and Dmitry Borodin .
The craftsmen deliberately made the inner surface of the underground “tunnel” not round, but angular, as it should be in a real mine. The total height of the Miner's Glory monument reaches five meters. Located on the guest route, the monument involuntarily attracts the attention of residents and guests of the city with its size.
Berezovsky Museum of the History of the Gold and Platinum Industry of the Urals
Photo by: bibick2007
The Gold Museum has existed in Berezovsky for more than forty years. It was created in 1970 on the initiative of local historian Sylvia Openkina , since then the museum has developed, changed names, buildings, and added more exhibits. Several years ago, the dilapidated museum building required serious reconstruction and was closed for renovation. Work on the creation of the updated Gold Museum took more than four years and required significant investment.
There are a total of five halls in the museum, which made it possible to roughly divide the entire history of gold mining into thematic sections. The first hall talks about gold in general. The second is dedicated to the discovery of Erofei Markov and the beginning of the gold mining industry in the Urals in the 18th century. The discoveries of Lev Brusnitsyn and the life of miners of the 19th century are presented in the third hall. The fourth one virtually immerses you in a mine, where, thanks to special effects, the shadows of miners appear. Finally, the last room is entirely dedicated to the history of the city of Berezovsky and modern gold mining, which continues in the city to this day.

Museum-mine "Russian Gold"
There is another museum in the city on the basis of the training mine of the mine rescue unit. This museum is private, created by Berezovsky’s patriot Valery Lobanov , who rented and renovated the mine, placed samples of mining tools in it and placed figures of workers - convicts and peasants, caretakers, etc. Excursionists here are given helmets with flashlights. You need to keep in mind that it is always cold in the mine (+5 degrees), so in the warm season it is worth taking warm clothes.
If desired, the excursion can be continued on the banks of the Berezovka River , where tourists are offered to try panning for gold. The gold along the river has, of course, all been washed away over the past centuries, but nice crystals of “false gold” - pyrite - can be found without difficulty.

Historical square
historical square
in the city center . Here you can see the very river Berezovka , lined with stone. True, there is almost no water in it, and sometimes it dries out completely. There are beautiful bridges across the river in several places.
The historical square remembers the solemn and rebellious days when troops lined up, working people were rounded up, discontent flared up and was suppressed. Decrees on rewards and punishments were read here.
Serious reconstruction of the Historical Square began only at the end of May 2007. As a result of the work carried out, the canal embankment was lined with paving slabs, the walls behind the monument to Erofei Markov , and the bridges were restored. A chiselled metal fence appeared along the perimeter of the park. And already in June, in celebration of the city day, the opening of the renovated square took place. Today this is one of the vacation spots for Berezovka residents.
There is also a monument to the discoverer of gold Erofey Markov , made in 1973 by the sculptors Zaitsev .
Monument to Erofey Markov
On August 25, 1973, a monument to the discoverer of ore gold, Erofei Markov, . This is the first and so far the only such monument in the country.
Six years ago, the idea of reconstructing the monument to Markov : to make a cast-iron bas-relief with an area of 80 square meters behind it, depicting 36 figures of miners and prospectors. The project of a historical complex with the working title “History of Gold Mining in Russia” was presented for discussion by Berezovka residents. The author was the famous Ural sculptor Konstantin Grunberg .
However, it didn’t work out this time either. Now Erofei Markov stands alone against the backdrop of a concrete wall. The monument is regularly looked after, and fresh flowers periodically appear in front of it.
House of merchant Gabriel Rozhkov
Nearby, on the corner of Lenin and Revolyutsionnaya streets, stands the former house of the merchant Gavriil Rozhkov .

Monument to Kirov
Not far from the Yuzhnaya mine there is a park, on the territory of which there is a monument to S.M. Kirov . During the Soviet Union, the mine administration bore the name of this politician. a sculpture of the Mistress of the Copper Mountain was also installed in this park .
Victory Park
Victory Park was opened in 1975 (originally called “Friendship Park”). It is located between the former Druzhba cinema , the city administration, the stadium near the youth sports school and the city cemetery.
Flowers are planted in the park in the summer, there are also many benches in the park where you can rest, there is a children's playground, and military equipment is installed: guns and tanks, which children enjoy climbing on. Combat samples were collected from various military units in the Urals . In the summer of 2015, military exhibits were moved to the entrance of Victory Park , and a fountain was located in their place.
In addition, on one of the alleys there are memorial stones listing Berezovka residents - participants in the Victory Parade , as well as Berezovka residents who died during hostilities in Afghanistan and Chechnya .
Monument to Brusnitsyn

The grand opening of the monument to the famous fellow countryman, foreman of the Berezovsky gold mines, took place on October 7 in Victory Park .
Art object “NOW”
There might not have been any
unusual letters in Berezovsky Yekaterinburg , “Shestye” was supposed to appear in the capital of the Middle Urals, on the Iset embankment in the area of the keyboard monument . Then they abandoned this. From an idea - not from “Now” . So it moved to Historical Square .
Technologically, these are concrete white letters cast in the same font that residents and guests of the homeland of gold see at the entrance to the city near the word “Berezovsky” . Perhaps in the future they will be painted, and lighting is also expected. Each letter is 80 cm wide, one and a half meters high, and the inscription itself will stretch across the square for ten meters.
The meaning of this interesting neologism is that it is impossible to be happy if you live in the past or the future; that you need to consciously and joyfully live every minute of life, and the best time is now.
Sculpture "Mother and Child"
Opposite the maternity hospital building in the center of a small park, a new sculpture “Mother and Child” . The ceremonial event, during which the white cloth was removed from the monument, took place on the afternoon of May 1, 2021.

The hospital management plans to plant flower beds, apple trees near the new landmark, and eventually improve the entire area near the maternity hospital.

Art object “Tree of Wishes”
The “Wish Tree” appeared near the Gold Museum (4 Kommuny Street). Initially, there was an idea that the wish tree would appear next to “Schaste” , but then a new place was found for the new monument.
To make the “Wish Tree,” blacksmith Igor Yudin used ancient iron, which previously “breathed” in other objects. The object is forged entirely by hand, artistic welding is used.
Symbolic figures are placed on the tree - mushrooms, snails, horseshoes, a spider and a dragon - he is the most important here and is called the guardian. Each item carries a certain symbolism. Visitors will be able to read information about this on the instruction sign. From it, for example, it will become known that the dragon is a symbol of power, wealth and abundance, snails can bring youth and health, and mushrooms personify the image of the family.
According to the legend of the creators, in order to make a wish, you need to focus on it and touch one of the elements of the tree, for example, rub a leaf. Another rule is not to say out loud what you want. The chances will increase if you make a small donation to the tree by throwing a coin into the piggy bank at its foot. The first “offerings” were handed over on the opening day to Berezovsky animal rights activists for a good cause. Blacksmith Igor Yudin warned against making bad wishes that could harm someone - such wishes will not come true.

Memorial sign on the site of the first Soviet mine and observation deck
A sign in the form of a hollow five-pointed star was installed in memory of the first Soviet-era mine near the bus station. For a long time there was a waste heap with a good observation deck near the mine, but it was recently torn down, and the territory itself will most likely be given over for development.

Memorial obelisk at the site of the discovery of the first gold

Lomonosov : “So, there should be no doubt about the wealth of all kinds of minerals in the Russian regions.” This monument was opened in 1973 in honor of the 225th anniversary of the find.
Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The stone church was built in 1868-74 on the site of a wooden one. During the Soviet regime, the temple was abandoned, although it was not formally closed. In 1992, the Assumption Church was returned to believers.
The dying architectural monument of the 19th century was restored by local entrepreneurs. Recently, a “spiritual center” building was erected next to it, more reminiscent of another church. Behind them is a large cemetery containing 19th-century headstones. The most interesting is the Eristov-Koksharov cemetery rotunda , which is an architectural monument of the 19th century.

Temple of the Holy Martyr John the Warrior
The Church of the Holy Martyr John the Warrior greets everyone who enters the city of Berezovsky . It is so organic in this place that in a short time it has become a spiritual symbol and calling card of a small Ural city.
Construction of the temple began on August 20, 2006. And the first service took place on August 12, 2009, on the day of remembrance of the holy martyr John the Warrior Vikenty of Yekaterinburg and Verkhoturye . Since 2011, the temple opened its doors to parishioners, and services began to be held regularly.
The temple, built in the Russian-Byzantine style, resembles an ancient Russian prince. The dome with the cross is his military helmet. Despite its small size, the temple does not seem small. The lightness and slenderness of the forms give it severity and solemnity. The chief architect of the temple project is Sergei Bartov .

Aigul Mosque
The official name of the mosque is “Aigul (Moon Flower)” . People call it “Altyn mosque” , i.e. translated from Tatar - “Golden Mosque” , due to the fact that the city of Berezovsky is the city of the first Russian gold, by analogy with the “Copper Mosque” of Verkhnyaya Pyshma .
The Berezovsky mosque was built in the traditional Tatar style. It is characterized by the location of the minaret above the entrance group and a two- or hipped roof instead of a dome. The main prayer hall has an octagonal shape.
In a separate building, the educational and administrative complex, there is a multifunctional hall, ablution rooms for men and women, and a boiler room. On the attic floor there are cozy classrooms, where on Sundays classes are held for adults and children to study Arabic script and the fundamentals of Islam. In a separate house - a summer kitchen - on holidays, aromatic pilaf is prepared in a huge cauldron for treating guests. In addition to classes and services, various competitions on Islamic themes or, for example, competitions of national Tatar dishes are held.

The first panel house
Few people know about this attraction. The fact is that the first large-panel residential building in the history of the USSR and Europe was built Berezovsky It appeared in December 1945. Builders from all over the country came to see this house. For comparison, the first large-panel house in Moscow appeared only three years later - in 1948.

Path of health
The pedestrian route Health Path in the city forest has become a kind of calling card of Berezovsky ; hundreds of residents walk along it every day, despite the weather. It is a small forest park at the intersection of Gagarin and Sportivnaya streets. There are various sculptures on the Trail: “Elk”, “Mowgli”, “Shere Khan”, “Wolves”. There is a children's playground.
Berezovsky Sands
A very interesting place is located on the northern outskirts of the city - between Berezovsky and the Pyshma River . Here, in the center of the Ural Mountains , you can see a piece of real desert. This place is usually called simply – Sands . The sand left over from gold mining comes here through pipes from the mines. In the center there are two lakes with clear bluish water. True, swimming in them is dangerous for health due to the high content of copper and other hazardous substances. From the dumps you can see the dredged Pyshma River.
The easiest way to enter the test site is from the northeast, where there is no fence and the road goes right to the sands. South of Peskov there is a deposit of crocoite , a rare bright red mineral (lead chromate), discovered in 1766 right here in the Urals . Later, the metal chromium was isolated from crocoite for the first time in history. Due to its value, the crocoite pit is protected from outsiders by a special booth. There is talk about creating a museum there, but for now all the crocoite is being taken to collections or sold off.
GPS coordinates: 56.933473 60.812475
Ushakovsky quarry
The grader road from which you left to the crocoite pit runs along the Sands and crosses the Pyshma River . Soon it bifurcates, and the left road through an unauthorized dump takes you to the Ushakovsky quarry . You can still find stones here: rauchtopaz, galena, fahlore, azurite, arsenates, limonite after pyrite and just pyrite.
The deposit was discovered at the beginning of the 19th century. At first the mines were struck, then they began to mine the rock by open-pit mining, which was cheaper, although more expensive compared to placer gold. The quarry was developed until the 80s of the 19th century.
About three hundred meters downstream of the river is the Golden Hill . They say (probably this is another local legend) that when the dredge passed along the river past it and extracted the gold washed from the hill into the river, they washed up three to four times more than in other areas.

Berezovsky on the map of Russia: geography, nature and climate
According to Berezovsky’s satellite map, the city is located 12 km northeast of Yekaterinburg. However, in some places the cities merge. For example, the Kirovsky district of Yekaterinburg borders on Berezovsky.
The territory of the municipality is dominated by a continental climate.
Less than half of the area is built up. The rest is forest. Pine, aspen, spruce, maple, linden, birch, and larch trees grow in the forests. Among the animals you can find moose, lynx, hares, martens, foxes, roe deer, and squirrels. Of wild birds - wood grouse and black grouse.
Among the reservoirs are numerous rivers. The deepest is Pyshma . They are home to beavers and numerous species of fish.
About general and additional education
In 2021, all graduates received a certificate of secondary general education. 30 students were awarded the medal “For special achievements in learning”, this is 8 people more than in 2019. Based on the results of the Unified State Examination, an increase in the average score in computer science, biology, and social studies was recorded. 100% of participants coped with geography and English. The share of municipal educational institutions that meet modern educational requirements was 94.14%. We plan to achieve 100% by 2023.
A special joy of 2021 was the equipment of the stadium in Losinoy - 9.5 million rubles were allocated, 4.7 million from the local budget. Funds for preparing schools for the new academic year amounted to 39 million rubles (repairs and purchase of equipment).
Almost 30 million rubles were allocated to finance the health campaign, which made it possible to cover 527 children with organized forms of recreation. This is 100% of the target. In 2021, 100% of medical offices of educational organizations were brought in accordance with the requirements of sanitary legislation. 84% of medical offices have a license for medical activities.
An increase in the birth rate and migration inflows lead to an increase in the child population. Over the past 10 years, the number of students in schools has doubled. As of September 1, 2020, 10,477 people were studying in educational institutions in the Berezovsky urban district. The share of students in the second shift was 34.3%, which is 15 percent higher than in 2021. In 10 schools of the Berezovsky urban district, the educational process is organized in two shifts (these are all 8 city schools and 2 schools in villages).

About culture
An important event of the reporting year was the acquisition, at the expense of the local budget, of premises for the Directorate of City Holidays in the building of the former Palace of Culture named after.
