The city of Plast is located at the source of the Kochkarka River, a right tributary of the Kabanka River. It was founded as the Kochkarsky mine on a deposit of gold sands around 1860. The name of the city comes from the geological feature of the area - a sheet-like deposit of gold-bearing sands.

By 1845, several mines were already operating here: Averyanovsky, Voskresensky, Novotroitsky, Uspensky and others. Some of the mines were developed by foreigners from England, the “Anonymous Society of Kochkar Mines” from France). Mining villages grew over time and gradually merged into one settlement. In 1931, the village of Plast was formed, which received city status in 1940. Previously, Plast was part of the Kochkarsky district, then it became the center of the Plastovsky district of the Chelyabinsk region.

Gold mining here is still carried out today by the Yuzhuralzoloto enterprise. Gold mining forms the basis of the city's economy. By the way, the subsoil in the vicinity of Plast is rich not only in gold, but also in gems. It’s not for nothing that this area is called “Russian Brazil”.

Interesting fact: in 1989, a mineral called kochkarite was found for the first time in the world at the Kochkar gold deposit in the city of Plast.

The population of Plast, according to the 2010 census, is 17.5 thousand people.

History of "Russian Brazil"

“Russian Brazil” is located mainly along the Kamenka and Sanarka rivers. These places have interested people since ancient times. Russian settlers who came here in the 18th century came across ancient burial grounds - “Chudskie mines”. Since the 1760s, copper, silver, and lead were mined at the first mines - Sanarsky and Krestovozdvizhensky. In 1770, P.S. visited the Sanarsky mine. Pallas, who left his first description. From his works it follows that “ancient ovens” already stood here before.

In 1844, workers while breaking limestone to burn it into lime accidentally stumbled upon gold. The merchant Bakakin from the city of Troitsk applied for the extraction of the precious metal, and the Kamenno-Pavlovsky mine arose. Soon other mines appeared, they began to be called Kochkarsky and Andree-Yulevsky. There was a lot of gold here. In 1845, 2 kg 463 g of gold were mined, and in 1850 - already 264.5 kg. Since the beginning of mining in the 19th century, the placers of “Russian Brazil” have given people about 15 tons of gold.

Experts believe that gold was mined here in past millennia. For example, items made from Kochkar gold were found in Sarmatian burial mounds near the village of Kichigino. Perhaps this is where the famous Scythian gold originates.

And near the village of Stary Kumlyak, Plastovsky district, they found an unusual bronze figurine of a shaman, about 20 cm in size, apparently smelted from local metal. It is interesting because of the inconsistency in the arrangement of parts of the human body, as if they were specially moved to different places. The limbs are twisted, the head is upside down. Cosmonaut Georgy Grechko decided that the ancient metallurgists depicted an alien... The figurine dates back to the 5th-3rd centuries BC.

In the 19th century, when mining gold, gems were also found here, but industrialists did not pay much attention to them, concentrating on the “yellow metal.” In 1854, information about the finds of gems in local mines reached the capital. At that time, the mineralogy of these places was best studied by Academician N.I. Koksharov, who wrote “Materials on the mineralogy of Russia.” He described the finds of the first pink topaz and euclase. In 1858, Koksharov received from an Ekaterinburg merchant a whole box of minerals from the gold-bearing placers of the merchant Bakakin.

After such lines from Academician Koksharov, the glory of “Russian Brazil” was assigned to these places.

Several decades later, as Koksharov predicted, diamonds were actually found here. In 1892, the first diamond crystal was produced by gold miner A.P. Pribylev purchased it from a prospector who found a precious stone at the Viktorovsky mine. In 1893, academician P.V. Eremeev presented this diamond to Emperor Alexander III. Later, several more crystals were found, but there were very few diamonds in these places, unlike other valuable minerals

In Soviet times, one of the main researchers of “Russian Brazil” was Professor A.P. Smolin. In this territory, new previously unknown minerals kochkarite and sanarskite were discovered, which received local names, as well as a number of others.

Story

Founded on the site of several mining villages, where gold was mined since the mid-19th century. In 1845, several mines operated here: Averyanovsky, Voskresensky, Novotroitsky, Uspensky and others. Some of the mines were developed by foreigners from England, the “Anonymous Society of Kochkar Mines” from France).

In the “Guide to the Urals” V.A. Vesnovsky, the entire area north of the current city of Plast was named the Kochkar gold-bearing system and “Russian California”[2]. The area was also called “Russian Brazil”[3].

Over the years, the villages merged into a single settlement, which in 1919-1931 was called the Yekaterinburg Village Council, and in 1931 was renamed the village of Plast (the name was given according to the geological feature of the area - a sheet-like deposit of gold-bearing sands).

Reason four: Brazilian gems

Article on the topic

Samarskite for Curie. Who are the new minerals named after?

In addition to gold, the Plastov land also stores many riches, including rare euclase stones and pink topazes. The latter allowed Academician N. Koksharov to call these places “Russian Brazil”, because previously such jewelry was found only in the mines of an overseas country.

Now the rich subsoil attracts many mineral lovers to the Plastovsky district. People usually come in small groups with an experienced guide to add to their private or scientific collections. In the future, they plan to make “geological tourism” widespread - isn’t it exciting to find something valuable in a pile of ordinary stones?

"Russian Brazil" today

Now almost all gold deposits here have been mined. Only in a few areas of “Russian Brazil” does mining of the precious metal continue. Gradually, “Russian Brazil” turned out to be undeservedly forgotten; it faded against the background of the riches of the Ilmen Mountains. But more than 200 different minerals are found here.

Geologist S.V. is involved in popularizing these places. Kolisnichenko. Minerals of “Russian Brazil” can be seen in the geological collections of many museums in the country. Nowadays, “Russian Brazil” attracts mineral lovers and collectors. True, not everyone is lucky here. Finding a gem is not so easy. Well, it’s worth remembering that any (including amateur) mining of gems without a license is prohibited under Russian law and is punishable by huge fines and even prison terms...

Population

As of January 1, 2021, in terms of population, the city was in 724th place out of 1116[22]cities of the Russian Federation[23].

Sights of Plast

Plast is quite an interesting and pleasant city. When traveling around the Southern Urals, it’s definitely worth setting aside some time and stopping by here.

In the park on Krasnoarmeyskaya street opposite the cinema named after A.S. Pushkin there is a monument to the prospector, who, according to the creators, immortalized the history of the creation and name of the city. It is dedicated to the discoverers of the Kochkar gold deposit, the first prospectors and geologists. The monument was opened in 2014. Its authors are sculptors A.V. Ryabov and K.A. Gelev. Alexander Ryabov created the image of the prospector from old photographs. I made the monument.

I note that the monument turned out to be very expressive. It depicts an older man in working clothes of the time, who sits on the ground and hopefully washes sand in a tray in search of gold. The height of the cast iron monument reaches 3 meters.

Krasnoarmeyskaya Street smoothly turns into Oktyabrskaya - the main street of the city.

On the main square there is the city administration, the Oktyabr Palace of Culture, and a children's art school. There is also a memorial dedicated to Plastov residents who died during the Great Patriotic War.

Nearby is the picturesque entrance gate to the city park. They contain Soviet symbols.

In the park there are monuments to Peter and Fevronia, a Komsomol stele, a Border Pillar, a memorial sign of the Airborne Forces, and a monument to a teacher.

On the other side of the park is the most interesting architectural landmark of the city - the wooden building of the dacha of gold miner A.P. Balasa, built in 1911 in Art Nouveau style. It combines elements of Gothic and Russian merchant style. The Balas mansion has the status of an architectural and historical monument of regional significance.

Currently, the building houses the Plastovsky Museum of History and Local Lore (Oktyabrskaya St., 56, tel. (35160) 2-12-92). The museum is very interesting. It has 17 exhibition halls: mineralogy, the history of gold mining, archeology, a hall of industrial enterprises, 2 military halls, 2 exhibition halls, a demonstration gallery, etc. The office of gold miner A.P. was also recreated. Balasa, furniture and belongings of his family have been preserved here. The museum's holdings include more than 18 thousand items.

In the park in front of the museum there is a monument to the dead miners. It was opened in 2011. The names of the deceased miners (since 1878) are engraved on the granite pedestal. There are 275 names in total. The mines that operated here are also listed.

The St. Nicholas Church in Plast (Chekhova St., 9) is unusual in that it was built in Soviet times - in 1947-48. Rare case! Before the revolution, three churches operated on the territory of modern Plast. In the 1930s, they were all closed: one building was demolished, another was given over to a gold shop and a tea shop (the building later burned down), and school No. 1 was opened in the third.

There is also a mosque in the city (Lenina St., 13), the only one in the Plastovsky district. It was built by Muslims at the expense of gold miner Yegor Mitrofanovich Simonov at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

In the surrounding area it is worth seeing the village of Kochkar, Demarinsky waterfall, Peipus mine, Andreevsky stone quarry, Leninsky hill.

I suggest watching a video we filmed during a trip around the Chelyabinsk region, during which we also visited the city of Plast.

Reason two: a house with a frozen clock

The Plastovsky Museum of Local Lore is located in one of the oldest buildings in the city - the 106-year-old Balas House. The mansion, which belonged to a French mining engineer, is decorated with spiers and a clock that always shows the same time - the dial is not real, but decorative. Inside, guests will be shown everything that the region is famous for - minerals and gold bars that you can touch, dishes made of white kaolin clay, figures of animals living in the local forests. A separate room is dedicated to miners: visitors can view models of mechanisms surrounded by things that belonged to the workers.

In a separate small room on the second floor, reached by a steep staircase, the office of the owner of the house, Antoine Balas, has been restored. Very little is known about Anton Petrovich himself, as he was called in Russian, and since 1917, traces of his family have been completely lost. The Frenchman is reminiscent of an impressive table, a photograph and a piano on which his wife Margarita played.

During Soviet times, the mansion housed a police station, and it was this fact, according to museum workers, that made it possible to preserve the building almost in its original form. Now employees are making plans for the development of exhibitions and are waiting for guests - they have something to show.

Plast: Why is it called “Russian Brazil” and who are the ore miners?

The excavator bucket immediately grabs 10 tons of gold-bearing rock and sends it to the back of a huge Belaz. Excavator operator Viktor Pimonenko

jokes: over the years of work he has mined hundreds of tons of pure gold - more than his colleagues in Alaska:

“I have so many years of experience, roughly speaking, since I was 23 years old. Now I’m 60. And everything is behind the levers. ”

True, you cannot see gold in the rock. Every day Victor loads up to a hundred Belaz trucks with ore. The cars take her to the factory. There, after crushing, sifting and chemical treatment, it is sent to the holy of holies of the plant - the smelting shop. It is a rare stroke of luck for an outsider to get here. There are no excursions to the smelting shop, and no journalists are invited. Even employees of neighboring workshops are strictly prohibited from entering here.

A ten-kilogram bar costs the same as an apartment in Moscow or a fleet of not the cheapest cars. But its value will increase even more when the ingot is melted down several times, and the so-called “four nines” are obtained.

The ore miners—that’s what the gold miners here call themselves—tell us that to get five kilograms of gold, you need to process at least a thousand carloads of rock. Now this process takes less than a day - tens of times faster than in the mid-nineteenth century, when gold mining first began in these places. Back then, the miners at the face worked knee-deep in water, mud and virtually no air. Now underground there is light, ventilation, and an emergency supply of oxygen in case of an accident. And they go down to the face not in a basket on ropes, but in a high-speed elevator. A couple of seconds - and you are at a depth of seven hundred meters.

In the nineties of the last century, for the first time in many years, gold mining in Plast stopped - the soil rich in gold was worked out. But they didn’t know how to extract precious metal from poor rock back then. With the advent of new technologies, the enterprise was reopened. The current head of the company is a former miner. He no longer mines ore himself, but still every day, out of habit, he goes down to the mine face - invariably in yellow rubber boots, which he has been wearing to go to the mine for sixteen years.

“I have to stay qualified. Then there are ideas that still need to be implemented. That’s why I do what I love.”

– says the president of the gold mining company Konstantin Strukov

.

The layer is called Russian Brazil - more than three hundred types of minerals lie in the local soil - agates, topazes, crystal and even the rare mineral euclase, very similar to emerald. Such rich deposits of semi-precious stones are found only here and in South America. Residents of Plast often find fused crystals of gems - druzy - in the ground. They use these stones to decorate their houses and outbuildings and lay out paths in their garden plots.

Geologist Fedor Zhizhilev

has been collecting minerals for 20 years. And recently I started building a “gem fence” around the house - inspired by the example of a neighbor. That fence is two meters high. Hundreds of large gems are concreted in it.

“I can’t say about the whole world, but I think that in Russia there is no such fence with minerals. That is, there are stone fences, of course, but there is no such saturation with minerals in the Russian Federation.”

– says geologist Fedor Zhizhilev

.

Most Plastovites live in Khrushchev and Stalin buildings. But the city has preserved several streets with houses made of bog oak. These were built here a hundred years ago - with weather vanes and carved platbands. The most noticeable is the building of the city local history museum with Gothic towers and several attics. It was built at the beginning of the twentieth century by the visiting French gold miner Antoine Peters Balas

“This man left in the history of our city a gold mining factory, which was named after him “Antonovskaya”. She continues to work today.”

Ravil Khayryatdinov, researcher at the local history museum

.

The museum exhibits a rich collection of minerals. Geologists from all over the world come to see them. But what is most impressive is this bronze figurine - a man with unnaturally curved arms. We found this figurine near the city. It is believed that it was made in the fifth century BC. But on the bronze man’s head is a helmet that looks like a space helmet.

Most of the residents of Plast are associated with a gold mining enterprise. There is almost no other work here - except in a store, school or hospital. On the city’s pedestrian alley, a favorite recreation spot, grateful citizens installed more than a dozen sculptures in honor of all the main city professions. There is a monument to both the teacher and the miner. And even to the first Plastovsky prospector - in honor of all the gold miners, thanks to whom the city appeared.

Sanarka and Stepnoye were described by P.-S. Pallas, who visited these places in 1771), but they operated only until the Peasant War under the leadership of E.I. Pugacheva (1773-75). The rebels captured the fortress. Stepnaya (now the village of Stepnoe, located southwest of Plast). But Pugachev did not stop here, but quickly moved along the river bank. Go to Troitsk.

An excerpt characterizing Plast (city)

The Emperor glanced quickly at Kutuzov from head to toe, frowned for a moment, but immediately, overcoming himself, walked up and, spreading his arms, hugged the old general. Again, according to the old, familiar impression and in relation to his sincere thoughts, this hug, as usual, had an effect on Kutuzov: he sobbed. The Emperor greeted the officers and the Semenovsky guard and, shaking the old man’s hand again, went with him to the castle. Left alone with the field marshal, the sovereign expressed his displeasure to him for the slowness of the pursuit, for the mistakes in Krasnoye and on the Berezina, and conveyed his thoughts about the future campaign abroad. Kutuzov made no objections or comments. The same submissive and meaningless expression with which, seven years ago, he listened to the orders of the sovereign on the Field of Austerlitz, was now established on his face. When Kutuzov left the office and walked down the hall with his heavy, diving gait, head down, someone’s voice stopped him. “Your Grace,” someone said. Kutuzov raised his head and looked for a long time into the eyes of Count Tolstoy, who stood in front of him with some small thing on a silver platter. Kutuzov did not seem to understand what they wanted from him. Suddenly he seemed to remember: a barely noticeable smile flashed on his plump face, and he, bending low, respectfully, took the object lying on the platter. This was George 1st degree. The next day the field marshal had dinner and a ball, which the sovereign honored with his presence. Kutuzov was awarded George 1st degree; the sovereign showed him the highest honors; but the sovereign’s displeasure against the field marshal was known to everyone. Decency was observed, and the sovereign showed the first example of this; but everyone knew that the old man was guilty and no good. When at the ball Kutuzov, according to Catherine’s old habit, upon the Emperor’s entrance into the ballroom, ordered the taken banners to be laid down at his feet, the Emperor frowned unpleasantly and uttered words in which some heard: “old comedian.” The sovereign's displeasure against Kutuzov intensified in Vilna, especially because Kutuzov obviously did not want or could not understand the significance of the upcoming campaign. When the next morning the sovereign said to the officers gathered at his place: “You saved more than just Russia; you saved Europe,” everyone already understood that the war was not over. Only Kutuzov did not want to understand this and openly expressed his opinion that a new war could not improve the situation and increase the glory of Russia, but could only worsen its position and reduce the highest degree of glory on which, in his opinion, Russia now stood. He tried to prove to the sovereign the impossibility of recruiting new troops; spoke about the difficult situation of the population, about the possibility of failures, etc. In such a mood, the field marshal, naturally, seemed to be only a hindrance and a brake on the upcoming war. To avoid clashes with the old man, a way out was found by itself, which consisted in, as at Austerlitz and as at the beginning of the campaign under Barclay, to remove from under the commander-in-chief, without disturbing him, without announcing to him that the ground of power on which he stood , and transfer it to the sovereign himself. For this purpose, the headquarters was gradually reorganized, and all the significant strength of Kutuzov’s headquarters was destroyed and transferred to the sovereign. Tol, Konovnitsyn, Ermolov - received other appointments. Everyone said loudly that the field marshal had become very weak and was upset about his health.

Gems of “Russian Brazil”

Although industrialists here were mainly interested only in gold, the area turned out to be rich in various precious and semi-precious stones. Aquamarines, pink and golden topaz, rubies, tourmalines, spinel, euclase and many others were found here. A.E. Fersman mentioned random finds of bucket-sized nests of aquamarine crystals. N.P. Barbot de Marny in 1855 also wrote about the discovery of an emerald on the left bank of the Kamenka River, although of poor quality.

The most famous are pink topazes. The first crystals were found at the Proroko-Ilyinsky mine in 1853 during gold panning. Mining engineer P.E. Akhmatov handed them over to the above-mentioned academician N.I. Koksharov, who noticed the similarity with the Brazilian ones and even thought then whether he was being played:

According to A.E. Fersman, 10-15 thousand crystals of colored topaz have been mined at the Kamenno-Pavlovsky and Vasilyevsky mines since 1853. And in total, about 100 kg of gold was extracted during gold mining.

Pink topazes were mined at the Zhukovskaya mine near the bed of the Kamenka River. This is a relatively small excavation (20x50 m) up to 3 m deep. Here you can find pink topaz crystals up to 5 cm long and 1-7 mm thick. Along with topaz, crystals of rock crystal, kyanite, as well as kupfferite and euclase are sometimes found in the mine. The Zhukovskaya mine is a geological and geomorphological natural monument of the Chelyabinsk region.

In 1938, the Svetlinsky deposit of piezo-optical quartz was discovered, which contributed to the victory in the Great Patriotic War. Piezoquartz was supplied to the defense industry. Since 1943, it has been one of the most important such deposits in the country.

In 1967, a unique and record-breaking find for the Urals was made here. Two giant rock crystals weighing more than 6 tons were discovered in a quartz vein.

In the Svetlinsky pegmatite quarry near the village of Svetly, aquamarines, roasterites, green tourmalines, and morions were found. Many other deposits are also known. Their descriptions can be found in the book by S.V. Kolisnichenko and V.A. Popov “Russian Brazil” in the Southern Urals.”
