Economy

The economic profile of Uzhur is determined by its position in a large agricultural region and on the railway. Uzhur has a vast territory with highly developed grain production, meat and dairy cattle breeding and sheep breeding. Thanks to this, the city became a major center for processing agricultural raw materials. There are about 50 industrial enterprises of all forms of ownership in Uzhur. The monopoly role belongs to the food industry (up to 90% of the cost of production): a dairy plant, a bakery, and a fish factory that processes imported and local fish (peled, bream, whitefish, and omul are bred in the freshwater lakes of the adjacent territory). There are construction industry enterprises.

Resort Uchum[ | ]

Main article: Uchum (resort)

The famous Siberian resort “Lake Uchum” operates 40 km southwest of Uzhur[28]. Located directly on the shore of Lake Uchum, in a mountain valley, among the picturesque eastern forts of the Kuznetsk Alatau. Due to its remoteness from large industrial centers and the healing properties of the lake, it is popular. The sanatorium consists of four buildings and a medical building. There is also a canteen and a restaurant on the territory of the sanatorium. The Uchum resort provides treatment for diseases of the nervous system, digestive organs, gynecological and urological diseases, skin and metabolic diseases. The rooms have multifunctional beds and ramps for the disabled. Experienced specialists provide physical therapy, various massages, hydrotherapy (which includes Charcot's shower, ascending and circular shower), and inhalations. Special dietary nutrition and healing properties of mineral water allow you to treat peptic ulcers and gastritis at different stages. Treatment with nitrous oxide and therapeutic mud, hirudotherapy, and herbal barrels are available to vacationers. In addition to all the entertainment, there is a camp where you can undergo treatment for a period of 1 year with the subsequent issuance of a military ID

Interesting Facts

Until 1969 (possibly before 1983) there was a children's railway in Uzhur[17].

  • opened: August 1951
  • closed: no earlier than 1969
  • length: 0.6 km
  • 2 stations: “Salyut” and “Pobeda”
  • rolling stock: electric locomotive ED-1 and 2 wooden passenger cars
  • length: 0.6 km

Throughout history, there were only three electrified children's railways in the USSR: the Children's Railway in Gorky Park in Moscow, the Children's Railway in Uzhur and the Children's Railway in Donetsk. None of them have survived.

The action of the film “The End of the Emperor of the Taiga” begins in Uzhur, when the hero of the film, A.P. Gaidar, utters the phrase: ““I arrived in Uzhur - neither “hello”, nor “bonjour”.

Excerpt characterizing Uzhur

“I’m not going anywhere,” Natasha answered when this proposal was made to her, “just please leave me,” she said and ran out of the room, barely holding back tears not so much of grief as of frustration and anger. After she felt abandoned by Princess Marya and alone in her grief, Natasha most of the time, alone in her room, sat with her feet in the corner of the sofa, and, tearing or kneading something with her thin, tense fingers, looked with a persistent, motionless gaze to what the eyes rested on. This solitude exhausted and tormented her; but it was necessary for her. As soon as someone came in to see her, she quickly stood up, changed her position and expression, and took up a book or sewing, obviously impatiently awaiting the departure of the one who had disturbed her. It seemed to her that she would now understand, would penetrate, what her soulful gaze was directed at with a terrible question beyond her power. At the end of December, in a black woolen dress, with a braid carelessly tied in a bun, thin and pale, Natasha sat with her legs in the corner of the sofa, tensely crumpling and unraveling the ends of her belt, and looked at the corner of the door. She looked where he had gone, to the other side of life. And that side of life, which she had never thought about before, which had previously seemed so distant and incredible to her, was now closer and dearer to her, more understandable than this side of life, in which everything was either emptiness and destruction, or suffering and insult. She looked to where she knew he was; but she could not see him otherwise than as he was here. She saw him again the same as he was in Mytishchi, at Trinity, in Yaroslavl. She saw his face, heard his voice and repeated his words and her words spoken to him, and sometimes she came up with new words for herself and for him that could then be said. Here he lies on an armchair in his velvet fur coat, resting his head on his thin, pale hand. His chest is terribly low and his shoulders are raised. The lips are firmly compressed, the eyes shine, and a wrinkle jumps up and disappears on the pale forehead. One of his legs is trembling almost noticeably quickly. Natasha knows that he is struggling with excruciating pain. “What is this pain? Why pain? How does he feel? How it hurts!” - Natasha thinks. He noticed her attention, raised his eyes and, without smiling, began to speak. “One terrible thing,” he said, “is to bind yourself forever to a suffering person. This is eternal torment." And he looked at her with a searching look—Natasha now saw this look. Natasha, as always, answered then before she had time to think about what she was answering; she said: “This cannot go on like this, this will not happen, you will be healthy - completely.” She now saw him first and now experienced everything that she had felt then. She remembered his long, sad, stern look at these words and understood the meaning of the reproach and despair of this long look. “I agreed,” Natasha was now telling herself, “that it would be terrible if he remained always suffering. I said it that way only because it would have been terrible for him, but he understood it differently. He thought it would be terrible for me. He still wanted to live then - he was afraid of death. And I told him so rudely and stupidly. I didn't think that. I thought something completely different. If I had said what I thought, I would have said: even if he were dying, dying all the time before my eyes, I would be happy compared to what I am now. Now... Nothing, no one. Did he know this? No. Didn't know and never will. And now it will never, never be possible to correct this.” And again he spoke to her the same words, but now in her imagination Natasha answered him differently. She stopped him and said: “Terrible for you, but not for me. You know that I have nothing in life without you, and suffering with you is the best happiness for me.” And he took her hand and squeezed it as he had squeezed it on that terrible evening, four days before his death. And in her imagination she told him other tender, loving speeches that she could have said then, which she said now. “I love you... you... I love you, I love you...” she said, convulsively squeezing her hands, gritting her teeth with fierce effort. And sweet grief overwhelmed her, and tears were already welling up in her eyes, but suddenly she asked herself: to whom is she telling this? Where is he and who is he now? And again everything was clouded with dry, hard bewilderment, and again, tensely knitting her eyebrows, she peered at where he was. And so, it seemed to her that she was penetrating the secret... But at that moment, just as something incomprehensible was opening up to her, the loud knock of the door lock handle painfully struck her ears. Quickly and carelessly, with a frightened, uninterested expression on her face, the maid Dunyasha entered the room. “Come to daddy, quickly,” said Dunyasha with a special and animated expression. “It’s a misfortune, about Pyotr Ilyich... a letter,” she said, sobbing. In addition to the general feeling of alienation from all people, Natasha at this time experienced a special feeling of alienation from her family. All her own: father, mother, Sonya, were so close to her, familiar, so everyday that all their words and feelings seemed to her an insult to the world in which she had lived lately, and she was not only indifferent, but looked at them with hostility . She heard Dunyasha’s words about Pyotr Ilyich, about misfortune, but did not understand them.
