Story

The Abakan Plant arose in 1856 in connection with the development of the Abakan iron ore deposit.

In 1867, the Ural merchant Kolchugin founded an iron foundry and ironworks here, which operated until 1926. In the early 1920s, the village of Abakansko-Zavodskoye was part of the Tashtypsky district of the Khakass district. From 1926 to 1957 the field was not exploited.

Since 1957, ore mining has been resumed. Abaza was given the status of an urban-type settlement, which in 1966 was transformed into a city, and in 2003 it became a city of republican subordination.

Attractions

The main attractions of the city of Abaza (Khakassia) include the famous forest, which is a botanical monument protected by the state. Here you can find rare plant species that are not found in other parts of the planet.

This is due to the actual location of monuments of Tatar culture over 2500 years old. The burial area is about 2 hectares.

Economy

Iron ore is mined at a mine 5 km from the city (Abaza mine). There is a processing plant. Iron ore is sent to Novokuznetsk metallurgical enterprises. There are also a meat processing plant, timber industry and other enterprises.

Since 1995, the Abakan Mining Administration has been a division of PJSC West Siberian Metallurgical Plant.

By Order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 29, 2014 No. 1398-r (as amended on May 13, 2016) “On approval of the list of single-industry towns,” it was included in the list of single-industry cities in the Russian Federation with the most difficult socio-economic situation.

The authorities plan to stop ore mining and close the Abaza mine. The population expresses dissatisfaction with this: “if they flood the mine, they will flood Abaza.”

Excerpt characterizing Abaza (city)

“Masha,” she said, timidly pulling her hand towards her. - Masha, don’t think that I’m bad. No? Masha, my dear. I love you so much. We will be completely, completely friends. And Natasha, hugging and kissing the hands and face of Princess Marya. Princess Marya was ashamed and rejoiced at this expression of Natasha’s feelings. From that day on, that passionate and tender friendship that only happens between women was established between Princess Marya and Natasha. They kissed constantly, spoke tender words to each other and spent most of their time together. If one went out, then the other was restless and hurried to join her. The two of them felt greater agreement among themselves than apart, each with itself. A feeling stronger than friendship was established between them: it was an exceptional feeling of the possibility of life only in the presence of each other. Sometimes they were silent for hours; sometimes, already lying in bed, they began to talk and talked until the morning. They talked mostly about the distant past. Princess Marya talked about her childhood, about her mother, about her father, about her dreams; and Natasha, who had previously turned away with calm incomprehension from this life, devotion, humility, from the poetry of Christian self-sacrifice, now, feeling herself bound by love with Princess Marya, fell in love with Princess Marya’s past and understood a side of life that was previously incomprehensible to her. She did not think of applying humility and self-sacrifice to her life, because she was accustomed to looking for other joys, but she understood and fell in love with this previously incomprehensible virtue in another. For Princess Marya, listening to stories about Natasha’s childhood and early youth, a previously incomprehensible side of life, faith in life, in the pleasures of life, also opened up. They still never spoke about him in the same way, so as not to violate with words, as it seemed to them, the height of feeling that was in them, and this silence about him made them forget him little by little, not believing it. Natasha lost weight, turned pale and became so physically weak that everyone constantly talked about her health, and she was pleased with it. But sometimes she was suddenly overcome not only by the fear of death, but by the fear of illness, weakness, loss of beauty, and involuntarily she sometimes carefully examined her bare arm, surprised at its thinness, or looked in the mirror in the morning at her elongated, pitiful, as it seemed to her , face. It seemed to her that this was how it should be, and at the same time she became scared and sad. Once she quickly went upstairs and was out of breath. Immediately, involuntarily, she came up with something to do downstairs and from there she ran upstairs again, testing her strength and observing herself. Another time she called Dunyasha, and her voice trembled. She called her again, despite the fact that she heard her steps, called her in the chest voice with which she sang, and listened to him. She didn’t know this, she wouldn’t have believed it, but under the seemingly impenetrable layer of silt that covered her soul, thin, tender young needles of grass were already breaking through, which were supposed to take root and so cover with their life shoots the grief that had crushed her that it would soon not be visible and not noticeable. The wound was healing from the inside. At the end of January, Princess Marya left for Moscow, and the Count insisted that Natasha go with her in order to consult with doctors. After the clash at Vyazma, where Kutuzov could not restrain his troops from the desire to overturn, cut off, etc., the further movement of the fleeing French and the fleeing Russians behind them, to Krasnoye, took place without battles. The flight was so fast that the Russian army running after the French could not keep up with them, that the horses in the cavalry and artillery became weak and that information about the movement of the French was always incorrect. The people of the Russian army were so exhausted by this continuous movement of forty miles a day that they could not move faster. To understand the degree of exhaustion of the Russian army, you only need to clearly understand the significance of the fact that, having lost no more than five thousand people wounded and killed during the entire movement from Tarutino, without losing hundreds of people as prisoners, the Russian army, which left Tarutino numbering one hundred thousand, came to Red in the number of fifty thousand. The rapid movement of the Russians after the French had just as destructive an effect on the Russian army as the flight of the French. The only difference was that the Russian army moved arbitrarily, without the threat of death that hung over the French army, and that the backward sick of the French remained in the hands of the enemy, the backward Russians remained at home. The main reason for the decrease in Napoleon's army was the speed of movement, and the undoubted proof of this is the corresponding decrease in Russian troops.
