Kopeysk: a city built on coal

Kopeysk is a city in Chelyabinsk Oblast that owes its existence to coal deposits. The name comes from the phrase "coal mines", not from the familiar "kopeck" as many mistakenly believe. The settlement of Tugaykul, on the site of which modern Kopeysk grew, is first mentioned in connection with the development of the Chelyabinsk coal basin.

Interestingly, a tram once ran between Kopeysk and Chelyabinsk — from 1949 to 1976. Until 1961, the line consisted of two isolated sections separated by a railway, and passengers had to transfer. Later the tracks were connected, and the tram became a full-fledged transport artery between the two cities.

In the pre-war and war years, the Kopeysk nursing school graduated 583 people who then worked in evacuation hospitals. This is a modest but important contribution of the city to the common cause.

Goltza Street: a revolutionary in the name

The street at the intersection of which this online camera is installed is named after a person forever inscribed in the history of Kopeysk. Leopold Fridrikhovich Goltza was a revolutionary and organizer of the labor movement in the Chelyabinsk mines.

In 1905, Goltza settled in the village of Tugaykul (now Kopeysk) under a false name, worked as a foreman in the mines, and became the initiator of the miners' struggle for their rights. He organized strikes in 1912 and 1914, as well as May Day rallies in 1915–1916. After the revolution, he returned to the mines: he headed the "Komsomolets" mine, led a geological exploration party, and was nominated for the title of Hero of Labor.

Originally, Goltza Street existed from 1935 to 1957, then was renamed. The modern name was restored by a decision of the Kopeysk Executive Committee dated June 27, 1972. Today, a street, a square, and a bust are named in honor of Goltza.

Pobedy Avenue: the city's main artery

Pobedy Avenue is one of the central thoroughfares of Kopeysk, and it is on this avenue that the webcam is located. The avenue is home to several notable landmarks worth knowing for anyone interested in the city.

At the entrance to Kopeysk along Pobedy Avenue, there is a scaled-down replica of the Eiffel Tower owned by a Renault dealership. This is an unexpected architectural accent for an Ural industrial city that has become a kind of calling card.

Nearby is a square with a monument to the miners, pit workers, and mine rescuers of Kopeysk. The monument is made in the form of a stele about 5 meters high surrounded by four columns of white marble. This is a tribute to the people who mined coal in the Kopeysk mines.

The avenue is also home to the FSK "Gorka" — a family and children's recreation area operating year-round. And in the square near School No. 6 there is a monument to I.I. Redikortsev, opened in 1957 for the 50th anniversary of the Chelyabinsk coal basin.

How to get to the camera location

The intersection of Pobedy Avenue and Goltza Street is a transport-accessible point in Kopeysk. There is a "Pobedy Avenue" bus stop served by buses No. 4, 8, 26, 41, 123 and minibuses No. 1, 4B, 123, 125, 128, 139, 172, 176, 478.

At the beginning of Goltza Street, near the intersection, there was a popular "Cheburechnaya" in Soviet times — an inexpensive cafe frequented by locals. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a video rental salon operated here in the evenings. Today, the intersection features modern urban infrastructure with a gas station, parking, and billboards.
