Abstract:
The article presents a review of memoirs and documentary materials collected by inhabitants of Uralmash and about the Uralmash itself. Most attention is paid to the Second World War and post-war years, although there are a number of interesting documents dating back to the beginning of construction of the factory (1928) and the first five-year period. This book also includes a section written by the honoured teacher of Russia, G.P. Staduhina, about more than a century of School №160 history in the village of Pishma (now located in Ordzhonikidzevsky District of Yekaterinburg). This collection of materials is interesting and worth reading due to the oral history of the Uralmash and the Great Patriotic War in the Urals, and because it gives a ―snap shot‖ of the development of Russian provincial journalism in the early 21st century.
