Histoire
Founded in 1736, Chelyabinsk began as a fort to protect the eastern borders of the Russian Empire. Over the years, it evolved into an important industrial center, particularly during the Soviet era, when it became known for its heavy machinery and metallurgy.
The city gained international attention in 2013 when a meteor exploded in the atmosphere, causing damage and injuries. This event has since become a point of pride for locals, showcasing their resilience and ability to adapt to challenges.
