Field note
Post-War Prosperity
After the war, Yurga grew together with the factory.
City status: 1949 — city of district subordination, 1953 — regional.
The machine-building plant became a city-forming giant. In parallel, the trust “Yurgapromstroy” built: schools, cultural centers, cinema, medical facilities, sports complexes, residential quarters.
In the 1960s, large-panel construction boom begins, the city becomes modern. And in the 1960s, a second giant rises — the abrasive factory.
Series finale — about the crisis of the 90s and today’s character of the city.
