Miass (Russian : Миа́сс, IPA: [mʲɪˈas] ) is a city in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, located 96 kilometers (60 mi) west of Chelyabinsk, on the eastern slope of the Southern Ural Mountains, on the bank of the river Miass. Population: 147,995 (2021 Census);^[5]151,751 (2010 Census);^[1]158,420 (2002 Census);^[6]167,839 (1989 Soviet census).^[7]

Name

The name Miass is taken from the Bashkirs (Bashkir : Мейәс), the indigenous inhabitants of these places, with the root of the word meaning "water" or "friend".

History

It was founded in 1773 as a copper mining factory.^{[ citation needed ]} During the 19th century, the development was driven by the discovery of the richest gold deposits in the Urals. Average annual extraction of gold from the Miass region was about 640 kilograms (1,410 lb). In the mid-19th century, the volume of gold mining went down, and the development of Miass also slowed. Town status was granted to Miass in 1923.^{[ citation needed ]} In 1941, an automobile factory (which still operates as UralAZ) was built.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with twenty-eight rural localities, incorporated as the City of Miass—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.^[2] As a municipal division, the City of Miass is incorporated as Miassky Urban Okrug.^[2]

Economy and education

Currently Miass is a major machinery center. The truck manufacturer UralAZ is one of its most important factories.

UralAZ

UralAZ produces multi-axle, full-drive trucks of high cross-country passability and exports 8% of the trucks. "UralAZ" was included in the rating of 200 biggest Russian companies in 2000 in volume of sales, and employs 105,000 people. It was established in 1942, when the ZiS factory was evacuated from Moscow during World War II.

The State Rocket Center

The Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau creates submarine-launched ballistic missiles. In 1955, it was moved from Zlatoust, where it was established in 1947, to Miass.

Miass has a rich mineralogical museum, as it is close to the Ilmensky Mineral conservation area.
