Kopeysk (Russian: Копе́йск) is a city in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, located southeast of Chelyabinsk. Population: 137,601 (2010 Census);[3] 73,342 (2002 Census);[7] 79,048 (1989 Soviet census).[8] The population growth between 2002 and 2010 was caused by the annexation of surrounding settlements.

History

Prior to 1928, this city was called Ugolnye Kopi, meaning coal mines (hence the pick on the city's coat of arms). The element "Ugolnye" was removed and the suffix "-sk" was added to indicate the locative.[9]

Economy

Fountain in the square of Labor Glory

Until the 1990s the main economic sectors were Coal (with mines such as "Capital", "Komsomolskaya", "Red Gornyachka", and "Central") and mechanical engineering – Kopeysk Machine Building Plant (Kirov) was the largest producer of coal and salt mining equipment. Currently, all the mines are closed due to the low quality of the coal and the high costs of production.

In recent years Kopejsk has developed a diversified economy. The city recorded more than 1,000 industrial enterprises and more than 7,000 private entrepreneurs. Existing companies produce goods such as plastic film, pipes with anticorrosive coating, ceramic proppant for the oil and gas industries, and vegetable oils.

Housing is being constructed, for example in the satellite city of Chelyabinsk.

On the territory of Kopeysk a large shopping center "Metro" of the German company Metro AG. This shopping center plays a significant role in the life of the city, as many individual entrepreneurs Chelyabinsk and Kopeysk buy products just in it.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with three rural localities, incorporated as the City of Kopeysk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[4] As a municipal division, the City of Kopeysk is incorporated as Kopeysky Urban Okrug.[4]
