Aleksandrovsk

Aleksandrovsk (Finn. Santerila) is a small Uralican city in northern Permski Rayon, a short drive north of Kizel on Highway UH-12.

Founded in 1783, Aleksandrovsk started out as a metallurgy town, with iron and steel production being the main industry, which carries through to this day. In the 1920s, a machine-building plant was founded, which would become the starting point of a large industry of the same in Aleksandrovsk. Later, rail-making, road-building material production, and hi-tech would become reasonable presences in the city. There is also a brick-making factory

Culture
The three main ethnic groups in Aleksandrovsk are Russians, Finns, and Bashkirs. There is also a small population of Mari in the city.

In spite of its age, the city doesn't have much in the way of architectural tourist spots, although there are a couple older Orthodox churches that are worth noting - the Church of St. Mefodey, and the Church of St. Cyril. Newer attractions include a large movie theatre complex in the north end of the city, a historical museum in the downtown core, and a museum devoted to the history of steelmaking in Old Russia in the southern city.
