Dobryanka

Dobryanka (Finn. Topriänkä, Russ. Добрянка) is a mid-sized Uralican city that sits on the banks of the Kamskoye Reservoir, straddling the Dobryanka River, about 60 kilometres (about 40 miles) north of Perm'. It is also the principle centre on Highway UH-12B, which was, effectively, an upgrade on previous arterial roads leading into the city from both ends.

Dobryanka was founded in 1632, making it one of the oldest settlements in Permski Rayon. Its first major industry was ferrous metallurgy, as an ironworks was built in the city in the mid-18th century. More recently, it was involved more in the lumber industry and energy, however, when the oil ran out, they had to explore the possibility of bringing metallurgical enterprises back into the city. Agriculture from the surrounding areas was important as well.

Nowadays, ferrous and argentous metallurgy, forestry, sawmilling, pulp and paper production, and agricultural machine-building dominate the economy of Dobryanka. There are also decent retail and food production sectors.
