Dreams Come True. For those who want to go to Paris, nothing is impossible, just choose the direction: the village of Paris, Chelyabinsk region. Why not? After all, there are other settlements in the Russian outback with equally noisy names: London, Berlin, Leipzig, Kassel. So, Paris is an ordinary village, there are thousands on the map of Russia. But only this is the "real" Eiffel Tower.

History of the village

This is an old village in the southeast of the Chelyabinsk region, half an hour's drive from the regional center of Fershampenoise (another European name!) And a hundred kilometers from Magnitogorsk. People inhabited its indigenous inhabitants - a small Nagaibaki people, about which many did not even hear. The settlement was founded by Cossacks-Nagaibaks. They were forcibly relocated beyond the Urals. Before that, the Orthodox Nagaibaki-Kryashen (baptized) lived on the territory of present-day Bashkiria. By the decree of Nicholas I on the perimeter of the southeastern borders of the Russian Empire, new Cossack fortresses were built as security points. Refusing resettlement was punishable - peoples and nationalities in Russia have always been an instrument of state policy, but voluntarily resettled cut good land and helped with the construction of houses. In the spring of 1842, the village of Paris was formed. The Chelyabinsk region today represents this locality among its sights. After all, he received his name in commemoration of the great victories of Russian troops in the Patriotic War of 1812. The Cossack regiment of the Nagaibaks met victory over the Napoleonic army in the streets of Paris.

Today's Day

No matter how loud the name was, it is today the ordinary village of Paris, the Chelyabinsk region, the Russian outback. Life is the most that neither is usual, rustic. The population is not large, but not small for a modern village - two thousand people. 800 houses on 11 streets, the buildings are almost all single-storey, except for a few two-story buildings of the "Khrushchev" layout. And in the rest everything, as everywhere: there is a school named after Vasily Blyukher, the House of culture, the precinct hospital, a kindergarten. People are engaged mainly in agriculture, horses are bred, rye is grown - it will be well born here. Young people, like everywhere else, do not really want to stay in their native village, they leave for study and work in cities.

And what is interesting about the village, except history?

What is the main attraction here - you can guess.
Of course, this is the Eiffel Tower, only its address is not France, but the village of Paris, Chelyabinsk region. Have constructed it recently - in 2006 solemn opening has taken place. Dimensions - 5: 1 relative to the original. And here the tower fulfills its working function - it serves as the operator of mobile communications operator Uralsvyazinform. The construction in record time - for three months - was made at the Zlatoust Metalwork Plant. However, it would be wrong to call this tower the only feature of Paris. The villagers treat their past with tenderness and pride, they also have their Museum of Village History, opened in a strong Cossack house, once owned by the rich merchant Tinibaev.
