Mass celebrations were held on the main square, and the most prominent residents of the city and workers of the metallurgical plant were awarded honorary titles. Vladimir Basov visited the festival
Alexander Timakov has lived in Kulebaks all his life, first devoted himself to the pioneer movement, then to managerial work. On the day of the 90th anniversary of the city, he receives the title of "Honorary Veteran" of the city.
Alexander Timakov, Honorary veteran of G.O.G. Kulebaki: I am somehow attached to our city, my native city. Firstly, it is distinguished by greenery, good people, responsive, kind people, and somehow we can say we live as one big family.
Kulebaki is one of those cities where you want to live and where you don't want to leave, locals say.
Alexey, A Resident Of Kulebak: I love this city, it's generally the best city on earth, I lived in Nizhny Novgorod for 15 years, but I came back here, why? And here it's quiet - the soul is resting.
Mikhail, a resident of Kulebak: Grew up here, got used to everything, I like the city here, beautiful, nature is good, clean city, I don't want to leave here.
In many ways, this is the merit of the city-forming enterprise - PJSC Ruspolimet. The management of the plant understands that highly qualified specialists will stay here only if good living conditions are created for them.
Maxim Klochai, CEO of PJSC Ruspolimet: We are interested in making it pleasant to live in this city and therefore we are developing not only the plant, but also the city.
On the day of the city, Kulebachans also celebrate their professional holiday - metallurgist's Day.
Alexander Pichugin, Engineer-technologist of the first category, Honorary metallurgist: In front of me still in the eyes of the molten tub of the 50-ton open-hearth furnace where I worked, this probably fascinated me, and I am still under hypnosis.
For Kulebak metallurgists, open-hearth furnaces remained only a pleasant memory from the past. Today, the most difficult metal grades for the domestic industry are manufactured here.
Evgeny Zavyalov, Master of the main production of the electrometallurgy workshop, Honorary Metallurgist: Yes, it's a challenge to go to work every day, do something new, do something economically profitable, do something important for yourself.
For 156 years, the plant has come a long way - from the smelting of simple cast iron, to titanium, special steels and alloys, metal powders and products made from them. Today there are plans to expand production and release new complex alloys.
