Magnitogorsk (Магнитогорск) is a city in Russia. It is named after what was once its chief feature, a mountain that was almost entirely composed of iron ore. the mountain was heavily mined and the iron smelted in Magnitogorsk throughout the 1930s, during the days of Stalin's Five-Year-Plans. The mountain's mines have been mostly exhausted by the present day, but Magnitogorsk still sees heavy smelting activity processing ores from other parts of Russia and former Soviet republics. The years of smelting have taken an ecological toll on the city.
