Izhevsk (Ustinov - 1985-87), the capital of Udmurtia Republic, was founded in 1760 on the Izh river as a workmen`s settlement of the iron-works. But the whole glory to Izhevsk was brought by the arms-producing factory built in 1807. In 1918 the settlement was raised into the status of a city. The modern Izhevsk is the large industrial, cultural and scientific city of Russian Federation with a population of 650 thousand. There are the Drama Theatre, the Music Theatre, the Puppet Theatre, the Museum of Local Lore, the Museum of Fine Arts in Izhevsk.
