Елизавет, Residential district in Chkalovski district, Russia

Elizaveta (Yelizavetinsky) is a residential district in the Chkalovsky administrative district, on Yekaterinburg's southern edge on the left bank of the Patrushikha (Uktus) River, at the western slopes of the Uktus Mountains. It borders Uktus to the north, Vtorchermet to the west and the Bazalt cottage settlement to the south, with Uktus Forest Park as its eastern boundary. Since the 1970s it has gained multi-storey housing blocks of up to ten floors.

The settlement arose in 1722 with the Verkhne-Uktus (Yelizavetinsky) ironworks, named after Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. A state mining plant operated here from 1726 to 1755, and from 1802 to 1823 a crushing and gold-washing factory processed ore from the Berezovsky gold mines. The plant closed in the mid-19th century; in 1907 the site was revived as the Gera factory of the Krukovsky pasta-makers, later the Spartak plant and Sverdlovsk lift-building works.

The district's name comes from the Yelizavetinsky ironworks, named after Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. In 1877 Abbess Magdalina founded the Church of the All-Merciful Saviour here; at the turn of the 20th century the Novo-Tikhvin Monastery held an agricultural farmstead on Yelizavet, now a metochion. The 1887 household census counted 562 residents in 124 households, of whom only 33 men and 7 women could read.

The district lies on the left bank of the Patrushikha (Uktus) River at the western foot of the Uktus Mountains, with Uktus Forest Park forming its eastern boundary. City buses 47, 51, 52 and 57 serve it, and the Yekaterinburg city electric train also stops here. From the centre, head south past Uktus and Vtorchermet.
