Эльмаш, Residential district in Ordzonikidzevski area, Yekaterinburg, Russia

Elmash is a residential district in northeastern Yekaterinburg with apartment buildings of varying sizes, parks, and shopping centers spread throughout. The area contains schools, clinics, and everyday services that support daily life for residents.

The district's development began in 1932 with construction of the Apparatny Plant, the first unit of the Uralmash plant combine. During the war, the Turbomotorny Plant was evacuated from Leningrad, and a settlement of wooden houses on Shefskaya Street partly survives. Main construction took place in the 1950s with full-size 3- and 5-storey houses, followed by Khrushchevka and Brezhnevka blocks.

The name Elmash is a contraction of Uralmash's neighbouring plant, Ural Elektromashina, later Ural Elektrotyazhmash, built here in the 1930s. The district's cultural life is tied to factory clubs: parks belong to the Turbomotorny Plant and the Kalininets sports complex, and the UETM House of Culture stands among them.

Getting to the city center is easy through metro stations on Kosmonavtov Avenue and several tram routes. Buses and trolleybuses also run through the district, connecting neighborhoods within the area.

On Shefskaya Street, wooden houses from the wartime settlement built for workers of the Turbomotorny Plant, evacuated from Leningrad, still partly stand. Nearby, on the district's edge by Lake Kalinovka, a fishing complex maintains a fish population and hosts fishing competitions.
