Kirov plant (formerly Putilov)
St Petersburg, Russian Federation (RU)
The Putilov metallurgical plant was the biggest factory in Russia, if not the world, at the beginning of the 20th century, and a stronghold of the workers movement during the 1905 and 1917 revolutions. The Bolsheviks had it renamed "Krasniy Putilovets Zavod" ( Red workers of Putilov Plant ), then Kirov Plant, after the assassination of bolshevik leader Sergeï Kirov, in 1934. It still produces electric turbines and railway materials.
