Salavat is one of the youngest towns of Bashkortostan, but it is growing rapidly; 160000 people have already moved there. Like all new towns, it was built virtually from scratch. The first signs of it were the faded tents of geodesists. Soon the local residents learned that here, in 15 km from the town of Ishimbai and in 40 km from Sterlitamak, the petrochemical plant would be built.

In a year (1949) there was adopted a decree which gave the settlement of the builders the name of Salavat in honour of Salavat Yulaev, the great son of the Bashkort people.

Towards the end of 1950s the first units of the machine-building, catalyst factory and of the refinery were commissioned.

Today Salavat is the town of technicians, builders, workers of the factories of light industry. Representatives of different peoples sharing common concern for the future of the town live here and they are proud of it. Thanks to them Salavat ranks the third in the republic on the industrial output.

The open joint-stock company «Salavatnefteorgsintez» is the largest representative of the town’s leading industry — petrochemistry. It exports petrol, diesel oil, black oil, gasoline, chemical fertilizers, foaming agents and many other goods.

The enterprise «Salavatneftemach» represents the machine-building complex of the town.

Characteristically, Salavat boasts not only its enterprises but also its centres of culture and sport where people can rest and take up sports and artistic activities. There are stadiums, swimming-pools, a sports complex, besides there are sport halls, and ski bases, shooting galleries, hockey courts. The most popular sports in Salavat are speedway, judo and sambo, athletics, skating, football and hockey.

The important consideration is given to the improvement of the townspeople’s working and living conditions.

МОЙ РОДНОЙ ГОРОД

Салават является одним из самых молодых городов Башкортостана, но он быстро растет; туда уже переехали 160000 человек. Как и все новые города, он был построен практически с нуля. Первыми его признаками были палатки геодезистов. Вскоре местные жители узнали, что здесь, в 15 км от города Ишимбай и в 40 км от Стерлитамака, будет построен нефтехимический завод.

Через год (1949) был принят указ, в котором поселку строителей было присвоено название Салават в честь Салавата Юлаева, великого сына башкортского народа.

К концу 1950-х годов были введены в эксплуатацию первые агрегаты машиностроительного, каталитического завода и завода.

Сегодня Салават — город техников, строителей, рабочих предприятий легкой промышленности. Здесь живут представители разных народов, разделяющие общую заботу о будущем города, и они этим гордятся. Благодаря им Салават занимает третье место в республике по объему промышленного производства.

Открытое акционерное общество «Салаватнефтеоргсинтез» является крупнейшим представителем ведущей отрасли города — нефтехимии. Он экспортирует бензин, дизельное топливо, мазут, бензин, химические удобрения, пенообразователи и многие другие товары.

Предприятие «Салаватнефтехаш» представляет машиностроительный комплекс города.

Для Салавата характерны не только предприятия, но и центры культуры и спорта, где люди могут отдыхать, заниматься спортом и творчеством. Здесь есть стадионы, бассейны, спортивный комплекс, кроме того есть спортивные залы, лыжные базы, тир, хоккейные корты. Самыми популярными видами спорта в Салавате являются спидвей, дзюдо и самбо, легкая атлетика, катание на коньках, футбол и хоккей.
