Teaching Gallery Label: “Changing the World: Images of Revolution,” Feb-2009, Kate Meyer Magnitogorsk is an industrial town in the very western edge of Siberia in the Ural Mountains. Its name means “Magnetic Mountain” because it sits on an enormous lode of iron ore. There is a huge, Stalin-era machine-tool plant in Magnitogorsk, one of the proud achievements of Stalin’s rapid industrialization campaign of the early 1930s.
