Geography
The village was located between the cities of Kushva and Krasnouralsk , twenty kilometers north of Kushva [1] .
History
The working village of Arbat was formed in 1940 on the basis of the copper mine of the Krasnouralsk smelter. The main enterprise of the village was a mine. There were such social facilities as a seven-year school , a kindergarten and a feldsher point . There were about three hundred houses in the village [1] .
It was abolished due to a lack of population on the basis of a decision of the executive committee of the Sverdlovsk Regional Council of Workers' Deputies dated January 9, 1969. According to other sources, the last family lived in Arbat until 1972 [1] .
Fame
Forgotten by all, the village suddenly gained fame in connection with the appointment of his native Victor Zubkov to the post of Prime Minister of Russia in September 2007. Viktor Zubkov was born and spent his childhood in Arbat (here he graduated from high school).
Both regional and federal authorities showed interest in the village (it is known that requests for the village came to the district administration from the regional center and from Moscow). It is possible that interest in the village is due to the fact that in the Middle Urals there is a tradition of creating museums dedicated to the outstanding natives of the region in their small homeland. So in the village of Butka operates the Boris Yeltsin Museum.
On September 13, 2007, the district administration organized an expedition to the site of the former village, but no traces of the settlement were found: where, according to the indications of the navigation system, the settlement was to be located, only a wasteland was found.
