Chelyabinsk

Chelyabinsk, nestled in Russia’s Ural region, merges industrial grandeur with rolling steppe horizons. Filmmakers love its imposing steel plants, stark cityscapes, and the raw energy of factories—ideal for dystopian thrillers or gritty historical dramas. Interesting fact: in 2013, a meteor exploded over the city, adding cosmic intrigue to an already dramatic skyline.
