Magnitogorsk covers an area of 392, 35 square kilometers with a population (at the beginning of 2014) of 414, 897 thousand people.
Geographical location of Magnitogorsk
The length of the city in the direction from north to south is 27 kilometers, and from west to east - 22 kilometers. Moreover, the western border of the administrative entity Magnitogorsk is also the border of the region itself, which includes the city with the Republic of Bashkortostan. That is, it is also the border of the Ural and Volga FDs.
The capital of ferrous metallurgy is located next to the Magnitka Mountain, which is part of the eastern slope of the Southern Urals. Moreover, the Ural River also flows through Magnitogorsk, one bank of which is in Europe, and the other in Asia. Moreover, historians believe that the modern city is located on the traditional territory of Bashkortostan, and is also the 42nd most populous municipal formation in Russia.
