Krasnovishersk (Finn. Punaviserala) is a Uralican city in Permski Rayon, the northernmost settlement with city status in said county. Its name is taken from the Vishera River (a major tributary of the Kama), on whose east bank the city sits. Founded as Vizhaikha in 1894 around a joint-stock metallurgical plant, the name was changed to Krasnovishersk in 1930 when it attained town status. Built up by gulag prisoners, a pulp-and-paper mill was soon added to the city. The gulag was closed down in 1934.

  • Krasnovishersk (Finn. Punaviserala) is a Uralican city in Permski Rayon, the northernmost settlement with city status in said county. Its name is taken from the Vishera River (a major tributary of the Kama), on whose east bank the city sits. Founded as Vizhaikha in 1894 around a joint-stock metallurgical plant, the name was changed to Krasnovishersk in 1930 when it attained town status. Built up by gulag prisoners, a pulp-and-paper mill was soon added to the city. The gulag was closed down in 1934. Nowadays, ferrous metallurgy and pulp-and-paper production are still the two most important industries, although machine-building, cement production, the building of refractory bricks, the mining of industrial-grade diamonds, and road and rail based production. It is also a very important retail hub, as it sits at both the northern terminus of Highway UH-12 and the southern terminus of Highway UH-37, which runs through much of Central Uralica. It was formerly one of the most polluted cities in the Ural-Volga area, but cleanup schemes had started even before the city's annexation by Uralica in mid-2008.
