Irina Konstantinova, Uralkali Head of HR and Communications:

The recognition of Uralkali’s corporate museum is a confirmation of its uniqueness and social value — not only for residents of Berezniki and Solikamsk, but for the whole country. Our museum is the only facility in Russia that unfolds the history of the Verkhnekamskoye potassium and magnesium salt deposit and describes the birth and development of the potash industry in Russia.
