1719, the famous decree of Peter the Great allowed "everyone in Russia to search, clean and melt metals." It was then that the first "pipes" springs appeared in the vicinity of Vyksa, where artisanal production of scream iron was carried out. But the true - industrial - development of metallurgy in these parts is associated with the decree of the daughter of Peter Elizabeth, who, perhaps not suspecting it, became the first Russian ruler - an ecologist. "To protect the forests from extermination," the empress ordered to close a number of factories at a distance of two hundred versts from Moscow. The list compiled by the Senate also included the enterprises of the famous "iron factories of industrialists" Andrei and Ivan Batashev, and the brothers were forced to recover in search of new places.
