The Alabuga Special Economic Zone was established on December 21, 2005, in Yelabuzhsky District, the Republic of Tatarstan. With an area of 20 km2 Alabuga is the largest special economic zone of industrial type in Russia. The SEZ Alabuga is located 210 km away from the city of Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, and 1028 km from Moscow. ==History== In 1985 in the area between Yelabuga, Naberezhnye Chelny and Mendeleevsk cities the groundworks for a huge Soviet tractor plant were started. Along with the tractor plant the engine, fuel equipment, turbochargers, foundry and forging and machine tool producing factories were planned to be built at the site. In 1988 due to the unstable political and economical situation the decision to establish a production line of small midget cars instead of tractors was taken. By 1991 the access roads and railway, gas pipeline, boiler plant, water pipe were built. However the collapse of the Soviet Union made this project never to be implemented as planned. In July 2005 the Federal Law on the Special economic zones # 116 was passed and by that time the Minister of the Economical Development of Russian Federation German Gref arrived to the site to check the development level of the site and the availability of existing infrastructure to allocate new industrial factories. The decision to found the first Russian SEZ of the industrial type in Tatarstan Republic was supported by the fact that this region is one of the most economically developed and politically stable in Russia. Located in the heart of a massive industrial area, where oil extraction (Tatneft), crude refining, petrochemistry (Nizhnekamskneftekhim, Kazanorgsintez, Nizhnekamskshina and others), machinery manufacturing (KamAZ, Sollers) and aircraft production are well developed. In 2006 the infrastructural construction works on the territory of the SEZ were started. On the 7th of June, 2007 Minister Mentor of Singapore Republic Lee Kwan Yew, who is rightfully considered to be a father of Singapore economic miracle visited SEZ “Alabuga”. He noted: “I am surprised by the significant progress of SEZ in just one year. It shows promise of growth and progress”. Grand Opening of the SEZ Alabuga was held on 20 November 2007. The ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the Russian Federation Government Sergey Ivanov, the Minister of Trade and Economics Elvira Nabiullina, President of the Republic of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaymiev and Prime Minister of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov. On 28 May 2008, the Chairman of the Russian Federation Government Vladimir Putin visited the SEZ.
