Chelyabinsk, which became native to Zoya Prokopyeva, preserves traces of her creative path and working life. One of the key places associated with Prokopieva is the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant, where she began her career and participated in the Metallurg lithobunion.
This place became for her not only a work school, but also a starting point in literary activity, giving inspiration for her early stories. Another significant place is the building of the Chelyabinsk branch of the Union of Writers of Russia, where Prokopyeva worked after graduating from Higher Literary Courses and headed the Bureau of Propaganda of Fiction. These locations reflect the writer’s close connection with the working culture and literary life of the region.
