History
The first people who settled in Kamchatka were the Syldavians in 1512. They started a town named "Torkechva", that reached 8,904 people at it's peak. later it was abandoned due to Starvation, and cold. Then in 1789, a group of 50 Russian came to Kamchatka from Orenburg and started the town of Terchevna. a few years later, some moved to Ermagrad 2 years later in 1800. in 1801, there were 69 people in Terchvna, and 15 in Ermagrad. People later rushed to Kamchatka and Siberia for Gold, Copper and Zinc that was discovered later in 1805. the population tripled. The town of Grogornic, was a place for criminals to hide. today it is a prison and a town of 2,300 residents. when the winters became more cold and windy, Kamchatka started to empty once again.In 1850 there were 5,640 in Terchevna and 7,200 in Ermagrad.

Under Lenin
During Lenin's time, Kamchatka saw more and more people rushing in due to construction of Power Plants and new Mines that provided thousands of Jobs. The total Population reached 50,000 and kept climbing.

Under Stalin
Stalin encouraged people to move out of cities, and into the east. Ermagrad was one of the hot spots to live in the East. it was one of the few cities in the east with electricity and water. the prices were cheap and there were concrete housing, not like the wooden huts in other places. There was no shortage of food. Ermagrad grew into 80,000. Stalin ordered to build 10 new towns in Kamchatka. only 4 Survived and they are: Gronicy, Komny,Stalinskovask (Today Irmazelsk) and Rukam. The total population was 1.2 million.

World War II
During WW2, nearly 16% of the USSR's factories were moved east, bringing with them new jobs abd 5,000 more people. that jump started Kamchatka's economy, making it nearly independent when it comes to Food, Electricity, and Water. Jews from east Europe who fled the Nazis came to Kamchatka, making the Jewish community larger. from 600, it grew to 4,300. A new synagogue was built in Ermagrad. though not only Jews, but also Polish and Ukrainians came, and a small group of Estonians. Since Kamchatka wasn't bombed during the war, it let her to grow not like other Europeans cities who were in rubble. All the tank industry moved to Kamchatka as well as most of Laza and ZAZ.

Cold War era
During the 1950s, the Cold War made things in Kamchatka intense. It was the second front and the closest point to the USA. A few Nuclear missile silos and 5 new army based were placed in Kamchatka. They are there till this day, with 1,200 nuclear missile that will later fall into the hands of Communist Kamchatka. A new factory called Kyroten, was established making cars. The first airport in Kamchatka is established. The population reaches 1.3 million.

In the 1960s, the "Khrushova" plan completely razes Ermagrad, turning it to a more modern city. New high rise buildings are constructed on the east of Ermagrad. Tercheva is remained untouched. Malysh, a new town built on the south of Kamchatka is a model for the Soviet Union, just like Pripyat became later.
