Forms the basis of the regional economy, the Sverdlovsk region in particular, iron and steel industry has suffered during the global crisis of 2008-2009 serious damage, thereby causing considerable damage to the socio-economic development of the region. It is recognized, but considered as a temporary loss, which ended with the end of the crisis. The author tries to prove that without a reorientation of the Ural metallurgy on the domestic market, such losses are likely in the future after the crisis.
