Town in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, located in the Ural Mountains near Yekaterinburg. Population: 30,167 (2010 Census).
Originally a mining settlement founded in 1735 at the Blagodat Mountain to explore its iron ore deposits, it was granted town status in 1926 and was then renamed from Kushvinsky Zavod (Кушвинский Завод) to Kushva. Currently it is stagnant and its population is decreasing as most of the mining industry closed down.
