Klementy Ushkov (1782/1783-1859), an Ural hydraulic engineer. He was born into the family of an Old Believer serf peasant. Ushkov worked at the mills' construction and delivered coal for the Demidov plants. In the 1840s, he developed a plan for turning the Chernaya River into a pond of one of Demidov's mining plants. His idea solved the problem of machine idle time in little snow winters or dry summers. This invention granted him freedom. He moved to Yekaterinburg, where he built several mills and founded the first cloth production in the Urals.
