Chelyabinsk Oblast (Chelyabinskaya oblast), a federal subject of Russia
Like several other Ural villages, among them Parizh (Paris) and Berlin, it was named to honor the feats of Cossacks in the war against Napoleon—in this case, a victorious battle of Fère-Champenoise that took place on March 25, 1814.
After the war ended, Sidorenko retired from the Red Army, and settled down in Chelyabinsk Oblast, in the Ural Mountains, where he worked as the foreman of a coal mine.
Born in 1889 in the village of Mediak in Chelyabinsk province, Orenburg Governorate (these days in the Argayashsky District, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia) to the family of the religious leader of a local Islamic community; his father Gabidulla Kurbangaliev was the local Imam khatib and a religious teacher who had a number of followers (Murids).
Here, they founded a chain of villages named after the battles of Napoleonic Wars, including present-day Parizh, named after the Battle of Paris, Fershampenuaz (after the Battle of Fère-Champenoise), Kassel (after engagements near Kassel in Hesse), Trebiy (after the Battle of Trebbia) etc.
In 2005, an Eiffel Tower 1:5 replica was constructed in Parizh to serve as a cellular network station.
