Revda and the Alpha transmitter

It was founded in 1950 as a loparite ore mining and processing settlement.

To the north of Revda, one of the Russian Alpha transmitters is located.

In 2009, Barents Observer reported that Revda was likely to be closed down and its inhabitants relocated, due to the collapse of the mining industry.[7]
