Experienced experts reasonably believe that the city of Marx the old name of Ekaterinenstadt) is a kind of reflection of the inner world of its real existing namesake, which entered the world history. The point is that the textile manufacturer Engels, after whom the neighboring city was named, still gravitated towards industry, while the fan of natural philosophy and materialism Karl spent most of his free time reflecting and developing a new idea of light communism.
