This aerial view taken on October 4, 2018, shows the construction site of Russia's petrochemical holding Sibur's ZapSibNefteKhim plant on the outskirts of Tobolsk. - At the heart of Russia's Siberia, the country's number one petrochemical company Sibur is building a giant facility, testament to its global ambitions and sights on the China market ahead of a record IPO. Over 2,000 kilometres east of Moscow, Tobolsk is the old Siberian capital famous for a notorious jail that once housed Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The town's 17th century fortress overlooks the powerful Irtysh river and streets with historic architecture. Now the city of less than 100,000 people is also getting what will be one of Russia's biggest petrochemical complexes, a multibillion dollar plan by privately-owned Sibur to turn crude from nearby West Siberian fields into polymer granules used to make plastic products.
