Transportation

Biser lies on the railway from Solikamsk to Yekaterinburg.[5] On 11 February 1924 the station was renamed Yemshanovo in honor of Alexander Ivanovich Yemshanov, the manager of the Perm Railway and a former (1920-21) People's Commissar of Communications (i.e. Transport) of the RSFSR. The name reverted to Biser after Yemshanov was shot in the Great Purge on 26 November 1937.
