The population of the territory is 6.3 million people - about 5% of all inhabitants of the country. The map of the East of Russia with the cities will be given below.

General information

The East of Russia (cities belonging to this region of the country, will be listed below) is considered the most depopulating part of the state. Here in the period from 1991 to 2010 there was a decrease in the population by 1.8 million. The growth rate is 4.1. The total area of this region is more than 6100 thousand square meters. Km (about 36% of the entire territory of the Russian Federation). Historically and geographically, the activity of migration to the Far Eastern Federal District is often attributed to Transbaikalia. Large cities of the Far East of Russia: Vladivostok, Yakutsk, Khabarovsk, Blagoveshchensk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Magadan, Ussuriysk. The region administratively includes nine subjects. The most eastern city of Russia is Anadyr. More about this village later in the article.

Anadyr. Historical reference

The most eastern city of Russia began to develop since 1889. Then Lev Grinevetsky, fulfilling the decree of the tsarist government, laid Novo-Mariinsk at the mouth of the river. The Cossack woman. The city was built slowly enough. Expanded, mainly, private and state-owned trading warehouses. In 1914, a long-wave radio station was built here - at that time one of the most powerful in the country.

Soviet power after the revolution was established in Novo-Mariinsk only by 1924. In the same period, on the basis of the resolution of the Kamchatka Gubernia Committee, the modern name of this settlement was already approved. It became known as Anadyr. By 1927 the most eastern city of Russia became the administrative center of the district, and three years later - the Chukotka district.

Development of Anadyr

A serious impetus to the development of the settlement was the construction of a large port on the shore of the estuary. By 1963 on the river. Cossack was built dam, which allowed to conduct water supply to Anadyr. In 1965 the settlement officially received the status of a city. The first regular non-stop IL-62 flight from Moscow was completed in 1984. In 2004, the most eastern city of Russia is endowed with the status of the district, its structure includes the settlement of Tawaiwaam. The distance from Anadyr to Moscow is 6200 km.

Short description

The easternmost city of Russia lives on the extraction of coal and gold, fishing. In addition, the largest wind power station in the country - the Anadyr wind farm - operates here. Residents are also engaged in reindeer herding, hunting. The streets are built up with panel and block five-story buildings and Khrushchevs. Most of the structures are erected on stilts.

On the territory of the city there is an observation deck. It is located near the monument to Nicholas the Wonderworker. From the observation deck there is a beautiful view of the estuary. Local residents even joke that in good weather you can see Alaska from there. The city also has a local history museum of the Chukotka region's heritage. Each year in Anadyr arranged "Korfest" - the so-called smeltfish festival. Angler-lovers compete in catching this fish.

Transport connection

The Anadyr seaport is considered the largest in the region. Thanks to him among themselves such cities of the Far East of Russia as Magadan, Vladivostok, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and others are reported. Production capacity of the port allows processing up to one million tons of different cargo. Navigation lasts four months (from early July to early November).

In the village of Ugolnye Kopi, on the other side of the estuary, Anadyr Airport is located. Communication with the city is carried out by means of helicopter flights. Also during the winter, an ice crossing is opened, in the summer time small ships and boats are plying. Anadyr Airport has international status. Flights are carried out to Khabarovsk and Moscow, to all settlements of Chukotka.

Roads in the city due to the harsh climate have a concrete coating. Between the airport and Anadyr operates a federal highway A384. Its length is 23 kilometers. Part of the route is a winter road on the ice cover of the estuary. In 2012, the construction of the P-504 highway began to ensure the year-round transportation of Anadyr and the road network of the Far East. It connects the regional center, Omsukchan, Omolon. Despite the status, suggesting the scale of the territory, the city can be traversed from end to end in forty minutes.

Climatic conditions

The proximity of the bay has a significant impact on the weather in Anadyr. Monsoons prevail here, floods are typical for late autumn. In 2001, the lowest temperature was observed - about minus 40 degrees. Climatic conditions have an impact on the plant world. The flora of the easternmost city is not very rich. But at the same time on the territory of the district you can meet many birds. Among them, not only those who live here permanently, but also arriving for wintering (polar owls, partridges, magpies). The animal world is represented by fur-bearing animals, mostly. Here you can find polar fox, ermine, brown bears. However, the animal "evraška" is very popular. These gophers are not afraid of people and can be completely tame.

Conclusion

The East of Russia has an important geostrategic and geopolitical significance for the state. The region has access to the Arctic and Pacific Oceans, borders with the DPRK, Japan, the US and China. In the East of Russia, huge natural reserves are concentrated. For example, in the territory there are about a third of all coal and hydraulic resources. There are also deposits of prometallic, copper ores, platinum, silver and gold. Considering the foregoing, according to many analysts, the migration of the population in the Far Eastern Federal District is very promising. In addition, the territory of the eastern part of the country is considered to be poorly developed. The population density is quite low here. As already mentioned above, the region is considered to be depopulating. Despite the vastness of the territory, the population here does not increase, but on the contrary, it decreases. This is due primarily to the migration outflow of residents. President Putin noted that it is necessary to take active steps to develop the Far East.

Of particular importance in this process is economic cooperation with border states. Active interaction is carried out with China. We also consider the prospect of cooperation with Japan, one of the most economically developed countries in the world, in need of natural resources and new sites for the marketing of its products. Thanks to this interaction, more active development of the Far Eastern territories can begin.
