Lipetsk is a city and regional center in Russia, located 400 kilometers from Moscow. It is a large industrial and cultural center. The population of Lipetsk ranks thirty-sixth in size in Russia, which indicates the dense population of the city.
The settlement is quite modern and developing. Enterprises located within Lipetsk and its suburbs provide stable growth dynamics. The city is mainly known for its steel and rolled steel producers, water and beverages. The city is known as a training center for civil aviation pilots.
The entire economy of the region rests on the work of such enterprises as the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant, Svobodny Sokol, and Indesit. Factories producing building materials make a big contribution. But it is not only heavy industries that distinguish the city. The food and light industries are developing well here. The population of Lipetsk mainly works in these areas.
Climatic conditions
The city is located in the continental part of Russia, so the climate is appropriate - moderate, with clearly defined seasons. However, the last few years have been characterized by climate changes: for example, the average air temperature has become an order of magnitude higher, summers are very hot and dry, in winter the situation is no better - snow can only fall for the first time in January.
It was thanks to such changes that the population of the city of Lipetsk and the local administration began to experiment with green spaces. For example, tropical palm trees feel great near the Embankment. Biological specialists were able to grow fruits such as pomegranate and figs, without creating special conditions in greenhouses.
What do migrants need to know?
Lipetsk and the region have a clear advantage over other areas. The region is located in the most developed part of the country. The region produces various ferrous metallurgy products (rolled products, steel, cast iron), household appliances (refrigerators, tractors), and food products. From the total production of the country in the region they produce:
- Household freezers and refrigerators - 40%.
- Granulated sugar - 8%.
- Tractor cultivators - 22%.
- Canned fruits and vegetables - 25.2%.
- Tractors - 7.1%.
- Cast iron - 19.2%.
- Finished products - 15%.
- Mineral waters - 7%.
Thanks to highly developed agriculture, the metallurgical industry and other areas of production, you can quickly find work with a good salary for specialists in various professions.
Employment structure by industry sector in the Lipetsk region
Ecological situation
The reason for such dramatic changes in climate is the deplorable environmental situation. The city is among the top most polluted settlements in the country. The main “violator” of environmental safety is the Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works. The plant is the most productive in Europe, so the volume of emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere is simply indescribable.
The difficult environmental situation is associated with a huge number of personal vehicles and the work of large enterprises. Of course, the transport sector and industry provide employment to the population, so Lipetsk is a very attractive city for those looking for work. But the last fact once again proves that even more people expose their health to negative influences from the outside.
Attempts to combat industries polluting the city
The population of Lipetsk has already become accustomed to window sills that are constantly black with dust and the aromas of hydrogen sulfide, which are especially noticeable on weekends. A significant contribution to the deterioration of the ecology of the populated area is made by Lipetskcement OJSC, Svobodny Sokol OJSC, and ChSZ-Lipetsk LLC.
But whatever the population in Lipetsk, even if the locals are accustomed to this kind of phenomena, the situation requires normalization. Ecology, first of all, is the life and health of people. In connection with this, there was even a protest rally against the launch of a glass factory without dust collection units.
Bus stations of Lipetsk
The bus station in Lipetsk is located at Pobedy Avenue, 89, not far from the Ring Square. Opposite the main bus station building there is a plumbing store called Santekhtsentr. The station operates 24 hours a day, without weekends or long technical breaks. You can get to the bus station building by public transport or taxi.
Buses depart on more than 80 routes every day: Ivovo, Chistaya Dubrava, Casino, Novoe Dubovoe, Michurinsk, Verkhniy Telelyuy, Penza, Mokroye, Stanovoe, Lebedyan, Borovoe, Usman, Fomina-Negachevka, Krasnoe, Yelets, Dolgorukovo.
Population and demographics
The population of Lipetsk at the beginning of 2021 is 511,927 people. In the central Black Earth Region (one of the twelve economic regions of the Russian Federation), the city ranks second in population. Thanks to good employment opportunities in their specialty, young people are drawn to the populated area, thereby ensuring stable population growth. The number of visitors, of course, is small, since we should not forget about those who moved to the capital for a better life. Many native residents of the city leave for Moscow, but attachment to their native places forces people to return to their small homeland sooner or later.
Now the settlement is considered attractive for immigrants. But sixty years ago the population of the city of Lipetsk was five times smaller.
Edge Features
Lipetsk is located on the geological border of the Don Plain and the Central Russian Upland. That is why there is such heterogeneous hilly terrain here. The city is based on the Voronezh River. The region is small in area - only 320 square meters. km. Moreover, the height of the center is 160 m. Lipetsk is located on the same time zone as Moscow. The UTM time offset is +3:00. The climate here is temperate, continental, as in the entire region. The city is located at the same latitude as Amsterdam and Berlin, but temperatures vary markedly. Winters in the region are consistently moderate. It snows most of the time of the year. In winter, the average temperature does not exceed -8 degrees.
Summer is sunny and warm, there is no intense heat. The temperature in July is about +20 degrees. At the same time, the amount of precipitation does not exceed 500 mm.
Features of Lipchans
The population of Lipetsk has a number of characteristic features. The average resident of this city is gloomy and stern. A hard look is a completely normal phenomenon, which at first frightens visitors. Therefore, local residents are quite easy to distinguish. Many visitors get used to the character traits of Lipetsk residents and even borrow certain traits - this is a completely normal process.
It is worth remembering one more feature that distinguishes the entire population of Lipetsk. We are talking about a special pronunciation of the letter “g”, which is more reminiscent of the sound “x”. When you first stay in the city, listening to the speech of local residents is quite unusual and funny.
Population of Lipetsk: demographic situation
In the modern period, Lipetsk is one of the cities in the Central Black Earth region that demonstrate quite rapid development. Over the past fifty years, the population of Lipetsk has grown quite rapidly. Therefore, today the figure of 500 thousand people is not so surprising. If we compare all the cities of the Black Earth Region, then in terms of the number of inhabitants Lipetsk can be placed in second place. The leader here is Voronezh.
Lipetsk: location, population
Lipetsk is a Russian city that is the administrative center of the Lipetsk region. In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the number of residents, and, according to data for 2013, the population of Lipetsk is about 509 thousand people. While maintaining the status of a regional center, Lipetsk at the same time serves as the administrative center of the Lipetsk region.
This city occupies the territory surrounded by the Central Russian Upland and the Oka-Don Plain, and covers both banks of the Voronezh River. Lipetsk is located 428 km from Moscow. In the direction from south to north, the city stretches 22 kilometers, and in breadth, i.e. from east to west, its span is 27 kilometers. Taking into account the territory occupied by Lipetsk, its area is about 282 square kilometers. It's a pretty big city, considering how many people live in it. Lipetsk is only three times smaller in area than Moscow.
Knowing how densely populated a city Lipetsk is, the population of the region is also worth knowing. It is equal to about 1.2 million people. Moreover, among them, urban residents make up 780 thousand people. (65%), and rural - 434 thousand people. (35%). An important characteristic is the density of the population of the Lipetsk region. In this region there are 51 inhabitants for every square kilometer.
In 2007, the city for the first time became one of the participants in the program to facilitate the resettlement of compatriots living abroad. It is planned that this program will operate until 2012. In accordance with expectations, this time will be enough for several thousand compatriots to return to their homeland. The decision to include Lipetsk among the participants in this program was logical. The fact is that this city continues to grow, and new industrial enterprises are appearing in it. All this creates favorable conditions for people in need of work and housing, which will help them raise children.
The fact that the lives of city residents are getting better every year can be confirmed by the demographic situation. According to statistics, from 2003 to 2008, the birth rate has been steadily increasing, while the mortality rate has been showing a downward trend. For example, in 2003 the number of newborns was 4448, and after 5 years this figure increased to 5127 babies. In the case of mortality for the same period, there was a drop in indicators from 7402 to 6870 people per year. It is also good news that during this period, divorces decreased by 25% (the decrease was from 3938 to 2861 cases). And this is against the backdrop of the fact that marriages are no less common.
Lipetsk is the only city in the region where the population has grown
After the All-Russian Population Census was conducted from October 14 to October 25 last year, preliminary results became available. In accordance with the data received, the total number of census participants was 1172, 8 thousand people who have lived in the region for a long time.
The results showed that in the Lipetsk region the number of residents decreased by 40.7 thousand people. Natural population decline is cited as the main reason for population decline.
The trend of population decline has affected almost all cities with the exception of Lipetsk, where the picture is completely opposite to the regional one. Here the population growth was 0.4%. Currently, the population of Lipetsk is 508,124 people. An increase in population was also noted in the village of Terbuny, where this figure was about 5%.
Among the fifteen districts of this region, a decrease in the number of residents was recorded.
We can talk about the increase in numbers in relation to three regions: Lipetsk, Gryazinsky and Yeletsky. The situation with the female gender has remained unchanged: its representatives outnumber men both in the region and throughout the country.

City forming enterprise
The city is an industrial giant, so technical specialties are the main vacancies that the employment center offers. Lipetsk is distinguished by its enterprises in the field of metallurgy and mechanical engineering.
The main one, of course, is the Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works, which is even called a city within a city, because the territory of the enterprise is a whole developed infrastructure, including a transport network, a museum, a zoo and much more. The plant employs sixty thousand people, according to social security. Lipetsk actually provides jobs for one enterprise. After all, these are not only the workers of the workshops themselves. Several thousand workers support the plant's infrastructure.
Getting a job at this enterprise is not difficult, especially if we are talking about a highly qualified technical specialist. There is always a stir in the HR department of the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant. In addition to the variety of vacancies, the company can offer decent wages (on average higher than at similar factories). The plant never delays payments to its employees. Even during the crisis, wages were paid in full and on time.
At the same time, the company maintains a policy of strict discipline. Electronic readers are installed everywhere, so being late even by a few minutes will not be without an explanation. The company strictly controls its employees.
Special economic zone
There is increased employment in this area. Lipetsk is a special economic zone designed to develop the manufacturing and industrial sectors of the Russian Federation. This SEZ has not only regional but also federal significance. The zone is located in the suburbs of Lipetsk. Occupies an area of 10.3 square meters. km. The local SEZ attracts investors with its geographical location and transport accessibility. Among the other economic advantages of the zone, a free customs regime without duties and taxes should be highlighted.
Industrial power
In addition to the city-forming Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant, the city operates a cement plant, a silicate products plant. A special economic zone began to form around the representative office of the Italian company Indesit. In Lipetsk, this company produces washing machines and refrigerators. This economic zone operates outside the city, but getting there is not difficult for workers. The company organized free buses, which, of course, is a very smart decision.
Administrative division
Since 1954, Lipetsk has been the regional center of the region. Today it includes several independent administrative units. They are subordinate to the Lipetsk administration. The city is divided into four territorial districts: Oktyabrsky, Left Bank, Sovetsky and Right Bank. All of them are approximately equal in area and economic importance. Traditionally, the city has more than a dozen districts: Center, Peredelitsy, Syrsky, Sokolskoye, Mirny, Severny Rudnik, Experimental Station, Traktorny, New Life, Zarechye, Matyrsky, Dachny, Venera, Yeletsky and others.
Currently in Lipetsk there are 23 squares, 2 boulevards and more than 700 streets.
Business acumen
We can say that for many residents of Lipetsk, and especially visitors, one of their priorities is their financial condition. Home, family and health, unfortunately, often fade into the background. Even when choosing a car, the city population prefers not safety and spaciousness, but a representative appearance. Residents of Lipetsk have the highest rates of consumer activity.
Lipetsk is chosen as a source of investment not only by domestic, but also by many foreign investors. The economic situation in the city has a positive trend, employment of Lipetsk craftsmen is at a sufficient level, unemployment is not typical for the locality.

Criminal life of the city
It cannot be said that crime in the locality in question flourishes more than in other Russian cities. But there were stories that horrified the entire population of Lipetsk. Basically, the reports mention domestic crimes committed while intoxicated, robberies, and hooliganism. But there are also truly chilling murders:
- An incident that occurred ten years ago received very loud publicity. This is the story of a schizophrenic maniac, who was later given the nickname “chess player.” This nickname was associated with the fact that the criminal loved to play chess in the evenings and then kill his playing partners somewhere behind the garages.
- For six years, “Lipetsk Chikatilo” Anatoly Sedykh brutally raped and killed women. He was on the list of suspects for quite a long time. The victims' phones and clothes were found in the criminal's car, but for unknown reasons the killer remained at large. “Lipetsky Chikatilo” was caught and then released due to lack of evidence. And yet, in 2010, the Supreme Court sentenced the maniac to life imprisonment. He has at least twelve victims to his name.
- The most famous case that shook the whole of Lipetsk was the disappearance of Anastasia Polushkina. The girl was only sixteen years old, the whole city was searching. The public outcry of this case led to the fact that photographs of Nastya began to appear everywhere - on the streets, bus stops, in newspapers and social networks. However, the story ended in tears - the girl was drowned after being injected with tranquilizers, but experts claim that death occurred on the day of the abduction. The suspect was detained but not convicted. The motive for the crime remained a mystery.
Population of the region

At the same time, the demographic density exceeds 48 people/sq. km. In the Lipetsk region, the urban population significantly predominates - about 64%.
It is worth noting that the current population of the region is only 15 thousand more than in 1959. The last 20 years have seen a serious outflow of young people to larger cities and abroad. During this period, more than 90 thousand citizens left the region. Today, Russians, Ukrainians, Armenians, Belarusians, Gypsies, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, Tatars, and representatives of many other nationalities live here.
Memorable places
It’s probably worth moving on to more positive moments in the life of the city. As many people as there are in Lipetsk, there are so many opinions about the city. Some see only problems, while others, in spite of everything, love their small homeland for what it is. In addition to businesses, the city also has many different attractions. There are quite enough places in Lipetsk that provide workers with decent rest.
From the train station you can get to the wonderful Bykhanov Garden. From the window of bus route 324 you can also see a puppet theater, a registry office and a monument in the shape of an airplane.
You can also visit Heroes Square, which is always well-groomed and is distinguished by a huge riot of flowers. Petrovsky Descent should definitely be included in the cultural program. Going down the main staircase, you can enjoy the most beautiful cascade of fountains. If you walk through the underground passage under Petrovsky Spusk, you will see a view of the Lower Park. Here you can try healing mineral water from the spring. Near the main square of the city there is a chapel of Paul and Peter, walking along which you can get to the light and music fountain.
In addition to excellent hiking, Lipetsk has entertainment for every taste. These include theaters, shopping centers, and clubs. In general, Lipetsk is a very modern and progressive city that provides the population with sufficient jobs, which, due to the occasional growing crisis in the country, becomes a very important fact.
Lipetsk is a city and regional center in Russia, located 400 kilometers from Moscow. It is a large industrial and cultural center. The population of Lipetsk ranks thirty-sixth in size in Russia, which indicates the dense population of the city.
More about the city
Lipetsk is located 400 km from the capital of Russia. Thanks to such a convenient location, residents of the northern regions move to Lipetsk for permanent residence. Why is this city popular?
First of all, because of its history: the Lipetsk residents themselves believe that their city was founded almost at the same time as St. Petersburg and it was also created in 1703 by Peter I.
But historians say something else: Lipetsk received city status only in 1779 thanks to the decree of Catherine II. Before that, it was a settlement known for the iron factories that opened here.
Detailed map of the Lipetsk region
Due to the fact that the factories were dismantled and transported to Lugansk, the development of the city practically stopped for almost a century. After all, along with the enterprises, most of the population, the workers of those same factories, also left.
Perhaps Lipetsk would have remained a run-down town if NLMK had not been built here. Thanks to a large metallurgical plant, it received the status of a regional center, ahead of Yelets - one of the most famous cities in the Lipetsk region.
