However, 15 years later, the number of people registered in the city grew rapidly and already exceeded 7,000. In the 90s of the twentieth century, this figure almost reached 200,000 people. Further, the growth was no longer so rapid. In some years there is even a decline (2000, 2004-2008, 2011), but these are insignificant figures, within one thousand.

At the turn of the 21st century, Novorossiysk (population in 2000 – 203,300 people) was already showing weak annual growth. If previously it was more than 14,000, now it is within 5,000. Now almost 267,000 people permanently live here. In terms of population, it ranks 75th among other Russian cities.

Currently, this year is considered the founding of the city. After 28 years, Novorossiysk becomes the center of the Black Sea District. The population at that time was only 430 people. From that moment on, the city began to develop. The first factories were built, the railway appeared.

Religious sites

To get acquainted with the religious sites of Novorossiysk, it is worth visiting the following temples:

Church of the Life-Giving Trinity stands on the street Proletarskaya, 13 and belongs to the Russian Orthodox Church MP. Initially, a wooden structure was built here at the end of the 19th century, but over time the small church could not accommodate all the parishioners and in 1906 a new stone building was consecrated. During Stalin's time, holding services here was prohibited, and in 1957 the sanctuary was blown up. Six years later, a cinema was built on this site, and only in 1996 did the authorities allow the building to be used for church purposes. Currently, the building and the entire surrounding area belongs to the Holy Trinity Parish.
Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary located at: st. Vidova, 26. Its construction began at the end of the 19th century. and after the completion of construction work, the structure was consecrated as the Sorrow Church. During Stalin's times, the parish was closed, and in 1942 services were resumed. Since the end of the Second World War, this has been the only Orthodox church in the city. The building is a small one-domed rectangular temple with a vestibule and a refectory. In 2011, a fire broke out and destroyed the building, and restoration work is now underway to rebuild the cathedral.
The Church of Russian Confessors and New Martyrs is located on the street. Pionerskaya, 1 and was consecrated in 2002. It contains a large number of relics of holy saints, and in the altar there is a piece of the Lord’s Cross. The church has a library, a Sunday school, a missionary center and a chapel service. The temple complex was built in the same style and attracts tourists with its appearance.

Primorsky district

The Primorsky district includes 13 microdistricts and nearby villages (Tsemdolina, Kirillovka, Borisovka). Housing can be chosen to suit every taste - private houses, townhouses, old high-rise buildings, new buildings. Primorsky district is most famous for its traffic jams - in the morning and evening, as well as during rush hour, vehicles are stopped. The journey to and from work takes a lot of time. Plus, the abundance of transport is associated with air pollution from exhaust gases. Another relative disadvantage is the distance from the sea; it will take a long drive to get there, especially considering the traffic jams. But at the same time, the infrastructure is quite developed - there is everything for a comfortable stay. The cost of housing and rent is average, in the villages it is slightly lower.
