Ecology of the city

Orel is a city with a large number of squares, boulevards and park areas. The May drought had an adverse effect on the trees - their appearance noticeably deteriorated. Therefore, every year all diseased plants are carefully uprooted and replaced with young ones.

In spring and autumn there is an active fight against harmful insects.

The main problem of urban ecology is illegal cutting of trees. This is happening against the background of active construction of the city.

The Orlik and Oka rivers are the main sources of drinking water. According to experts, its quality is not the best. In 1/3 of all water bodies in the city, the water has an unhealthy tint and does not meet sanitary standards.

Orel - the city of inspiration

There are a large number of house museums throughout the city. The city of Orel is permeated with an incredible atmosphere of creativity. Its population was not only ordinary citizens. It was here that Bunin, Fet, Granovsky and Turgenev lived and worked. In addition to writers and historians, famous sculptors and artists were born here. Galleries and museums are dedicated to the work of these people, which are also worth visiting.

Residents of the city love a slow life and various types of walks. All conditions have been created for this here. The ideal place to spend free time is the “Noble Nest”. Another cozy place is the Turgenev gazebos. If a tourist is looking for peace and quiet, then he simply must visit the Oka and Orlik Spit. There are not many people here, so you can calmly enjoy relaxation and silence.

Oryol is also famous for its unusual architectural elements. The city's population is proud of its sculptures, one of which is an eagle created from wire and straw. But the residents did not stop there, and soon a whole series of similar works appeared. So the world saw a bear made of grass and so on. Despite all the difficulties it had to go through, the city retained its identity. Now it is a large industrial center.

Is it worth it to move to Orel for permanent residence? Orel is a small provincial town, it has its pros and cons.

It is quite difficult for representatives of humanitarian and creative professions to find work. Workers and engineers are highly valued here.

Orel is neither an industrial center nor a resort. But this place is perfect for a secluded, measured life.

You can most often meet children and pensioners on the streets. There are few young people, although there are a number of universities in the city.

There are many schools, but there are huge queues at kindergartens. It is impossible to place a child there without an “additional payment.”

Higher education can be obtained at the following universities:

• Russian Academy of National Economy.
• Oryol State University.
• Law University.

• University of Culture and Arts.

Advantages and disadvantages of the city of Orel

Negative reviews about the city

Below are real reviews from people who moved.

Anton : “Orel is a city of trade. The industry was well developed under the USSR, but now it is clearly going through difficult times. The standard of living is acceptable for the province, but many work two or three jobs.

Many have loans, mortgages, debts - they live beyond their means. The average salary in Orel is about 15,000. Most people work outside their specialty.

Those who are smarter and more capable try to get out of here in order to realize themselves. The rest do not live, but survive.

The quality of goods and products varies greatly. On the market you can mainly find both Chinese and domestic products.

Factories are gradually dying out. I don’t know what this is connected with, the general crisis or the wrong actions of local authorities.”

Maxim : “I’m not delighted with life in Orel. I’m looking forward to the end of my contract with the company, after which I’ll move to St. Petersburg.

The main advantages of the city: mild climate and beautiful nature. I don't like anything else here.

The city seems miserable and depressing. Medicine is in a stagnant state; the X-ray room in the state clinic looks more like a torture chamber. In general, getting sick in Orel is difficult. There are huge queues at clinics, and there are always not enough coupons.

People are rude and kind of tired. However, I don't blame them.

Another significant disadvantage is the terrible “gas attack” coming from old, unkempt cars. Monstrous exhaust emissions make life difficult and do not contribute to improving the environment in the city.

There is little work, or rather, practically none. Locals try to go to work on a rotational basis in Moscow or the North. There are often traffic jams on the way out of the city. There is a problem with purchasing travel tickets.”

Positive reviews about the city

Alisa : “Having lived in Smolensk for almost 10 years, I am sincerely convinced that Orel is a calm, cozy city. Life here is very measured and stable.

Main advantages: the city is relatively clean, there are many historical places. The Oka River is very beautiful. And, in general, nature here is beautiful with a calm, poetic beauty.

The eagle may seem too calm to many. There are very few cafes and pizzerias in the city, and there is not much entertainment.”

Margarita : “It’s a nice, quiet city. Of course, young people are bored here. It's probably good here only for pensioners and children.

I live here recently, I came from Moscow precisely for the long-awaited silence. I was lucky to buy a home in a residential area. I like everything here.

The streets are cleaned, very clean, the city is quite green. There are many parks and squares. There is a theater where good plays are staged.

The climate is mild, very cold and very hot rarely.”

Further annual decline in the region's population . The rate of reduction will fluctuate around 7.4-7.6 thousand people. in year.

The main reason for the decline in the region's population is negative natural growth , which will increase annually from 5.2 million people in 2021 to 5.4 million people. in 2024. The second most important influencing factor is negative interregional growth , which is -3.9-4 thousand people per year. The region has an unfavorable environmental situation, the fourth most radiation-contaminated region of the Russian Federation as a result of the Chernobyl accident.

The limiting factor in the reduction in numbers will be the positive increase from international migration . The main influx into the region was observed from neighboring Ukraine, which will gradually decrease. At the same time, migration from Asian countries will remain at a high level.

The region ranks 4th in terms of the difference in the number of women and men . The gender gap will widen due to higher rates of male attrition from the region.

Against the backdrop of a decline in the region's population due to natural decline and high departure of the young population from the region, as well as due to the residence of an older population in the region (76th place in average age in the Russian Federation), there will be a drop in the working age population by 9 thousand people . , despite the increase in the retirement age.

It is predicted that the Oryol region than arrive. It is predicted that negative internal migration growth will be 3.8-4.0 thousand people. in year.

The main reason for retirement is the unfavorable environmental situation regarding radioactive contamination in the region.

86% of those leaving the region remain in the Central Federal District . 5.3% leave in the Northwestern Federal District, 3% in the Southern Federal District, followed by the Volga Federal District and Far Eastern Federal District - 1.6% and 1.2%, respectively.

The main regions of disposal are the nearby regions of the Central Federal District (Bryansk, Kursk regions, etc.), as well as regions with high income - Moscow and the Moscow region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. Retirement to regions with higher incomes will increase, with St. Petersburg and Moscow gradually losing ground in the number of departures to the Leningrad and Moscow regions, where income levels will gradually be comparable to cities, and the availability of “cheap” housing will be higher.

The Oryol region has the lowest level of population income among the regions of the Central Federal District, lower only in the Kostroma, Ivanovo and Vladimir regions, so the region is not very attractive for residents from other regions of the Central Federal District to come to it .

The main regions from which people arrive in the region: there is a high return migration flow from the outgoing regions - Moscow and the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Kursk, Bryansk and other regions. Both young people who have received higher education and middle-aged people who left to work in these regions are returning.

In the forecast, interregional migration will increase with regions having higher income. The higher the flow of departures from the Oryol region to the region of the Russian Federation (Moscow, Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Belgorod region, etc.), the higher the flow of arrivals from this region.
