Settlement history
Novocherkassk, whose population we are considering, has a unique history. It was immediately planned and built as a capital city. In 1805, for a number of economic, political and environmental reasons, it was decided to move the capital of the Don Cossacks from Cherkassk to a new location. The former capital was flooded every year, so first of all they looked for a new location where such disasters were impossible. The Emperor of the Russian Empire favorably accepted the request to move the capital and sent the famous city planner General Devolan to carry out the decision.
Novocherkassk was planned in the best traditions of European culture. Wide avenues, boulevards with green spaces, and spacious squares were laid out here. Despite the attractiveness of the new capital, the local population was in no hurry to move, and construction proceeded slowly. Therefore, in the first decades the city developed primarily as a location for military units. Many administrative and public buildings and government housing were erected here, but there was almost no private development. Only with the advent of industrial enterprises did the influx of residents gradually begin to the city, but this process was very slow. During the years of revolutionary events in the country, a center of white resistance was formed in Novocherkassk, which led to a significant increase in population.
In 1920, the city was finally taken by the Bolsheviks. During Soviet times, the settlement developed as a large regional, industrial and scientific center. Then the Cossack past of the city was carefully hushed up, and only in 1993 Novocherkassk was declared the capital of the World Cossacks.

Administrative division and population distribution
The small size of Novocherkassk is the reason that there is no official division into administrative units. But the population of Novocherkassk independently identified separate parts that have official and unofficial names. So, there are the districts of Center, Oktyabrsky, Molodezhny, Vostochny, Sotsgorodok, Cheryomushki, as well as small parts called Kosmos, Galinka, Khotunka, Novoselovka. Some time ago, the city was absorbed by the Tatarsky farm, which retained its name. The average population density of the city is 1329 people per 1 sq. km. But the city center is the most populated, and the Molodezhny, Sotsgorodok, and Oktyabrsky districts are the least favorable, and residents try to leave here.
Population dynamics
They began to count the population of Novocherkassk from its very foundation. In 1811, 6.7 thousand people lived here. In the first decades of the settlement's existence, the population growth was slow; noticeable growth began in the second half of the 19th century. So, in 1863, 18 thousand people lived here, and by the end of the century there were already 50 thousand. Before the revolution, there were about 70 thousand people in the city, and after it it decreased to 42. In Soviet times, the population dynamics was positive. By 1989, 188 thousand people lived in the city. But perestroika led to the beginning of a long period of decline in the number of residents. In some years the dynamics were positive, but the overall trend was negative. Today there are 170 thousand people in the city, and the forecasts are still disappointing.

Novocherkassk is the historical and current capital of the Don Cossacks
Novocherkassk managed to preserve its historical appearance. Historian V.D. Sukhorukov wrote about the capital of the Don Cossacks: “Straight wide streets and large squares make up the beauty of Novocherkassk.” Novocherkassk is a monument city. Over the past almost two centuries, it has combined a distinctive history, traditionally high culture and scientific and technical potential. With the revival of the Cossacks in the 1990s, Novocherkassk regained its status as the main city of the Cossacks and became the capital of the Great Don Army, as well as the Cossacks of Russia and Abroad.
The pride of the city is the huge triumphal arches (cultural heritage sites of federal significance), erected in honor of the participation of the Don Cossacks in the Patriotic War of 1812.
Two identical arches were built according to the design of the capital’s architect A.I. Ruska in 1817 during the life of the founder of the city, the famous Don Ataman, hero of the Patriotic War of 1812, Count Matvey Ivanovich Platov.
Among the major monuments of the city, one can note the monuments to the founder of the city, military ataman, Count M.I. Platov (1853), a monument to the legendary Cossack Ermak (1904), the hero of the Caucasian wars, General Baklanov (1911).

Foreign Cossack diasporas recognize Novocherkassk as the world capital of the Cossacks.

Employment
A large number of stable economic enterprises provide employment for a large number of residents. The Employment Center (Novocherkassk), which collects vacancies from all enterprises in the city, records one of the lowest unemployment rates in the region - only 0.5%. The main vacancies are associated with a shortage of blue-collar workers. But people with higher education, especially young professionals, do not always manage to find a suitable job. Women under 40 with higher education experience the greatest difficulties in finding a job.
Demographics
The Employment Center (Novocherkassk), which conducts sociological research on the city's demographic indicators, notes that the birth rate is gradually increasing, and the mortality rate is decreasing. But still the indicators are still disappointing. There is also a problem of migration outflow of the population from the city, which leads to negative dynamics in the number of city residents. On average, the number of city residents is reduced by 2 thousand people annually. Statistics show that the life expectancy of city residents is gradually increasing, but men are showing a less confident increase in the number of years lived. The ratio of city residents by gender in Novocherkassk generally corresponds to all-Russian trends; there is one woman for every man.
City infrastructure and quality of life
Small cities in Russia generally cannot compete with large, developed settlements, and Novocherkassk is not a happy exception. The city's population experiences a shortage of large cultural, healthcare, and trade facilities. But this problem is being successfully solved by nearby cities. But difficulties with buying housing and finding employment for young people lead to the fact that school and university graduates often leave the city. The infrastructure is poorly modernized, there are problems with roads. All this, of course, reduces the quality of life of people and their loyalty to the place.
