The agglomeration is inhabited by over 325 thousand people. The density is 3169.84 people/km². Ethnic names are Taganrozhtsy, Taganrozhets, and Taganrozhenka. Taganrog is inhabited by representatives of approximately one hundred nations. The largest diasporas are Armenian, Jewish and Greek.
The “reset” of Taganrog began with the visit of the Speaker of the Federation Council
The starting point for creating the “road map” can be considered the visit of Federation Council Chairman Valentin Matvienko to the Rostov region in September last year. Then she visited the Sambek Heights memorial complex, as well as Taganrog itself, noting the high tourism potential of the city and region. The speaker promised that she would provide budget support to develop tourism there.
“Taganrog is Peter’s city, and she was the governor of St. Petersburg...”, Don Governor Vasily Golubev explained the motives of the federal official on the air of the regional TV channel Don24.
At the same time, according to Deputy Governor Alexander Scriabin, with the support of the head of the region, the city administration took the initiative to develop a set of measures for the development of Taganrog as a tourist center. In terms of tourism development, a comprehensive balneological study of the territory, classification of the beaches of the sea coast, and installation of tourist navigation signs were planned. The project also included the holding of events that have become the hallmark of the city: the “Defense of Taganrog 1855” and “Umbrella Morning” festivals, the Chekhov regatta “The Seagull”, the Chekhov Theater Festival. The creation of an exposition of the local history museum (Alferaki Palace) and activities to promote the city within the framework of the tourist brand of the “Free Don” region were also noted.
However, this was a list of far from the most financially intensive events. Much more large-scale work includes the reconstruction of roads, improvement of popular city locations, and development of a hotel complex. The organization of regular passenger transport by water transport between tourist centers not only in the region, but also in the south of Russia was also considered. All this should attract more tourists to the city. However, specific targets were never presented.
The only attempt to attract the public to such a large-scale project was that until February 14, a call for proposals from Taganrozh residents was announced. More than 300 messages were sent to the city administration's email address. Then all of them were analyzed and structured by the administration staff. As a result, until 2023, they planned activities “with a confirmed budget” to organize festivals, modernize the track and power grid, update the rolling stock of city electric transport, repair and restoration of facades and roofs of historical buildings, and modernize the water supply and sewerage system. In the longer term, it is planned to modernize the lines of outdoor lighting networks, reclaim the solid waste landfill, develop a set of rules and recommendations for the formation of a unified design code, as well as improvement and reconstruction of streets and beaches, water supply systems, and bank protection works.
In March, information appeared on the regional administration’s website about the creation of a working group for the integrated development of the city as a tourist center. It consists of 32 people, the vast majority of whom are regional and municipal officials. Only five from this list are representatives of public organizations and businesses. The group was led by Alexander Scriabin.

News from Taganrog, Rostov region
Just 60 years ago, the world's population was 3 billion people. And on July 11, 1987, the 5 billionth inhabitant of the planet was born. At the initiative of the UN, World Population Day is celebrated on this day. To date, the world's population has reached 7.8 billion people. How many people live in Russia? What is the national composition of the country's population, its structure by gender, age, and marital status? The All-Russian Population Census will provide answers to these and other questions. We’ll tell you when it will take place, why its new format will change the idea of statistics, and what “tricks” will be of interest to Russians.
In 2021, 50 countries with a total population of 3 billion people planned to conduct censuses. But the pandemic has disrupted the statisticians' plans. Due to the epidemiological situation, the authorities of a number of countries have announced changes in the timing of censuses.
In connection with general restrictive measures, Rosstat proposed to postpone the All-Russian Population Census previously planned for October 2021. On June 27 this year, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree postponing the census to April 2021. By moving the census by six months, disruption to the frequency of the main statistical event of the decade will be minimized. After all, only general population censuses conducted with clear frequency and according to a unified methodology make it possible to obtain comparative data and trace demographic trends.
So, the upcoming All-Russian population census will take place from April 1 to April 30, 2021 . It will affect all regions of the country, even the smallest and most remote settlements. Thus, the population census in hard-to-reach areas will be held from October 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
The future population census will be the first digital census in Russian history. Each census taker will receive a tablet with special software: an electronic census form, as well as technologies that ensure the security of data storage. The use of electronic devices will reduce the number of errors and speed up information processing. Enterprises in Moscow and the Ivanovo region have already started production of 360 thousand tablets for the census. The first batch of tablets will arrive to statisticians in September for the population census in hard-to-reach areas.
Thanks to new technologies, the census will turn from a routine event into an exciting online game. Now you don’t have to waste your time communicating with a census taker - you can fill out electronic census forms on the State Services portal yourself at any convenient time. The Internet census will become a real feature of the future census.
Preliminary results of the future All-Russian Population Census will be announced in October 2021. The final results will be officially published in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The All-Russian population census will be held from April 1 to April 30, 2021 using digital technologies. The main innovation of the upcoming census will be the ability for Russian residents to independently fill out an electronic census form on the State Services portal (Gosuslugi.ru). When going around residential premises, census takers will use tablets with special software. It will also be possible to register at census sites, including in the premises of multifunctional state and municipal service centers.
