General information about Primorsky Krai

Distinctive features .
The Primorsky Territory has a number of features that make it worth coming here at least once in your life. Maybe not forever, maybe for a week, for a month. But it’s definitely worth getting to know this unique region and its beauties. The first feature is nature. On one side is the taiga, where real wild tigers and bears, deer and squirrels live. On the other side is the blue sea, rich in its gifts.

And all this can be seen in Primorye at the same time! The generous Far Eastern nature offers simple but pleasant entertainment - picking mushrooms, berries and nuts in the local forests. And for seafood lovers, a real paradise awaits here: huge Far Eastern crabs, sea cucumbers, mussels, scallops, shrimp, sea urchins, octopuses, seaweed... Even in Soviet times, when there was a general shortage of food, residents of Vladivostok and Primorye could catch any kind of food for dinner seafood delicacies, whatever they want.

The second feature is the port city of Vladivostok and its surroundings, where the naval base of the Russian Navy is located. Glorious military traditions are loved and honored here. This is one of the few Russian cities where on the last Sunday of August a naval parade takes place, or it would be more correct to call it a naval show. If you walk around Vladivostok, you will find many monuments related to the fleet and its history.

The third feature is the unique geographical location, which has not only disadvantages, but also its advantages. Despite the fact that there are 9,177 km from Vladivostok to Moscow, only 205 km separates Vladivostok from the border with China. This is very convenient for both tourism and business. It’s also a stone’s throw from here to Japan, and the countries of Southeast Asia are not that far away, where getting from Primorye is much faster than from the Russian capital. By the way, even if you don’t take into account the time gain, tours from Vladivostok to Thailand are 20-25% cheaper than from Moscow.

Geographical location . Primorsky Krai is located on the southeastern tip of Russia, in the southern part of the Far Eastern Federal District. From the south and east, its lands are washed by the Sea of ​​Japan. In the north it borders with the Khabarovsk Territory, in the west with the People's Republic of China. The relief is mountainous, a significant part of the territory is occupied by the Sikhote-Alin ridge.

Pines and sea - a typical seaside landscape

There are beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls in the mountains. The largest lake is Khanka, on the border with China. The main river of Primorye is the Ussuri.

The unique nature of the Primorsky Territory with rare flora and fauna requires protection from poachers and other vandals. Now in Primorye there are 6 nature reserves, 3 national parks and one nature park. Here they are trying to preserve such endangered species as the Amur tiger and the Far Eastern leopard.

The Amur tiger is the master of the taiga

Population. Even during the times of the Russian Empire, Primorye was settled voluntarily and forcibly. Cossacks were sent here to protect our borders, peasants instead of serving, convicts to serve their sentences. Also, free land was allocated to all willing settlers. Under the Union, the Primorsky Territory began to be populated even faster. Up until 1989, there was a steady increase in both urban and rural populations. And then Primorye began to have serious economic problems, and the population began to decrease at the same rate as it had previously grown. Currently, 1,947,263 people live in the Primorsky Territory, which approximately corresponds to the level of 1980.

Emerald Valley - a man-made landscape paradise near Ussuriysk

The majority of Russians live in the Primorsky Territory (85.66%). In second place are Ukrainians (2.55%), in third are Koreans (0.96%). In fact, much more Ukrainians live here, and they began to come here en masse at the end of the 19th century, when regular sea communications were established between Odessa and Vladivostok. And now there are different realities: in Primorye there are many visitors from Central Asia and the Caucasus who, it seems, have no intention of returning home. More recently, another headache has been added: illegal immigrants from China, Vietnam and other Asian countries are entering Vladivostok by all possible means.

Crime . 11th place in the criminal ranking of regions is a very sad indicator, indicating that the crime level in Primorye is quite high. Despite the fact that Primorye is located in the south of the country, the population here is no less harsh than in the Russian North. Wild forests, the Ussuri taiga, remoteness from Moscow - all this leaves an imprint on local morals. An important factor in the high crime rate is the difficult economic situation in Primorye. In addition, Vladivostok also has its own specifics - a seaport, cargo transshipment, customs - fertile ground for the development of organized crime.

The unemployment rate in Primorye is very high at 6.87%. But local residents have a way to escape. For example, a common business for locals is driving cheap used Japanese cars to the western regions of Russia, where they charge completely different prices for them. The state is looking for different ways to increase business activity in the region, but so far the situation is far from ideal.

If we talk about official income, the average salary in Primorye is 27,365 rubles. The highest salaries are in the production of petroleum products (51.6 thousand rubles), in the financial sector (50.6 thousand rubles), in science (38 thousand rubles) and transport (35 thousand rubles).

Property value. The average cost of a one-room apartment on the secondary market is from 1.7 million rubles. New one-room apartments are sold for 2.5 million rubles and more. The price for two-room apartments is already much higher, and starts somewhere from 2.5 million rubles for old housing stock and 3.5 million rubles for new buildings.

Climate. The Primorsky Territory has its own Far Eastern weather, and it is unlikely to seem familiar to a resident of the European plains. This climate is classified as moderate monsoon. In summer, there are typhoons coming from the south, bringing fog, heavy rain and floods. Of course, farming in such conditions is hellish work. In the hottest summer months, the average temperature is +17…+26°C. In winter, the opposite is true. Cold northern winds bring dry frosty air. Although the average temperature in January is −15°C, the sea subjectively feels even colder. And in the depths of the continent, even the thermometer will clearly show −20° and below. As already mentioned, the region is very rainy and the average annual precipitation is 600-900 mm per year. True, most of them fall in the warm season.
