Story

New Urengoy, whose population lives in such difficult climatic conditions, appeared on the map in 1973. But before that, the village of Urengoy existed here, not far from which a gas field was discovered in 1966. The settlement existed since 1949, where the builders of the railway from Salekhard to Igarka lived. However, with the death of Stalin, this project died out, and for some time the houses stood uninhabited. Then geologists moved into the dilapidated barracks. And only with the beginning of the development of the field, the population begins to increase.

The first inhabitants of the new city were its builders, who set up a camp 100 km from the village of Urengoy and called it “New Urengoy”. First of all, the workers installed gas heating, and then began to erect the first multi-story buildings. Then a power plant and a bakery appeared, an airport was built within a year, and two years later a railway line reached from Surgut. In 1978, industrial gas production began. Large volumes of “blue fuel” extraction ensured the rapid development of Novy Urengoy.

Already in 1980, the settlement received official city status. In 1981, the city was awarded the title of All-Union Komsomol construction site; many young people from all over the country came here. In 1983, the Urengoy - Pomary - Uzhgorod gas pipeline was launched, which opened the way for Russian gas to Western Europe. In the 90s, private capital began to invest in the region, and this had a positive impact on the development of the city. In 2004, the city “absorbed” the villages of Korotchaevo and Limbayakha. Since that time, Novy Urengoy has become the longest city in the world - its length is more than 80 km.

Coat of arms

The bird has drooping wings; in front of it (at the end) are three silver rods. They are topped with golden lights. Two of them are curved and face in opposite directions. The middle one is lower and thinner than the side ones. It is allowed to reproduce the coat of arms with a status crown of the established pattern.

Algorithm for calculating the distance between cities

Route calculation is based on an algorithm for finding the shortest path in a weighted road graph (Dijkstra's algorithm). Distances are determined using exact satellite coordinates of roads and settlements. The calculation is the result of computer modeling, and models are not ideal, so when planning your trip route, do not forget to include a reserve.

Sex and age characteristics of the population

In Russia, on average, the number of men everywhere is inferior to the number of women. Novy Urengoy, whose population has specific characteristics, fits into this trend, but the average preponderance is approximately 1.02 (49.3% of men and 50.7% of women), while in the country the proportion of women to men is 1.2 -1.4.

In terms of age characteristics, the region also differs from the overall Russian situation. This is a city with a large number of minors, 23% of the population are children under 15 years of age. 19% of the population are residents over working age. Thus, the dependency ratio for each working-age resident of the city is 1.4, which is lower than in many regions of the country.

Administrative division

The official division of the city was carried out according to a simple geographical principle, the city includes such areas as the Northern Residential, Northern Industrial Zone, Southern Residential, Western Industrial Zone and Eastern Industrial Zone. The population of Novy Urengoy conventionally divides the city into two parts: the “south” and the “north”. The districts are distinguished by such components as Student, Optimists, Creators, Zvezdny, Olympic, Raduzhny, Nadezhda, Druzhba, Yagelny microdistricts. In total, today there are 32 microdistricts in the city, as well as 5 villages.

Weather

Despite the fact that “on paper” the city is located in an area of temperate continental climate, in fact it is located in its northernmost part, bordering on a subarctic climate. With all the ensuing weather consequences. Winter is very long and cold (280-290 days a year), the most severe frosts occur in January-February. But at this time at night, flashes of the northern lights often shine in the sky. Well, in the summer (it lasts only 35 days), the main climatic feature is considered to be the white nights (from June to August).

Employment

The unemployment situation is monitored by the Novy Urengoy Employment Center. The organization has been recording an extremely low unemployment rate for many years in a row; it is 0.5-0.6%, with the national average being 4.5%. The Employment Center (Novy Urengoy) notes that the need for workers in the city is never fully satisfied; there are always at least 15 thousand vacancies. It is difficult for people with rare specialties to find work, for example, winemakers, and women over 35 years of age with one or two higher educations also experience some difficulty in finding work in their specialty.

Ethnic composition and language

Novy Urengoy is a multinational city. Due to the fact that the settlement was formed by newcomers from different parts of the country, a slightly different ethnic situation developed here than in many regions of Russia. Thus, the population of Novy Urengoy who consider themselves Russian is 64%. Almost 11% called themselves Ukrainians during the census. 5% of the total population are Tatars, 2.6% are Nogais, 2% each are Kumyks and Azerbaijanis, 1.7% are Bashkirs. The remaining ethnic groups account for less than 1% each. Despite such ethnic diversity, the main, if not the only, language of communication in the region is Russian.

When is distance calculation useful?

Free calculation of distances between cities shows the exact distance between cities and calculates the shortest route with fuel consumption. It may be required in the following cases:

The distance calculation service helps plan a route for a road traveler, for example, for a summer holiday with his family or when planning a business trip by car. Knowing the gasoline consumption and the average price per liter of fuel, it is not difficult to calculate the obligatory financial costs of the trip.
For a truck driver, calculating the distance between cities allows you to plot a route on the map when preparing for a long trip.
The distance calculator is useful for the shipper to determine the mileage and, in accordance with the tariffs of the transport company, estimate the cost of cargo transportation.
