The railway connects Novocherkassk with Bataysk in the south and the city of Shakhty in the north of the Rostov region, and is also one of the main railway connections between the central part of the country and the North Caucasus.
Bataysk is located away from the M-4 Don federal highway. The Rostov Highway leads out to it from the city. Urban transport is represented by bus and tram services. Residents of the city face difficulties when moving from one area of the city to another, since they are located at a distance from each other.

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.
Climate and ecology
Novocherkassk is located in a temperate continental climate zone, with mild, short winters and long, hot summers. The average annual temperature is about 9 degrees Celsius. Winter in the city begins in December and ends at the end of February. In January, the coldest month of the year, the thermometer can drop to minus 20-25 degrees, but on average it stays around -8. Summer in Novocherkassk begins in May and lasts until the end of September. In August, the thermometer can rise to 40 degrees Celsius, but the average summer temperature is +23. At the same time, in summer the population of Novocherkassk, Rostov region, experiences a rather acute lack of moisture, especially in August. It receives approximately 60 mm of precipitation throughout the year, with the wettest months being January, February and June.
While the climatic conditions of Novocherkassk are generally favorable for living, the environmental situation leaves much to be desired. The city is experiencing big problems due to water pollution in the rivers, and hence there is a shortage of drinking water. The region's industry significantly pollutes the city's soil and air. The Novocherkassk administration is working to solve these problems, but has not yet achieved much success in this direction.
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.
Economy of the city
During Soviet times, Novocherkassk, whose population is closely connected with its economy, became a major industrial center. In 1936, an electric locomotive plant was built here, which today is an important enterprise for the economy of the region, employing almost 10 thousand people. In the 50s, a synthetic products plant was launched in the city. At its best, up to 3 thousand people worked here. Today the plant is almost stopped, only one workshop is functioning. At the same time, the electrode plant began operation, which today is one of the largest metallurgical enterprises in the region.
The stability and profitability of the city's economy is also ensured by an enterprise for the production of petrochemical equipment, several large food and construction companies, two clothing factories, and enterprises in the social and cultural spheres. There are two universities and about a dozen secondary specialized educational institutions in Novocherkassk. The volume of production per capita in the city is 67 thousand rubles.
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.
