Dudinka

(Russian: Dudinka, Nenets: Tut'yn) is a city on the Yenisei River and the administrative center of the Taimyr Dolgano-Nenets Okrug in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. Previously, it was the administrative center of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug, which was annexed to the Krasnoyarsk Territory on January 1, 2007. Population: 22,175 (2010 census); [2] 25,132 (2002 census); [7] 32,325 (1989 census).[8]

Economics [edit]

Dudinka processes and sends cargo via the Norilsk Railway to the Norilsk Mining and Metallurgical Combine, and also ships non-ferrous metals, coal and ore. In 1969, the Messoyakha -Dudinka-Norilsk natural gas pipeline was laid.

Port of Dudinka

Dudinka is a port in the lower reaches of the Yenisei, accessible to sea vessels. The city is served by Dudinka Airport.

Infrastructure[edit]

Chaika mast in Dudinka

Near Dudinka there is a 462-meter (1,516 ft) high radio mast that was formerly used for the "Chaika" radio navigation system. This is a grounded mast with a rhombic lattice antenna. [10]

Bright, expensive, large-scale

If you don’t have friends who can shelter you, don’t despair - there are three hotels in Dudinka. For 2500 rubles (average price per day) do not expect luxury. This is a ticket back to the past, the situation there is a natural Soviet of the 90s (and if you’re unlucky, then even more ancient mansions). And yes, for an hour of using wi-fi they will charge you around 300 rubles.

You can also rent an apartment daily. Even for a thousand and a half. But get ready that it will be in unknown condition and, perhaps, even without a kitchen. And if such living conditions begin to make you depressed, think that, for example, travelers Fridtjof Nansen, Khariton Laptev and Nikolai Urvantsev once lived in Dudinka in much worse conditions. And without the Internet.

If you are lucky enough to come to Dudinka in the summer and you are not afraid of midges, then you can just take a walk around the city. Moreover, the houses, which are intricately “stuck” at different heights, were painted in cheerful rainbow colors. The facades had been colored before, but during my visit I saw buildings of such dirty shades that the whole city looked like one huge, shabby mental hospital.

The port occupies a special place. This is Dudinka’s “breadwinner”. After all, for his sake, in fact, the city was founded. You can't help but go to the port! You can sit comfortably on a bench on the shore and watch the work in full swing here. Tower cranes load containers onto huge orange icebreakers - the scale of the action immediately amazes the inexperienced viewer. And all this happens to the cry of polar gulls. And if you're lucky, you'll be able to see military vessels going out for exercises. Great, isn't it?

And walk along the summer Dudinka at night - this, of course, is not St. Petersburg, baby, but it is light, like in the Northern capital. Polar day.

Climate[edit]

Despite the fact that Dudinka is located more than one and a half degrees above the Arctic Circle, it has a subarctic climate ( Köppen climate classification Dfc

) with short mild summers and severely cold winters. Precipitation is moderate; falls mostly as rain in the summer and mostly as snow the rest of the year.

Real estate Dudinki

Dudinka's housing stock consists mainly of 5- and 9-story comfortable houses built on stilts driven into permafrost. There are almost no new houses in the city, due to the fact that many pensioners are taking advantage of the resettlement program in the southern cities of Russia, and some young people are not comfortable living in the harsh climate, and they move to other cities on their own. But this has its advantages (we'll talk about them later).

A one-room apartment can be purchased for 800 thousand rubles, a two-room apartment for about 1.2 million rubles, and a large, three-room apartment for about 1.5 million.

Utility bills in winter are exorbitant, up to 7 thousand rubles per month for a 3-room apartment. Consequently, it is easier for new residents to buy an apartment outright rather than rent. In Dudinka you can rent a one-room apartment for about 15,000 rubles per month, but some employers offer people from other cities compensation for rent during the first 3 years of living in Dudinka.

Sports and entertainment[edit]

The Taimyr Ice Arena is a newly built facility for hockey, figure skating and curling in Dudinka. This is the northernmost ice arena in the world and is suitable for hosting high-level international events. The arena's capacity is 350 spectators. [13] The 2017 CCT Arctic Cup took place in the city of Dudinka at the Taimyr Ice Arena on May 18–22, 2022. It was the first international curling tournament among women's teams in the Arctic Circle. The event took place with the participation of 8 strongest teams from the northern countries located on the 69th parallel. Participating teams: Russian team, Krasnoyarsk team, Canadian team, USA team, Finnish team. The Swiss team was given a wild card by the Organizing Committee. [14]Since 2022, Dudinka has become the venue for the international Arctic Curling Cup tournament every year. The test event of this tournament was the TAYMYR CURLING CUP 2016. On May 26–30, 2016, the first ever curling tournament among men's teams in the Arctic Circle was held in Dudinka. The tournament was held as a test event for the Arctic Curling Cup. . Six of the strongest men's teams in Russia took part in the tournament. In 2022, Dudinka held the final round of the international Arctic Curling Cup. The 10 strongest teams competed in the double mix, 3 of which were Russian. Maria Komarova and Daniil Goryachov received bronze medals at this tournament.
