Korotchaevo
New Urengoy is truly new. This name was registered only in 1975, and then it was still a small village. It’s just that Urengoy is a little older—ten years. This is a village located to the east, not far from Korotchaevo - an important industrial and transport point, where there is a very busy crossing over the Pur River. In the summer, when there is no winter road, this is the most important link in the Yamal transport system. The pontoon bridge is always filled with cars and people - an endless stream, going alternately to one side and then to the other. It is interesting that Korotchaevo is formally a microdistrict of Novy Urengoy, although it is located 70 kilometers from the city (this is if you count in a straight line), which says a lot about the scale of Yamal and the distances that people travel.
Tazovsky is located 200 kilometers north of Urengoy. But it seems much further. You need to drive there all day: the road gets lost, makes a big detour, and it’s impossible to accelerate on it: fogs and sudden changes in the height of the roadway interfere, on which a careless driver can take off and make a hard landing. This is the peculiarity of the polar routes - the biggest problem here is not the potholes. In such places, roads are built with a large margin of safety - so that under normal conditions they would last 10 or 20 years without repair. But the road inevitably moves in waves due to the constantly unsettled permafrost.
Special report Tazovsky village: at the edge of the Earth
Along the way, you manage to see the gradual transformation of the forest-tundra into tundra: when the trees practically disappear, but more and more often you see the shiny surface of the water as you approach the Tazovskaya Bay - a bay of the Kara Sea, which is surrounded by countless lakes accumulated in the deltas of the Taz and Pur rivers. If you drive at night, the lights of the fields are constantly flashing either to the right or to the left of the road - searchlights and torches of associated gas. And during the day you can see that the Zapolyarye-Purpe pipeline runs along the road - the only main pipeline in Russia, most sections of which are laid above ground. Otherwise, the permafrost will be distorted and pushed out of the ground. They say that when the pipeline was being built and the fields were being developed, cars walked here in a continuous line. At night there was no need to worry about visibility: the road was two stripes of light moving in opposite directions. Nowadays you can drive for an hour at night and not meet anyone. Only rare lights from the deposits indicate that there are still other people somewhere in the world.
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.

Coat of arms
The coat of arms of New Urengoy is presented in the form of an azure French shield. It depicts a silver polar owl, symbolizing an inhabitant of the northern regions. 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.
The artistic composition was approved by the decision of the City Duma of the municipal formation of Novy Urengoy No. 310 dated August 28, 2008. Included in the State Heraldic Register of the Russian Federation under No. 174.

A small branch has turned into a full-fledged art and local history museum. The vast majority of works are by local artists.

Every year the museum participates in the all-Russian event “Night of the Arts”.
