Murmansk was founded in 1916 as a port city on the Barents Sea. Currently, Murmansk has a commercial and military port.

As in other cities of the Far North region, the climate of Murmansk is quite difficult for people. A short, inhospitable summer, bright but quickly passing autumn and spring, a long frosty winter.

Norilsk

Norilsk, a large industrial city in the Far North, is located in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. It begins its history in 1921, when giant deposits of ore and metals were discovered on its territory by the famous Russian explorer Urvantsev. Therefore, in 1935, construction began on a mining and metallurgical plant, which later grew into the world-famous industrial giant Norilsk Nickel. The plant and the city were built by Gulag prisoners.

The state of the environment in Norilsk is close to catastrophic. It is one of the ten dirtiest cities in the world.

The climate of Norilsk is very harsh. During the short summer, the air temperature can exceed 30 degrees Celsius, and during the long winter the temperature drops below −50 °C. The picture of the Norilsk winter is aggravated by the most severe frosty winds (more than 40 meters per second).

The population of Norilsk is 176.5 thousand people, and this figure is constantly decreasing due to the relocation of residents of the cities of the Far North to warmer and more favorable regions of Russia. But it is temporarily replenished by people who come to work.

There are enough places in the city that are considered the most northern. These are the Norilsk Industrial Institute, the Orthodox Temple of All Who Sorrow Joy, the Nurd-Kamal Mosque, the Norilsk Polar Drama Theater named after Vladimir Mayakovsky.

List of cities in the Far North of Russia

The following Russian cities belong to the Far North:

• the city of Severodvinsk in the Arkhangelsk region;
• the city of Kostomuksha in the Republic of Karelia;
• the cities of Vorkuta, Inta and Pechora in the Komi Republic;
• the cities of Igarka and Norilsk in the Krasnoyarsk Territory;
• the city of Okha in the Sakhalin region.

There are also a number of cities equated to regions of the Far North. The largest of them are Arkhangelsk, Petrozavodsk, Syktyvkar, Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

Vorkuta

In the north of the Komi Republic, beyond the Arctic Circle in the land Arctic zone, the easternmost European city is located - the city of Vorkuta. In Stalin's times, on the territory of Vorkuta there was Vorkutlag, in which prisoners were engaged in coal mining. In 1943, Vorkuta was given city status.

A considerable part of the Vorkuta buildings were planned by Leningrad architects. In Soviet times, Vorkuta was a prosperous city, but with the collapse of the Union, most of the mines were closed and people were forced to leave. Now the situation in the city has stabilized, but the period of prosperity is left behind. Visitors get the impression that time has stood still in Vorkuta since Soviet times. Currently, only a little over 58 thousand people live in the city.

On the eastern side the city is closed by the Ural Mountains. And in the northwest of the city there is tundra. Therefore, in addition to the Polar Night and severe frosts, city residents experience terrible winds (more than 30 meters per second). It is not safe to go out into the tundra in such a snowstorm.

The population of Vorkuta is multinational, which is explained by the origin of the city.

The ecology of Vorkuta is not in the best condition. There is a lack of oxygen in the air due to the lack of trees, but there is an abundance of black coal dust.

Monchegorsk

Another city in the Murmansk region, located beyond the Arctic Circle. Monchegorsk is a single-industry town whose life revolves around a mining and metallurgical plant.

A single-industry town is a settlement founded at a city-forming enterprise to provide production with labor resources.

When the plant was first built, it was assumed that these lands were rich in copper and nickel. However, the deposit turned out to be very small, so now the city-forming enterprise of Monchegorsk is processing raw materials from Norilsk.

Monchegorsk is located on the slope of a mountain range on the shores of lakes Imandra and Lumbolka. Photo by: Lihgra Adventure

Monchegorsk is very small - a little more than 40,000 people. The environmental situation here is unfavorable due to emissions from the plant. However, with the modernization of production, the situation is slowly but surely improving.

Monchegorsk in numbers 2022:

• Population - 40,675 people.
• The average salary is 42,272 rubles.
• The average cost of a one-room apartment is RUB 1,419,365.

What benefits are provided for residents of the Far North?

Those who work in the regions of the Far North and in territories equivalent to them can count on a significant increase in wages, which consists of a regional coefficient and a percentage increase. The size of the coefficient will be different for different regions (for example, in Chukotka it can reach 100% of the salary).

Also, employees of these territories are entitled to additional paid leave (from 16 to 24 days), compensation for expenses on vacation tickets . All these issues are regulated by RF Law N 4520-1.

Of course, in the article we will not list all the settlements of the Far North, but will focus only on a few large and popular cities in this area. Data on salaries was taken from the website “trud.com”, data on the cost of apartments - from “naydidom.com”.

Kostomuksha

Of the cities belonging to the Far North, Kostomuksha is one of the youngest, as it was founded in 1983. It is located near the Finnish border. Like many northern cities, Kostomuksha grew out of a workers’ village in which the builders of the Karelsky Okatysh mining and processing plant lived.

Located on the border of the northern and middle taiga, the city has a typical northern climate. It has cool summers and frosty winters with frequent weather changes.

The city's population is approaching 30 thousand people.

In the vicinity of Kostomuksha, tourists are attracted by the village of Voknavolok, where the famous epic “Kalevala” was created, as well as unique nature, lakes, and a nature reserve.
