Barnaul is the gas-polluted administrative center of the Altai Territory with a population of 629,681 people. Unofficially founded in the Stone Age, as evidenced by numerous archaeological finds. Officially, in 1730, on the site of modern Barnaul, the miner Akinfiy Demidov appeared with two hundred peasants to lay out the plant and, in fact, founded it.

Central square of Barnaul

Even during World War II, Barnaul began to transform from an agricultural town into a powerful industrial center of Siberia, and the post-war economic development only strengthened this status.

Industry has greatly influenced the deterioration of the ecology of the entire Altai Territory. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you mention Altai? Endless mountain ranges, the song “Oh, frost, frost” echoing in the crystal clear air, Zolotukhin smelling a flower...

One of the many shopping centers in Barnaul - City Center

But in reality everything is much sadder. And Zolotukhin did not smell flowers in Altai, and emissions from the heavy and chemical industries led to the birth of a smoky oasis, Barnaul, in the middle of the purest Siberian expanses. Where you can literally see what you are breathing, and where staying for a long time without a gas mask is just as not recommended for health as breathing deeply in Moscow on the street in the middle of rush hour.

Barnaul is a fairly developed city in terms of transport, shopping centers, catering places, and shopping and entertainment centers. By the way, there is even an airport 17 km from Barnaul.

Biysk was built by decree of Peter 1 as an important outpost in the defensive border line from Kuznetsk to Ust-Kamenogorsk; in 2009 it celebrated its tricentenary. This is the gateway city to the Altai Mountains. All mountain tourist routes start from here. The famous Chuysky tract, which connects Russia and Mongolia with a trade highway, originates in Biysk. Biysk is a kind of cultural capital of the Altai region, its science city.

Letniy Biysk

The city is home to four higher educational institutions and many colleges that provide vocational education. The city also has more than 15 libraries, a local history museum, a City Drama Theatre, and several clubs and leisure centers for young people. On the territory of Biysk there are more than 272 architectural monuments, 50 archaeological monuments and 11 natural monuments. And therefore it is proud to be a member of the Union of Historical Cities of Russia.

One of the main architectural attractions is the Biysk Drama Theater

The main types of transport in Biysk are buses, trams and minibuses, and there is also a cargo airport in the city.

Rubtsovsk is a small village founded by Mikhail Rubtsov in 1886, transformed into a station village in 1913, and received city status in 1927. The third largest city in the Altai Territory with a population of 145,834 people.

Just like in Barnaul, many industrial enterprises were evacuated to Rubtsovsk during the Great Patriotic War, gradually turning it into the industrial center of the south-west of the Altai Territory. True, with the collapse of the USSR, many enterprises simply went bankrupt, sending the city’s economy into severe decline.

But this does not prevent residents from developing and becoming spiritually enriched: the city has three universities, several vocational schools, and even two theaters and an art gallery.

Judging by the information from the city administration, residents are terribly fond of amateur performances, and therefore, against the backdrop of the general decline of the economy, there are many VIAs, creative groups, and original performers. In general, from Alpha to Omega, from playing the spoons to the harpsichord and organ.

The ecology of the city is severely disturbed due to waste emissions from enterprises, and the close proximity of the nuclear test sites of Semipalatinsk generally makes one seriously think about a long stay in this city without a Geiger counter.

Barnaul is the largest city in the region

It is located at the confluence of the Barnaulka River and the Ob. Distance to Moscow – 3000 km, to Novosibirsk – 230 km, to Gorno-Altaisk – 250 km. The following highways pass through the city:

The river port offers regular, pleasure and cruise routes along the Ob water area, including the Arctic Circle (to Salekhard, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug).

The historical part of the capital of the Altai Territory has distinctive architecture. Many projects were implemented by students of Quarenghi and Rossi, who gave St. Petersburg its extraordinary appearance. Among the most interesting ancient monuments and attractions are:

• Complex "Nagorny Park".

Barnaul is located on the left bank of the Ob River. 27% of the population of the entire region is concentrated here. In 2009, natural growth was observed for the first time in many years. More than 89% of the residents are Russian-speaking; other nationalities also live in Barnaul:

• Germans;
• Ukrainians;
• Tatars;
• Armenians;
• Belarusians.

Today, the main increase in population growth is due to incoming young people who arrive in Barnaul to study from small towns, villages, and villages. The city has institutes, academies, and universities.

Wages here are low, but prices for food and utilities are high. This is why some people work two jobs, while others leave their native Barnaul in search of higher salaries. Local residents work in factories and in trade. It doesn’t matter what the environmental situation is because of industry; some rivers are polluted.

There are many religious communities in this city; the highest percentage of Barnaul residents consider themselves Orthodox. There are Lutheran, Catholic, and Muslim communities here.

Biysk is the cultural center of the Altai Territory

The second largest city in the region. Located near the source of the Ob (the confluence of the Biya and Katun). It has the status of a science city. The southernmost railway station, closest to Gorno-Altaisk and the airport in Mayma. Historically, it is the starting point of the Chuisky tract, which connects the region with the Altai Republic and the border of Mongolia. Also, important highways to Novokuznetsk, to Aktash and Lake Teletskoe (“Soltonsky tract”), and to Belokurikha pass through Biysk.

Where to stay in Biysk for the night:

Sights and iconic places:

• MBU "Rodina" (exhibition of rocket and space technology, planetarium, observatory).

Biysk is a city of regional significance. An important scientific and industrial center of the entire Southern Siberia, as well as a cultural and educational center of the region, is located here. In terms of population, Biysk is in second place. It is located on the Biya River, in the southeast of the Altai Territory. More than 200,000 people live here, and the population is constantly growing. People come here from villages and towns, people consider Biysk calm and promising, get a job, and later stay. There are many people who go to work in large urban areas in Russia and abroad.

The economy is based on local enterprises that employ city residents. Marketers, engineers, and technologists are valued here, and the salaries of good specialists are decent. It is more difficult for women to get a job; they mostly work in the trade sector. Things are going well with education, there are several universities in Biysk, there are colleges, including medical and polytechnic, there are technical schools and gymnasiums.

The local ecology cannot be called good; this is a significant disadvantage for the local population. The timber mill located in Biysk and local residents pollute the rivers. Swimming in local waters is prohibited.

Rubtsovsk is a former mechanical engineering center

Among the Altai steppes, on the left bank of the Alei River stands Rubtsovsk. It used to be a major mechanical engineering center, before the collapse of the USSR. It is the administrative center of the Rubtsovsky district, which it is not part of. The name of the city was given in honor of the peasant Mikhail Rubtsov, who was a migrant. Until 1991, the local population grew, but then gradually began to decline, a problem that continues here to this day. Gradually, by 2009, natural population growth began to increase. The number of inhabitants is decreasing, but not as much as before.

The main reasons why people leave are the lack of jobs and low wages, although specialists are always welcome at enterprises and they can receive decent pay for good, qualified work. Local residents of Rubtsovsk work at local factories, industrial enterprises, and in trade. Since 2009, there has been an increase in migrants from villages and small towns. People come to get a job and study. Many remain permanently. The number of marriages has increased and there are fewer divorces, which is also very encouraging.

Novoaltaysk - a city of a better future

Novoaltaisk is located on the right bank of the Ob River. The city is divided into two banks by the Chesnokovka River. City status was assigned to Novoaltaysk only in 1942. Local residents love their hometown very much for its stunning nature, cozy and beautiful streets. In terms of living standards, Novoaltaysk even surpassed Barnaul and was recognized as the most comfortable place to live in the entire Altai Territory. More than 70,000 people live in Novoaltaysk in the period from 2006 to 2012. there was a population decline.

Today it is a city of young and talented. Local authorities pay a lot of attention to the development of youth and their future. Residents have museums, a cultural center, entertainment facilities, and children and students receive a good education. Everything is aimed at ensuring that people do not leave their native lands and stay to work here.

The economy of Novoaltaysk is developing due to its proximity to Barnaul. It is connected with this city by cultural, economic and industrial ties. The developed industrial sector and good geographical location make it an important railway junction in the Altai Territory.

The ecological situation is not very favorable, local rivers are polluted, engineering structures have been built on the banks, and rubbish heaps are not uncommon on the city outskirts. This negatively affects the quality of the local ecology.

Zarinsk is a cozy and calm city

Zarinsk is a beautiful city, there are interesting sights here, and a large city-forming enterprise. Formed in 1979 after the merger of the village of Zarinsky and the regional center of the village of Sorokin. The city stands on the Chumysh River, not far from Barnaul. The population has been steadily decreasing over the past 20 years, young people are leaving their native Zarinsk and moving to large cities to build a career.
