a brief description of

The city of Muravlenko is located within the Salekhard Plain, 80 km from the railway. Khanymey station, 480 km southeast of Salekhard, 870 km northeast of Tyumen.

The territory of this settlement is 92 square meters. km. The first construction landing landed on the site of the future city back in October 1982. And in 1984, in connection with the development and maintenance of oil fields (Muravlenkovskoye, Sutorminskoye, Krainee, Sugmutskoye and others) and gas, the village of Muravlenkovsky was founded here, which was named in honor of Viktor Ivanovich Muravlenko . On August 6, 1990, the village was awarded the title of city.

City `s history

At first, there was a lot of controversy about the name of the future city. Some suggested calling it Nefteozersk, others - Trekhozerny, but the village was named after Viktor Ivanovich Muravlenko, a man under whose direct leadership and with whose participation Western Siberia turned into the largest oil-producing region of the country. Here, in the Tyumen North, when Viktor Ivanovich became the first head of Glavtyumenneftegaz, his talent as a major production organizer most fully manifested itself. In a short time, under very difficult conditions, he managed to create an active, friendly team capable of solving the grandiose tasks of accelerated industrial development of this rich region.

The city of Muravlenko owes its birth to the industrial development of the Muravlenkovo ​​group of oil fields, the first of which was discovered Sutorminskoye - one of the largest in Western Siberia. Exploration well R-31, drilled on August 30, 1975, with a fountain of waterless oil, heralded a new stage in the life of this land.

The site for the development of the then unnamed settlement was allocated by order of the Tyumen Regional Executive Committee in November 1980, and the general construction plan was approved in early April 1982. The year of foundation of the settlement is considered to be 1983.

Petroleum specialists and those who wanted to change their measured lifestyle to hectic shifts at drilling rigs and pumping stations, or even start a new life in life, began to come from many regions of the Soviet Union. By the beginning of 1984, 1,600 people already lived in the village. A dining room with 40 seats, a store, a medical outpatient clinic, an automatic telephone exchange with 200 numbers, and a television installation of the “Screen” type were built. In the same year, 33,834 sq. m. were put into operation. m of wooden housing, a bathhouse-laundry and a number of other facilities. Since 1987, the streets of the Muravlenkovsky village have names - Lenina, 70 Let Oktyabrya, Pionerskaya, Novoselov Lane and others. The village council of people's deputies decided to approve public transport routes: two buses began to operate on two routes. And the first intercity route - to neighboring Noyabrsk - was opened in April 1985.

In 1990, another significant event occurred in the history of Muravlenko: by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the village of Muravlenkovsky became a city of district subordination. The document was signed by the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR, Boris Yeltsin.

Specialists came here from all over the Soviet Union - oil workers, builders, transport workers, teachers, medical workers. They came with families, with children. However, over the last decade the population has been growing much more slowly: if at the beginning of 1992 there were 27.5 thousand people living in the city, then on January 1, 1995 - 34.2 thousand, and on January 1, 1999 - 36.9 thousand inhabitants. Currently, a little more than 37 thousand people permanently reside in the city, as well as over 4 thousand with a residence permit and shift workers.

People of more than 70 nationalities live in Muravlenko. The ethnic composition of the population is quite diverse. The largest national groups are Russians, Ukrainians, Tatars, Belarusians, and Bashkirs. The North is often compared to America - it united representatives of several dozen large and small nations. Various national groups have a great influence on the formation of urban communities.

Geographical position

The city of Muravlenko is located in the northern taiga subzone in the Purovsko-Sredneobsky forest region.

In general, the territory under consideration is characterized by a flat topography, which causes weak surface runoff and widespread surface swamping of the territory. Relief depressions are occupied by lakes, which, as a rule, have a round shape with an area of ​​up to 0.1-0.2 square meters. km, less often up to 1.0 sq. km. The depth of the lakes is 0.4-0.8 m.

Most of the territory within the city limits is occupied by natural landscapes of varying degrees of disturbance due to the development of deposits and the placement of urban infrastructure facilities.

During the short northern summer, berries ripen in the swamps: cloudberries, blueberries, and along the edges of the swamps - lingonberries.

The species diversity of the fauna is not rich and amounts to about 15 species. Terrestrial vertebrates are represented mainly by small mammals, amphibians and birds. Reptiles and large mammals are rare.

Within the city limits in the southern part of the city there is a system of shallow lakes with gentle banks. On the city side, the shores of the lakes and the pine forest area have been landscaped: a park landscape has been created, a pier has been built, and a beach has been organized. Thus, a green recreation area was formed on the southern outskirts of the urban area. In summer, the reservoirs are suitable for swimming. A young pine forest and the smooth surface of the water create a picturesque landscape, the air is saturated with oxygen and phytoncides.

The main types of recreation common among city residents in the summer are berry picking, fishing and hunting. Only a few days (weeks in a good summer) are bivouac-type rests, swimming, and sunbathing possible. The recreational potential of the territory in winter is limited by the harsh climate with prolonged severe frosts and winds, and in summer by the presence of a large number of blood-sucking insects.

3 reasons to come to the city

Firstly, in Muravlenko, as well as throughout the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, wages are quite high in relation to the more southern and western territories of Russia, so many shift workers and oil workers come to the city to improve their financial condition.

Secondly, you can come to Muravlenko for the sake of the colorful northern nature, if a person is ready to put up with long winters and severe frosts. And the environmental situation in the municipal area is quite favorable compared to large industrial cities. Muravlenko may seem attractive to those who like fishing, hunting, picking mushrooms and berries.

Finally, Muravlenko is one of the few cities in Yamal, which is located relatively close to the “mainland” and the largest city of the autonomous region - Noyabrsk. It is not that difficult to get to at any time of the year.

3 reasons to leave the city

One of the main reasons to leave this environmentally friendly city is the harsh climate. Severe frosts, long winters, polar nights, short-term cold summers and an abundance of blood-sucking insects during the warm period will not please anyone.

In addition, this town can hardly be called a youth town, since there are quite a few places for entertainment and varied recreation. You will hardly be able to see performances of famous musical groups and troupes of famous theaters in Muravlenko. Therefore, in general, leisure time in the city can be considered monotonous and lackluster.

And if a measured and quiet life is not for you and you want greater opportunities for self-development, then with great success you will be able to realize your ambitions in a larger city with a million population. The material was prepared on the basis of open public sources.
