General information and history

Novy Urengoy is located in the center of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug on the Tamchara-Yakha, Evo-Yakha and Sede-Yakha rivers. Is the most major city in its subject, and in terms of population and industry surpasses its capital, Salekhard. Novy Urengoy can also be called the "gas producing capital of the Russian Federation."

In 1949, the construction of the Igarka - Salekhard railway began. Mostly Gulag prisoners worked here. After Stalin's death, all work was curtailed. Despite the failure of this project, in the future it helped the drillers and seismic explorers to discover the local deposits and quickly develop them. Because the specialists settled in the barracks of one of the former camps. In 1966, the Urengoy field was discovered natural gas.

In 1975, the village of Novy Urengoy was built and an airport appeared. Three years later, the industrial exploitation of the deposit began. The settlement developed intensively, more and more gas was produced every year, and as a result, in 1980, it was given city status. Four years later, the gas went to Western Europe through the Urengoy - Pomary - Uzhgorod gas pipeline.

At the end of 2012, the city actually became closed, due to the fact that migrants from other regions of the Russian Federation and neighboring countries carried out terrorist activities in Novy Urengoy and committed many crimes.

Novy Urengoy was built literally from scratch, in the tundra, from scratch. Moreover, it even appeared quite by accident: half a century ago, geologists “stuck” in these places by coincidence drilled a well and discovered one of the world's largest natural gas fields! A little later, they began to build a settlement for gas workers, over time it turned into a rather Big city. According to one version, "Urengoy" means "dead place". Living conditions here are really not resort. But it's worth it: more than 70% of all Russian gas is produced in the Novy Urengoy region.

1. The city of Novy Urengoy is located in the permafrost zone in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, surrounded by tundra, swamps and hundreds of tiny lakes.

2. The local rivers Tomcharu-Yakha and Sede-Yakha, as well as the railway and motorways divide the city into Northern and Southern residential parts - these are their official names. The northern one is larger in size; The southern one is older, it contains the historical center - if, of course, such a concept is applicable to a city that is a little over 40 years old.

3. Cultural and sports complex "Gazodobytchik". The organization of leisure in harsh regions is a task of paramount importance.

Concerts are held in the Gazodobytchik (there are several halls at once different sizes), recover and keep themselves in good shape in the fitness center, gyms and sports sections. For the eye and soul - a winter garden.

4. Leningrad Avenue.

5. Novy Urengoy was built from scratch, so it is distinguished by the rigor and linearity of the layout. Today, about 113 thousand people live here. For Russia, this is an infrequent occurrence when a "non-capital" city of the region surpasses the administrative center in all respects. For comparison: the population of the formally main city of the Yamalo-Nenets district of Salekhard does not even reach 50 thousand people.

11. Molodyozhnoye Lake within the boundaries of Novy Urengoy - holidays of national sports are held here, summer snowmobile races on the water are arranged, and fishing enthusiasts sit on the banks with a fishing rod - for the sake of relaxation. A small lake was formed in the same way as most similar ones in these places: the depression left by the glacier was filled with its own water. Moreover, the bottom of such lakes is usually not melted permafrost.

12. Sports center on Geologists Street. Owned by OOO Gazprom dobycha Yamburg.

13. They say that Novy Urengoy appeared almost by accident - thanks to seismic geologists and ... drought. In the mid-60s, geologists got stuck with their barges near these places because of the dry river Pur. In order not to waste time in vain, they decided to explore the local territory. And in June 1966, the world's third largest "supergiant" Urengoy gas field was discovered. The settlement of gas workers was first called Yagelnoye, and in 1975 it was registered under the name Novy Urengoy. It received the status of a city in June 1980 - the settlement grew along with the pace of gas production.

The enterprises of Novy Urengoy account for 74% of the gas produced in Russia.

16. The viaduct - an automobile overpass over the railway in the center of Novy Urengoy was built for about 10 years. It was designed in the form of a crescent, because it was impossible to make a direct bridge due to the existing development.

The eternal flame was lit from a torch at one of the gas fields near Novy Urengoy.

19. Street of Friendship of Peoples.

The first impression of travelers who have visited this wonderful city is bright colors And original design facades of houses. In the districts Far North no gray and boring buildings.

Even more admire the local nature. The city is divided into two parts by picturesque rivers. Thousands of kilometers of tundra stretch around Novy Urengoy.

At the beginning of summer, the vast expanses of the Taz tundra are covered with a flowering carpet. It is difficult to describe in words this fantastic beauty.

In a bright, well-maintained city, tourists can see original monuments, visit museums, a wonderful temple, take pictures against the backdrop of original sculptural compositions. On the roof of the Helicopter shopping center, a real winged car attracts attention.

You can relax in the square of Builders. In summer, the city is decorated with lush greenery, dozens of flower beds and flower beds. In winter central square a big snow city grows up with ice sculptures, towers and slides.

Visiting various industrial facilities in different regions of our country, you try to see the city where a particular plant or, as in this case, a state district power station is located. So, Novy Urengoy, the unofficial "gas capital" of Russia with a population of just over 110,000 inhabitants. The city was founded in the mid-70s of the last century, so there are no special sights in it. The city, let's say, is not poor, so it has modern buildings, many shopping centers, decent restaurants.

1. I'll start from afar. My room in one of the best hotels in the city "Yamal". All rooms are ordinary, but I was lucky :). When I went into it, I was a little freaked out. What was the designer smoking?

2. There is a school near the hotel, so cigarettes are not sold in the nearest supermarkets. Paradox. There is booze in the shops, but there are no cigarettes :). So I bought it some distance from where I live. Small shops here are business magicians. Probably, the name came to replace the cooperative shops.

4. Palace of Culture October built in 1998. The main site of the city. Concert, buffet, dance halls, literary and theater studio, cozy foyer.

5. Shopping center "Prospekt" on Leningradsky Prospekt. This is the main street of the city along which I walked.

6. Monument to Vladimir Vysotsky, a joint author's work of specialists from Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy and the art plant LLC Bronze and Stone ..

7. The font is not very good, but take a closer look: ... in memory of the author and performer of the songs, under which the development of the Urengoy oil and gas condensate field was underway and Novy Urengoy was built.

8. Nearby is another shopping center. Pay attention to the beer advertisement, you can see it better in the first photo. Found an error?

9. The school, which, judging by the banner, is supported by the rival company Rosneft.

10. Office "Gazprom - dobycha" next to the station, where we went on the advice of the locals to buy smoked fish.

11. Passes through the city Railway Salekhard - Igarka. The movement of freight trains is quite intensive, but the passenger traffic is 5 trains a day, there are electric trains. True, we never bought the fish, because they were sent by the saleswoman of the "Gifts of Yamal" storehouse. And all they asked was if she had fresh fish for sale. :). I met this in the regions, but it’s not so veiled to send potential buyers, this is Kick-Ass! Here it is the first impression of the inhabitants of Novy Urengoy. By the way, she was also told that no one would lift their ass out of their chair for 5,000 rubles. They snickered, however, and everyone says that Moscow has become insolent. Oh well! I had to go to South Market to the other end of the city.

13. Family Strengthening Store, smiled. Tell me how a rubber penis or a vagina can strengthen this very family?)))

14. And this is the central restaurant in the city. Decently, tasty, but the price tag is not humane. Dinner consisting of a piece of Orenburg beef, two beers and a cherry strudel cost 3,000 rubles. :(. By the way, other institutions of the city are not much cheaper. That's what the first place in Russia means in terms of income of the population, it turns out in terms of expenses too :).

15. Epiphany Cathedral. On October 13, 2007, Archbishop Demetrius consecrated the site for the construction of a new church and church complex. On October 15, 2015, the great consecration of the temple took place His Holiness Patriarch Moscow and All Rus' Kirill.

16. Here is the South Market.

17. Bought fish, and were not even sent. This is what private enterprise means.

18. Sockets are located everywhere in the city in parking lots. From many wires stretch to the apartments. Do you think these are electric cars?

19. Nifiga, there are electric heating pads in the cars to warm up the car engines in the cold. Harsh north.

20. That's all, the short northern day ends, it's time to have lunch and go to the airport. Reindeer soup, pork and compote - 960 rubles. Alas:(.

21. But the airport is located very close to the city. 15 minutes on Yandex.taxi and only 260 rubles, although the bombers at the airport announce 500 or more. Here he is, Novy Urengoy.

All the most operational can be viewed in my
