New Urengoy what. New Urengoy. Ethnic composition and language
Connoisseurs of extreme tourism should go to Novy Urengoy. The gas-producing capital of Russia invites guests who are not afraid of permafrost. In the region where the northern lights blaze, amazing discoveries await tourists.
The first impression of travelers who have visited this wonderful city is the bright colors and original design of the facades of the houses. In the regions of the Far North there are no gray and boring buildings.
The local nature is even more amazing. The city is divided into two parts by picturesque rivers; thousands of kilometers of tundra stretch around New Urengoy.
At the beginning of summer, the vast expanses of the Tazovskaya tundra are covered with a blooming carpet. It is difficult to describe this fantastic beauty in words.
In the bright, well-maintained city, tourists can explore original monuments, visit museums, a wonderful temple, and 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 Builders Park. In summer, the city is decorated with lush greenery, dozens of flower beds and flower beds. In winter, a large snow city with ice sculptures, towers and slides grows on the central square.
New Urengoy was built literally from scratch, in the tundra, from scratch. Moreover, it even appeared quite by accident: half a century ago, geologists who were “stuck” in these places by coincidence drilled a well and discovered one of the world’s largest natural gas deposits! A little later, they began to build a village for gas workers, and over time it turned into a fairly large city. According to one version, “Urengoy” means “lost place.” Living conditions here are truly not resort conditions. 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 railway and highways, 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 has a 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". Organizing leisure time in harsh regions is a task of paramount importance.
At Gazodobytchik they hold concerts (there are several halls of different sizes), get healthy and keep yourself in good shape in the fitness center, gyms and sports sections. For the eye and soul - a winter garden.
4. Leningrad Avenue.
5. New Urengoy was built from scratch, so it is distinguished by its strict and linear layout. Today about 113 thousand people live here. For Russia, this is a rare occurrence when a “non-capital” city in a region surpasses the administrative center in all respects. For comparison: the population of the formally main city of the Yamalo-Nenets Okrug, Salekhard, does not reach 50 thousand people.
9. Shopping centers "White Nights" and "Prospect". There are quite a few large modern shopping and entertainment complexes in Novy Urengoy.
7. Railway station Novy Urengoy.
By rail, you can only get to Novy Urengoy through Tyumen (hereinafter Tobolsk, Surgut, Noyabrsk from the southwestern direction). They started to build a line to the west from Novy Urengoy to Salekhard, but they only brought it to Nadym. The station in Novy Urengoy is compact, there are two dozen tracks at the station, and only two platforms.
8. The street of the 26th Congress of the CPSU is the only one in the world with this name (however, in Chelyabinsk Kopeisk there is also a street 26 Party Congress).
9. Most of the residential apartment buildings in Novy Urengoy were erected during the Soviet years according to standard designs. The natural environment here is also quite bleak most of the year. The city, like many others in the North, is “saved” by the colorful painting of buildings.
10. Shopping center "Yamal".
11. Lake Molodezhnoe within the boundaries of New Urengoy - holidays of national sports are held here, summer snowmobile races are organized on the water, and fishing enthusiasts sit on the shores with a fishing rod - for the sake of relaxation. The 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 unmelted permafrost.
12. Sports center on Geological Prospectors Street. Owned by Gazprom Dobycha Yamburg LLC.
13. They say that New Urengoy appeared almost by accident - thanks to seismic geologists and... drought. In the mid-60s, due to the dried-up Pur River, geologists and their barges were stuck near these places. In order not to waste time, they decided to explore the local territory. And in June 1966, the third “super-giant” Urengoy gas field in the world was discovered. The settlement of gas workers was first called Yagelnoye, and in 1975 it was registered under the name Novy Urengoy. It received city status in June 1980 - the settlement grew along with the rate of gas production.
14. Central office of Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy LLC.
This is a wholly owned subsidiary of PJSC Gazprom. One of the two (along with Gazprom Dobycha Yamburg LLC) city-forming enterprises of New Urengoy.
Gazprom dobycha Urengoy is developing the Urengoy oil and gas condensate field. In 2008, the enterprise exceeded the milestone of 6 trillion cubic meters of gas: no other enterprise in the world received so much fuel from one field. The record is recorded in the Russian Book of Records.
15. The infrastructure of the world's largest gas production department, Urengoy, today includes 16 gas and gas condensate fields, more than 2 thousand kilometers of pipeline networks.
Novy Urengoy enterprises account for 74% of the gas produced in Russia.
16. The viaduct, a road overpass over the railway in the center of Novy Urengoy, took about 10 years to build. It was designed in the shape of a crescent because it was impossible to make a straight bridge due to the existing buildings.
17. Northern part of the city.
18. Memory Square.
One of the main attractions of New Urengoy - the Three Wars Memorial - was opened in September 2005 to mark the 30th anniversary of the city. The three-part stele symbolizes the feat of three generations of soldiers who fought in the Great Patriotic War, in Afghanistan and the North Caucasus. The eternal flame was lit from a torch at one of the gas fields near Novy Urengoy.
19. Street of Friendship of Peoples.
It has the unofficial name “Armenian Avenue”: during the construction of New Urengoy, tuff houses were erected here by builders from the Armenian SSR. They worked on a rotational basis, but many of them later remained to live in the north of Russia.
20. In Novy Urengoy they sometimes joke that there is no summer here: spring and autumn occur in June, July and August, and the rest of the time it is winter. Of course, this is an exaggeration. In summer it can be hot here (over +30 degrees). But still, the climate is, of course, harsh - the cold winter lasts more than 280 days a year.
21. Microdistrict Student in the northern part of the city.
22. Valeria Zakharenkova Street is named after the pioneering gas producer, Hero of Socialist Labor, laureate of the USSR State Prize.
23. Hotel and business center "Stroitel".
24. Administration of the city of Novy Urengoy.
25. Sports and fitness complex "Star".
26. Microdistrict "Tundrovy". Residential complex with new buildings in the city center.
27. Optimist microdistrict in the southern part of New Urengoy. On one side of the residential area there is a mosque, on the other - the Orthodox Epiphany Cathedral.
28. Shopping center "Solnechny".
The duration of the shortest daylight hours of the year in Novy Urengoy is 1 hour 7 minutes on the winter solstice.
29. The Evo-Yakha River, a tributary of the Pura, flows through Novy Urengoy. The banks are swampy.
30. Dachas near the Arctic Circle! DNT "Friendship".
31. The Gazprom Polar Circle stela is installed on the Novy Urengoy - Yamburg highway at the intersection point with the 66th parallel, the conventional line of the Arctic Circle. The memorial sign was installed in 2013 in honor of the 35th anniversary of Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy.

General information and history

It is the largest city in its subject, and in terms of population and industry it surpasses its capital, Salekhard.

In 1949, construction of the Igarka-Salekhard railway began. Mostly Gulag prisoners worked here. After Stalin's death, all work was curtailed. Despite the unrealization of this project, in the future it helped drillers and seismic surveyors to discover local deposits and promptly develop them. Because the specialists settled in the barracks of one of the former camps. In 1966, the Urengoy natural gas field was discovered.
In 1975, the village of Novy Urengoy was built and an airport appeared. Three years later, commercial exploitation of the deposit began. The village developed intensively, more and more gas was produced year after year, and eventually in 1980 it was given city status. Four years later, gas went to Western Europe via 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.
