New Urengoy is a city in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Tyumen region, The largest city district, one of the few Russian regional cities that surpass the administrative center of its subject of the federation (Salekhard) both in terms of population and industrial potential. The city is located on the banks of the Evo-Yakha River, a tributary of the Pur. The rivers Tamchara-Yakha and Sede-Yakha flow through the city and divide it into two parts - Northern and Southern.

Population 119.6 thousand people (2010). As the production center of the largest gas-bearing region, Novy Urengoy is the unofficial "gas capital" of Russia.

History

In 1949, by order of Stalin, the construction of a transpolar tundra began in the polar tundra. railway Salekhard - Igarka. The road was built by tens of thousands of people, who, for the most part, were prisoners of the Gulag. At the former trading post Urengoy, the builders planned to stay for a long time. However, after the death of Stalin, the work was curtailed, the road to the beginning of the 60s turned out to be useless and was called "dead".

The 501st and 503rd construction sites were not mentioned anywhere for a long time, but the work of the builders still turned out to be not in vain, it helped seismic prospectors and drillers to discover the Urengoy fields, helped to equip them at a faster pace. In January 1966, the seismic station V. Tsybenko, which was the pioneer of the Urengoy structure, occupied the barracks of the abandoned prison camp of the 503rd construction site.

On June 6, 1966, the team of foreman V. Polupanov drilled the first exploratory well in Urengoy, and a new unique natural gas field, Urengoyskoye, appeared on the geological map of the country.

On September 22, 1973, on the site of the future city, a symbolic peg with a sign "Novy Urengoy" was hammered in, and on December 23, a convoy arrived to build the city. On June 19, 1975, drilling of the first production well was completed.

The settlement developed rapidly, gas production volumes grew, and on September 4, 1980, Novy Urengoy was given the status of a city of district significance. In 1983, the construction of the Urengoy - Pomary - Uzhgorod gas pipeline was completed, and since 1984 gas from Urengoy began to flow to Western Europe.

On November 5, 1984, the working settlement of Korotchaevo was transferred to the administrative subordination of the City Council, on May 10, 1988 - the working settlement of Limbyakha.

The municipal formation of the city of Novy Urengoy was formed in accordance with the Law of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug dated January 05, 1996 No. 34 "On municipalities Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

According to the law of the YaNAO No. 107-ZAO dated December 16, 2004, the villages of Korotchaevo and Limbyakha ceased to exist as administrative-territorial units and became part of the city of Novy Urengoy, as a result of which the city turned out to be one of the longest in the world - more than 80 km.

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, a settlement began to be built for gas workers, over time it turned into a fairly large 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.

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.

9. Shopping centers "White Nights" and "Prospect". There are quite a lot of large modern shopping and entertainment complexes in Novy Urengoy.

The station in Novy Urengoy is compact, there are two dozen tracks at the station, and there are only two platforms.

8. The street of the 26th Congress of the CPSU is the only one in the world with such a name (although in Chelyabinsk Kopeysk there is also street 26 of the Party Congress).

9. Most residential multi-apartment buildings in Novy Urengoy were built in the Soviet years according to standard designs. natural environment most years here are also rather dull. The city, like many others in the North, is "rescued" by the multi-colored coloring of buildings.

10. Shopping center "Yamal".

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.

14. Central office of OOO Gazprom dobycha Urengoy.

15. The infrastructure of the world's largest Urengoy gas production department today includes 16 gas and gas condensate fields, more than 2 thousand kilometers of pipeline networks.

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.

It has the unofficial name "Armenian Avenue": during the construction of Novy Urengoy, tufa houses were erected here by builders from the Armenian SSR. They worked on a rotational basis, but many of them then remained to live in the north of Russia.

Geographical location and history of Novy Urengoy

The city of Novy Urengoy is the unofficial gas capital of Russia, the city of gas workers, builders, unforgettable white nights and simply beloved Nur, so affectionately nicknamed by the locals. A city where white nights reign in summer, and gray snows reign in winter ...

It is not surprising that throughout the summer it is as bright at night as it is during the day. After all, Novy Urengoy is located in the northern part Western Siberia, just 60 km south of the Arctic Circle line on the coast of the Evoyakha River, a tributary of the Pur. And it seems that the very existence of Urengoy is also inextricably linked with rivers - two small rivers flow through the city - Tamchara-Yakha and Sede-Yakha, dividing its territory into two large regions - Northern and Southern.

And the name of the city "Urengoy" is due to a combination of the Khanty and Nenets words "Ure" and "Ngo", meaning "old woman" and "island" or an island in the place of the old riverbed.

Some sources interpret the translation of the word "Urengoy" as "bald hill" or "hill covered with yellow grass", while earlier the name of the city was translated as "dead place", so nicknamed by the prisoners of the Gulag. Actually, it was from the Gulag that the history of the city began back in 1949, when, near Novy Urengoy, its prisoners, on the orders of Stalin, began to build the Salekhard-Igarka railway, which, after his death, was recognized as economically inexpedient, the work was curtailed, and the road was nicknamed "dead".

Only years later, employees of the Tsibenko seismic station would borrow one of the Gulag camps as a base, and later discover the first gas field, later named Urengoyskoye. So in June 1966, in Urengoy, the team of master Polupanov will cut the first exploration well, and a new Urengoy natural gas field will appear on the geological map of the USSR - the largest in the world in terms of hydrocarbon production.

However, the active development of the city will begin only in 1973, when the first convoy will arrive at the site of the future settlement in order to start building the city from the village of Pangody. In 1975, Novy Urengoy was registered as a settlement, and already in 1978, Urengoygazdobycha, the largest production association, reached the production of the first billion cubic meters of Urengoy gas by May 30 of the same year. Just two years later, in 1980, Novy Urengoy received the status of a city, and already in 1983, through the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline, Urengoy gas began to flow to the states of Western Europe.

After that, the city continues to develop at a rapid pace and soon surpasses the administrative capital of the YaNAO - Salekhard in terms of economic indicators and population, becoming the second largest city in the district and second only to Noyabrsk. To date, about 550 billion cubic meters of natural gas are produced in Yamal annually, where the leading role belongs to the enterprises of Novy Urengoy, and the city itself is among the ten leaders in terms of per capita income in the Russian Federation.

“I came out of the forest; there was a severe frost "or all about the climate and ecology of Novy Urengoy

However, these “incomes” are not so easy for the residents of Novy Urengoy, who live in harsh climatic conditions, as evidenced even by entries in work books - “The Far North Region”. Despite the fact that Novy Urengoy is located in the temperate continental climate zone, the territory of the city falls on its northernmost part, bordering on the subarctic climate, and therefore the weather conditions here are appropriate. The mark of the average annual air temperature in the city ranges from -5.7°C, and the average annual humidity is 78%.

Winters in Urengoy are long and cold (about 284 days a year) and, as in Nekrasov's poem, are characterized by "severe frosts". The lowest temperatures are in January and February. And although the monthly averages of these months are -21.7 and -20.1°C, during this period, the thermometers often fall below -30°C, often staying at -45°C.

During periods of such a severe cold snap, schoolchildren are announced on all local TV channels forced vacations - “activities”, and on days of especially severe frosts, even some organizations are closed. As hard as severe cold, local residents endure in the winter season and the short duration of daylight hours, averaging 1.5-2 hours, while on the shortest day of the year - the winter solstice - the sun is shown in Novy Urengoy And at all only on 1 hour and 5 minutes.

But the main entourage of summer in the city, as opposed to winter, are white nights lasting from June to August, and the warmest period is in July with average monthly temperatures of +15.1°C. Despite the fact that summer in the city lasts only about 35 days, Novy Urengoy often has suffocating heat around +25..+30°C at this time.

The amount of precipitation falling during the year is rather insignificant and does not exceed 400 mm. One more feature cities are strong winds (10-15 m / s, or even higher) and sudden changes in temperature, during which during the day the thermometers can change their readings by 15-20 ° C.

But the ecological situation in the city, despite its "gas producing status", is remarkable for its enviable stability. The main industrial enterprises of Novy Urengoy are located far outside the city, in its so-called industrial zone, household waste, along with snow in winter period, is regularly taken out, and any unauthorized dumps in Novy Urengoy are instantly punished by huge fines. In 2010, Nur also opened a workshop for the disposal of mercury-containing, including fluorescent, lamps.

The "multinational" face of the Urengoi people - features of the city's population

severe natural conditions could not but affect the demographic features of Novy Urengoy. And, despite the fact that the gas capital is the second largest city in the YNAO, according to data for 2012, only 106 thousand people live in Novy Urengoy. However, for the conditions of the Far North, this is practically a record, especially considering the fact that in 1979 the number of Urengoi did not even reach the ten thousand mark, amounting to only 8580 people.

But the development of the city proceeded at a rapid pace. After the opening of Urengoygazdobycha, the need for labor resources increased every year, an increasing number of people with “gas” and engineering and construction specialties came to the city, and by 1989 more than 93 thousand people lived in Nur. It is after this mark that the population begins to grow, mainly not due to incoming labor resources, but naturally due to the birth rate. In 2002, the number of Urengoy residents reaches 94.5 thousand people, and statistics at the beginning of 2014 indicate already 115.8 thousand residents of the city.

It is not for nothing that Novy Urengoy is called the city of the future and youth. The demographic situation of Nur is distinguished by enviable stability and with a birth rate of about 14 people per 1000 Urengoi residents (2011), today the number of its residents under the age of 18 is more than 25% of the total population of the city.

The number of able-bodied population of Urengoy is also large (over 60% of the total), which is primarily due to the fact that after retirement, most Urengoy residents move to permanent residence in the central regions of the country on their own or under a local resettlement program. The majority of the working population is made up of employees of gas producing enterprises with narrow technical specialties, engineers, builders and service workers.

Another typical feature of the population of the unofficial gas capital is its multinationality. Today, representatives of more than 40 nationalities live in Novy Urengoy, a large proportion of which are Russian residents, Ukrainians, Tatars, Chechens and Dagestanis, Circassians, as well as other immigrants from the southern Russian republics, including the post-Soviet countries. Based on this, the believing population of the city is divided into two main groups: Christians (the vast majority) and Muslims.

Districts and real estate of Novy Urengoy

But territorially, according to official documentation, the city of Novy Urengoy is divided into four large districts: northern and southern, as well as Limbayakha and Korotchaevo districts. The first two districts, commonly referred to as "Severka" and "Yuzhka", actually represent the city itself and are separated by a tundra zone and two rivers.

But the districts of Limbyakha and Korotchaevo are more than 70 km away from the center of Novy Urengoy, and until 2004 they were autonomous administrative-territorial units. However, in September 2004, a referendum was held among the population of these settlements on the desire of the inhabitants to join the city of Novy Urengoy, as a result of which, by a majority of votes, it was decided to transform the settlements of Limbyakha and Korotchaevo into areas of the "gas capital". So Novy Urengoy acquired two districts that are significantly remote from its center and became one of the longest cities in the world with a total length of more than 80 km.

Nevertheless, the Urengoi people themselves still consider Korotchaevo and Limbayakha to be separate settlements, and two of its inextricably linked parts, northern and southern, are attributed to the districts of the city.

Yuzhka, as a district of Novy Urengoy, is the oldest part of the city, from which the history of the emergence and development of Urengoy actually began. It was here that on September 23, 1973, on the site of the future city, under the famous words of the Minister of the Gas Industry Sabit Orudzhev: “Here there will be a city of gas workers and builders Urengoy,” a symbolic peg was hammered into the ground.

Today, the southern part of the city is the location of most administrative and public institutions. Here are the main places of "meetings and partings" in the city - Train Station and the airport

and the main points of "treatment and rehabilitation" of Novy Urengoy - the Municipal City Hospital and the largest private medical clinic "Scanner", as well as the "favorite instances" of entrepreneurs, accountants and the rest of the working population of the city - pension, social insurance and tax services.

Geographically, the south also owns the migration service, the registry office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the traffic police, a mosque and an Orthodox church under construction. Actually in the southern part of the city, both the main city-forming and the largest enterprises of the gas industry are concentrated. These are Gazprom dobycha Urengoy and Gazprom dobycha Yamburg, as well as Burgaz, Rospan International, Rosneftegaz, etc.

But the "conditional center" of the southern part of Novy Urengoy is occupied by the Cultural and Sports Center "Gazodobytchik" and the main square of the city, where all the most significant events of the "gas capital" take place. Not far from the square is the picturesque Nameless Lake, surrounded by a small park. In summer, seasonal cafes operate along its shores, and in winter, you can ride snowmobiles or sleighs in reindeer sleds along the frozen lake (during the holidays of the Peoples of the North).

Although, unlike the northern part of Novy Urengoy, the canvas of the south is mostly woven from parallel and intersecting streets (central Leningradsky Prospekt, Sibirskaya Street, Geologists, 26 Congress of the CPSU, etc.), and not from the usual microdistricts, the location of residential buildings here also distinguished by "northern compactness".

And each "mini-group" of residential high-rise buildings certainly has its own school, Kindergarten, a pharmacy and a supermarket (TC) or several grocery stores.

And in order to become the owner of an apartment in one of these residential areas of Novy Urengoy, you will have to pay a tidy sum. So, according to average estimates, the cost of one-room apartments in the southern part of the city today in the secondary market is about 3.2-3.5 million rubles (depending on the condition of housing, square footage, number of storeys, distance from the stop, etc.).

Much cheaper is housing in wooden houses - the so-called KDMO, which in Novy Urengoy is becoming less and less every year. So, on average, a one-room apartment in such a house can cost a potential buyer 2 million rubles. But since such real estate is often sold even without a warrant (at prices of 100-300 thousand rubles), there are very few, if not a few, who want to buy it.

The residents of Urengoy are not in a hurry to buy up newfangled townhouses that have recently grown like mushrooms on the outskirts of the southern part of the city. And although their prices bite not much more than housing prices in apartment buildings, not everyone dares to buy a private house built on permafrost.

Housing in the northern part of the city, which was built up later than the southern part, is also distinguished by no lesser cost, if not more, and is rightfully considered its sleeping area. Well, since most of the houses here are newer than in the south, the cost of one-room apartments ranges from 3.2-3.7 million rubles (secondary housing), and the residential buildings themselves are located in neighborhoods of the city adjacent to each other: Druzhba, Mirny, Yubileyny , Soviet, Eastern and Student.

As in the south, almost every district has a complete infrastructure - its own school, kindergarten, pharmacy and a number of shops or even a shopping center. By the way, all residential buildings in the city are maintained by management companies and administration in good, often excellent condition: every spring, snow and ice are removed from the roofs, and the facades of the most “dilapidated” houses are re-plastered, repainted, and sometimes even clad.

There are much fewer administrative and public buildings in the northern part of Novy Urengoy than in the southern part. Here are located: the city administration and the departments of the clinic and the passport office. Of the city-forming enterprises in the north, one can name the branch of Gazprom doby Urengoy. But the real decorations of the Severka are rightfully considered its temple, "campus" and park.

Beyond the outskirts of the Druzhba microdistrict, on the picturesque coast of the Sede-Yakha River, the wooden church of St. Seraphim of Sarov majestically rises.

Just a few minutes walk from it is a young park with a unique summer fountain. Well, in the very "heart" of the northern part of the city there is a student campus with the Novy Urengoy College of the Gas Industry and the square in front of it with the Victory Monument.

Infrastructure Nur - a paradise in three dimensions

As they say, we will take not one, but another. And if the natural conditions of the city, with their severity, do not favor a joyful stay in it, then the infrastructure of Novy Urengoy, on the contrary, is thought out to the smallest detail for the joy and convenience of local residents. Moreover, this can be said with confidence both about transport, and about the industrial and social infrastructure of Nur - a kind of paradise in three dimensions.

So, Novy Urengoy can safely boast of one hundred percent security with all means of transportation. At the same time, air transport has always been and remains the most popular in the city. Today, the local airport receives aircraft from Moscow (3-5 flights daily), the northern capital - St. Petersburg (at least a flight per week), as well as Tyumen, Yekaterinburg, Samara, Salekhard, etc. During the "warm period" seasonal flights run between Novy Urengoy and Krasnodar, as well as Nur and Mineralnye Vody.

Railway communication is no less developed in the gas capital, represented mainly by Russian Railways trains. So, a train to Moscow departs daily from Urengoy, according to this message, the branded train "Yamal" also runs according to the schedule. In addition, trains depart from the Urengoy station to Tyumen, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, etc., and the railway communication itself plays an important role in the freight turnover. An equally important role in the city's economy is played by the local river port, located in Korotchaevo, which is a transport artery between the cities and towns of the YaNAO and the Northern Sea Route. The lion's share of cargo delivery for local construction and gas production enterprises lies on the shoulders of the Urengoy River Port.

The transport network of the city is also highly developed: in addition to the main roads crossing the territory of Nur, there are bypass roads in the city, and a local viaduct was built in its southern part for optimal transport interchange.

That is why there are practically no traffic jams in Novy Urengoy, with the exception of a slight congestion of the highway in the morning hours (from 7 to 9 in the morning), and the main ones are caused either by road accidents or “slippage” freight trains under the viaduct. The road surface in the city itself is of high quality, moreover, in the "problem areas" every summer repairs are carried out and new asphalt is laid. IN last years and at all there was a tradition every summer to expand the highway in some area of ​​Urengoy.

In addition, in view of the low provision of the city with garages, the administration of Urengoy annually increases the territory of “parking spaces” near houses by increasing the driveways in front of them.

As mentioned earlier, housing and communal services are not lagging behind: the territories adjacent to the houses, as well as the entrances to them, are regularly cleaned by the employees of Urengoyzhilservis, and in winter they are cleared of snow. In fact, such diligence is partly due to the high prices for utilities in Nur, where, for example, 1 cubic meter of hot water costs Urengoy residents an average of 104 rubles, cold - 28 rubles, while the cost of a wastewater cube is 31 rubles. And the very “maintenance” of housing, for example, a small one-room apartment per month will cost about 1,400 rubles, a slightly smaller amount, about 1,150 rubles, will have to be paid for its monthly heat supply. At the same time, the cost of 1,000 cubic meters of natural gas costs Urengoy residents 2,686 rubles, which is only 27 rubles a month for the maintenance of one stove. The average electricity prices in the city are 1.7 rubles per 1 kWh.

The social infrastructure is also highly developed in Novy Urengoy. More than 38 preschool institutions, 24 schools, including a local gymnasium, secondary night school and 2 primary schools. For children with developmental disabilities, the doors of the local Support Center are open, and the secondary professional education Urengoy youth can get education in a number of local schools, including the technical school of the gas industry. In addition, 7 branches of Russian universities have been opened in the city, the most important among which is the Yamal Oil and Gas Institute.

Nura Health Represent 11 medical institutions with the largest of them - the municipal city multidisciplinary hospital. In addition, the gas capital has 17 sports facilities, as well as a number of city palaces and cultural and sports centers.

Actually, Novy Urengoy received the unofficial status of the “gas capital” of Russia quite deservedly, because the leading role in the economic complex of the city belongs to the gas industry. Thus, the city-forming enterprises of Nur are such global industrial giants as Gazprom dobycha Urengoy, Gazprom dobycha Yamburg, Urengoy drilling branch, Gazprom Podzemremont Urengoy, as well as other large enterprises such as Rospan International, Arktikgaz, Achimgaz, Rosneftegaz, etc., which own more than 74% of all gas production in the Russian Federation.

It should be noted that more than 80% of the city's labor resources are employed in the fuel and energy industry of the city. At the same time, the main players in the fuel sector are Urengoygazprom, Yamburggazdobycha, Burgaz, Sibneftegaz, etc., while Tyumenenergo, Urengoyskaya GRES, Urengoy Mobile Power Plants are in the foreground in the electric power industry. and Mobile Energy.

The second violin after the fuel and energy complex in the economy of Novy Urengoy is played by the food industry, represented by a number of enterprises producing fish, meat and sausage, smoked and dried and dairy products, as well as various semi-finished products and bakery products. Actually, the production of confectionery and bakery products makes up a large part of the Novy Urengoy food industry. And here it is impossible not to mention its leaders such as the branch of Zapsibgaztorg - Urengoygaztorg, Yamal-plus, Ankor, Topaz and Revenge.

In the gas capital, the Novourengoyskaya Voda and Chistaya Voda enterprises also produce soft drinks and drinking water, while the Assortiment and Urengoygazdorstroymaterialy organizations supply local beer to the city's shelves. In addition, about 400 retail trade enterprises, 6 food, mixed and clothing markets, as well as 36 public catering organizations and about 13 consumer services enterprises supply the inhabitants of the city with goods for industrial and food purposes.

In recent years, namely a decade, several large shopping centers and entertainment complexes have been built in the city.

These include the Helicopter and Hudson shopping centers, owned by the same owners and, in fact, being one chain based on the Ankor grocery supermarket, which is also represented in the city and in other shopping centers, for example, in the Yamal shopping and entertainment complex .

But the pioneers should include the trade network "Urengoygaztorg", whose products are presented in large shopping centers "Siberia", "Victoria", "White Nights" and "Desyatochka".

The city also has chains of household chemicals and cosmetics supermarkets, such as Optima and Lyubimiy, Letual, as well as large furniture stores, electronics supermarkets, including M-Video and Expert. Pharmacy chains in Novy Urengoy are represented by Rigla, Scaner, Severa Zdorovye, etc. pharmacies.

In recent years, incredible competition has flared up in the field of “fashion and beauty” - more than 10 beauty salons, hairdressers and ateliers have been opened in the city, as well as in the provision of legal and accounting services. The banking sector is dominated by two Russian giants - Sberbank, Gazprombank - and several largest Siberian banks - Zapsibkombank, Sibneftebank, Khanty-Mansiysk Bank, etc. And all of the above for only 106 thousand inhabitants, which indicates high economic development of the city.

But the sphere of information support of Novy Urengoy is occupied by four printed media mass media and a similar number of local broadcasters.

Criminal Novy Urengoy - gangster 90s and "clan" 2000s

By the way, a considerable share of the broadcasting of the latter is occupied by local criminal reports. And if in the fateful 90s they were mainly devoted to local gang warfare on the topic of “reshaping the already divided world”, as well as reports on growing drug addiction, including children’s addiction, then in the last decade, messages about resonant conflicts based on ethnic strife. And the main part in them is taken by representatives of the local southern diasporas, for example, the Chechen one, and the "clan" in Urengoy still remains one of the main problems of the local police.

So in 2008, during the celebration of a birthday, which was attended by about 10 people of Slavic nationality, a group of Caucasians of about 40 people unexpectedly appeared at the celebration, who subsequently unleashed a fight with the use of knives and shooting. As it turned out, one of the guys present at the birthday party had a conflict with them earlier, which the Caucasians decided to “resolve” at the time of their arrival. The fight resulted in a murder. young man- Stakhova Alexandra, and two more guys with stab wounds were urgently hospitalized in a local hospital.

After this incident, there were several more ethnic conflicts in the city, ending in fights with shootings. That is why, later, in Novy Urengoy, additional round-the-clock patrolling of Nur was introduced to help the police in order to strengthen control over the criminal situation in the city.

At the beginning of 2012, steps were also taken to “close” Novy Urengoy as a city of industrial importance, in which visitors could enter strictly by invitation or call. At the entrance to the city, "border" posts were set up, and the inspection at the airport was supplemented by passport control. However, this practice did not last long and for the next, about the tenth time, the so-called "closure" of the city failed.

Urengoy tourist

In fact, ordinary guests of the city, tourists, as well as people who come to Urengoy on business trips, for whom the closure of the gas capital meant, first of all, paperwork, could not help but rejoice at this fiasco. Today, they can freely visit the city, because, despite its obvious “youth” for the city, Novy Urengoy can safely boast of the presence of many local attractions.

First of all, guests of the city should visit the local stele of Novy Urengoy - a symbolic monument of the gas capital, located at the entrance to the city. And of course, to cross the "invisible" line - the border of the Arctic Circle, on which a kind of metal monument in the form of a sphere is installed.

Also in the city you can see the thematic Victory Memorial, where flowers are laid on each of its anniversary,

get acquainted with the pedestal "To the Pioneers of the Development of Urengoy", located in front of one of the divisions of Urengoygazprom,

visit the local city museum of fine arts and just relax in the green park area "Friendship" with its luxurious fountain-sail.

Nature lovers can also visit Nameless Lake, which fringes a small residential area in the southern part of the city,

Well, to the location of those guests who love to eat deliciously, dance and relax in style, there are dozens of Urengoy cafes, restaurants and nightclubs. The Stariy Zamok, Banker, Polar Owl and Lyon restaurants are distinguished by a special sophistication, but guests who are not accustomed to the "northern" prices may seem a little expensive to rest in them. Thus, a table in the Banker club will cost its visitors about 4,000 rubles: tables in this club are obligatory, and for this amount you can order about two servings of excellent shish kebab, a side dish, a couple of salads and light cocktails.

More democratic prices differ cafe "Madagascar" and a number of cafes and eateries in the shopping center "Hudson", "Helicopter" and "Siberia". Here you can just chat with friends over a cup of fragrant coffee with cinnamon and taste an excellent cottage cheese cake - cheesecake. But the famous McDonald's is not yet in the city, but it is successfully replaced by a cafe with a similar menu - Snapped up. In the city, you can also relax in two bowling clubs in Polar Owl and Yamal, and outdoor enthusiasts can play paintball and conquer the local skaldom.

In winter, you can ride snowmobiles and admire the local ice town, which is built every year on the main square by genius architects. Actually, in Novy Urengoy in winter, even mini-bell towers are built from snow on Epiphany days, and ice-holes are cut through on the Sede-Yakha River and fonts are installed for all Christians who want to take a dip. Well, after only a month and a half, in early-mid March, great folk festivals begin - the holiday of the Peoples of the North, where you can taste delicious venison and barbecue from northern fish, ride a sleigh in reindeer teams and just admire the faces of those who inhabited this city long before its development.

Novy Urengoy is one of the largest and most important settlements, which belongs to the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous region Russian Federation. It has a huge industrial potential, many times greater than even the administrative center of the district called Salekhard. Where is Urengoy located?

The specified settlement is located on the territory of Western Siberia, namely, in the Tyumen region. The distance to Salekhard is 450 km, to Moscow - 2350 km. The time difference between the capital and Novy Urengoy is 2 hours. There are northern and southern parts of the city. Such a conditional division of Novy Urengoy was due to two rivers flowing through its territory. The rivers are called Sede-Yakha and Tamchara-Yakha.

The local population is small. Thus, in accordance with the 2010 census, the number of inhabitants of the city was 119,600 people. In Novy Urengoy there is a large railroad station, as well as an operating river port. In addition, the city is unofficially considered a leader in the gas industry, since the largest deposits of natural gas are located on its territory.

The climate of Novy Urengoy

The region where Urengoy is located covers an area of ​​113 sq. km, which lies 60 km from the Arctic Circle on the left bank of the lacustrine-alluvial plain of the river Pur. The area near the city is swampy. Geographically, Novy Urengoy is located in the forest-tundra zone, at the junction of 2 climatic zones, namely, temperate and subarctic. This location causes a harsh continental climate and extremely cold winters.

The winter period lasts for 10 months, and the summer, on the contrary, is about 35 days. In summer it is cool and windy here. The harsh climate of Novy Urengoy is significantly affected by the sea, frost, and the movement of air currents from the Atlantic.
The average air temperature in Urengoy is -6 degrees, the temperature in January, as a rule, drops to -22 degrees, and the average monthly temperature in July only reaches +15 degrees.

On the coldest days, and there are only five of them, the air temperature is a record - 47 degrees. Sharp temperature drops provoke the appearance of snowstorms and snowstorms. The flat area where Urengoy is located is in the zone of eternal glaciers. In the summer, the ground on it thaws a little, about one to two meters deep. The shortest daylight hours last one hour and seven minutes.

A small excursion into the history of the city

In Stalin's times, in the tundra, which is located near the Arctic Circle, began construction works for laying the railway (its route Salekhard - Igarka). For the construction of the railroad tracks, the labor of prisoners from the Gulag was used. They planned to stay in the developed area and live there permanently. However, everything changed after Stalin's death: design developments were curtailed by 1960 and the abandoned road was called the dead road.

Despite this, the work of the builders more than paid off in the future. With their help, vast deposits of Urengoy natural gas were discovered. In 1966, the station of seismologists V. Tsybenko was located in the barracks, where the prisoners of the so-called "503 construction site" lived. The first well was drilled on June 6 of the same year. At the same time, a new designation appeared on the geological map of the country where Urengoy is located.

It is this period that is considered the date of formation of the unique Urengoy gas field with the same name.
On September 22, 1973, a sign with the symbolic inscription “Novy Urengoy” appeared on the territory of the deposit, and workers arrived at the site to build the first buildings in locality.

Novy Urengoy acquired the status of a district settlement in September 1980, as the city's infrastructure and gas production grew at a rapid pace. The first gas pipeline was built already in 1983, it was called "Urenga - Pomary - Uzhgorod".

Four years later, natural gas began to be pumped into Western European gas storage facilities. Novy Urengoy is one of the longest cities in the world, which includes two huge villages - Korotchaevo and Limbayakha. The length of the territory occupied by Urengoy was 80 km.

Interesting facts about Novy Urengoy

In Novy Urengoy there are large joint-stock companies that are engaged in the extraction of natural gas. In particular, these are: OOO Gazprom dobycha Urengoy, OOO Gazprom dobycha Yamburg, and OOO Gazprom Podzemremont Urengoy. These enterprises, together with a number of other companies, are part of the corporation of the world leader in gas production, OAO Gazprom.

A significant part (about 75%) of the total amount of gas produced in the Russian Federation falls on their share. In addition, a modern gas chemical complex, as well as a complex for the production of polyethylene and ethylene, will be built in Urengoy in the near future. In Novy Urengoy there is an airport of the same name, as well as a number of educational institutions with high accreditation.

There is practically no transport interchange in the village. It was planned that with outside world the city will be connected by means of the Salekhard-Labytnangi bridge across the Ob River. However, these projects were not destined to become a reality. Therefore, you can get to the place where Urengoy is located only through the city of Tyumen.

A little about the city of Novy Urengoy

Novy Urengoy is one of the few cities in the Russian Federation that surpasses in industrial terms and in population the administrative center of the subject of the federation, the city of Salekhard.

The city-forming industry is the extraction and transportation of natural gas. There are three city-forming enterprises in the city: Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy, Gazprom Dobycha Yamburg, Burgaz (Tyumenburgaz) and others: Nortgaz, Gazprom transgaz Yugorsk, which are part of OAO Gazprom.

New Urengoy, only 30 years old, during this time a large city was built, with constantly expanding "import" quarters, for example: Turkish, and therefore it seems that it is much older.

Like in other cities, Urengoy has infrastructure, namely: a hospital (very large and good), urban transport (municipal, private minibuses and taxis), boiler houses in each microdistrict or part of the city (there are only 2 of them: southern and northern, separates their small river), etc.

There are a lot of schools, gymnasiums (the schools are simply magnificent, with swimming pools, with equipment for chemistry and biology classrooms), shops (from ordinary shops to representatives of Eldorado, Expert, etc.), an airport, a railway station (a large good one is being built now railway station), cinema, markets (covered), etc.

Housing in Novy Urengoy

In new Urengoy, housing is divided into 3 types:

• capital housing

These are ordinary 5 - 9-storey houses, brick and panel. I won’t talk about buying a home, so as not to immediately scare away yours, while we talk about renting.

1 room apartments- from 18 to 22 thousand rubles / month. The rental price depends on the completeness of the apartment. Naturally, the better the equipment: washing and dishwasher, linen, dishes, etc., the higher the rent. But such prices are designed more for seconded employees. The enterprise pays for them, because it's only for a while.

2 room apartments- from 25 to 27 thousand rubles / month. Everything is the same as with one-room apartments, the better the equipment, the more expensive the rent.

3 room apartments- from 30 to 32 thousand rubles / month. Such apartments are needed, but not for everyone, especially if the equipment is at the European level. In this case, the rental price reaches 50 thousand rubles per month. Most likely, such housing is rented by the "Big Bosses" when they arrive with checks.

Utility bills are already included in the apartment rental price, except for: electricity, telephone, intercom, garbage.

Room in an apartment- from 10 to 14 thousand rubles / month. Those. you live with the hostess/owners and regularly pay for inexpensive housing.

• pieces of wood

These are old 2-storey houses, they do not look very good, but you can live. True, the audibility is high, but you live separately.

2 rooms- from 18 to 22 thousand rubles / month. A friend of mine lives in one of these apartments. He recently arrived at north to work, later moved his wife. Now they work together, she is in the hospital (masseur), he is in the municipal ATP. Conditions in the apartment are good, warm, comfortable, hot water, bath, etc.

• Dormitories

There are many hostels in Novy Urengoy, some of them family. The conditions are the same as in an ordinary hostel, I just want to add that the environment is clean, tidy, there is no “debauchery”, as well as hot water. The only thing is the kitchen and the shower are shared, but for a young family it is quite an acceptable option. The price in the city varies a little, from 270 to 340 rubles per day.

Upon arrival, temporary registration is not difficult. If you have already found a job, then you can ask the HR department to help with registration, as they already know this process like “their 5 fingers”.

If you check into a hostel, the commandant will register you herself and everything will be in order.

Nutrition

I will not post a price list here, I will simply say that almost all products are needed more expensive from 20% to 120%. For example, bread - from 25 rubles. (now I have 12 rubles).

Now back to the question: "is there any point in moving to live in Novy Urengoy." To this question I will answer: "YES".

Come to Novy Urengoy and immediately get a job in a good organization with high level wages, 99 percent impossible. As in any other city, we find out through acquaintances, friends, relatives that such and such a specialist is required in such and such an organization, and we go and try to get a job.

This is what happens here too, when you start working in Novy Urengoy in any organization, a circle of acquaintances will appear through whom you will be able to get a job in an organization with a higher salary and better conditions in your opinion.

Because Novy Urengoy is an industrial city; qualified specialists of working and technical specialties are in demand there. For example, if you are a turner or a gas welder, then in addition to your main job, you will definitely have private orders, the fulfillment of which will be an increase of + 30-50% to your basic salary.

Let's take the example that I described above - my friends. The wife got a job as a massage therapist in the city hospital, after working for 2 months, she began to take patients at home for individual programs. Her husband had to buy some kind of specialized massage chair-bed that she needed in her work, but these costs will pay off quickly, because. three hourly sessions cost 1500 rubles. For the future, they plan to buy a small truck (like a Gazelle) and engage in private transportation, because. There, this service is in demand and brings good earnings.

Here is another example, a year and a half ago, we sent a specialist to work in the north. In the Krasnodar Territory, he worked as a computer science teacher in a small village secondary school, a Civil Engineer by education, and had experience in welding. They arranged him as a gas welder, in a small organization, with a salary of about 30 thousand rubles per month. Having worked for 1 year on the basis of an enterprise in Novy Urengoy, without complaints and with positive feedback, he was appointed Foreman with a good salary. But, even when he worked as a welder, he was satisfied with the salary, because. he was often approached with orders by private traders, which brought additional income.

Other examples could be given, but why? If your goal is to improve own life, then you will make every effort to achieve well-being. We all know that “All at once” will not work, and the stairs to your success are gradual steps.

As a result, I will give the expression known to everyone: “If you want to live, know how to spin”, but the main thing is that there is a financial return, and in Novy Urengoy there are all opportunities for this.
