The regional center of the Yamalo Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Where is the Yamal Peninsula located? Settlements of the Yamal Peninsula

The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is a national-state entity. The district was created on December 10, 1930. As an equal subject, the district is part of the Russian Federation. The administrative center of the district is the city of Salekhard.
The area of ​​the district is 750.3 thousand km2. Its territory could accommodate Spain, Portugal and Greece combined.
The total population of the district is more than 508 thousand people. The most densely populated strips are along railways and river transport arteries. The average population density of the district is less than 1 person per 1 km2. The industrial development of the district in recent decades has contributed to the rapid growth of the urban population (more than 85% of the total population of the district)
Now in the Yamalo-Nenets District there are 8 cities of district subordination - these are Salekhard, Labytnangi, Muravlenko, Nadym, Novy Urengoy, Noyabrsk, Tarko-Sale and Gubkinsky, 7 urban-type settlements: Korotchaevo, Limbayakha, Pangody, Stary Nadym, Tazovsky, Urengoy, Kharp and 103 small rural settlements. The number of rural residents is declining due to the transformation of rural settlements into urban areas and as a result of the outflow of the population from rural areas. Non-agricultural (rotational, oil and gas, transport), small national settlements (fishing, reindeer herding, hunting) predominate among rural Yamal settlements. The number of inhabitants in rural settlements is on average 910 people. The presence of mobile settlements of indigenous peoples (pastures, plagues, huts) is also characteristic.

SALEKHARD

Salekhard, the capital of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, is a city in Western Siberia, the center of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The city is located 2436 kilometers northeast of Moscow and 1982 kilometers north of Tyumen.
The city of Salekhard is located on the Poluy Upland, on the right bank of the Ob River, at its confluence with the Poluy River, near the Arctic Circle, in the permafrost zone. It is the only city in the world located on the Arctic Circle.
The climate here is sharply continental, severe. Average temperatures in January are from -22 to -26 degrees, in July - + 4 - +14 degrees. Precipitation falls 200 - 400 mm per year.
The nearest railway station is the city of Labytnangi (line to Kotlas) - 20 km from Salekhard, on the opposite bank of the Ob; connected with Salekhard in summer by river tram, in winter - by bus.
The population of modern Salekhard is more than 35.5 thousand inhabitants (end of 2002). Of these, 5,600 foreigners and 4,450 temporary residents.

History reference. The city was founded by the Siberian Cossacks more than 400 years ago, more precisely in 1595 under the name Obdorsk (from the name of the Ob River and the word "dor", translated from the Komi language - "a place near", "near something"), however, the Nenets have long called the village of Sale-Kharn, that is, "a settlement on a cape."
In the middle of the 18th century, merchants came here for fairs, and at the end of the 18th century the fortress was abolished. Since the 20s of the 19th century, Russians began to settle in Obdorsk for permanent residence.
In the XYII - early XX centuries, Obdorsk became part of the Belozersky district of the Tobolsk province. In 1897, in the settlement of Obdorsk there were 30 houses, 150 trading shops, there were 500 permanent residents, who were mainly engaged in hunting, fishing and trade. At that time, the village was famous for its large fairs. Every year from December 15 to January 25, the Obdorskaya Fair was held here (the turnover exceeded 100 thousand rubles). During this period of time, the population of the city exceeded several thousand people. Russian merchants, mainly from Tobolsk, brought flour, bread, wine, cloth, iron and copper products, tobacco and jewelry, receiving in return furs, fish and fish glue, bird feathers, mammoth ivory and walrus tusks. The fox skins and paws were mainly considered the monetary unit.
In 1897, a fishing school was formed in the city of Obdorsk.
In December 1930, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug was formed, the city of Obdorsk became its center, and since 1933 it became known as Salekhard. The village received city status in 1938. This is the first and only city on the Arctic Circle.
Modern Salekhard is a large cultural and industrially developed city.

city ​​industry. There is no serious manufacturing industry in the city and therefore the city is always supported by the district. The city's industry is represented by: factories - fish canning and dairy, house-building plant.
Salekhard is the center of exploration expeditions. This is a major transport hub. The Salekhard fish cannery is the largest in the Tyumen region and is one of the first-born industrial development of the north of Western Siberia.
The city of Salekhard is a major river port. 72 years ago (in 1933) the North Ural Trust of the Main Northern Sea Route was established in Salekhard. He is engaged in shipbuilding, fur harvesting, fur slaughter, and timber export.
Since 1951, a mink fur farm has been operating in the city of Salekhard, where fur-bearing animals are bred - arctic foxes, nutrias and minks
There is also a modern airport, the grand opening of which took place on May 31, 2000. Iron Birds fly to many cities in Russia and even abroad (for example, to the city of Budapest. It is also planned to fly to Cyprus and Turkey).
Air communication with the capital of the Tyumen region, the city of Tyumen, was opened back in 1935, in 1937 the first regular air line Salekhard - Novy Port began to operate.
A newly built highway connected the district capital with other cities and towns of Yamal.

cultural life of the city. There are five secondary specialized educational institutions in the district center: a pedagogical college, a veterinary technical school, a school of culture and art, a trade school, and the oldest medical school in the country. The medical school has a preparatory department for indigenous northerners.
In 1932, the oldest national pedagogical college in Yamal was opened, which over the years has trained many excellent teaching staff.
In Salekhard, there is a museum of local lore, which contains products of local art crafts - bone carving, beaded jewelry, embroidery and appliqué (a pattern made using scraps of various materials) on fur, leather and cloth.
In 1990, the city of Salekhard was included in the list of historical cities. A protected historical zone has been created in the city, because there are many buildings of historical and architectural value.

Sports life of the city. Salekhard is a sports city, where almost every resident goes in for sports. This is facilitated by a large number of cultural and sports institutions of the city. The Ice Palace, which has recently opened its doors to lovers of active recreation, is very popular. What kind of sections are not there, what kind of competitions were not held here!
On April 9, 2001, a polar chess school named after world chess champion Anatoly Karpov was opened in the city of Salekhard. Now chess competitions are held here every year. There is a tennis club in the city with the beautiful name "Polyarny" (this is a veteran club, more than 30 people are involved in it). Members of the club - Vladimir Medvedev, Viktor Chikhirev and others - took part in the personal championship of Russia and took 8 prizes. A children's and youth sports school operates here, in which many sports personnel have been trained.
For lovers of skiing, a ski base has been created in the city, where there is a beautiful illuminated ski track, equipped buildings for recreation.
Every year, the republican championships in national sports are held in the capital of the district; they have been held since 1974. This proves that Yamal pays great attention to national sports.

In recent years, the ancient city of Salekhard, which no one has been engaged in for more than 400 years, can be said to have been reborn. At present, it has become a major cultural and industrial center, with modern, well-appointed houses.
The appearance of the district capital is constantly changing, a lot of construction is being carried out there and colossal work is being done to improve the urban area. Today's inhabitant of the city amazes with its architectural thoughtfulness and originality. The city has great prospects and plans for the future; according to the leaders of the city and the district, this will be a city designed for 40,000 inhabitants.

Truly, the age for the Siberian cities is considerable. And our city is one of the oldest among them.
Yes, it is comparable in age with the Siberian cities. However, it is not comparable - not only with Siberian, but also with all other cities of the world - in terms of its geographical position. Salekhard (formerly Obdorsk) is the only city in the world located right on the Arctic Circle. The only one ... But mother Russia is not spoiled.
The city grew slowly, as if looking with distrust at the rapid development of the Siberian sister cities, older and younger, who survived in the whirlpool of history and disappeared in it. He did not want the latter, but in striving for the former, wishing to survive in life, he was modest and unfussy. He lived with dignity, maintaining a sense of proportion in everything: both in humility and in self-consciousness.
Obdorsk's date of birth is called differently in many sources: in some - 1592 or 1593, and in others - 1595. The difference, of course, in the scale of history is insignificant. Besides but each of the named dates certainly has the right to exist. It all depends on what is considered the foundation of Obdorsk: whether the arrival of the Cossacks in the lower reaches of the Poluy, whether the construction of a small winter hut near its confluence with the Ob, or the emergence here of an already solid - by the standards of that time - fortification.
Time was running its course...
And now Salekhard is rapidly gaining strength as the capital of a powerful gas and oil power. It is becoming a real Russian outpost, coordinating the flow of powerful flows of hydrocarbon raw materials not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also abroad. There is something to be proud of the people of Salekhard...

In recent years, our ancient city, one might say , was born again. Literally before our eyes, new five-story buildings are being built, modern highways are being laid, a modern airport has been built, and the entire infrastructure of the Yamal capital is rapidly developing. The second youth of Salekhard, which came to him as a result of intensive construction, strikes today's layman with its architectural thoughtfulness and originality. Keep it up Salekhard!

At the end of the XVI century. in this place was the Obdorsky Nosovaya town, which belonged to the Khanty (Ostyaks). They, according to Miller G.F., called it Puling-avat-vash - “Poluisky Nosal City”. or "City on the nose (cape)". The Komi-Zyryans of the land adjacent to the mouth of the Ob called obdor, i.e. "a place near the Ob" or "the mouth of the Ob" (dor - "a place near something", "the mouth "). Already in one of the letters of the beginning of the 16th century, Grand Duke Vasily Ivanovich is called Prince Kondinsky and Obdorsky. Therefore, the Ostyak Nosovoy town was often called Obdorsky Nosovoy town. The Russians, mastering the lower reaches of the Ob, in 1595 built the Obdorsky prison on this strategically advantageous place , which they often called Nosovoy Gorodok as well.Therefore, a complex name was used - "from Obdora from Nosovoy Gorodok". In 1933, Obdorsk was renamed Salekhard, from the Nenets sala - "cape", hard - "house", "settlement", i.e. "settlement on the cape". In 1938, Salekhard became a city.

GUBKINSKY

Gubkinsky- a city in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The municipal formation is the city of district subordination. The city is located two hundred kilometers from the Arctic Circle, on the left bank of the Pyaku-Pur River, 16 km from the Purpe station on the Tyumen - Surgut - Novy Urengoy railway. It is connected with the mainland by a motorway, the nearest airport is located 250 km away in the city of Noyabrsk.

History reference. The city of Gubkinsky arose as a base center in connection with the industrial development of the group of the northernmost oil and gas fields in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, which are promising in terms of reserves and are distinguished by unique properties. At the beginning of 1986, troops landed almost out of nowhere to build the Gubkinsky gas processing plant and the city, which had no exact name.
The history of the city of Gubkinsky begins on April 22, 1986, on the birthday of V.I. Lenin, when specialists, workers and builders gathered for a rally on the occasion of the laying of a new city called Purpe (a memorial stone dedicated to this event was installed on the central square of the city), but the city later became known as Gubkinsky.
The name of the city was not easy. At first they wanted to give it the name Tarasovsky - after the name of the first field being developed, but this hasty (in a good sense) initial version could not stand the competition with two other names - Purpe and Gubkinsky, and the main struggle unfolded between them.
By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR dated April 18, 1988, the village on the territory of the Purpeysky village council of the Purovsky district was named after Gubkinsky (currently the city has seceded from the Purovsky district).
The status of the city of the settlement of oil and gas workers Gubkinsky received on December 2, 1996.
Geographically, Gubkinsky is located in the northeastern part of the West Siberian Lowland in the forest-tundra zone, which is represented here by larch and coniferous woodlands (birch, willow, pine, cedar, larch), peat bogs, and swamps with moss-lichen cover. There is an abundance of berries in the forest and swamps: cloudberries, cranberries, lingonberries, blueberries, blueberries, there is a princess, as well as many white and other mushrooms. The animal world is very diverse and interesting. The local forests are inhabited by: flying squirrel, white hare, chipmunk, brown bear, elk, wolf, fox, wolverine, marten, sable, lynx, Siberian weasel, ermine, badger, otter, muskrat... Wild deer enter the taiga from the north. Bird families are widely represented: capercaillie, black grouse, hazel grouse, stone pine, many waterfowl. All animals are of hunting and commercial importance. The abundance of food and spawning grounds favors the reproduction of fish - the rivers and surrounding lakes are rich in valuable species.
According to the schematic map of climatic zoning, the territory of the city of Gubkinsky belongs to the first uncomfortable climatic zone, which is characterized by severe long winters and short summers: the absolute minimum is minus 61°C, the absolute maximum is plus 34°C.
The total area of ​​the city is 7220 hectares. Of these, 45% are forests; 36.4% - water bodies (rivers, lakes, swamps); the remaining 18.4% are under residential, industrial, communal, warehouse development and household plots, including 1.7% are occupied by transport communications.

Salekhard, the capital of Yamal, was the final destination of the trip. Our ship arrived here at 12, the plane to Moscow - at five and a half. A total of three-and-a-half hours for a sightseeing tour of the city. The taxi driver was a little surprised at the request for an excursion - tourists are generally rare here, but in the end it turned out interesting. The city is small and there was enough time for an overview of it.

Salekhard was founded in 1595 by the Cossacks under the name of the Obdorsk fortress or prison. Obdorsk - translated from the dialects of the northern peoples means "Ob coast". The city is located exactly on the Arctic Circle and at that time was the northernmost fort in Russia. By the beginning of the 19th century, the fortress lost its defensive significance, and the fortifications were dismantled - Obdorsk became a small provincial village in the Berezovsky district. Both in tsarist and Soviet times, Obdorsk was a popular place of exile. In 1923, Obdorsk became the regional center of the new Ural region, and in 1930 the Yamalo-Nenets National Okrug was formed, and Obdorsk became its capital. In 1933, the village was transformed into the regional settlement of Salekhard (translated from the Nenets - "Settlement on the Cape"), which in 1938 was given the status of a city. Thanks to the colossal oil and gas fields, today YaNAO is one of the most economically prosperous regions of our country. In addition to the oil and gas industry, reindeer breeding, traditional for the northern peoples, is developed in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug - today's number of deer in the district reaches 700 thousand, and there are a lot of nomadic reindeer breeding farms.

It is interesting that, like Khanty-Mansiysk in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Salekhard is the capital, but not the largest and most industrialized city in the region. Salekhard, with a population of 50,000, ranks only third in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in terms of population, far behind the "oil and gas" Novy Urengoy and Noyabrsk (both there and there - more than 100,000 people). A satellite of Salekhard is the village of Labytnangi, located on the opposite bank of the Ob. Labytnangi is the terminus of the Northern Railway line and a major transshipment port on the Ob. There is a ferry service between Salekhard and Labytnangi.

1. In the place on the cape where the first Russian settlement was founded 420 years ago, today the model of the Obdorsky prison has been recreated - as it was in those distant years.

6. Peter and Paul Cathedral - the first stone temple of Salekhard. It was built in 1894 and has survived to this day almost in its original form.

7. Modern Salekhard is about the same as most of the economically secure northern "oil and gas" cities. For the most part, new buildings, modern architecture, many cultural, sports and leisure facilities, and old houses have been renovated and given a general architectural look.

13. There is a mosque in Salekhard, one of the northernmost in Russia. Behind the mosque are the buildings of the Yamal multidisciplinary college.

14. National Library of YaNAO.

15. Modern urban development.

16. One of the unusual architectural objects of the city is the Fakel cable-stayed single-pylon bridge across the Shaitanka River, opened in 2004. There is a two-story restaurant on the pylon of the bridge.

17. "In the tales of ancient Yamal, in the songs of new generations - everywhere people honor deer with a word of gratitude!"

18. Not far from the cable-stayed bridge on the far bank of Shaitanka are the administrative buildings of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. This "government quarter" was built quite recently - the YaNAO administration moved here in 2009.

20. In the neighborhood, the construction of a new Cathedral of the Transfiguration is underway.

21. Salekhard is located exactly on the Arctic Circle. In the place where the road to the airport crosses latitude 66 °33`44``, a memorial sign has been erected. I wrote and thought, how many times have I been to and beyond the Arctic Circle? Now I will count - in 6 trips in the North and 1 time in the South in Antarctica.

22. Not far from the Arctic Circle sign, a monument to the 501st construction site was erected, which was laid by the prisoners of the transpolar railway from Salekhard to Igarka. In the forests and tundra far from Salekhard, the remains of prisoners' barracks, railway embankments and even old steam locomotives are still preserved. These places can be seen as part of a separate three-day trip. In the future, if I return to Salekhard, I will try to go there...

Meanwhile, the Transpolar Railway project is actually alive - albeit not in the same format as it was during the Gulag. In essence, part of this road from Plague and Vorkuta to Labytnang is operational; on the opposite bank along the route of the former 501st construction site, the current railway from Urengoy to Nadym was built, they are about to begin active work on the Northern Latitudinal Railway, which will connect Nadym and Salekhard approximately along the route of the former 501st construction site. In recent years, the searchlights for the bridge over the Ob in Salekhard have again become more active. Bold projects are being voiced for the construction of a road to the east from Urengoy to the banks of the Yenisei in the Igarka region, and even more daring projects - to Dudinka and Norilsk, in order to connect the Norilsk industrial region with the "Great Earth" by land. Will it ever be built? I think they will build it - not soon, not tomorrow, not in the foreseeable future, but I think that someday they will build it - because this direction is strategically promising, modern building technologies have stepped far ahead compared to Stalin's times, and the presence in these deaf northern areas of many still undeveloped deposits is a very serious incentive for the development of transport infrastructure. Of course, this is not tomorrow and not in a year ... But maybe years later ...twenty, retired, happen to travel from Moscow to Norilsk by train? :)) It would be damn interesting! In the meantime, we peer into the distance to the broken rails and the lives of the 501st construction site ...

25. Then the road passes the airport and leads to the ferry crossings Salekhard - Labytnangi and Salekhard - Priobye. The first connects Salekhard with the opposite bank and the railway station, and the second - 630 kilometers along the Ob to the Ob, where the nearest main road, connected with the general road network of the country, goes to the river. On the high bank near the crossing, a huge mammoth was installed and a commemorative inscription was laid out in honor of the 420th anniversary of the city.

28. At the Salekhard - Labytnangi crossing it is very busy - ferries across the Ob go one after another.

Here the Ob, squeezed on both sides by mountains, narrows to two kilometers and turns to the east. For many years now, it has been planned to build a huge bridge in this alignment, which will connect Salekhard with the country's railway network and through which the latitudinal northern highway will pass. The issue of the Salekhard bridge has been hovering for many years, since the time of the 501st construction site, and with varying degrees of activity it pops up from time to time in various circles and instances. Recently, talks about the bridge have intensified again - in terms of some engineering solutions, for example, it is planned to use the experience of the Kerch bridge under construction now. But this is still a matter for the future.

33. And now on the banks of the Ob it is quiet and calm - in a wide stream the great Siberian river carries its waters to the Kara Sea among the harsh northern taiga and forest tundra. From here to the beginning of the river delta - a little more than a hundred kilometers, and to the mouth of the Ob in the area of ​​​​the Nadymsky bar - 280 kilometers. A year ago I had a chance to visit Altai, in the very upper reaches of the river, and now we are very close to its mouth...

The journey ends - after standing on the banks of the Ob at the crossing, we go to the airport, where the plane is already waiting for us to go home. It was great! Thanks Seryoga kitv for excellent company as always! And there are probably many other trips ahead, because there are so many interesting places in the world worth visiting! :))

Ural federal district. Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The area is 769.3 thousand square kilometers. Formed on December 10, 1930.
The administrative center of the federal district - city ​​of Salekhard.

It is part of the West Siberian economic region. The basis of the economy of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is oil and gas production. The largest herd of deer in Russia is grazed on Yamal - over 700 thousand heads. The county is a leading exporter of reindeer meat to foreign markets. The world's largest herd of whitefish is concentrated in the rivers and lakes of Yamal. The basis of the ichthyofauna is the famous northern white fish - nelma, muksun, pyzhyan, vendace. The district is also a major supplier of furs: silver-black foxes, blue foxes, and colored minks are bred on fur farms. The main types of economic activity in the region are the fuel and energy complex, construction, trade, transport and communications.

On December 10, 1930, the Yamalo-Nenets National Okrug was formed as part of the Ural Region. Later, the Yamalo-Nenets National Okrug was part of the Ob-Irtysh and Omsk regions.
On August 14, 1944, the Yamalo-Nenets National District became part of the Tyumen Region.
In 1977, the Yamalo-Nenets National Okrug received autonomous status.
Since 1992, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug has been a subject of the Russian Federation.

Yamal. Arctic. Center of Western Siberia. An outpost of Russia in the harsh Arctic... The inner content of these words, as if in a lens, was focused in itself by the capital of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The modern and beautiful city of Salekhard, which has a 500-year history, is steadily heading into the future.

Salekhard - the capital of Yamal

According to archaeologists, in the place where the capital of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is now located, people built settlements over two thousand years ago.

Subsequently, not far from the mouth of the Poluy River, which flows into the Ob, during the development of the Arctic, the Cossacks built the Obdorsky prison, which gradually turned into a fortress city - one of many in northern Siberia.

In 1595, Obdorsk was formed on the site of the prison, which two centuries later became the volost center of the Tobolsk province.

The inhabitants hunted and fished and were engaged in trade: there were one and a half hundred trading shops for 30 houses. At the beginning of winter, the Obdorskaya winter fair was held here, where furs, mammoth bones, fish and bird feathers were exchanged for flour, cloth, tobacco and alcohol, which were brought here by hundreds of merchants.

In 1933, when Obdorsk became the capital of the YNAO, it was renamed Salekhard, which in Nenets means "Village (in the Nenets language -" village ") on the cape (in the Nenets language -" hard ")".

Geographical position

Geographic coordinates of Salekhard: 66 degrees and 32 minutes north latitude, 66 degrees and 37 minutes east longitude.

Many well-known enterprises and companies operate in the capital of the YaNAO:

• River port;
• fish cannery;
• bakery;
• motor transport enterprise;
• railway and air transport companies;
• representative offices of gold mining, gas and oil companies, including Gazprom and Lukoil - Western Siberia.

The administration of Salekhard also solves the issues of social and economic development of the city.

In 2009, an administrative complex was built on the banks of the Shaitanka River specifically to accommodate the administration.

Population of Salekhard

The Russian population began to appear in Obdorsk at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1897, 500 people lived here, who were engaged in fur hunting, fishing and trade.

At the end of the 20th century, when the mass development of the Yamal lands began, the population of the capital of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug began to grow rapidly. Today, Salekhard has a population of 45 thousand people.

People come here to work on gas and oil rigs. Scientists, teachers, doctors are coming. Not only a good "northern" salary, but also the romance of the Arctic Circle attracts many to Salekhard. The population of indigenous origin is the Khanty and Nenets, or Samoyeds. These are surprisingly laconic and modest people with a traditional way of life, an original culture, interesting customs, rituals, and beliefs.

Many tribes continue to live in the tundra and, like their ancestors, are engaged in fishing, hunting, reindeer herding, and believe in spirits. They wander from pasture to pasture with thousands of herds of deer.

They live in tents built, like many centuries ago, from long poles and deer skins. Boys from the age of four know how to handle a lasso and manage sleds, girls can make fire in a plague and sew national clothes.

The architectural appearance of the city

The ancient city of Salekhard has changed a lot since the time of the Obdorsky prison. Today it has a modern architectural appearance. Intensive housing construction and the construction of new social infrastructure buildings are underway. Old houses after repair were given a look corresponding to the general architectural style. Multi-storey buildings look like a multi-colored palette against the backdrop of an overcast day or white snow. They are painted in juicy, bright, picturesque colors: cherry and blue roofs, green, blue, orange, yellow walls - the color scheme fills the harsh northern city with special warmth, creates comfort.

Many architectural objects are unusual. One of the memorable structures is the Fakel cable-stayed bridge with a single pylon. Here is a restaurant, right above the water surface of the Shaitanka River.

The capital of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug peacefully treats any religions. This is evidenced by the fact that Orthodox churches and a mosque coexist on the territory of the city, which is closest to all other mosques in Russia located to the Arctic Circle.

Next to it is the construction of the Cathedral of the Transfiguration.

The first stone church in Salekhard is the Peter and Paul Cathedral, built in 1894. Snow-white walls, light blue towers, golden domes with crosses - under the low polar sky against the backdrop of the endless tundra and the river, the building seems airy, looking up.

The sculptural world of Salekhard

The sculptural world of Salekhard is unusual. There are a large number of monuments dedicated to animals that embody the sacred spirits of the indigenous people of Yamal:

• Near the ferry there is a 10-meter mammoth. More than 40 extinct mammoths have been found in the north of Siberia, among them are the Yamal mammoths Masha and Lyuba.
• On the embankment of the Shaitanka River there is a six-meter monument to the reindeer - the main wealth of the tundra, a symbol of goodness and immortality.
• The bypass road is crowned by a sculptural composition dedicated to the Siberian Cranes - white Siberian cranes, a sacred bird of the indigenous peoples of the North, bringing happiness to everyone who sees it.
• Near the cinema "Polaris" perched a small sculpture - a dragonfly immortalized in stainless steel.
• In the center of the waiting room at the Salekhard airport, tundra swans seem to be trying to take off - a symbol of returning to their native lands.
• Near the building of the Arktika hotel, a she-bear with a bear cub, carved from granite, represents a 10-ton composition "Constellation".
• At the airport, two bears froze on snow-covered ice floes. They support the "Coat of arms of Yamal in the crown" shield. This is a vivid image of the connection between people and nature in the Arctic.
• The entrance to Salekhard is marked by a stele of the same name depicting the inhabitants of the water, heavenly and terrestrial spaces of the Arctic coast: gulls, walruses and bears reflect the natural world of Yamal.

"Tundra, you call me from a distance..."

The capital of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is a special world.

In winter, these are hundreds of snowflakes fluttering in the light of lanterns. Snow crunching underfoot. The flashes of the northern lights are admirable, the flickering of the multi-colored canvas is mesmerizing. The radiant whiteness of the snow dazzles the eyes, on the even white blanket the sun's rays scatter sparks...

In autumn, the tundra stirs the soul, bright, saturated with a short northern summer. It is filled with a subtle bird whistle, a barely perceptible bitter smell of wormwood and the taste of lingonberries, sweet and sour with a slight taste of bitterness ...

Purple thickets of willow-tea. Dwarf birches and touching Christmas trees. Blue-blue lakes and rivulets scattered across the tundra. A leaden sky with low heavy clouds, as if pressed down to the ground. The steel-colored expanse of the river ...

The air is transparent and crystal clear - it is impossible to breathe. The nature of the North is majestic and laconic.

For everyone who is going to Yamal for the first time, a few brief tips may come in handy:

• Aerosols and other mosquito repellents and maximally closed clothing - protection against rampant mosquitoes and annoying midges.
• Waterproof shoes are the best shoes for the swampy tundra.
• The tundra hospitably opens its arms to everyone, and you need to treat it in such a way as not to injure it with your presence. Since ancient times, the traditional footwear of the northern peoples has been made in such a way as not to damage the soil cover, not to harm the northern nature, which generously endows everyone: reindeer with reindeer moss, people with mushrooms and berries, and sometimes it takes centuries to restore strength and natural wealth.

Salekhard, Russia, Arctic Circle - a world where nature is strict and majestic, and people are open and hospitable.
