Vstrechny, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
Vstrechny (Russian: Встречный) is an inhabited locality (an urban-type settlement) in Bilibinsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located about 25 kilometers (16 mi) ENE of Bilibino. Population: 13 (2002 Census),[2] 1,641 (1989 Census).[6] The 2002 census data shows the population to consist of 12 males and 1 female,[2] though this had fallen to only 7 by 2005 according to an environmental impact report prepared on the Kupol mining project.[3]
History
Soviet period
The settlement was originally created like many throughout this part of Chukotka to house the workers and administration of the nearby mines.
Post-Soviet period
When the mines were deemed to be uneconomic, the settlement was abandoned and mostly depopulated by 1996.[7] In 2004, a road was completed linking the settlement with the regional centre, giving hope that the settlement can continue.[7] However, as of 2009, Vstrechny is included in the list of settlements currently in the process of being liquidated.[1]
