Ugolnye Kopi (Russian: Угольные Копи, lit. coal mines) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Anadyrsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located northwest of the town of Anadyr, on the opposite side of the Anadyr River. It served as the administrative center of Anadyrsky District until June 2011. Population: 3,368 (2010 Census);[5] 3,863 (2002 Census);[7] 12,357 (1989 Census).[8]
It is a mainly mining town that also hosts the region's main airport.
History
Ugolnye Kopi was founded at the beginning of the 20th century to provide accommodation and facilities for those working in or administering the nearby mines, hence the name,[9] and later to provide the same services to those working in the air industry at the local airport.
Demographics
The settlement is situated on the road between the Ugolny Airport and Shakhtyorsky. Unlike a large number of settlements in the region, Ugolnye Kopi's demographics is mainly Caucasian. The Red Cross reports that only eighty-four people in the settlement are of indigenous origin;[10] the remainder are of Slavic origin.[9] This is as a result of the settlement's reason for existence being to provide accommodation and services to the local miners, servicemen, and aircraftmen, rather than it initially being an indigenous settlement that was turned into a collective farm such as Chuvanskoye. In 2005, it was reported that of the 3,562 people living in Ugolnye Kopi, only 93 of them were of indigenous origin.[11]
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of municipal divisions, the settlement is incorporated as Ugolnye Kopi Urban Settlement.[3]
Culture and facilities
The settlement houses all district institutions and several military units. There are various stores, a post-office, a library, a hostel for children, the District Center of Children's Art, a youth sports school, a daycare center, Chukotka Economic Lyceum, a high school, the Municipal Center of Education, and a cultural center.[10]
The settlement is also home to the main airport in the autonomous okrug, Anadyr Ugolnye Airport. This is the main transport hub for the region offering vital links to all airports within the district with Chukotavia as well as Alaska through Bering Air, Khabarovsk with Vladivostok Air and Moscow with Transaero Airlines.[12][13] In summer if you land at the airport and wish to get to Anadyr, then a ferry crossing is necessary however, winter arrivals can use the ice road across the Anadyr River straight to the town.[9]
Future
It is hoped that in the near future, the settlement's reliance, along with that of Anadyr Ugolnye Airport and Shakhtyorsky, on electricity generation by diesel fuel generator has been weakened as in 2003, power cables were finally laid across the water from the Anadyr power station to these settlements. The use of natural gas as basic fuel will allow for the considerable improvement of the ecological situation in the Okrug by decreasing the level of emissions in the atmosphere during coal utilization. Hence the cost of power will drop, and reliability and quality of power supply will be higher.[14]
Climate
Ugolnye Kopi has a Tundra climate (ET)[15] because the warmest month has an average temperature between 0 and +10 °C (32 and 50 °F).
