Ust-Yansky District (Russian: Усть-Я́нский улу́с) is an administrative[1] and municipal[3] district (raion, or ulus), one of the thirty-four in the Sakha Republic, Russia. It is located in the north of the republic in the Yana River delta on the coast of the Laptev Sea and borders with Allaikhovsky and Abyysky Districts in the east, Momsky District in the south, Verkhoyansky District in the southwest, and with Bulunsky District in the west. The area of the district is 120,300 square kilometers (46,400 sq mi).[2] Its administrative center is the urban locality (a settlement) of Deputatsky.[2] Population: 8,056 (2010 Census);[5] 10,009 (2002 Census);[9] 41,265 (1989 Census).[10] The population of Deputatsky accounts for 37.0% of the district's total population.[5]

The district was established on January 5, 1967.[8]

Demographics

As of the 1989 Census, the district had a population of 41,265 inhabitants, with an ethnic composition as follows:[8]

However, a great deal of the ethnic Russian population left with the economic downturn following the collapse of the Soviet Union, so much so that the district lost over three-quarters of its population during the 1990s.

In the 2002 census, the indigenous Yakuts again formed a majority of inhabitants, with the total population now just 10,009. In that year, the ethnic composition of the district was:

  • Yakuts: 37.69%
  • Russians: 35.44%
  • Evens: 10.69%
  • Ukrainians: 8.88%
  • other ethnicities: 7.3%

Economy

The main industries are gold mining, reindeer herding, fishing, and fur trade. There are deposits of gold, tin, tungsten, mercury, lead, zinc, and brown coal.[8]
