History
Deputatsky was founded in 1951 as a mining town, exploiting nearby deposits of tin, tungsten and gold. In its early years, its workforce included Gulag prisoners. In 1958 Deputatsky received urban-type settlement status. In 1967, it replaced the village of Kazachye as administrative centre of the Ust-Yansky District.
Due to the downturn in the mining industry following the collapse of the Soviet Union, more than three-quarters of Deputatsky's population left during the 1990s, dropping from 13,305 in 1989 to only 3,602 in 2002. However, mine production continued and the settlement's population has stabilised somewhat.
Infrastructure
Deputatsky is reachable by road to Ust-Kuyga, 250 kilometres (160 mi) away on the Yana River. From there, a winter road (zimnik) leads through Batagay and the Verkhoyansk Range to Topolinoye, from where the Kolyma Highway is accessible.
An unmaintained winter road heads east from Deputatsky down the Uyandina valley to Belaya Gora.
A small airport on the northern edge of the settlement (ICAO-Code UEWD) provides air service.
