Deputatsky (Russian: Депута́тский; Yakut: Депутатскай) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Ust-Yansky District in the Sakha Republic, Russia, located in the Nemkuchansky Range, about 930 kilometers (580 mi) north-northeast of Yakutsk, the capital of the republic. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 2,983.[5]

Geography

Deputatsky is spread out along a 10-kilometer (6.2 mi) section of the Oyun-Unguokhtakh River, up to its mouth on the Irgichyan, which becomes a source of the Uyandina River.

History

It was founded in 1951 as a mining settlement, exploiting nearby deposits of tin, tungsten, and gold. In its early years, its workforce included Gulag prisoners. In 1958, Deputatsky was granted urban-type settlement status.[2] In 1967, it replaced the selo of Kazachye as the administrative center of Ust-Yansky District.

Due to the downturn in the mining industry following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, more than three-quarters of population left during the 1990s. However, mine production continued and the population decline slowed down.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, the urban-type settlement of Deputatsky[1] serves as the administrative center of Ust-Yansky District.[2] As an administrative division, it is incorporated within Ust-Yansky District as the Settlement of Deputatsky.[2] As a municipal division, the Settlement of Deputatsky is incorporated within Deputatsky Municipal District as Deputatsky Urban Settlement.[3]

Transportation

Deputatsky is reachable by road to Ust-Kuyga, 250 kilometers (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.
