Yanranay (Russian: Янранай) is a rural locality (a selo) in Chaunsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located just to the west of Pevek. Population: 217 (2010 Census);[5] [6] Municipally, Yanranay is subordinated to Chaunsky Municipal District and is incorporated as Yanranay Rural Settlement.[3]

History

Yanranay was founded in 1954[10] or 1960[10][12] when several formerly nomadic enterprises were grouped together to form kolkhozes (collective farms). The Chukchi who live here originally came from Cape Shelag, to the north.[10] Modern Yanranay is a typical ethnic Chukotkan village, consisting of one- or two-story houses, with basic facilities including a school, stores, a library, and a House of Culture.[10] The name for the village translates from the Chukchi as "Solitary Mountain" as the settlement is at the foot of a mountain of the same name.[13]

Change in municipal status

Prior to October 2010, Yanranay served as the administrative center of Yanranay Rural Settlement—a municipal division of Chaunsky Municipal District. On October 20, 2010, Yanranay Rural Settlement was abolished with its territory merged into Pevek Urban Settlement. As an inhabited locality, however, the status of Yanranay remains unchanged.
