To find out the advantages and disadvantages of Novorossiysk, you should read reviews about it from those who have moved and those who have lived there for a long time. The opinions of those who came to Novorossiysk to relax will not hurt either.

Taking into account the points of view of many people, you can form your own judgment and understand whether it is worth choosing a city to move to, whether it will be comfortable to live and raise children in it.

General information about Novorossiysk

Novorossiysk is conveniently located on the shore of Tsemes Bay. This place was first appreciated by the Greeks. They organized the first settlement here, calling it Bati. This happened at the very beginning of our era.

The strategically attractive place was taken away from the Greek settlers by the nomadic Alans. They, in turn, were pushed out by the Turks, who founded the Sujuk-Kale fortress here.

The Russians, who had been fighting the Turks for centuries, in 1838 organized a military administration on the shore of Tsemes Bay.

In the 18th century, Russia built its fortifications here. The settlement of Novorossiya was formed around them. In 1839, it received the name it still bears today – Novorossiysk.

Soon it was established as a city, which later became the center of the Black Sea province. But before that, during the Crimean War, it was destroyed and then rebuilt.

In 1882, the first cement plant was launched here. A little later, in 1888, a railway was built. These are precisely the factors that formed today's Novorossiysk - a developed industrial and resort city with modern infrastructure.

Education of the city

But not everything was so smooth, the aborigines of these places - the Caucasian tribes, stood up to defend “their lands” from the “infidels”. Many Russians died in skirmishes with warlike Caucasians; in addition, soldiers, unaccustomed to the local climate, wasted away and fell ill.

The command decided to strengthen the coast and build roads between the fortifications; General Nikolai Raevsky was appointed to lead the construction (later the village of Raevskaya would be named after him).

Nikolai Nikolaevich Raevsky (1801-1843) - Russian general from the Raevsky family, commander of the Black Sea coastline, founder of a number of North Caucasian fortresses, including Novorossiysk

On September 12, 1838, 11 ships under Russian flags solemnly entered the bay, and 6,000 people landed on the shore. The ships were commanded by Vice Admiral Mikhail Lazarev, and General Raevsky and Rear Admiral Serebryakov were with him. The Caucasian tribes, without showing the slightest resistance, chose to leave these places. This date is now officially considered the birthday of Novorossiysk. And already in January 1839, an order was issued to assign the fortification the status of a city called Novorossiysk.

Climatic features of Novorossiysk

There are not many cities in the Russian Federation with a temperate subtropical climate. Novorossiysk is one of them. Even in winter, the temperature here rarely drops below 0.

On average, the lowest temperatures are observed here in January – up to +2.3°C. The hottest month is July, the average temperature is +23.7°C. During the daytime, the air often warms up to +40°C.

Sea temperature

The temperature of sea water in the winter months does not fall below +7°C. Beach lovers also swim in winter. In summer the water warms up to +28°C.

Beginning in August, seaspouts can often be seen here. Some of them also go ashore. A little later, from September, Nord-Ost dominates the city and its environs; the wind causes discomfort to people until May. Sometimes its speed reaches 105 km per hour.

Ecology

You can learn about the unfavorable ecology of Novorossiysk not only from reviews. For many years, cement factories have been releasing tons of dust into the region's atmosphere, polluting it.

The authorities obliged enterprises to install nano-filters. That was what was done, but the situation did not save. The characteristic white dust can be seen everywhere. It is especially noticeable in the eastern part of the city, where it covers the road, houses, trees and other objects.

Another unfavorable factor for the environment is the largest Russian port. Dump trucks from all over the country come to this important transport hub.

Smog caused by exhaust fumes has become a normal phenomenon for the populated area.

The environmental situation is especially depressing in the summer, when the asphalt in Novorossiysk melts from the heat. Numerous oil bases further aggravate the situation.

There is a lot of greenery in Novorossiysk, but it is not able to protect it from harmful fumes. The wind doesn't help the situation either.

The city is recognized as taking 46th place in the ecology list. And according to this indicator, in 2022 it is no different from other settlements in the central part of Russia. It’s not worth coming here for fresh sea air.

The Great Patriotic War

From the very first days, factories from the western part of Russia began to be evacuated to the city, the city’s industry was put on a war footing. But in the summer of 1942, the Germans approached Novorossiysk itself.

As a result of fierce battles, the enemies manage to capture the western part of the city, and a long and bloody confrontation begins, lasting 393 days. No one wanted to give in, but in the end our forces prevailed over the fascist evil spirits. In 1973, Novorossiysk deservedly received the title of hero city. There are a lot of memorial places in the city dedicated to military actions.

Population of Novorossiysk: official information

In 2022, the following nationalities live in the city:

• Russians;
• Ukrainians;
• Tatars;
• Greeks;
• Armenians, etc.

The most numerous ethnic groups are named. The most active are the Greek and Armenian diasporas. According to the latest census, there are 270,774 people living here. This is very little by Russian standards.

Permanent residents were enumerated in the winter of 2022, since many tourists come in the summer, which makes calculations problematic.

In Novorossiysk, there is a positive growth trend associated not only with the birth rate, but also with immigration. The last factor is the most significant, since with an increase in the birth rate, the mortality rate also increases annually.

Novorossiysk is a city of young people, 65% of the residents are able-bodied people, about 18% are minor children, and 17% are elderly people.

Post-war life of the city

Few surviving buildings remained in Novorossiysk after a year of terrible fighting. The country's authorities decided to rebuild the city; the city's architect was Boris Iofan.

Today the city is the largest seaport in Russia, the center of the cement industry, and one of the largest transport hubs in our country.

The entire rich history of the city is reflected in a huge number of memorable places - this is Heroes Square near the seaport, and the Central Street of Soviets, and the beautiful embankment.

If we move away from official data and switch to reviews, many note the affordability of buying a home.

The city administration is determined to increase the population. Visitors are welcome here, especially those who are ready, together with local residents, to boost the economy of the locality and do everything to improve the quality of life in it.

A healthy lifestyle is actively promoted. The city has many sports and training grounds, bicycles and scooters for rent.

Water supply

The problem with the city's water supply has existed for many years. Water in houses according to schedule, receiving water from imported tanks is familiar to all residents.

In summer there is little rain, the reservoir becomes very shallow. The water supply system that serves the city is old and accidents occur frequently. People install water storage tanks in their homes.

Power of the Soviets

The beginning of the 20th century marked revolutionary sentiments in society. In industrial cities, revolutionary movements were especially active. Everyone took part in the strikes - from a longshoreman to an “advanced” high school student. Novorossiysk did not escape unrest either - it became one of the first cities in which Soviet power was established. The Novorossiysk Republic was proclaimed in the city. True, its life was short-lived - two weeks later, after punitive detachments arrived in the city, the Soviets dissolved themselves.

After these events, power in the city changed frequently - either passed into the hands of the Bolsheviks, or to the commander of the Volunteer Army. As a result, after much hesitation, Soviet power was finally established in the city.

The Crimean War is a sad page of history

1853 is the date of the beginning of the Crimean War, which was very difficult for Russia. Our country was opposed by a powerful coalition of several European states. At the beginning of 1855, the enemy squadron approached the shores of Novorossiysk. The Russian fleet at that time was completely blocked in Sevastopol , while the coastal guns had a very short range. Therefore, the command made the only correct decision at that time: while the enemy was firing from afar with destructive fire along the coastline, all our guns were silent. When, confident of complete victory, the enemy troops approached closer to the shore, our guns hit them with all their might. Taken by surprise, the enemy ships chose to urgently retreat. This battle was won by us.

Criminal situation

No matter where in the world you go, to live or vacation, it is important to find out what the crime rate is in the city of your choice. Novorossiysk cannot be called prosperous in this regard.

This is one of the places in the Russian Federation where more crimes are committed than in the capital. Main problems:

• drug trafficking;
• arms trade;
• burglary;
• real estate.

The latter should be taken into account if you are going to buy a house, apartment or land. “Black” realtors operate on a par with normal licensed realtors.

You should check the availability of the necessary constituent documents and monitor the company's reputation.

The fight against crime has been quite successful in recent years. However, the city still cannot be considered prosperous.

Reviews from those who moved to Novorossiysk

Lera moved to Novorossiysk in 2016.

I like Novorossiysk. I didn’t notice any dust from the cement plant. Where is she not? The environment in any city is not very good. Of course it’s hot in the summer, but it’s better than the cold of 9 months. The people are friendly. I don’t like that trees are being cut down and everything is being built up with high-rise buildings. The quality of housing is poor and prices are very high.

Vladimir moved from Saratov.

One of the biggest disadvantages is the problem with water. Especially in the southern region. If the developer promises you that there will be water for 24 hours, do not believe it. This problem is unlikely to be solved in the coming years. Hospitals, schools, kindergartens are overcrowded, built in the USSR. They only build houses. Ideal if you work remotely. Salaries here are small.

Sergey moved from St. Petersburg.

I've been living here for 6 years. There are problems, but everything can be solved if you find a normal job. The quality of the products is better and the prices are lower than in St. Petersburg. Nature is beautiful. Warm. The beaches are of course crowded in summer and public transport is old.

Oksana moved from Ufa.

We live in the Southern region with 2 children. We drive our children to school through traffic jams; there are not enough schools. The clinic has long queues and constant problems with water. We want to return to our homeland.

Lyudmila moved from Vladivostok.

We live in the Primorsky district. We have the 1st floor, column. There is always water. We buy vegetables and meat only at the market. Prices are the same as everywhere else in chain stores. We go to a sanatorium in Anapa. In winter, you can get treatment for 15,000 rubles. We really like the city and don’t regret moving. The people are friendly.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms of Novorossiysk is presented in the form of a golden French shield, topped with a golden tower crown with five teeth. Above the black wavy tip with 5 crests is a double-headed eagle (of the same color). He is crowned with the Imperial crown. The creature holds a scepter and an orb in its paws. On his chest is a red shield with a gold Orthodox eight-pointed cross. It is mounted on a silver overturned crescent.

The artistic composition was approved by decision of the City Duma No. 180 of February 21, 2006. Included in the State Heraldic Register of the Russian Federation under No. 2213.
