Khanty-Mansiysk on the map of Russia. Where is it located, city attractions, photos

A little about Khanty-Mansiysk

Khanty-Mansiysk on the map of Russia is located in Siberia. The total population of the district is 1.5 million people. Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug is included in the list of the most numerous autonomous okrugs in Russia.

Khanty-Mansiysk was founded on December 10, 1930 and was called Ostyago-Vogulsk, because of the residence of northern peoples called “Ostyaks” and “Voguls” in this area. In 1940, the peoples were named “Khanty” and “Mansi”, and the city was named Khanty-Mansiysk.

It is located at the confluence of two Siberian rivers called the Irtysh and Ob, and occupies almost 40 thousand hectares of land. The population of the city is 100 thousand people, of which no more than 10 thousand are indigenous people “Mansi” and “Khanty”.

Khanty-Mansiysk on the map of Russia is surrounded by forests, small lakes and rivers on an area of ​​more than 500 thousand square meters. km. The climate in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug is brightly continental, with long and harsh winters, with an average temperature of -30 degrees. Summer is short and warm, with sharp frosts, with an average temperature of +18 degrees. For almost 200 days, from October to April, the ground is covered with a half-meter layer of snow.

Great guide to the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Ugra

Endless taiga, lakes, wide rivers, birch trees of bizarre shapes growing in swamps, white nights in summer and an amazing low sky. The Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra is a region of contrasts, where megacities coexist with the ancestral lands of the Khanty and Mansi, who lead their lives according to centuries-old traditions. The Tutu travel service, together with the Ugra Development Fund, has prepared a large guide to the region: where to live, what to eat and how to have fun in the region.

How to get to Khanty-Mansiysk

Khanty-Mansiysk on the map of Russia is located almost 3 thousand km from Moscow.

There are several ways to get to it:

Districts and real estate of Khanty-Mansiysk

From the north, the city borders on the many kilometers of the Ob floodplain; from the south, the Irtysh serves as its border. The oldest district is the historical part - Samarovo. The main part of the city is located on the other side of Samarovskaya Mountain, or chugas, as it is called here. New development is taking place in different areas of the city. The youngest microdistricts can be called Yuzhny and Gidronamyv, built on fill soils in the Irtysh floodplain.

There is no official division into administrative districts in Khanty-Mansiysk; established informal names are used for orientation: Samarovo, Rybnikov, Geophysics, campus, TsRM, OMK and so on.

The center is considered to be the area of ​​Engels, Mir, Chekhov, Kalinin, Dzerzhinsky streets. The main streets radiate from the central square of the city, where the local “white house” is located - the government building of the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug. The center was built up at different times, so here you can see those buildings that can be called elite houses, and wooden houses built in the 60-70s, and private buildings of all kinds - from old wooden houses to cottages. However, not much remains of the old buildings in the center, although the local “Arbat” - pedestrian Marx Street - will remind you of it with a working water pump, to which residents of neighboring houses go for water.

In the center there are offices of the main government services, Ugra State University, the central shopping complex "Gostiny Dvor", museums, television, a large Orthodox church and much more.

But Khanty-Mansiysk is a small city, so it’s difficult to say exactly where the center ends.

Komsomolskaya Street - almost the center

Engels Street, which ends at the Bypass Road, doesn’t seem to be the center, but the main square is at most a kilometer away. Here, in the area of ​​Sirina and Roznina streets, there is an area that bears the historical name of CRM (central repair shops). The CRM is a motley mixture of very different houses standing quite closely together: old huts in the private sector, townhouses, five-story buildings, wooden two-story buildings and completely new 12-story buildings. The proximity to the center and developed infrastructure make this microdistrict quite attractive for housing.

Samarovo, on the contrary, has fairly clear boundaries and guidelines. It also has its own central square, next to which is the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, rebuilt on the old foundation.

At the top of the mountain above Samarovo stands the “Discoverers of the Ugra Land” stele, which houses a restaurant and an observation deck, but now the building is closed - operation turned out to be too expensive. The top of the stele is considered the highest point in the city. Not far from the square there is a river port and a bus station, located in one modern building.

Stele “Discoverers of the Ugra Land”

Now Samarovo is experiencing a rebirth. A lot is being built here: schools, kindergartens and residential buildings. But still, the architectural appearance of the old part of the city is difficult to determine, because it is too colorful and changes quickly. The brick houses near the river port look very respectable, but in Samarovo there are still a lot of standard wooden two-story houses. Along the slopes, clinging to the mountain, there are many different private houses and cottages. Living in Samarovo is not considered very prestigious. There are problems with the school, the streets are not as clean as in the city center, dilapidated housing, etc. From here you can get to the central part of the city either along Gagarin Street, which is over 4 km long, or along the bypass road and Engels Street.

Between Samarovo and the new Yuzhny microdistrict there are several blocks allocated for private housing construction. It would be hard to call this a “cottage community,” because the residents here are building whatever they can within their budget. Over time, this place may become attractive, but now you can’t say anything special about it.

The Yuzhny microdistrict was built over the past 4-5 years on a previously empty site along Obezdnaya Street. Previously, there was an annually flooded floodplain here, and only modern engineering capabilities and large funds made it possible to build a modern multi-story district on bulk soil. The houses here are of different heights - there are 3-4 storey townhouses, 5-storey buildings, and 12-storey buildings. There is a large lyceum-type school and a kindergarten. Nearby there is a water park, an ice palace, and an Archeopark. The place is now very popular among the townspeople, although not everyone likes the constant wind from the Irtysh.

Irtysh embankment near the river station

The same new microdistrict was built in the north of the city – in the area of ​​the campus. Here, university dormitories are compactly located in small five-story buildings, and a tennis center is nearby. The infrastructure is not yet sufficiently developed, although everything necessary is there.

The area of ​​Dunin-Gorkavich Street is probably considered the most prestigious in Khanty-Mansiysk. This street is several hundred meters long and is lined with low-rise red brick houses, designed in the same style. The apartments are very spacious with large windows and glazed loggias, with high ceilings. Oddly enough, there are no elevators in the buildings, so it is not very clear how comfortable it will be for the aging residents of the upper floors to live there. The great advantage of this microdistrict is its proximity to a beautiful coniferous forest that almost surrounds it. The local areas are spacious, with well-equipped children's playgrounds.

The districts of Uchkhoz and OMK are located somewhat away from the city - new housing, often inexpensive, is also being built in them, where residents of dilapidated housing are resettled.

The real estate market in Khanty-Mansiysk is quite lively and is characterized by two main concepts: “wood” and “capital”, referring, respectively, to wooden housing or to housing built from more solid materials. Prices for one-room apartments on the secondary market vary from 1.7-2 million in wooden houses to 4 million in Dunin-Gorkavich. New housing is estimated to be more expensive - a one-room apartment will cost 3.5-4 million in new areas. Prices for two and three-room apartments are relatively lower. So, three rooms in the center in a permanent house can cost from 6 to 8 million rubles, in a wooden one - from 3.5.

There are practically no rooms on the market, but you can rent a room for 15-18 thousand per month. Renting a good one-room apartment will cost 20-25 thousand rubles, a three-room apartment will cost around 40 thousand. Building plots in the city are offered at high prices from 3-4 million for a plot of 7-10 acres in the center to 1.5 million in the Uchkhoz area. For some, the way out of the impasse of housing problems is to buy a beam (trailer), which can cost up to 1 million rubles.

Climate and ecology of Khanty-Mansiysk

Gagarin Street cuts through the well-preserved taiga massif of Samarovskaya Mountain

The ecological situation in the city is very favorable, because there are no large industrial enterprises here. Since most houses are heated by small gas boilers, this source of pollution can be neglected. Perhaps the main polluter is motor transport, but even here it’s not all that bad – the population is small, and there is not much transit transport. The cleanliness of the air can be judged by the color of the snow - here it remains almost white all winter. More than a third of the city's territory is occupied by parks and natural plantings.

General information and a little history of Khanty-Mansiysk

Khanty-Mansiysk, a small and cozy capital of a huge oil region, is located on the right bank of the great Irtysh, only 20 km from the place where it merges with the equally mighty Ob.

Unlike many Ugra cities, Khanty-Mansiysk, although it has a new name, stands in the old “acquired” and “prayed” place. Once upon a time there was a town of the Ostyak prince Samara. In 1637, Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich sent a family of coachmen to settle here to organize the Yamsk race between Tobolsk and Berezovo, and the Samarov town became Samarovsky Yam. Over time, the pier became increasingly important - Samarovo became a large village that played a significant trading role due to its position in the middle of the road to Berezovo and Surgut from Tyumen and Tobolsk. Already at the beginning of the 19th century, a stone Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built here.

After the organization of the Ostyako-Vogul national district in 1931, it was decided to rebuild its capital - Ostyako-Vogulsk, 5 km from the village of Samarovo, which became part of the new city. The future Khanty-Mansiysk was built by all sorts of unreliable “elements” exiled here for “reforging”. To this day, the indigenous Khanty-Mansi people still call the area of ​​Roznina Street Perekovka. Ostyako-Vogulsk received its current name in 1940, and became a city in 1950.

According to the latest statistics at the beginning of 2014, more than 93 thousand citizens live in Khanty-Mansiysk.

The proximity of modern buildings and private houses is typical for Khanty-Mansiysk. Often built-on floors and trailers in courtyards are rented out to visitors

Now the city is experiencing a real baby boom - the natural increase is one of the highest in the country (14 children per year per thousand population). Also, the population continues to grow due to visitors from different regions - Kurgan, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk regions, Bashkiria, Tatarstan and others. Many come here to work from the Asian republics of the former USSR. By the way, the indigenous inhabitants of the district - the Mansi, Khanty and Nenets - are not often seen here.

Architecture, sights

Wooden buildings from the 1930s have been preserved.

Near Khanty-Mansiysk there is an open-air museum “Torum-Maa” (architecture of the peoples of the north).

In the Khanty-Mansiysk region, natural monuments are the Valley of Streams, Samarovsky Hill (Ust-Irtysh Mountain).

Winter tourism

If your visit to Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug falls in the winter period from December to March, it is worth visiting the main event of the season - “Ice Town”. For 12 years, on New Year's Eve in Khanty-Mansiysk, a huge “Ice City” has been built on the central square.

The artist Pavel Verkhonostsev came up with the idea and brought it to life. From huge blocks of ice, craftsmen cut and carve sculptures of animals and fairy-tale characters, and pour huge slides 4 m wide and up to 40 m long.

If the winter is not very cold and there is not enough ice on the river, the frame of the slide is made of wood, then fastened together and filled with water. The opening of the “Ice Town” with the solemn procession of Father Frosts and Snow Maidens takes place on the 10th of December.

Infrastructure condition

Living in Khanty-Mansiysk in modern houses is very comfortable - they are perfectly adapted to Siberian frosts. Plastic windows and balcony glazing are installed as standard in all new houses. The radiators are always hot, because instead of district boiler houses and long heating mains running from them, there are small automatic gas boiler houses everywhere that heat one or more neighboring houses. Such boiler rooms are located next to the house or on its roof, take up almost no space and can be easily dismantled when they are no longer needed.

Water supply can serve as a source of pride for the Khanty-Mansi people. The local water supply system supplies homes with the purest water purified using modern technologies without the use of chlorine. The water is soft - it leaves almost no scale in kettles and no sediment on plumbing fixtures.

The stoves in new houses are also often gas, which is convenient because gas is cheap. Electricity meters everywhere are installed with two tariffs, which also makes it possible to save money.

New house on Ledovaya Street in the Gidronamyva area

In general, in a new apartment the owner will find not one meter, but 4-5: for gas, cold and hot water, for heat and electricity. Gas and electricity are paid separately - the most convenient way to do this is through an ATM or the Internet. The bill for all other utilities in a one-room apartment will be from 2,500 rubles. If the service company takes into account the readings of heat meters, then you will have to pay less, because the radiators can be easily adjusted to the desired temperature. In old and dilapidated housing, not everything can be so rosy - there are still houses with stove heating, water from a pump and with latrines on the streets. What can we say about trailers and garage superstructures poorly adapted for housing, but people live there too.

There are still a lot of such houses in Khanty-Mansiysk

The city authorities are doing a lot to improve the street road surface. Local road and municipal services maintain a large fleet of special equipment for cleaning and repairing streets, so the roadway is in good or even excellent condition, which often cannot be said about sidewalks. They may be completely absent, lined with humpback tiles (hello Moscow!), or partially destroyed. The snow on the sidewalks of many streets is not removed before the snow begins to melt, and a lot of snow also accumulates in the courtyards.

Many Khanty-Mansiysk residents drive their own cars, but there are almost no traffic jams, unless you call it a traffic jam when driving not at the first traffic light, but at the next one. This picture can indeed be observed during rush hour, at the beginning and end of the working day.

Public transport can be safely given a 4 – the traffic is regular, on schedule, but the intervals are still long. This is especially noticeable in cold weather. In addition to several bus routes, there are quite a few minibuses. A regular taxi is also available to most residents - the prices are not high.

Although kindergartens are being built in Khanty-Mansiysk, the provision of preschool institutions is a sore point for young families. It is possible to place a child in kindergarten on a first-come, first-served basis at 3-4 years of age, or it may not be possible at all. The usual way out of this situation is to hire a nanny, an unusual one is to enroll the child in a rural kindergarten in the village of Shapsha, which is 20 km from the city. And this happens.

This high-tech building is a kindergarten

There are 15 schools in the city, all of them are quite large, but they, apparently, will soon not be enough - children grow up quickly.

What to bring from Khanty-Mansiysk

The best gift brought from Khanty-Mansiysk is a local household item or a national souvenir:

• Local residents are famous for sewing leather and fur products. As a souvenir, you can buy a colorful hat or fur vest in the store. Untas are national fur winter shoes that can withstand frosts down to -50 degrees, pimas are felt boots made from felted sheep wool, rovdugs are national summer shoes made from reindeer skin.
• Craftsmen weave funny rhizomes (like baskets) of various shapes and sizes from cedar roots and grass. They are used as boxes and caskets. Various jewelry and souvenirs are made from wood and bones, using fur and beads.

Khanty-Mansiysk is an amazing city, the local traditions and nature of which are very different from the traditions and nature of central Russia.

But, despite the distance on the map, traveling along this route will leave an unforgettable impression.
