Cities with a population of over a million: which settlements are assigned this status

Before considering what million-plus cities there are in Russia for 2022, let's figure out which cities can be classified in this category.

In order for a city to receive the title of a millionaire, its population must exceed one million people within the city limits. In such cities, various resources related to industry, labor, cultural objects, and economic objects are concentrated. Millionaires are the center where people gather, the point of socio-economic development of one or several closely located regions.

First, Moscow and St. Petersburg became cities with millions of people in Russia. This happened around the end of the 19th century. Moreover, the cultural capital of our country received this title for the first time. The rapid growth of urban residents here continued until the revolutionary events that occurred in 1917. The next leap was observed after the introduction of the New Economic Policy; before the Great Patriotic War, over 3.25 million people already lived in the city.

As for Moscow, the growth rate of its population increased in 1712, when the capital was moved here from St. Petersburg. By 1897 the number reached 1 million people. The following years, the number either decreased or increased, under the influence of socio-economic and political factors. The post-Soviet era had a positive impact on population growth, despite the fact that the overall dynamics of the country's growth was negative.

List of major metropolitan areas located on the banks

In Novosibirsk, which is famous for its museums and architecture, there are defense enterprises, metallurgical companies, and machine-building plants that produce turbogenerators for power plants built in different countries of the world.

Produced here:

• nuclear fuel;
• sheet metal;
• pipes and profiles;
• aviation complexes.

Novosibirsk supplies sights, telescopes, thermal imagers for the Russian army, produces equipment for oil and gas wells, provides the city with stoves for tram crossings, and residents with clean bottled water and food.

Barnaul, which attracts tourists with its green parks, picturesque embankment, and merchant mansions, is significantly behind Novosibirsk in terms of the number of industrial enterprises.

The city's factories produce:

• motors,
• machines,
• railway carriages,
• building materials,
• coke,
• products.

Investments are made in Barnaul:

• in the tourism industry;
• in agriculture;
• city ​​infrastructure.

The development of Surgut, where 330 thousand people live, is associated with the discovery of new oil and gas fields. The city's industry was created around the production and transportation of hydrocarbons.

The thermal power plant built on the Oka uses local fuel and supplies energy to the Ural District. Surgut enterprises process timber and produce building materials and food products for the needs of the city.

Nizhnevartovsk, next to which the Samotlor field is located, from where the Soviet Union extracted a third of all oil , was included in the list of the richest cities in Russia.

In recent years, many new buildings have been erected here, enterprises producing food, instruments, and a fish processing plant have been put into operation, but 80% of the city’s industry is hydrocarbon production.

Salekhard is the only capital of the district and a city that arose on the Arctic Circle . It lags significantly behind Surgut, Nizhnevartovsk, and Barnaul in terms of area, population and development. The former regional village lies among endless tundra, and can be reached by ferry or plane.

Despite the harsh climate, the absence of highways and railways, construction materials, wooden parts, and gold are mined in Salekhard.
