Cities of the Smolensk region by population

Smolensk - regional center

The annual outflow is approximately 30 thousand people. In the list of cities with problematic demographics, Smolensk ranks high. Young people en masse are trying to move closer to the capital or are leaving there to make ends meet. Smolensk residents have a choice of several higher educational institutions, about 10 state ones, and there are also specialized secondary schools. There are clearly no problems with overcrowding in the city. But people are constantly indignant at the actions of the authorities, who are deforesting and do not care about roads and housing and communal services. We have already become accustomed to constant interruptions in hot water and heating. The situation is even worse with the roads. Many people began to buy cars, which in no way contributes to comfortable traffic. Large buses are rare; they are massively replaced by minibuses, which have to be crowded into. Like large cities, during rush hour Smolensk gets up for long hours.

Smolensk used to have excellent tram service. The tracks were dismantled, but an alternative option was never provided to the population. The paradox of the municipality’s actions is to provide the city with a fleet of trams and trolleybuses, but there is no action to establish the infrastructure necessary for these types of transport. That’s why now everyone has switched en masse to minibuses.

Smolensk does not have enough kindergartens, there are enough schools. Many families have little hope that their child will be able to go to kindergarten for free before going to school. Densely populated areas (Kiselevka) suffer from overdevelopment. This leads to problems in schools, which, although they have places, are overcrowded. There are few companies where you can get a job. OSRAM and the Kristall enterprise are considered the most prestigious. The latter made Smolensk famous throughout the country with its exclusive products encrusted with diamonds. Smolensk remains an important railway junction, and there is also a railway station specializing in government contracts. For the female part of the population there is a knitting factory and large retail chains.

Vyazma is a large railway junction

Vyaza has experienced many troubles, and is now on the verge of a demographic crisis. For more than 10 years there has been a constant outflow of people. Despite the presence of a large number of enterprises, many tend to leave because they do not see the proper prospects. The presence of tourist attractions also does not help the city develop. At the same time, there are several educational institutions that are still functioning.

On the contrary, a number of important universities have been closed in recent years. Among them are a branch of the Russian International Academy of Tourism, a branch of the Industrial University of Moscow of State Significance, and the Humanitarian University. There are kindergartens, a football club, and a dozen secondary schools. The presence of local hospitals helps the population, although there are shortages of staff and equipment.

Roslavl is small in every sense

The population density of the city of Roslavl may surprise even residents of million-plus cities. Over 1100 people per sq. km is an impressive figure. The development of industry has led to a stable influx of qualified personnel. There are several plants and factories here specializing in the repair of wagons, production of oil and glass products.

The largest industrial enterprise is represented by an automobile component plant. The population can also find work here in the agricultural sector. Roslavl has enterprises engaged in the food and processing industries. Roslavl is a major transport hub. Each of its residents can easily use the services of railway transport, which goes to cities such as:

• Saint Petersburg;
• Smolensk;
• Sochi;
• Bryansk;
• Novorossiysk;
• Kaliningrad and others.

Buses also run between cities. In total, Roslavl has 15 routes. There are more than 50 buses available to the population, but many of them are in very poor condition. They are compensated by comfortable minibuses. There are many private carriers as well as various cargo taxi options. There are 10 secondary schools, an Orthodox gymnasium in the city, and there is the opportunity to receive additional education at a music school aimed at children. Children can also attend youth sports schools and a children's art academy.

There is an electrical machine-building plant on the territory of the city. There is a large complex for the production and development of plastics. Safonovo is an interesting example of a city that was able to begin to rapidly develop thanks to coal deposits. The population is also provided with public transport. There are railway tracks, trains, and bus services that allow you to get to Moscow and travel between districts of the city.
