The Siberian city of Nefteyugansk is famous for its unusual sights. Its ancient history began in 1174 with a small settlement of the Khanty and Mansi. They built yurts, raised deer and led a solitary life. In 1961, a new chapter in the history of the city began. A geological exploration team discovered oil gushers near the village of Ust-Balyk. There was no such abundance of oil in the entire Tyumen region. Black gold gave its name and new life to Nefteyugansk. Today it is a modern, continuously developing city that has preserved the national flavor and culture of the peoples of the north. Tourists here will enjoy an exciting journey through this magnificent corner of Siberia.
Nefteyugansk: what to see first
Among the huge number of attractions in Nefteyugansk, places that embody the history, culture and values of the city stand out. Tourists should give them priority attention.
Ob River Museum
- Address: 9th microdistrict, 28.
The main city museum is dedicated to ethnography. Its main goal is to preserve and share with future generations the cultural heritage of the indigenous people of this harsh region. The museum currently has the following permanent exhibitions:
"Ugra Heritage". The exhibition presents religious objects, household utensils and weapons of the Khanty and Mansi. Tourists will be able to see shamanic drums, lassos, musical instruments, and wool products. Samples of national decorative and applied art are of great interest. Embroidery, bead and wicker weaving, bone and wood carvings amaze the imagination with their beauty and intricacy.
"The nature of the Ob River." An exhibition dedicated to the flora and fauna of the Ob Delta. Here you can see stuffed animals and birds, as well as herbariums. The landscape of a Siberian forest is recreated in individual display cases.
"Pages from the history of navigation on the Ob." The first rafting trips along the Ob were made by the Khanty and Mansi on oblases - nimble wooden boats. But over time, steel ships began to sail along the river, carrying cargo and passengers. This exhibition will tell about the ships, sailors and the difficulties they had to face during their first voyages along the Ob.
The museum also hosts stock and thematic exhibitions dedicated to ethnographic creativity and folklore.
Architectural and sculptural complex "Pioneers"
- Address: Naberezhnaya street.
The large-scale monument was inaugurated in 2012 and has since become the main monument of Nefteyugansk. In the center of the complex stands a pointed stele crowned with the city's coat of arms. On the reverse side of it there are bas-reliefs illustrating oil production and episodes from the history of the region.
On both sides of the stele and directly in front of it there are sculptural groups depicting the pioneers: the detachment of M.I. Vetrov, who discovered the first oil gusher; geologists, chemists and builders who arrived in the city after its founding, as well as a married couple with two children - the first residents of Nefteyugansk.
Sculptor V. Sagsyan conceived the composition so that the viewer could start from any point and move clockwise. Thus, the complex is designed for all-round visibility. The choice of place to install the monument was very successful. The majestic stele rises against the background of the Ob, which gives the whole composition an even greater effect.
Well P63
- Coordinates on the map: 61.063266, 72.622417.
Well R-63 is the place where the first oil gusher hit, which means that modern Nefteyugansk began from here.
Today, on the territory of the well there is a monument dedicated to the industrial development of the Middle Ob region. The composition consists of metal pipes with taps, branching at a height of six meters.
The opening of the monument took place in May 1984, when the city celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the shipment of Ust-Balyk oil to the Omsk oil refinery.
Review on the topic: What to see in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug
The fight for Nefteyugansk. How an oil town almost became a rotational camp
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country's oil complex began to collapse. The fact is that in the early 90s the new government started talking about the ineffectiveness of state property. Industrial ties were collapsing, production was in a critical situation. The only way out, according to ruling circles, was to be large-scale privatization of state property, which also affected the oil sector. Thus, new players in the Russian economy began to emerge from the ruins of the Ministry of Energy. “Oil kings” appeared. But not all northerners welcomed their new owners with open arms. An illustrative example was demonstrated by the Nefteyugans.

People's Mayor
A small northern city with a population of no more than 100 thousand people in those days. Almost half of the residents are employees of Yuganskneftegaz. With the presence in these places of the young, led by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the quiet life ended. The oil king needed to take possession of the oil wealth at all costs, and turn the city itself into an ordinary rotational camp. True, these plans were not destined to come true; the mayor of the city, Vladimir Petukhov, or rather, his shed blood, became an obstacle to selfish goals.
In 1996, Vladimir Petukhov won the local elections and headed Nefteyugansk. However, the path to the mayor's chair was not easy.
— At that time, the leadership of the association, which was entirely subordinate, did not allow the mayoral candidate Petukhov to meet with people. All heads of organizations that are part of Yuganskneftegaz were warned about the ban. Nevertheless, I was one of the first to invite Petukhov to speak to the team. It was on the basis of DRSU, where I worked as the head of asphalt concrete production. During the conversation, we realized that the person really stands up for the working people and for the preservation of the city, and we decided to support him, ” recalls Viktor Fateev, a member of the Union of Veterans of Ugra, chairman of the Nefteyugansk and Nefteyugansk district community.
Having bypassed all the conflicts and gained an overwhelming majority of votes, Petukhov still led the city. His team did a lot, starting to restore order in the city’s trade, improvement and transport system. However, it was difficult to obtain tax payments from the oil company to the city budget. Thus, according to information from the city finance commission, an analysis of the execution of the Nefteyugansk budget for the first half of 1998 showed that YUKOS paid only 4 percent of taxes to the budget from the annual forecast.

Gift for an oligarch
Unable to accept this, Petukhov publishes an appeal to Russian President Boris Yeltsin in the local press, in which he puts forward strict demands, including: initiation of a criminal case for concealing taxes, repayment of accumulated arrears of taxes, fines and penalties, cessation of interference in the activities of local authorities self-government of the city of oligarchs from Rosprom-YUKOS-Menatep, as well as transfer the state stake in OJSC Yuganskneftegaz to pay off debts to Nefteyugansk, Pyt-Yakh, Nefteyugansk district.
Nine days after the publication of this appeal, the people's mayor dies from the killer's bullets.
“It happened on the morning of June 26th. Just on Khodorkovsky’s birthday. Supposedly it was such a gift for him. In the first hours they tried to hide the murder, but people found out anyway and began to flock to the scene of the tragedy. People took it as a personal loss, ” says Viktor Fateev.
A few hours later, residents began to flock to the central square of the city, where the mayor’s office and the Yuganskneftegaz office were located. More than 30 thousand people took part in the spontaneous rally.

To be a city
According to many experts, it was the Nefteyugansk tragedy that became the impetus for the return of oil wealth to state control. Only two years will pass, Vladimir Putin will be elected president of Russia, and he will begin the fight against the oligarchs. Nefteyugansk will say goodbye to the prospect of becoming a rotational camp.

Historical monuments
Despite its young age, the history of the formation and development of Nefteyugansk has its own characteristics and interesting facts. For example, the place where the first settlement of the geological exploration party was previously located is still remembered by residents and is affectionately called “Piglet”.
The impetus for the formation of a large settlement on the site of a geological exploration camp was the famous well R-63, which produced 800 tons of crude oil every 24 hours. On December 18, 1962, this news spread across the Soviet Union, and the whole country learned about the existence of the small village.
Interesting monuments and sculptures:
- The “Youth” stela is the first officially opened monument in the city. The monument represents the youth of the new oil workers' settlement. The stela was erected in honor of the five-year anniversary of the founding of Nefteyugansk in 1973.
- Fans of Russian folk tales will be interested in meeting and taking photos with a number of sculptures dedicated to these works.

Nefteyugansk became one of several cities in which monuments were erected in honor of the 40th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. The sculptural composition was inaugurated on May 9, 1985 and consists of a 10-meter victory star, a statue of a Komsomol soldier and an eternal flame memorial.
- Monuments of modern history include the bronze bust of V. A. Petukhov, the first head of the city, erected in memory of the brutal contract murder of the mayor elected by the people. The sculpture can be seen while walking along Komsomolskaya Alley.
In 1989, the first television studio in the region came into operation and the Yugansk television and radio broadcasting channel began its work.
The central city hospital is equal in age to the city itself. The first medical aid station was opened in 1961. Doctors rightfully consider this date to be the year the Nefteyugansk hospital was founded. It all started with a standard mobile shift trailer. After 4 years, a department was opened that could already accommodate up to 15 bedridden patients. In 1965, the first child was born in the geological village, born in a small hospital. From this moment on, the history of the maternity ward of the future city hospital opens, in which all the mothers of Nefteyugansk will subsequently give birth to their children.
The period of formation of the city took place at the end of the Soviet Union era. It is with this circumstance that local historians associate the absence of a monument to Lenin in Nefteyugansk.
