Historical sketch

Founded in 1594 (according to other sources, around 1609) on the lands of the Mari-Cheremis as the settlement of Kukarka. The settlement consisted of several courtyards around a wooden church, surrounded by a high palisade and a deep ditch. The main occupation of the residents was agriculture and the supply of grain to Western Siberia. In 1620, the settlement had 63 courtyards, a church, 2 forges, 2 water mills.

In the 18th century Academician G.F. Miller associated the oikonym with the Udmurt kar “city”; in the 20th century it has been suggested that it is connected with slash-and-burn agriculture: the Turkic-Bulgar kukar “burnt out place, burning place.”

In the 18th-19th centuries. Kukarka is a large craft and trade center in the Vyatka province. Carpentry, the manufacture of carts and sleighs, were developed, and flask stone was mined, from which grinding stones, wheels, and millstones were made. Sloboda was famous for lace making (a school of lace makers since 1893), fulling and pottery production.

In 1870, there were 5 churches in the settlement, and there were 65 stone and 75 wooden shops. A power station was built in 1910, and a telephone appeared in 1911.

In 1918, by decision of the Vyatka Provincial Executive Committee, the Kukarka settlement was renamed the city of Sovetsk. However, in 1931 it was listed as the village of Sovetsk. City of Sovetsk since 1937

Number of people living in the capital and regional cities

Kirov is the regional capital. Therefore, residents of villages and villages flock there. According to statistics from 2022, a population of 500,836 people lives in the heart of the Kirov region. But in 2016 the figures were slightly lower – 495,998 people.

The population growth in Kirov is made up of applicants who come from villages, villages or nearby regions during the period of admission to universities. In addition, the number of residents is replenished by the working population who moved to the regional capital.

In 2015, Kirov took 37th place in the ranking of cities by the number of residents (then the indicators were recorded at 493,336 people).

By gender composition: there are more women than men. The percentage is 56%.

In terms of ethnic composition, Russians predominate. They make up 96% of the total number of residents.

In second place in terms of territorial and economic growth is the city of Kirovo-Chepetsk. In terms of population, it also ranks 2nd - 73,279 citizens. However, this figure is slightly lower compared to other years.

Kirovo-Chepetsk is located in 221st place out of 1112 possible in the list of Russian cities by number of residents.

According to its national composition, the city united the following peoples on its territory:

• Russians (95%);
• Tatars (1.5%);
• Udmurts (1.04%);
• Mari (0.23%).

The third largest city in the Kirov region is Slobodskaya. It has a population of 33,115.

And in 4th place is Vyatskie Polyany with a population of 32,817 inhabitants.

Every year, even in large cities of the Kirov region, there is a tendency for the urban population to decrease. And there are two reasons for this: low birth rate and high death rate. As well as the emigration of the indigenous population to more promising cities. This becomes evidence that these localities have weak economic indicators that affect the standard of living of its residents.

Ethnic composition

The ethnic composition is about 100 nationalities. Russians are the predominant nationality, making up more than 90% of the total number of residents.

In second place are Belarusians. There are more than 1000 of them in the region. Next come Armenians, Gypsies, Chuvashs, Germans and natives of Moldova. In the Kirov region the population of these nationalities exceeds 1000 people. Once upon a time, the Komi people also belonged to this group of residents. But in the period from 2002 to 2010. There were significantly fewer residents of this ethnic group, by about 300 people. Thus, they dropped out of the group of nationalities numbering more than 1000 residents.

Approximately 60 other nationalities are classified as small in number: their population in the Kirov region ranges from 1 to 10 people. These include:

• Italians;
• Itelmens;
• Mongols;
• Selkups;
• Shors.

As for the territorial distribution, we can say that the largest number of residents is noted in large regional cities. There you can meet Russians, Belarusians, Armenians, Uzbeks, Georgians, etc. But there are only 29% of Mari in the city. Their largest numbers are in the areas of the Kirov region, or more precisely, in towns and villages.

Population of the region

Until 1934, the city was called Vyatka, so the oldest residents are often called Vyatchans (erroneously Vyatichi).

The population of the Kirov region, according to statistics, is gradually declining. This is due to the fact that young people are leaving their hometowns for Moscow, as well as other large and more promising cities.

Comparing data from 15 years ago (2002) and the 2017 census, one can see that the population of the Kirov region has decreased by almost 300,000 inhabitants.

As of January 1, 2022, calculations showed that 1292.1 thousand people live in the region. In 2016, their number decreased by 5,400. The reason for this significant decline is low birth rates, but the number of registered deaths is 1.2 times higher.
