NORILSK RUSSIA - The Most Depressing City in the World
I found that the internet has just discovered an unlikely place that has a story that must be told, as the most depressing city in the world. Could you ever guess if you haven’t seen the title of this video? We are referring to none other than the city of Norilsk. Yes, there might be a lot of subjective factors that could cause a city to be described as depressing or the most depressing. That's why you shouldn't take it too personally if your favorite place is dubbed the most depressing town or city in the world. But really, what makes Norilsk the most depressing city in the world? Let me start this by telling a bit about Norilsk.
Where is Norilsk?
Norilsk Norilsk, is a city in the Krasnoyarsk Krai region of Russia. The city is located some 186 miles (or 300 kilometers) north of the Arctic Circle and 1,491 miles (or 2,400 kilometers) of the North Pole. The city in the south of the western Taymyr Peninsula is also around 55 miles (or 90 kilometers) east of Yenisey River and 932 miles (or 1,500 kilometers) north of Krasnoyarsk.
With its last known population of more than 180,000, it is the second most populous city inside the Arctic Circle. This city in the largest country in the world occupies an area of 10 square miles (or 23.16 square kilometers). It’s 40 miles (or 64 kilometers) away from the port city of Dudinka. It’s the most depressing city in the world.
Norilsk in the Past
What most people would readily know about this city, which seems to be a distant land from the main world, is that it was founded less than 100 years ago. However, it all started back for Norilsk in the 1840s back then when Alexander von Middendorff, a zoologist and explorer of Baltic German and Estonian extraction found a local coal deposit on the land not far from the Putorana Mountains. As of 1860, coal deposits were being called Norilsk and became synonymous with the location of the city. That was how the area got its name.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t founded before 1935/36 when USSR constructed a huge extraction complex in the same Putorana Mountains using nearly 500,000 forced laborers. These laborers almost made up of Gulag prisoners, worked for almost 20 years in permafrost. Imagine that! Working in a permanently frozen land which was not a suitable condition for such work, or any kind of physical work for that matter! Consequently, 18,000 construction workers died in horrible conditions. We can infer from this the depressing condition of this city didn’t just start today. It has been a depressing place all through its existence, only that the world had not focused on Norilsk until recent developments.
Norilsk Today
Following the fall of the Soviet Union, the city became the leading producer of nickel and palladium in the world. Today, the city is the location of the biggest copper-nickel palladium deposits known on the planet. What is more, a fifth of the world’s nickel is derived from the city. This valuable element that is resistant to corrosion is so crucial that more than half of the total global palladium is used in jewelry and car exhausts.
This is the business of almost everyone in the city. Okay, let’s say at least 60 percent of the population. As everyone was somehow connected to this business, it has become the major source of employment and a good income for households in and for the city. Unfortunately, this kind of business that is too unkind to the environment is enough to make living in the city depressing.

Norilsk-Russian: Нори́льск, is an industrial city in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, located above the Arctic Circle, east of the Yenisei River and south of the western Taymyr Peninsula. It has a permanent population of 175,000.
It is the world's northernmost city with more than 100,000 inhabitants and the second-largest city (after Murmansk) inside the Arctic Circle. Norilsk and Yakutsk are the only large cities in the continuous permafrost zone.
Norilsk was founded at the end of the 1920s, but the official date of founding is traditionally 1935, when Norilsk was expanded as a settlement for the Norilsk mining-metallurgic complex and became the center of the Norillag system of Gulag labor camps. It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1939 and town status in 1953.[10]

🇷🇺 Places That Don't Feel Real In Russia #travel #nature #viral
Norilsk in Russia's Siberia is The Coldest City in The World with - 55°C Temperatures
In Norilsk, Siberia, which is situated 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the average annual temperature is -10C. The cold period extends for about 280 days per year, with more than 130 days featuring snowstorms. The extreme weather conditions result in anxiety, nervousness, drowsiness and depression for many residents. Isolated, polluted and – above all – cold, it is a city built on misery and blood. It is also a city of surprising wealth – the reason for its unlikely existence. Norilsk, squatting 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle, has the largest deposits of nickel, copper and palladium on earth and its hellish mines are thriving. Gulag prisoners began expanding the Siberian settlement in 1935 and over the next 20 years, 500,000 slaves took part in its construction. Thousands lost their lives. Today, Norilsk is the northernmost city on earth and still a place of extremes. The average temperature is -10C, reaching -55C in the endless winter. There are two whole months of polar night, when people endure near total darkness, and Norilsk is encased in snow for eight to nine months a year. Despite this, the city now has 170,000 residents. Russian photographer Elena Chernyshova spent several weeks there for her project: Days Of Night- Nights Of Day and her pictures show a normal life of sunbathing, picnics and parties existing alongside a desperate battle to keep warm during bitterly cold spells. It is, for obvious reasons, an indoor place of sports and shopping centres and social gatherings in apartments. Children are often forced to spend several months indoors so the city has large buildings where they can enjoy outdoor activities like cycling and running, even during the winter. During cold spells, a convoy of 15 to 20 buses transport workers around. If one bus breaks down, the passengers can be evacuated to another bus. This column circulates three times a day. Norilsk was first settled in the early 1900s after the discovery of rich mineral deposits, formed 250million years ago, at the foot of the Putorana Mountains. In 1935, the USSR started constructing a metallurgical complex to extract the materials and with this came the wretched columns of prisoners, condemned to a living death in the Arctic wasteland. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 but the city thrived and Norilsk Nickel is now the world leader in production of nickel and palladium. It brings in two per cent of the Russian GDP. But working condition for miners are still bad. The compensation is long holidays – 90 days a year – and retirement at 45. Norilsk is consistently in the top 10 of most polluted cities on Earth. Every year, more than 2 million tons of gas (mainly sulphur dioxide , but also nitrogen oxides, carbon and phenols) are expelled into the atmosphere. Life expectancy is 10 years less than in other regions of Russia, the risk of cancer is two time higher and respiratory diseases are widespread. Some studies show that the air quality is responsible for 37 percent of deaths of child deaths and 21.6 per cent of adult deaths. The polar days and nights cycle also has a strong influence on the human body, which struggles to adapt to such extreme conditions. Darkness causes a reduction in the release of the hormone melatonin, which regulates many functions of the body. This leads to sleep and nervous system problems, constant fatigue, psychological discomfort and depression. A lack of melatonin also aids premature aging of the body and promotes the development of cancer.
Top 10 Russian Cities You Won’t Believe Exist
Top 10 Russian Cities You Won’t Believe Exist...
Get ready to be amazed by our list of the top 10 Russian cities you won't believe exist! From ancient towns to modern marvels, Russia has so much to offer...
1: Norilsk
First up, we have Norilsk, a city so far north that it’s closer to the Arctic than most people can imagine! This is one of the coldest and most isolated cities on Earth, with winter temperatures dropping to a chilling -40°C. Known for its massive nickel mines, Norilsk is a city built on metal and ice, yet it has a thriving community and fascinating resilience. It’s a wonder how life thrives in such extreme conditions.
2: Kazan
Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, is a beautiful blend of Russian and Tatar cultures. Here, the East meets the West with its unique mix of Islamic and Orthodox architecture. The stunning Kazan Kremlin, a UNESCO World Heritage site, stands as a testament to this fusion. If you’re looking for a city that’s rich in history, culture, and diversity, Kazan should be at the top of your list.
3: Yakutsk
Next is Yakutsk, the coldest inhabited city on the planet! Located in Siberia, Yakutsk experiences winter temperatures that plunge to an unimaginable -50°C. Despite its freezing climate, the city is alive with history and culture, famous for its Ice Museum and ancient mammoth fossils. It’s a destination for the brave-hearted, but one you won’t soon forget.
4: Sochi
You may have heard of Sochi, but did you know it’s often called the 'Russian Riviera'? This beautiful city on the Black Sea is a favorite summer destination for Russians. With its palm trees, warm beaches, and vibrant nightlife, Sochi feels more like the Mediterranean than Russia. It’s also home to the 2014 Winter Olympics, proving it’s a city for all seasons!
5: Veliky Novgorod
For history lovers, Veliky Novgorod is a must-see. Often called the 'Birthplace of Russia,' this ancient city dates back to the 9th century and played a vital role in the formation of the Russian state. Its medieval architecture, like the Saint Sophia Cathedral, will transport you back in time, making you feel like you’re walking through the pages of history.
6: Derbent
Derbent is one of the oldest cities in Russia, and it’s nestled on the shores of the Caspian Sea. With over 5,000 years of history, this city served as a strategic gateway between Europe and Asia. Its ancient fortress still stands tall today, offering panoramic views and a glimpse into a city that has stood the test of time.
7: Vladivostok
At the far eastern edge of Russia lies Vladivostok, the country’s Pacific gem. This port city is closer to Japan and Korea than it is to Moscow, making it a unique fusion of Russian and Asian influences. With its iconic bridges, bustling harbor, and vibrant nightlife, Vladivostok is the gateway to Russia’s vast Far East.
8: Kaliningrad
Nestled between Poland and Lithuania, Kaliningrad feels more European than Russian. This exclave is rich in medieval architecture, with cobbled streets and grand cathedrals that reflect its former German roots. Kaliningrad is also famous for its amber—known as the ‘Amber Capital’ of the world, where you can visit the famous Amber Museum and shop for this beautiful gemstone.
9: Murmansk
Murmansk is the largest city in the world above the Arctic Circle and is home to Russia’s northern fleet. This icy port city is a gateway to polar expeditions and is one of the few places where you can witness the magical Northern Lights. Murmansk may be remote, but its beauty is truly otherworldly.
10: Yekaterinburg
Last but not least, we have Yekaterinburg, a city that sits on the border between Europe and Asia. This city is a fascinating blend of modern urban life and historical significance. Yekaterinburg is most famous for being the site of the last days of the Romanovs, but today it’s a thriving hub of culture, industry, and innovation. If you want to stand at the literal crossroads of two continents, this is the place to be!

Exploring Vorkuta - Russian Ghost Town in Arctic | The Most Depressing Town in Russia
Despite the richest coal deposits that gave boost to the development of the city, Vorkuta and the adjacent settlements are rapidly emptying today. The mega project of the Soviet machine was not in demand among the heirs of the empire. Today, some districts of Vorkuta and surrounding villages are abandoned or are about to be completely deserted. How is Vorkuta living today? What's going on around her? What are the prospects for the main coal mining region in the north of Russia? I personally went to the Arctic to answer these questions.

This 😱 remote place in the Far North of Russia #russiatravel #russianwinter
I went to one of the most remote places in the Far North of Russia on snowmobile - plateau Man Pupu Ner. The Manpupuner rock formations (Мань-Пупыг-Нёр) are a set of 7 stone pillars located west of the Ural mountains in the Troitsko-Pechorsky District of the Komi Republic. They are also known as the Seven Strong Men Rock Formations and the Poles of the Komi Republic and included in the list of Seven Wonders of Russia.

The Reality of Life in Russia in 2023
This is our life in Russia in late 2022 / 2023. Traveling to Russia as a westerner has always been difficult, a bureaucratic nightmare, but this year is the first time Matt and I have really had any issues. We arrived in my hometown of Kemerovo, Siberia, after crossing in to Russia at Kaliningrad and flying to Novosibirsk. Once here and staying with my family, we went to register with the local authorities, but everything turned out to be a little complicated to say the least. This is a week in our lives here staying in Siberia as we hang out with my family and prepare for New years eve (the biggest celebration of the year in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and many other former Soviet countries). Welcome to a very cold, wintery Siberia.
