Cities by population

Large steels are even larger, small ones are crushed - the main trend last decade.
Population of big cities (with more than 100,000 inhabitants in 2017) in aggregate, over 10 years increased by 5.50 million people, incl. million-plus cities by 3.24 million people. Growth was noted in 115 out of 170 large cities, incl. in all millionaire cities (except Nizhny Novgorod) and in all half-million cities (except Novokuznetsk).

Figure 1. Dynamics of the population of city groups by population in 2007-2017 (in %)

In absolute terms population growth leaders in Russia in 2007-2017 wereMoscow(+1,289 thousand people), St. Petersburg(+701 thousand people) and Novosibirsk(+210 thousand people). From 100 to 200 thousand inhabitants added Tyumen, Krasnodar, Voronezh, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Krasnoyarsk, Makhachkala, Balashikha. Together, these 12 cities saw a population increase of 3.57 million. or almost 80% of the total increase in the population of the country's cities.
For 10 years in Russia there were 4 more cities of a millionaire . And if Perm and Volgograd regained the status of megacities, thenVoronezh and Krasnoyarsk it was received for the first time and significantly outpaced in growth rates most million-plus cities. The population of St. Petersburg exceeded 5 million people., the population of Novosibirsk has become more than 1.5 million, people, and the population of Kirov for the first time reached 0.5 million people.
In relative terms should be divided into large and large and small on the one hand and small and medium on the other.

Big cities
Among 170 large cities in Russia, 115 cities have seen population growth of more than 10%, and 22 cities of more than 20%. It grew most actively in the cities of the Moscow region, in selected regional centers (Tyumen, Voronezh, Yakutsk, Krasnodar, Stavropol, Ulan-Ude, Grozny),cities in large urban agglomerations(Essentuki, Bataysk, Kaspiysk) and individual sub-regional centers (Sochi and Surgut).
The most outstanding growth was shown by the large satellite cities of Moscow - Krasnogorsk, Balashikha and Domodedovo, whose population has grown almost by half in ten years. y. Of the regional centers, Tyumen had the largest increase, the number of inhabitants of which increased by more than a third from 550 to 745 thousand inhabitants. Among million-plus cities, the number of residents increased most in Voronezh - by 24% from 841 to 1040 thousand people , but about half of this increase was due to the annexation of suburban communities to the city in 2010, which de facto merged into the city. A similar situation occurred with Ulan-Ude, where in 2009 more than 60 thousand inhabitants were added due to the annexation of numerous suburban settlements.

Tab. 3 Large cities with the highest population growth rates in 2007-2017

Outsiders in absolute terms become Nalchik and Norilsk , who lost 31 thousand inhabitants each. The population of Nizhny Novgorod, Tula, Nizhny Tagil, Taganrog, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Mines, Dzerzhinsk, Bratsk, Orsk, Angarsk, Biysk, Prokopyevsk, Rybinsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamensk-Uralsky, Zlatoust has decreased by more than 10,000 people, Rubtsovsk, Berezniki, Maykop, Kovrov, Novomoskovsk, Nevinnomyssk. Dimitrovgrad, Nazran, Murom, Kiselevsk, Kansk, Novotroitsa, Ust-Ilimsk, Novouralsk, Balashov, Kirovo-Chepetsk, Anzhero-Sunzhensk, Vorkuta. In totalthe population of these 39 cities decreased by 640 thousand people. For the most part, these are industrial “second” cities of the regions, the majority are located in the Urals, Siberia and the Far East.
In relative terms, outsiders among the big cities, it is worth recognizing those 34 cities that have lost more than 5% of the population, which, in the context of a relatively favorable situation with natural traffic over the past 10 years, meant the presence of a steady migration outflow in them. The list mostly consists of second/third cities in their regions , large industrial centers in the past and present, at the expense of which the population of the growing regional center was fed. There are few regional centers - these are the "northern" coastal Murmansk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, as well as the southern and relatively sparsely populated Maikop and Nalchik, which were losing residents due to the outflow of Russians, as well as Nazran, whose population was adjusted according to the 2010 census. Norilsk lost the most , which is understandable given the reduction in employment at Norilsk Nickel due to the growing automation of labor and Berezniki, where an active reduction in the population has less reason (in the famous sinkholes in this city in 2006 and 2010, people did not die).

Tab. 4 Large cities with the highest rates of population decline in 2007-2017

SMALL AND MEDIUM CITIES
Among small and medium-sized cities, only 34 cities had growth of more than 20%. Of these, the absolute leaders were Magas , where the number of inhabitants increased by 23 times, incl. and because of the low base effect (in 2007, the city had only 334 residents) andKotelniki in the Moscow region, where the population increased by 2.3 times.
Kotelniki in the last 10 years have become a testing ground for unlimited housing construction , as well as the creation of new shopping centers. In the city, 5 residential buildings have grown over 30 floors, several dozens of 20-27 floors, which is more than in most million-plus cities in Russia. At the same time, there was practically no development road network and social infrastructure.Kotelniki and Balashikha - two apotheoses of urban planning madness in modern Russia . The volume of facilities under construction in Kotelniki and the occupancy of those already built is designed for more than 100,000 people.

Tab. 5 Small and medium-sized cities with the highest population growth rates in 2007-2017

The number of inhabitants has increased by more than half Zvenigorod (a number of high-rise microdistricts have been built in a small city), inKhanty-Mansiysk(systematically fast-growing city) and Vsevolozhsk(a city-conglomerate to the east of St. Petersburg, where significant housing construction was carried out).
The list of growth leaders (+20% over 10 years) notes satellite cities of large cities where development projects were implemented (Mikhailovsk, Sosnovoborsk, Nikolskoye, Sertolovo, Aksai, Kommunar, Guryevsk).In the Moscow agglomeration, almost all medium-sized cities of the near Moscow region grew(Ivanteevka, Dzerzhinsky, Lobnya, Reutov, Vidnoye, Bronnitsy, Krasnoznamensk). Small administrative centers of the North also had active growth.(Salekhard, Khanty-Mansiysk, Naryan-Mar and Anadyr). A separate group is made up of the cities of the republics North Caucasus , where growth was provided both by natural growth and probably by migration from villages to these relatively small centers (Argun, Urus-Martan, Izberbash). An increase in population was also shown by resort cities, incl. coastal, southern (Anapa, Geledzhik, Goryachiy Klyuch, Zelenogradsk). Pleasant exceptions are a small group of cities that have grown due to internal factors, primarily economic development, implementation of investment projects - Dubna, Gubkinsky and Tsiolkovsky.
35 small and medium-sized cities had a decline of more than 20%, which means a 2-3-fold excess of migration outflow over natural decline . The maximum reduction was noted in the city of Ostrovnoy in the Murmansk region (2.2 times from 4.4 to 1.9 thousand people). Ostrovnoy is one of the most inaccessible cities in Russia, communication with which is possible only by sea and helicopters. The collapse of the naval base in the city is likely to lead to its complete resettlement in the coming years. The population of a number of northern cities decreased by more than a third - Nevelsk, Shakhtyorsk and Igarka. Nevelsk on Sakhalin, despite the restoration work, was never able to recover from the earthquake of 2007, Shakhtyorsk is also depopulated on Sakhalin due to a reduction in coal production (at the end of 2016, it was also deprived of the status of a city (which Rosstat does not know about)). Igarka ( Krasnoyarsk region) is in a long depression due to lack of economy. The population of Igarka for 30 years has decreased by 4 times - an absolute record in Russia.
Among the cities of the main zone of settlement, the very large decline in the permanent population in Plyos is depressing (which was, according to the 2010 census, the city with the oldest and most female population in Russia). The death rate of the population in Plyos in 2016 exceeded the birth rate by 6 times (4.8‰ and 28.0‰, respectively). Another leader isYurievets(Ivanovo region) - a beautiful ancient city on the Volga is depopulating before our eyes due to the huge natural and migration loss.
In general, either very small towns fell into the group with the maximum population decline Central Russia with a very aged population , which have been decreasing for many decades in a row (Porkhov, Demidov, Puchezh, Kozlovka, Opochka, Vesyegonsk, etc.), or single-industry towns, especially in the North , where it was not possible to restart the local economy - Udachny, Vuktyl, Kedrovy, Susuman, Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, Inta, Okha. Against their background, stands out for its sizeVorkuta, whose population has decreased by almost a quarter and continues to decline as planned. Fear causes depression expressed in the mass outflow of the population in relatively large cities - settlement centers that have a favorable geographical position- Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, Kirov (Kaluga region), Raychikhinsk.

Russia. The expanses of this State have no end and no beginning. In Russia, as in fact in any modern country, there are cities. Small, medium and even cities with a million people. Each city has its own history, and each one is different.

Every year, sociological surveys are conducted in settlements, mainly a population census. The vast majority of cities are small settlements, especially there are parts of Russia where settlement is not so intense. The ranking includes the ten smallest, but cities of the Russian Federation.

City of Kedrovy. 2129 people

The city of Kedrovy is located in the Tomsk region and is very little known. Located in pine forest, its purpose is a settlement for workers of oil stations.

City of Ostrovnoy. 2065 people

Murmansk region. It is located on the coast, near the Yokang Islands (Barents Sea). What is most interesting is that it is practically a ghost town. Only about 20% are inhabited.

Previously, as those who still remained there say, an airplane flew, but now there are only helicopters, and then only occasionally.

City of Primorsk. 1943 people

It just has more modern buildings. Reminiscent of a small Pripyat, apparently built to the same standards. Is in Kaliningrad region. Before the war, it belonged to the Germans, but was captured in the 45th year by the Red Army.

City of Chekalin. 964 people

Tula region, Suvorovsky district. In first place in the ranking of the smallest cities in the Russian Federation. In 2012, they wanted to recognize it as a village, but the residents of the city began to protest and left the status. Another, old name is Likhvin.

During the war, Likhvin was renamed Chkalin. The fact is that at this place the Nazis executed a partisan, who was then only sixteen years old. He received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union posthumously. Despite such a small population, which is only 964 people, In 1565 (the year of its foundation) it occupied an area of ​​about 1 square verst.

Most of the Russian population is concentrated in cities. In total, there are more than 1,100 thousand of them with official status. But only 160 of them have a population of more than 100,000 people. And a tenth of them - 15 pieces - are millionaires, that is, they are home to more than one, but less than two million people. The two capitals - Moscow and St. Petersburg - are multi-million cities, that is, they are home to more than two million people. But not only these, but also other most big cities Russia deserves a special story.

Moscow

Moscow is the capital of Russia, today and in some other periods of the country's history. It is the largest settlement in the world and one of the largest in the world. Now about 12 million people live in it, and the total agglomeration, taking into account the suburbs, is even more - 15 million people. total area- about 250 square kilometers. This means that the population density is 4823 people per square kilometer. It is difficult to say when this city was founded, but the first mention of it dates back to the beginning of the 12th century.

Moscow is a multinational city. Only about 90% of its population, according to official figures, are Russians. About 1.5% are Ukrainians, the same number are Tatars, slightly less than Armenians. Half a percent - Belarusians, Azerbaijanis, Georgians. Dozens more nationalities have smaller diasporas. And although representatives of various nationalities do not always get along peacefully, Moscow has become a real home for millions of people.

St. Petersburg is often called the second capital of Russia, the northern or cultural capital, and so on. He also has many beautiful epithet names - northern Palmyra, northern Venice. And although the population of this city is significantly inferior to Moscow (5 million against 12), as well as age (3 centuries against 9), in terms of glory and significance for the country, St. Petersburg is in no way inferior to it. It is also inferior in terms of area, population density and many other parameters. But on the other hand, St. Petersburg is one of the "longest cities" - it "hugs" the Gulf of Finland.

It should be noted that St. Petersburg is unique in many respects. Of all the non-capital cities, it has the second largest population. During the years that this city was the capital of the empire, it became the most important for world culture. The Hermitage, the Russian Museum, St. Isaac's Cathedral, Peterhof, the Kunstkamera are only a small part of its attractions.

The list of the largest settlements in the country continues with Novosibirsk, the administrative center of the Siberian federal district, the most populated city in the northern part of the country. It is also a business, commercial, industrial, cultural and scientific center not only Siberia, but all of Russia.

Novosibirsk is a millionaire, but it is home to significantly less people than in the previous two cities - "only" a little more than one and a half million. At the same time, it should be taken into account that Novosibirsk was founded relatively recently - in 1893. This city is distinguished from others by a rather harsh climate with sharp transitions. In winter, temperatures can reach 50 degrees, while in summer, sometimes the bars rise to 35 degrees. The total temperature difference throughout the year can reach a record 88 degrees.

Yekaterinburg is considered not only one of the largest cities in the country, but also one of the most comfortable and comfortable for life. It is the center of the Ural Federal District and is often called the capital of the Urals.

Ekaterinburg can be attributed to the ancient cities of the country. After all, it was founded in 1723 and received a name in honor of Empress Catherine the First. AT Soviet time was renamed Sverdlovsk, but in 1991 returned its name.

This is the case when Velikiy Novgorod, older and titled, is significantly inferior to its younger namesake - Nizhny Novgorod. Residents of Russia often call him simply Lower, for brevity and not to be confused with the Great.

The city was founded in 1221 and during this time became the administrative center of the Nizhny Novgorod Federal District, a major economic, industrial and cultural center, which is home to 1,200 thousand people.

Kazan is the sixth city in the ranking in terms of population, but in many ways it surpasses even larger cities. settlements. Not without reason, it is called the third capital of Russia and even officially registered this brand. She also has several unofficial titles, for example, "The capital of all the Tatars of the world" or "the capital of Russian federalism."

This city with more than a thousand years of history was founded in 1005 and recently celebrated such a major anniversary. Interestingly, the decline in population, which affected almost all cities, even many millionaires, did not affect Kazan, and it continues to increase its population. Also notable is National composition- almost equally Russians and Tatars, approximately 48% each, as well as a few Chuvash, Ukrainians and Mari.

Many people know this city from the song "Ah, Samara-town". But they forget that in terms of size, this "town" ranks seventh in terms of population. If we talk about the agglomeration, then it is much larger than that of many other cities, and has 2.5 million inhabitants, which is the third largest in the country, after Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Samara was founded in 1586 as a guard fortress by decree of Tsar Fedor. The location of the city turned out to be successful, and the city grew every year. AT Soviet years it was renamed Kuibyshev, but then returned to its original name.

The internet is full of jokes about the toughest city in the country. New turn opened the fall of a meteorite, which occurred just in its center. But not everyone knows that this city is the most compact metropolis in the country, one of the leading metallurgical centers, a city with beautiful highways. In addition, it is in the TOP-15 cities of Russia in terms of living standards, TOP-20 in terms of environmental development, TOP-5 in terms of the number of new buildings put into operation. It even ranks first in terms of housing affordability. And all this concerns the "harsh" Chelyabinsk.

It is worth noting that the city continues to develop. Until recently, it was ranked ninth in the ranking, and now it has risen to eighth with a population of 1,170 thousand people. Its national composition is quite diverse. Most- 86% are Russians, another 5% are Tatars, 3% are Bashkirs, 1.5% are Ukrainians, 0.6% are Germans, and so on.

Omsk is the ninth most populated city in the Russian Federation, but it has not always been this way. When the small fortress was founded in 1716, only a few thousand people lived in it. But now there are more than 1,166 thousand of them. But, unlike many other millionaire cities, the Omsk agglomeration is extremely small - only about 20 thousand.

Like many other cities in Russia, this is home to representatives of the most different nationalities. Most of all, of course, Russians - 89%, another 3.5 - Kazakhs, 2% each - Ukrainians and Tatars, 1.5% - Germans.

Rostov-on-Don, like Nizhny Novgorod, which we talked about above, has its own "namesake" - Veliky Rostov. But the Great is significantly inferior to it in size: Rostov-on-Don, albeit the last number, is included in the TOP-10 largest cities in Russia, while the Great has only about 30 thousand inhabitants, although it is several times older.

Now you know which is the largest city in Russia, where it is located and how many people live in it. But in addition to the ten listed in the country, there are five more millionaires: Ufa, Krasnoyarsk, Perm, Vladimir and Voronezh. The rest are trying very hard to enter this prestigious list, and some may soon succeed.
