Distinctive features. Primorsky Krai has a number of features that make it worth coming here at least once in a lifetime. Let not forever, even for a week, for a month. But to get acquainted with this unique land, with its beauties is definitely worth it.
The first feature is nature. On the one hand - the taiga, where there are real wild tigers and bears, deer and squirrels. On the other hand - the blue sea, rich in its gifts.
And all this in Primorye can be seen at the same time! The generous Far Eastern nature offers simple but pleasant entertainment - picking mushrooms, berries and nuts in local forests. And lovers of seafood here will find a real paradise: huge Far Eastern crabs, trepangs, mussels, scallops, shrimps, sea urchins, octopuses, seaweed... Even in Soviet times, when there was a general shortage of food, the residents of Vladivostok and Primorye could catch any sea delicacies they wanted for dinner.
This is not manna from heaven. These are mollusks brought to the residents of Vladivostok by another typhoon. Photo by Svetlana Laletina
The second feature is the port city of Vladivostok and its environs, where naval base Russian Navy. Glorious military traditions are loved and honored here. This is one of the few Russian cities where on the last Sunday of August naval parade, it was even more correct to call it a naval show. If you walk around Vladivostok, you will find many monuments related to the fleet and its history.
The third feature is a unique geographical location, which has not only disadvantages, but also its advantages. Despite the fact that there are 9177 km from Vladivostok to Moscow, only some 205 km separate Vladivostok from the border with China. It is very convenient for both tourism and business. Also, Japan is within easy reach from here, and the countries of Southeast Asia are not so far away, where you can get from Primorye much faster than from Russian capital. By the way, even if you do not take into account the gain in time, tours from Vladivostok to Thailand are 20-25% cheaper than from Moscow.
Geographic location. Primorsky Krai is located in the southeastern tip of Russia, in the southern part of the Far Eastern Federal District. From the south and east, its lands are washed by the Sea of Japan. To the north it is bordered by Khabarovsk Territory, in the west - from the Chinese people's republic. The relief is mountainous, a significant part of the territory is occupied by the Sikhote-Alin ridge.
There are beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls in the mountains. largest lake- Khanka, on the border with China. Main river Primorye - Ussuri.
The unique nature of Primorsky Krai with rare flora and fauna requires protection from poachers and other vandals. Now in Primorye there are 6 reserves, 3 national parks and one natural Park. They are trying to save such endangered species as the Amur tiger and the Far Eastern leopard.
Population. Back in the days Russian Empire Primorye was populated voluntarily-compulsorily. Cossacks were sent here to protect our borders, peasants instead of serving, convicts to serve their sentences. Also, free land was allocated to all wishing settlers. Under the Union, Primorsky Krai began to be populated even faster. Up until 1989, there was a steady growth in both urban and rural population. And then serious problems began near Primorye. economic problems, and the population began to decrease at the same rate as it had grown before. Now 1,947,263 people live in Primorsky Krai, which roughly corresponds to the level of 1980.
Most Russians live in Primorsky Krai (85.66%). In second place - Ukrainians (2.55%), in third - Koreans (0.96%). In fact, there are much more Ukrainians living here, and they began to come here in large numbers at the end of the 19th century, when regular sea communications were established between Odessa and Vladivostok. And now there are other realities: in Primorye there are many guest workers from Central Asia and the Caucasus, who seem to have no intention of returning home. Relatively recently, another headache has been added: illegal immigrants from China, Vietnam and other Asian states, penetrating into Vladivostok in all possible ways.
Crime. 11th place in the criminal rating of the regions is a very sad indicator, indicating that the level of crime in Primorye is quite high. Despite the fact that Primorye is located in the south of the country, the population here is no less severe than in the Russian North. Wild forests, Ussuri taiga, remoteness from Moscow - all this leaves an imprint on local customs. An important factor in the high level of crime is the severe economic situation in Primorye. In addition, Vladivostok has its own specifics - sea port, transshipment of goods, customs - fertile ground for the development of organized crime.
Unemployment rate in Primorye, 6.87% is very high. But the locals have a way to save themselves. For example, a common local business is the transfer of cheap used Japanese cars to the western regions of Russia, where they give completely different money for them. The state is looking for different ways to increase business activity in the region, but so far the situation is far from ideal.
If we talk about official income, then average salary in Primorye - 27365 rubles. The highest salaries are in the production of petroleum products (51.6 thousand rubles), in financial sector(50.6 thousand rubles), in science (38 thousand rubles) and transport (35 thousand rubles).
Real estate value. The average cost of a one-room apartment in the secondary market is from 1.7 million rubles. New one-room apartments are sold for 2.5 million rubles and more. The price of "kopeck pieces" is already much higher, and starts somewhere from 2.5 million rubles for the old housing stock and 3.5 million rubles for new buildings.
Climate. In Primorsky Krai - its own, Far Eastern weather, and a resident European plains it will hardly seem familiar. This climate is temperate monsoonal. In summer, here is the realm of typhoons coming from the south, bringing fog, heavy rains and floods. Of course, farming in such conditions is hellish work. In the hottest summer months, the average temperature is +17…+26°С. In winter, the opposite is true. Cold northerly winds bring dry frosty air. Although the average temperature in January is −15°C, the sea is subjectively more frosty. And in the depths of the continent, even a thermometer will clearly show -20 ° and below. As already mentioned, the region is very rainy and average annual rate precipitation is 600-900 mm per year. True, most of them fall in the warm season.
Cities of Primorsky Krai
(600 thousand people) - the capital of the Primorsky Territory, our outpost in the Far East and the Pacific Ocean. The city, founded in 1860, spreads out on the shores of the Golden Horn Bay. There is a sea and fishing port, as well as a naval base, thanks to which Vladivostok for a long time was a closed city.
After the collapse of the USSR, economic crisis, since the enterprises of the defense complex are forced to downsize and switch to the production of civilian products, which is not so easy, given the presence of such monsters as Japan and China at hand. If you do not take into account economic problems, then Vladivostok is a beautiful and pleasant city, with its own unique charm.
(165 thousand people) - the second largest city in Primorye. Founded in 1866 by immigrants from Ukraine as the village of Nikolskoye. Now it is a major railway junction, the center of the food industry. Of the problems - crime, infrastructure that needs updating, drunkenness of the population. However, these problems are not only in Usuriysk, but in many Russian cities.
(158,358 people) - the most Southern City Russia, with a convenient bay, where the port facilities and the oil loading base are located. The infrastructure is well developed here, and due to the nature of the subtropics, there is a resort and medical base in the vicinity of the city. In particular, the Livadia area is a favorite vacation spot for many residents of the Far East, who find it almost impossible to get to the Black Sea resorts.
Artem(102,451 people) - this city with amazing name named after the Russian revolutionary, whose name, oddly enough, was Fyodor Sergeev (and “comrade Artem” was his party nickname). It was originally a city of miners. But then all the mines were closed, so that the main tasks of the Artemovites remained the maintenance of the Vladivostok airport located here, and the Artemovskaya thermal power plant, which runs on imported coal. Of course, all this turns into environmental problems. To pluses it is possible to add normally developed infrastructure. Shopping centers and entertainment complexes - all this is here in abundance.
