The extinction of the village is one of the most acute socio-economic problems in modern Russia. According to the latest census, there are 17,000 villages in the Russian Federation that do not have a permanent population. In this article we will try to list the abandoned villages of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Let's briefly talk about the most interesting of them.

Abandoned villages of the Krasnoyarsk Territory: photo and list

The statistics of the last decades, alas, are disappointing. So, if in 2002 the number of abandoned or disappeared settlements in the region was 31, then in 2010 this figure increased to 89. Over the past eight years, the regional administration has “abolished” 12 more territorial units.

In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the following trend is observed: the further north from Krasnoyarsk, the more abandoned villages on the map. So, the leaders in the total number of villages and towns without a single inhabitant are the North Yenisei, Turukhansk and Kezhemsk regions.

Sothe total number of depopulated settlements in the region already exceeds a hundred. Here is a far from complete list of abandoned villages in the Krasnoyarsk Territory:

  • Umbazh (Partizansky district).
  • Ust-Kova (Kezhemsky district).
  • Lobachevka (Ilansky district).
  • Miroslavka (Tyukhtet district).
  • Mikhailovka (Emelyanovsky district).
  • Markelova (Abansky district).
  • Kezma (Kezhemsky district).
  • Ust-Syda (Krasnoturansky district).
  • Bolshaya Tes (Novoselovsky district).
  • Knyazevka (Sukhobuzimsky district).

Next, we will briefly tell you about some of these villages.

Kezma

Kezma is a former village on the banks of the Angara, founded at the end of the 17th century. By the end of the 70s, it was a large settlement, in which a number of enterprises, a machine and tractor station and even an airport operated. Kezma disappeared in 2012 as a result of filling the bed of the Boguchanskaya HPP with water. All the inhabitants of the village were relocated. This is what this place looks like on the satellite map (before and after the flood):

Mikhailovka

The village of Mikhailovka, Yemelyanovsky district, was formed at the beginning of the last century, and became empty in 2017. For a long time only one person lived in it - pensioner Mikhail Baburin. He moved here from Krasnoyarsk after a divorce from his wife, started a considerable farm - goats, sheep and chickens. In January 2017, the "Siberian Robinson" passed away and the village officially became deserted.

Ust-Kova

Ust-Kova is a disappeared village located at the confluence of two rivers - the Kova and the Angara. In the late 1940s, several hundred Lithuanian families moved here. In 1958, Lithuanians began to return to their historical homeland. The village also ceased to exist as a result of the formation of a reservoir during the construction of the Boguchanskaya HPP.

The so-called "Devil's Cemetery" is located near Ust-Kova. This forest glade became popular in the 80s, thanks to an article in the popular science magazine Technique for Youth. According to legend, two shepherds lost several cows in the forest. During the search, they came to this clearing, finding numerous corpses of forest animals there. In the Devil's Cemetery, the compass and other devices behave in an unusual way, once again confirming the paranormality of this place.
