History of Sayanogorsk

The city is young and appeared on the map on 11/6/1975. The reason for the construction was the construction of Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP and two aluminum production plants. In fact, Sayanogorsk was formed from former workers' settlements. This was the cause (and consequence) of the city's rapid population growth.

Population of the city of Sayanogorsk

The dynamics of the number of inhabitants is generally similar to that in other Russian cities. The population of Sayanogorsk has grown rapidly since 1980, from about 22,000 to 56,000 in 1996. Prior to that, growth was slower. In 1959 the population was 4,600. However, the crisis phenomena of the 90s, albeit with a significant delay, reached these places. The population began to decrease and reached a minimum in 2017 (47983 people). The decline in numbers is rather slow. Therefore, in demographic terms, nothing threatens the city yet.

In 2017, Sayanogorsk was in 336th place in terms of the number of inhabitants among other cities of the Russian Federation.

The population of the city lives in 10 neighborhoods. It offers residents 9 schools, 1 lyceum, 2 technical schools and one technological institute.

There is a ski resort, a sports and recreation center, a dispensary.

The population density in Sayanogorsk is 2542 people/km2. Nationalities such as Russians, Ukrainians, Germans and Khakasses predominate.

Transport system

2 stations have been created for rail transportation, but they are used for transporting goods. For the population, there is only one diesel train route that connects the city and the aluminum smelter.

Functionsthere is also a bus station from where buses depart to Abakan, Krasnoyarsk, Novonikolaevka, Novotroitsky, Sabinka, Shushensky and Abaza. Public buses and fixed-route taxis operate in the city.

Attractions

The main attractions of the city are:

1. Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP. This is a hydroelectric power station known throughout Russia, which was built in 1961. The dam is 1074 meters long, 245 meters high and has a radius of 600 meters. The station suffered a serious accident in 2009, after which it was restored for five years, and now it is fully operational.
2. Reservoir of the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP. This water storage began to be filled in the early 80s of the twentieth century. Its total length is 312 km. Now it is a popular holiday destination for citizens, which can have a positive impact on demographics.
3. Museum of local lore. This establishment opened in 1999. The collections include nearly 30,000 items.

Social protection of the population

The social protection service in Sayanogorsk has existed since 1992. After 4 years, she was retrained to the Department of Social Protection of the Population (DSZN). In 2005, it was transformed into the Department of Social Support for the Sayanogorsk Population.

The service fulfills the obligations indicated in the legislation of the Russian Federation for the social protection of citizens. This department oversees issues such as the payment of social benefits, the provision of benefits for servicesHousing and communal services, payment of child allowances, subsidies, provision of social services, provision of recreation and recreation services for children.

Employment Center

The employment center of the Republic of Khakassia (that is, the Sayanogorsk employment service) has its own Internet portal, which contains official contact information. The center has a postal code 655603, address: Khakassia, Sayanogorsk, Sovetsky microdistrict, 2. It works from 8 am to 5 pm. Weekend: Saturday, Sunday.

On the website of the Sayanogorsk Employment Center there is an up-to-date telephone, fax, area code and e-mail.

Vacancies

The vacancies of the center have a social orientation: a doctor, a salesman, a customer caller, a programmer, an educator. The prevailing level of salaries is 20-25,000 rubles. (maximum range: from 15 to 80 thousand rubles). Most needed are doctors of various speci alties and callers to clients.

Thus, Sayanogorsk as a whole repeats the history of many Russian cities with a flourishing in the Soviet mountains, a sharp decline in the 90s and a gradual decline over the next two decades. The population peak here is slightly shifted forward - to the middle of the 90s, while in many other cities it falls on their beginning.

Relatively stable demographic indicators indicate acceptable living conditions and sufficient job security for the population. There is a support service for the population of Sayanogorsk and a city employment center. Salaries, judging by the vacancies of employers, are acceptable according toRussian standards. However, the vacancies themselves will not be to everyone's taste. No working speci alties were found in the latter. Most of all, doctors are needed, which is typical for other Russian cities. In second place in terms of occurrence - offers to work with clients.
