There are cities that, although they have industrial potential and the necessary infrastructure, repel the flow of immigrants. The reasons can be climatic conditions, devastation, pollution or lack of career prospects.
What cities can be classified as bad for life in Russia? Also take a look at the list of 11 best cities to live in Russia.
10th place - Novokuznetsk
An industrial city with a coal mining bias. In this regard, the city has a high atmospheric pollution, experts estimate some indicators of impurities 3-6 times higher than the norm.
In general, the city is suitable for life, there are all the necessary conditions for education, housing, health care, but the percentage of sickness and crime is high.
9th place - Lipetsk
The territory, which, although it has a number of advantages in the form of climate, deep historical roots, strong industry, is developing at a very slow pace. Firstly, the city has a very dangerous source of pollution in the form of “Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant».
Its emissions into the atmosphere poison the entire population of the city. Secondly, residential development is poorly developed, and thirdly, the educational segment is not sufficiently formed in the city, which forces young people to leave the city.
8th place - Norilsk
To visit one of the dirtiest cities in the world, you do not need to travel abroad, it is enough to go to Norilsk. A huge industrial complex "Norilsk Nickel"Has no analogues in the world in terms of its scale, and the pollution from it is colossal.
In addition to ecology, a big problem is the climate, which is classified as harsh. Norilsk is located in the Far North, which speaks of long snowy winters, permafrost, winds and short summers.
7th place - Irkutsk
Although the city is located near the famous Lake Baikal, it is relatively prosperous and picturesque, but there is one problem that worries local residents and scares off potential migrants - crime.
Due to the fact that there are several prisons around the city, a huge number of people from those places cross the territory every day, and not every prisoner decides to take the right path. Because of this, theft and hooliganism are rampant in the city.
6th place - Chita
The city is the administrative center of the Trans-Baikal Territory. Thanks to the relief and climate, it has earned the fame of a dysfunctional city, since even in winter there is dust, little snow, a sharp temperature drop and low pressure, which affects the health of the townspeople. In addition, crime, drug addiction, violence, and bribery are high.
5th place - Arkhangelsk
The location of the territory compares favorably with most cities in Russia, but in this city there is an acute issue of skilled workers. Employers are forced to hire newcomers, as there are not enough of their own.
Young people leave closer to Moscow, because there are few prospects in Arkhangelsk, environmental pollution, transport problems.
4th place - Nizhnekamsk
A young city that is designed in accordance with the zoning of the territory. Despite the fact that industrial enterprises are located far from the residential area, the townspeople complain about the smells and fumes with the wind. Although the city stands firmly, people leave there for various reasons.: there is nowhere to study, health undermined in the workplace, or an elementary desire to realize oneself.
3rd place - Yakutsk
A city that differs from all others in its ideal ecological state, because there is neither a railway nor a processing industry that constantly smokes, but a harsh climate, poor transport infrastructure, problems with building due to permafrost. The city is very unattractive for life, besides the fact that it is cold here, and prices for food are much higher than in other cities.
2nd place - Artyom
The city, which over time was eaten by devastation and developing Vladivostok. Previously, a coal industry operated there, but at the beginning of the 21st century it was completely closed. People were left without jobs. Development is proceeding at a slow pace, crime and drug addiction are flourishing, the consequences of environmental pollution haunt people to this day.
1st place - Magnitogorsk
The industrial giant cannot boast of the love of the locals. For many, it appears in the form of gray factories, emitting clouds of smoke into the atmosphere every minute. The architectural ensemble of the city is not full of bright colors and modern buildings.
Since the city received its main development after the revolution, it was built in the spirit of socialism. Global pollution is forcing young families to move to more prosperous cities, and those who remain cling to their jobs and memories.
We recommend watching:
Cities are not comfortable enough for people to live. This is due to the unfavorable climate, the presence of industrial enterprises that pollute the environment, stress and much more.
