Krasivaya Polyana, Rural settlement in Nurimanovsky District, Russia.
Krasivaya Polyana was a settlement in Nurimanovsky District, Bashkortostan, on the Ufa Plateau by the Yaman-Yelga River. It had a forestry enterprise, the Yaman-Yelginsky lespromkhoz, and an oil well belonging to the Bayryashskoye field. The Yaman-Yelginsky narrow-gauge railway ran through it.
The settlement was established as part of Nurimanovsky District's administrative structure and existed until regional reorganization in 2005. Its dissolution that year marked the end of its formal status as a recognized administrative entity.
The name Krasivaya Polyana was given by special settlers resettled here in the early 1930s, who named it after a small clearing covered with berries and flowers. The name later became official. The population was mainly Russian: 205 people on 1 January 1969, with no permanent residents recorded in 2002.
The location now exists only in historical records and administrative documents. Those interested in abandoned settlements or regional history can find information through local archives and historical sources.
