Sinegorye, Urban settlement in Yagodninsky District, Russia

Sinegorye stands on the left bank of the Kolyma River, 280 kilometers northwest of Magadan, near the intersection of Bakhapcha River.

The settlement emerged in 1971 as a residential area for workers building the Kolyma Hydroelectric Station, gaining urban status in 1972.

The name translates to 'region of blue mountains' in Russian, reflecting the geographical features of the surrounding mountainous landscape.

The settlement connects to Debin through a 30-kilometer road that links to the Kolyma Highway leading toward the regional capital Magadan.

From an initial population of 11,645 in 1989, the settlement decreased to 2,821 residents by 2010, leaving two-thirds of its buildings empty.
