Arkhangelsk, Port city in Northern Russia
Arkhangelsk extends for 40 kilometers along both banks of the Northern Dvina River, near the point where it flows into the White Sea.
The settlement originated in 1584 when Ivan IV ordered the establishment of New Kholmogory, which became Russia's primary seaport until Saint Petersburg's foundation.
The regional theater, museums, and educational institutions maintain the northern Russian heritage through performances, exhibitions, and academic programs throughout the year.
The railway connection to Moscow and the deep-water port facilities enable continuous trade operations, making Arkhangelsk Russia's main timber export center.
The Northern Sea Route western terminal position provides Arkhangelsk with direct maritime access to Arctic regions and strategic shipping lanes.
