Khanty-Mansiysk, Administrative center in Western Siberia, Russia
Khanty-Mansiysk sits where the Irtysh meets the Ob, surrounded by conifer forests and flat plains at around 50 meters elevation. The settlement spreads along both riverbanks, with residential neighborhoods alternating with administrative buildings and parks.
The settlement was established in 1930 under the name Ostyako-Vogulsk, referring to the Russian terms for indigenous peoples at that time. It gained city status in 1950 after merging with the older village of Samarovo.
The name combines the two largest indigenous groups of the region, whose descendants still live in surrounding communities today. Visitors see this connection in public artworks and sculptures standing along main streets.
The local airport reaches major Russian destinations, while buses run throughout the entire urban area. Winter clothing remains necessary almost all year, as temperatures can stay cool even in summer.
A professional biathlon center with around 15 kilometers of track regularly draws competitors from different countries. The city also hosts international chess tournaments, which is uncommon for such a remote location.
