Fevralsk, Work settlement in Amur Oblast, Russia.
Fevralsk is a work settlement in Amur Oblast nestled between the Selemdzha River and its tributary Byssa. The community sits roughly 340 kilometers northeast of Blagoveshchensk and operates as a key station on the Baikal-Amur Mainline railway.
The settlement began in February 1896 when Central Russian colonists established a community and named it after the Russian month. During the 1980s, it gained urban status and became a hub for workers engaged in constructing the Baikal-Amur Mainline.
The settlement received urban status in 1982 and developed a strong connection to the Baikal-Amur Mainline railway construction, attracting workers from Krasnoyarsk Krai.
The settlement has a railway station on the Baikal-Amur Mainline and serves as a regional transport junction. Its remote location means limited services, so visitors should plan ahead and bring necessary supplies.
The settlement maintains economic ties with China through its logging industry. Plans also exist for a railway branch extending toward coal deposits in the surrounding region.
