Chaykovsky, Industrial city in Perm Krai, Russia
Chaykovsky is a town in Perm Krai, Russia, that stretches along the Kama River at roughly 95 meters elevation. Residential blocks, manufacturing plants and the Votkinsk hydroelectric station shape the riverfront landscape.
The settlement was founded in 1955 during construction of the Votkinsk hydroelectric station on the Kama River. It gained town status in 1962 as machine building and timber processing began shaping the local economy.
The settlement takes its name from composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, whose birthplace Votkinsk lies downriver. This naming connects the young town to the musical traditions of the 19th century and honors the region's artistic past.
Bus routes connect the town to regional centers such as Izhevsk and Perm as well as smaller communities nearby. The Kama riverbank offers walking opportunities for visitors exploring the area on foot.
The municipality records one of the highest birth rates in Perm Krai while many other communities in the region experience population decline. This demographic pattern sets the town apart from its surroundings.
