Sharypovo

Sharypovo is a town in Krasnoyarsk Krai that spreads along the Beresh River in the Siberian landscape. It sits roughly 414 kilometers west of the regional capital and serves as an administrative center for the surrounding district.

The settlement began in 1701 as a small village and developed over time into a larger community. It gained official town status in 1981, becoming an important administrative center for the region.

The town incorporates both Russian and Siberian traditions, with regular festivals celebrating regional customs throughout the different seasons.

The town has a power generation facility that is important for regional energy needs and supports economic development. The infrastructure is designed for the needs of a typical administrative town and provides basic services for residents and visitors.

The town was renamed after Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko between 1985 and 1988, who was born in this location. This period under a different name is little remembered today, though it marks a notable moment in its recent history.
