Yagodnoye, Urban settlement in Magadan Oblast, Russia

Yagodnoye sits on the left bank of the Debin River near the Chersky Range, featuring a collection of administrative buildings and residential structures.

The settlement emerged in 1934 during the construction of the Kolyma Highway, later becoming the administrative center for the Sevlag Gulag labor camp from 1949 to 1957.

The name of the settlement comes from the Russian word for berries, referencing the abundant wild berries growing along the nearby Yagodny stream.

Located 550 kilometers by road from Magadan, the settlement maintains basic services while gold mining continues as the primary economic activity.

The settlement experienced a substantial population change, decreasing from 11,024 residents in 1989 to 4,210 in 2010 following the Soviet Union's dissolution.
