Artyom (Template:Lang-ru) is a town in Primorsky Krai, Russia, situated in the northern part of the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula. Population: 64,145 (2002 Census); 68,887 (1989 Census).
Artyom is built mainly with one-, two-, and five-story houses of stone and brick, though a comparatively large number of wooden private houses can be seen. Founded in 1924 near the Zybunny pit mine, it is named after a famous revolutionary Artyom (F. A. Sergeyev). On October 26, 1938, it was granted town status. Artyom comprises three former urban-type settlements: Uglovoye, Zavodskoy, and Artyomovsky.
Business and industry
Half of the able-bodied population of Artyom is engaged in the production of materials.
Artyom has 29 industrial enterprises, half of which are private. Among the consumer goods produced in the town are furniture, china, sewing production. The companies employing the largest number of workers in Artyom are Primorskoye Mine Administration (3,500 people) and Artyom-Mebel Furniture Factory (1,100 people).

Annually, 12 million tons of cargo pass through Artyom to Vladivostok, and 24 million tons to Nakhodka. In 1994, the airport served 500,000 passengers.
