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 Soviet census).
Artyom is built mainly with one-, two-, and five-story panel buildings, though a comparatively large number of wooden private houses can be seen.
History
Artyom was founded in 1924 near the Zybunny pit mine, named after revolutionary Fyodor Sergeyev who was better known by his nickname Artyom. On October 26, 1938, it was granted town status. In 2004, the amalgamation of surrounding former urban-type settlements Uglovoye, Zavodskoy and Artyomovsky into the city saw its official population rise from around 60,000 to over 100,000.
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). Fifteen joint ventures have been registered in Artyom.
Coal mining, an industry without future, has always been the basis of the local economy. Coal reserves have practically been exhausted. The forecasts are that transport will be the most productive industry for Artyom's economic development.
Vladivostok International Airport is located near Artyom. The largest Primorsky Krai railroad junction is also found here. 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. This number represented no more than 28% of its potential.
