Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (Russian: Петропавловск-Камчатский, IPA: [pʲɪtrɐˈpavləfsk kɐmˈtɕatskʲɪj] (listen)) is a city and the administrative, industrial, scientific, and cultural center of Kamchatka Krai, Russia. As of the 2021 Census its population is 164,900.^[7]

The city is widely known simply as Petropavlovsk (literally «city of Peter and Paul»). The adjective Kamchatsky («Kamchatkan») was added to the official name in 1924.

Geography[edit]

The city is situated on high hills and surrounded by volcanoes. The surrounding terrain is mountainous enough that the horizon cannot be seen clearly from any point in town. Across Avacha Bay from the city in Vilyuchinsk is Russia’s largest submarine base, the Rybachiy Nuclear Submarine Base, established during the Soviet period and still used by the Russian Navy.^[8] The city is located 6,766 kilometres (4,204 mi) from Moscow and about 2,220 kilometres (1,380 mi) from Vladivostok.

History[edit]

Cossack units visited the area from 1697. The explorer and navigator Captain Vitus Bering (a Dane in the service of the Imperial Russian Navy) is considered^{[by whom?]} to have founded the city in 1740, although navigator Ivan Fomich Yelagin [ru] had laid the foundation a few months earlier. Bering reached Avacha Bay in late 1740 and in his capacity as the superior officer, named the new settlement «Petropavlovsk» (Peter and Paul) after his two ships, the Saint Peter and the Saint Paul, which had been built in Okhotsk for his second expedition (1733–42). The town’s location on the eastern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, on the sheltered Avacha Bay and at the mouth of the Avacha River, saw it develop to become the most important settlement in Kamchatka. It gained town status on 9 April 1812.

During the 1853–55 Crimean War, Anglo-French forces put the city under siege (August–September 1854), but it never fell. The city had been fortified under the overall command of Nikolay Muravyov (Governor-General of the Eastern Siberia Governorate-General [ru] from 1847 to 1861) in the preceding years, but possessed only a small garrison of a few hundred soldiers and sixty-seven cannon. After much exchange of fire, six hundred Anglo-French troops landed south of the city; two hundred and thirty Russian troops forced them to retreat after heavy fighting (1 September 1854). Four days later, a larger force of nine hundred Anglo-French troops landed east of the town, but again the Russians repelled the allies (5 September 1854). The allied ships then retreated from Russian Pacific waters (7 September 1854). The total Russian losses were reported^{[by whom?]} at around a hundred men; the Anglo-French were said to have lost 209 men, over twice that number.^[9]

At the time of the surrender of Japan in World War II (August/September 1945), United States Naval Construction Battalion 114 was in the Aleutians. In September 1945 the battalion received orders to send a detachment to the USSR to build a Naval Advance Base (a Fleet Weather Central)^[10] – located ten miles outside Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and code-named TAMA.^[11] The original agreement gave the Seabees three weeks to complete the camp. Upon arrival the Soviets told the Seabees they had ten days, and were amazed that the Seabees achieved the task. It was one of two to which Stalin agreed. The other was near Khabarovsk, in buildings provided by the Russians.^[11] For mail Petropavlovsk was assigned Navy number 1169, FPO San Francisco.^[12] The American use of these two bases proved short-lived.

Petropavlovsk was a great source of fish, particularly salmon, and crab meat for the Soviet Union in the 20th century. Following the end of the Soviet era in December 1991, fishing rights have also been granted to foreign interests. Poaching of salmon for their caviar at Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy remains a problem amid lax law-enforcement and widespread corruption.^[13]

Administrative and municipal status[edit]

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is the administrative center of the krai.^[1] Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky City Under Krai Jurisdiction — an administrative unit with status equal to that of the districts.^[1] As a municipal division, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky City Under Krai Jurisdiction is incorporated as Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Urban Okrug.^[4]

Culture[edit]

Sports[edit]

The main association football stadium in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy is the 5,000-capacity Spartak Stadium. The former club FC Volcano played at the stadium.^{[citation needed]}

Tourism[edit]

The city has developed a tourist infrastructure. About twenty large tourism companies offer a wide range of services from bear hunting to paragliding.^{[citation needed]}

Transport[edit]

The city is served by Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (Elizovo) Airport, which is linked to the town and its port via the A-401 road. During the warmer months cruise ships regularly stop there for the day.^{[citation needed]}

Ethnic Russians make up the majority of the population; the city on its own has more inhabitants than the entire neighboring Chukotka Autonomous Okrug or Magadan Oblast.

The population numbered 179,780 in 2010; 179,800 in 2011; 179,784 in 2012; and 181,618 in 2013.

• Others – 4.7%

Climate[edit]

The climate at Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy reasonably qualifies as cool-summer continental boreal climate (Köppen Dfc). However, this area’s climate has strong oceanic influences due its proximity to the Pacific ocean. Average annual precipitation is 1,180 millimeters (46 in), or about 3+1⁄2 times as much as most of Siberia averages, mostly falling as frozen precipitation, primarily snow, from November to April. Average monthly precipitation is highest in autumn, with October the wettest month on average, closely followed by November. May through July are markedly the driest months on average; June is the single driest month. Winter temperatures are much milder than in Siberia. Here, average January daytime high temperatures are around −4.0 °C (24.8 °F), while average daytime high temperature in August, the warmest month, is 17 °C (63 °F). Thus, resulting from oceanic cooling, summer daytime high temperatures in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy are markedly cooler than in interior Siberia. In warmer-summer years, monthly high averages in July–August can reach 18 °C (64 °F) and higher. Days of above 20 °C (68 °F) can be expected an average of 19.6 days per summer.^[14]

Despite the generally high precipitation, the weather is less cloudy than in the adjacent Kuril Islands that are one of the least sunny places in the world,^[15] since the city is located behind a peninsula to the north that blocks some of the fog from the cold Oyashio Current offshore of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Oceanic water in Avacha Bay and adjacent bays is also warmer than coastal waters of Kuril Islands and Okhotsk sea coast (except Southern Kuriles and Southern Sakhalin).

In the spring (February to April), seawater may freeze.

Highest Temperature: 30.0 °C (86.0 °F) on July 2, 2012

Lowest Temperature: −31.7 °C (−25.1 °F) on February 14, 1917

Highest Daily Precipitation: 200.2 millimetres (7.88 in) on November 10, 2002

Wettest Year: 1,996 millimetres (78.6 in) in 1971

Driest Year: 432 millimetres (17.0 in) in 1947

The city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is the capital of Kamchatka

You can get to Kamchatka from other regions of Russia only by plane. Flights arriving at this beautiful region, land at the international airport Yelizovo, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. When you approach the capital of the region, you can see from above that the city spread wide on the shore of Avacha Bay, which belongs to the Pacific Ocean. The overlook gave you a breathtaking panorama of the city surrounded by mountains and water. Very close to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, there are Avachinskaya and Koryakskaya Sopkas, which are active volcanoes.

At the airport, you can see the Li-2 plane, turned into a monument. This Soviet military transport was intensively used in the ’40s of the twentieth century, and during the war, it worked a lot, transporting goods. Yelizovo was its Kamchatka base.

City population

The indigenous inhabitants of Kamchatka are Itelmens and the Chukchi, but now these peoples do not constitute the majority of the peninsula population. In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, people of different nationalities live, but most of all Russians. These are the descendants of those, who moved here in the 19th century and came to explore the Far East in Soviet times, as well. In terms of population, the main city of Kamchatka is not densely populated. It takes 105th place among more than one hundred thousand cities in Russia. Now, about 180 thousand people live in the city.

In the XIX century, it was a small village with population ranged from 400 to 1,500 people over the years. The development of the city and the increase of the population fell in the Soviet period. According to information of 1989, 286 thousand people lived in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky but this number has decreased by about one hundred thousand over the past thirty years. The greatest drift occurred during the crisis in the ’90s of the past century. By the beginning of the XXI century, the population of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky stabilized. This is mainly the working-age population, pensioners make up about a quarter of the total number of residents. The percentage of people with higher education is the same.

History of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky

Among the cities of the Far East, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is one of the oldest. Cossack explorers laid the first fort on the site of the future city back in 1697. Not far from the Itelmen camp of Aushin, they built docks for yasak (a tribute paid in furs) and guarded them.

The settlement began to develop on the site of the old fort in 1740. The significant event is connected with the name of the navigator Ivan Yelagin, who moved on the boat «Holy Archangel Gabriel» from Okhotsk to Kamchatka in order to examine the Avacha Bay in detail in order to compile its map, necessary for shipping. In addition, Yelagin was instructed to build houses and warehouses on the expectation of expedition arrival.

In mid-June, his boat landed in the Avacha Bay near Aushin, becoming the first ship to arrive here. By the fall, he had built several wooden houses, barracks, and barns. Yelagin reported this to his superiors. Just a few days later, at the end of September, and then at the beginning of October, ships of the Second Kamchatka Expedition led by Aleksei Chirikov and Vitus Bering arrived here. Their packet boats were named after the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and therefore the settlement built by Yelagin was called Petropavlovsk.

The “Holy Apostle Peter”, led by Bering, arrived here on October 17, so now this date is celebrated as the city’s birthday. The well-known researcher of Kamchatka Stepan Krasheninnikov, who visited these places at about the same time, wrote that “officer lodges, barracks, shops, and another structure” were built on the banks of Avacha Bay. That is, the infrastructure of the fort began to develop immediately after the construction of the first houses

After Bering’s expedition to Petropavlovsk, ships did not enter for four decades, until two English ships appeared, making the Third Round-the-World Expedition led by John Cook. The British liked the bay, as well as the settlement there. Since then, Petropavlovsk has become a must-see place for sailors around the world.

The status of the settlement changed in 1912 when the fort was called the city of Peter and Paul Harbor. It became the only city in Kamchatka, and the residence of the Governor-General was located here. Admiral Vasily Stepanovich Zavoyko, a participant of the Battle of Navarino, who later went on round-the-world expeditions and explored the Pacific coast, first took this position. In 2014, a monument was erected to this wonderful person. In 1849, the Peter and Paul Harbor received the status of a regional center. As such, a few years later it showed its worth in the Crimean War.

One might wonder what a connection between Kamchatka and the Crimea is. Still, it was. When the Crimean War began, the British and French tried to weaken the enemy by attacking Russia from the east, as well. The English fleet was recognized as the best in the world, and the French were equipped with the latest technology, the path to the Far Eastern shores of Russia was already common, so the governments of Great Britain and France were confident in success.

They did not expect any serious resistance in Kamchatka. Help from mainland Russia could have been coming here for months. However, the attackers got it wrong. The defenders of the Peter and Paul Harbor under the leadership of Zavoyko managed to repel the attack, the Anglo-French squadron retreated. Then, they erect a chapel in memory of the dead soldiers on Nikolskaya Sopka. Now Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky deservedly bears the title of «City of Military Glory.»

Until the middle of the twentieth century, the city did not have active development. In fact, it was a village with randomly scattered wooden houses. The base of the Pacific Fleet was located here, ships came here, and it was not considered in another role. Everything began to change in the 60s of the twentieth century. An active building started in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (the city was called so), the population grew, cultural institutions, an important part of the center of the region, appeared.

City infrastructure

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was originally built without any plan as a temporary residence, though its modern structure is not well thought out either. When the settlement was small, there was no point in dividing it into districts. After the city had grown, two districts appeared but soon this administration was canceled. Nowadays, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is divided into several neighborhoods. They was created taking into account the natural topography of the city.

The uneven terrain creates certain difficulties as the city is scattered over a large territory and it can be difficult to get from one district of the city to another.

Buses are the main public transport in the city. All routes lead to the Central District what is very convenient given the spreading location of the city. Most citizens have private transport but this causes a parking problem. There are few special parking lots so public spaces not intended for parking are full of cars. The condition of the roads is not the best. Because of the constant geological activity, even if it is not strongly expressed, the asphalt cracks.

Tourism development dictates its infrastructure requirements. The need for good hotels, cafes, restaurants is growing every day. What is being proposed in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky now is quite good but there is still something to strive for.

Where to go: sightseeing and places of interest

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky cannot boast of significant architectural monuments. The buildings here appeared mainly in the ’60-’80s of the last century, so the capital of the region looks like a Soviet city with typical houses though in amazing natural surroundings. There is a local flavor in the design associated with the climate. For example, the walls are covered with the metal sheets from the side from which the coldest and strongest wind blows. The wind situation in the city is far from calm, so such forethought is understandable.

Another feature is the so-called «captain’s bridges» in the houses. Because of the seismic instability, buildings are equipped with shockproof offsets. In residential buildings, such an offset is designed as a small balcony. Such bay windows, having practical significance, play an aesthetic role and decorate houses at the same time.

Local museums are waiting for residents and visitors to the city; they are very interesting and introduce different aspects of Kamchatka life. In addition to the joint and art museums, it will be interesting to visit the museums of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, as well as the Scientific Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography. The famous Kamchatka salmon has its own museum. There is also a volcanic museum «Volcanarium». This is not a complete list. There are exhibition halls, as well, including the Center for Contemporary Loft Art «Park of Culture».

When the theater season is open, you can continue the evening cultural program at theaters or at the Philharmonic. Cinemas are open daily.

City Economy

In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, there are fishing and fish processing enterprises. This is not surprising since the proximity of the marine wealth of the Pacific naturally contributes to the development of this sector of the national economy. There are both large and many small companies engaged in the extraction and processing of fish and seafood. In the period of salmon spawning, they are especially active.

The port of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky has every prospect of becoming an important stronghold of the Northern Sea Route. Now there is a transshipment of a variety of goods. There is also a passenger service. In 2017, a new seaport was opened and made it possible for passengers of cruise ships and cruise liners to stay comfortably here.

The city has a well-developed tourism business. The beauty of Kamchatka attracts people who are ready to overcome great distances and spend a fair amount of money to see amazing places with their own eyes. Travel agencies develop numerous routes so that guests can look into every interesting corner of the peninsula. You can choose from various modes of transportation – hiking, car, helicopter tours, by water on boats.

Ski tourism is gaining momentum. Since Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is located among the hills, ski resorts are literally inside the city. In addition, there are ski-biathlon tracks of international level in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

Mining companies also contribute to the economy of the city and the region. In Kamchatka, gold, silver, and platinum are mined.

Climate and weather in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky

As throughout Kamchatka, the climate in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky has developed under the great influence of the Pacific Ocean. Mild winters combined with cool summers. There is almost no heat. The warmest month is August, the average temperature at this time is 13 above Celsius. Summer is not rainy. A tangible wind blows throughout all seasons.

Geological features of the area suggest a seismic activity. Residents of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky are at any moment ready for the possibility of an earthquake.
