What can you do for money if asked? The common response would be anything. But what if you were forced to endure 45 “days” of darkness, chemical rain, below-freezing temperatures, and poisonous gases? So, what is your response?
Most people in this scenario will choose a good location for less money.
But, there is a city where people continue to live in this circumstance. Here, we’re referring to the Russian city of Norilsk. The “Most Depressing City” title belongs to this city.
The farthest north in Russia is Norilsk.
It is situated in eastern Russia’s Krasnoyarsk Krai area in Siberia. Even a road does not go there due to the poor state.
Only one freight line connects the city to the outside world.
Although there are flights to this city, not many people have the courage to travel there.
Despite the difficult circumstances, there are about 170,000 people living in the city.
Most residents in Norilsk make a median monthly salary of US$986. This is a significant increase over the monthly average for Russians ($739).
The greatest nickel, copper, and palladium deposit on Earth are not far from the city.
The exploitation of these minerals generates revenue for the city. The majority of city residents are employed by Norilsk Nickel.
The Duldiken River in Norilsk
It flows through Norilsk and has a dark crimson tint as a result of pollution. Even earlier, the river’s rushing water had an odd tint. It gradually turned a dark red. During an examination, it was discovered that the large manufacturers were to blame for the river’s water turning red.
The Norilsk nickel mill emits more than 20 lakh tonnes of hazardous pollutants.
Chemical rain and contaminated water bodies are the results of this. The lives of the locals are severely impacted by this. In Norilsk, a person may expect to live for 59 years on average, compared to 69 years nationwide.
