# Promyshlenny, Komi Republic

Promyshlenny (Russian: Промы́шленный) is an abandoned urban locality (an urban-type settlement) under the administrative jurisdiction of the town of republic significance of Vorkuta in the Komi Republic, Russia. It had no recorded population as of the 2010 Census.

## History

Promyshlenny was established in 1956 as a mining community in relation to the "Tsentralnoy" and "Promyshlennoy" coal mines. The housing was built by convicts who worked at the mines. A major underground explosion in 1998 killed 23 miners and closed the mines. This led to a rapid economic decline and as a consequence the authorities decided to resettle the population elsewhere. The population prior to the explosion was a little over 1,000 people.
