A Day In Russia’s Most Depressing Town | Vorkuta 🇷🇺
Vorkuta is a coal-mining town in the Komi Republic, Russia, situated just north of the Arctic Circle. Although it is actually the fourth-largest city north of the Arctic Circle, this town is mostly known for the fact that it is slowly dying.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, mines were privatized and many people began moving further south. Many of the mines had been abandoned and by September 2020, the estimated population was only about 50,000. That is down from 115,646 in 1989.

If that wasn’t enough, Vorkuta is also, interestingly, the coldest city in Europe: the record temperature low is -52 Celsius.
In my quest to set foot in every single federal subject in Russia, the Komi Republic was number 33! Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram for live updates @davelegenda 📷

The story of Vorkuta is indeed very sad, but fascinating at the same time, especially if you like off-the-beaten-path destinations! And we surely are into that!
All areas of Vorkuta are full with old Soviet buildings that are now abandoned, with the local administration that sees no sense (but most importantly has no money for it) in tearing them down. The result? From most streets, Vorkuta looks like a GHOST TOWN.
