history

The Evenks settled the area in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and in the first half of the 17th century the area became part of Russia. In 1930 the autonomous district was formed. The last governor of the federal subject until December 31, 2006 was Boris Nikolayevich Zolotaryov.

The main inner belt asteroid (2656) Evenkia was named after the Evenk Autonomous Okrug.

economy

The region was one of the most economically underdeveloped in Russia. Extraction of mineral resources (diamonds, coal, oil) is difficult because of the remoteness. The traditional industries of the Evenks are reindeer herding, fishing and fur hunting.

The Turukhansk hydropower plant is to be built on the Lower Tunguska by 2020 . It will be the largest hydropower plant in Russia with a capacity of 12 GW .
