The settlement is located in the south-eastern part of the Cherski Mountains, which is a good 1000  m high in this area, on the left bank of the left Kolyma tributary Debin .

Jagodnoye is the administrative center of the Jagodnoye Rajon of the same name .

history

The place was created in 1934 in connection with the construction of the Kolymatrasse , a road from Magadan to Ust-Nera , and the development of gold mining in the area. The name is derived from the Russian word jagoda for berry . From 1949 to 1957, Jagodnoye was home to the administration of the Northern Camp (SewLag) , a penal camp of the Dalstroi administration in the Gulag system with up to 15,800 prisoners who were employed in mining, road construction and forestry.

In 1953 Jagodnoye was given the status of an urban-type settlement at the same time the Rajon was established.

Culture, education and sights

In 1991 a memorial to the victims of the Stalinist repression from the 1920s to 1950s was erected in Jagodnoye , and in 1994 an associated museum.

Economy and Infrastructure

Gold mining is a local branch of the economy, but it has almost come to a standstill since the collapse of the Soviet Union . Other businesses, such as the building materials industry and the food supply, were also closed, which resulted in the massive emigration of the population.

Jagodnoye is located on the M56 trunk road , as the Kolymatrasse is officially called today, and is about 550 km away from Magadan. In Jagodnoje a road branches off to the (former) mining centers of Verkhny At-Urjach (35 km away) and Elgen .
