With the depletion of gold reserves and the relocation of production to other parts of the area, Jur was downgraded to a village in the 1970s (and has since been abandoned), while Jugorjonok became independent as an urban-type settlement in 1978. With the decline of mining in the 1990s, the population of the place fell dramatically.
