Situation in Russia

Location in the Khabarovsk region

Lasarew ( Russian Ла́зарев ) is an urban-type settlement in the Russian region of Khabarovsk with 1308 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

Lazarev and is situated on Cape Lazarev , a promontory that the Tatar Strait from the mouth of the Amur in the Sea of Okhotsk separates. The place is named after the Russian admiral Mikhail Petrovich Lasarew (1788-1851), who sailed from Kronstadt to the then still Russian province of Alaska from 1813 to 1816 . The strait between the island of Sakhalin and the mainland is only 7.3 km wide at Lasarev and is called Nevelskoistrasse , named after Gennady Ivanovich Nevelskoi . With the discovery of the strait in 1849, he finally proved that Sakhalin is an island and not a peninsula , as was still assumed at the time. The Lazarev settlement was established that same year. Due to the geographical conditions, there are plans to build the so-called Sakhalin tunnel here, which will connect the island with the mainland. The associated railway line Selichino-Sakhalin would also connect Lazarev to the rail network of the Russian railways . Construction work for the project from the 1950s can still be seen in the Lasarew area today. So far, Lazarev can only be reached by land via a 700 km long dirt road from Komsomolsk-on-Amur .
