Situation in Russia

Location in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast

Londoko ( Russian Лондоко ; name according to OKATO , in documents of the district administration Londoko- zavod , Лондоко-завод ) is an urban-type settlement in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast ( Russia ) with 1067 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The settlement is located in the eastern part of the Little Hinggan Mountains not far from the left bank of the Amur tributary Bira , above the confluence of the left tributary Great Kamenushka (Bolshaya Kamenushka), about 75 km as the crow flies west-northwest of the republic capital Birobidzhan .

Londoko belongs to Rajon Obluchye and is the administrative center Obluchye about 70 km to the east. The village of the same name, 4 km to the east, also belongs to the municipality (gorodskoje posselenije) Londoko. To distinguish the settlement is therefore partly called Londoko-sawod , so 'Londoko-Werk' .

history

The eastern village of Londoko was founded in 1913 in connection with the construction of the Amur railway from Kuenga to Khabarovsk , which went into operation on this section in 1915. The place name is probably of Evenk origin; However, there is no agreement about the meaning: it could be derived from the words for hill , or for tiger .

Extensive, industrially usable limestone deposits were discovered a little to the west of the village , on the basis of which a plant for processing them was created in the 1930s. The associated settlement was initially called simply Izvestkowy zavod like the plant (Russian Известковый завод ; 'lime works' ). In 1938, as Londoko , like the original village, it received the status of an urban-type settlement, also to prevent confusion with the Iswestkowy settlement 30 km to the west in the same district . The settlement consists of several separate residential areas north, east and south of the plant and train station.

Because of the significant population decline (by 70% within the last 50 years), a connection between the settlement and the community to Teploosjorsk, a little to the west, is always under discussion.

Economy and Infrastructure

The local company is the Kalkwerk, which was severely affected by the economic crisis in the 1990s and whose production came to a standstill several times.

The Iswestkowy Zavod station (km 8266 from Moscow ) is located near the Londoko settlement and the Londoko station (km 8270) of the Trans-Siberian Railway is located near the village . To the south, the M 58 Amur road from Chita to Khabarovsk bypasses the settlement and village , part of the transcontinental road connection.
