Motygino ( Russian Моты́гино ) is an urban-type settlement in the Krasnoyarsk region in Russia with 5902 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).
geography
The place is a good 260 km as the crow flies north-northeast of the regional administrative center Krasnoyarsk in the southern part of the Yenisei Ridge on the right bank of the Angara , which is over 5 km wide with several arms.
Motygino is the administrative center of the Motyginsky Rajons and the seat of the municipality (gorodskoje posselenije) Possjolok Motygino, which also includes the settlement of Reshayushchi, 4 km to the northeast.
history
The place was founded in 1671 and named after the family name of the first Russian settler Motygin . It took off with the gold boom in the region around the middle of the 19th century.
On July 1, 1931, Motygino came to the newly founded Udereiski rajon with administrative headquarters in the gold mining center of Yuzhno-Jenisseiski (today Yuzhno-Jenisseisk ), just under 70 km north . When its importance declined in the 1950s, the administration was relocated to the more conveniently located and now larger Motygino and the Rajons renamed accordingly. Since 1960 the place has had the status of an urban-type settlement.

traffic
Motygino is the end point of the 140 km long regional road 04K-045, which branches off the 04K-044 Krasnoyarsk - Yenisseisk not far from Strelka at the Angara estuary and follows the left Angaraufer uphill to a little below Motygino, mostly at some distance. The Yenisei , the Angara tributary Mugyeva and the Angara are crossed by car ferry . In Motygino, several local roads begin in the northern part of the Rajon, for example the 04N-644 to Rasdolinsk (further than 04N-650 to Yuzhno-Yenisseysk) and the 04N-647 leading up the right Angaraufer to Ordzhonikidze .
Immediately to the east of the settlement is an airport that went into operation in 1978 ( ICAO code UNIM ) and which KrasAvia flies to several times a week from Krasnoyarsk- Cheremshanka (as of 2014). There is a landing stage at the Angara.
