history

View of Njonoksa

The Pomoric village of Njonoksa was first mentioned in 1397 in a document of the Moscow Grand Duke Vasily Dmitrijewitsch .

In 1553, the English navigator Richard Chancellor landed an attempt to open up a north-east passage for the English merchant fleet west of the Nikolo Korelski monastery near Njonoksa. In the following, lively trade relations developed between the Kingdom of England and Tsarist Russia , in the course of which the city of Arkhangelsk was established in 1584.

Up until the 19th century, Njonoksa was one of the largest centers of salt boiling and by 1890 had more than 1200 inhabitants. Due to the extraction of salt from large salt deposits in the Urals , production became unprofitable, so that salt production was stopped in the 20th century.

On August 8, 2019, the Njonoksa nuclear accident occurred near the site , in which several people were killed or seriously injured.

Rocket launch site

About two kilometers north of Njonoksa, east of the Sopka settlement , there is a military training area for testing submarine-based ballistic missiles for nuclear submarines . Since the 1960s, prototypes of the R-29 and R-39 missiles have been tested here. For reasons of secrecy, the Ukrainian city of Feodosia in the Crimean Oblast was officially given as the location of the military training area for a long time .

Like Severodvinsk, Njonoksa, due to its military importance, is located in an area with restricted access that foreigners without special permission are not allowed to enter. Furthermore, Russian citizens can only travel to Njonoksa with a special ID.

Economy and Infrastructure

In Njonoksa is the Troitsky Church ( Троицкая церковь ) built in 1724, the only wooden church in Russia with five tent roofs . There are also two sacred buildings , the Nikolsky Church ( Никольская церковь ) built in 1763 and a bell tower built in 1834.

There are no year-round road connections to Njonoksa. The most important transport and traffic connection is on the 65 km long railway line Issakogorga - Severodvinsk - Njonoksa , which is owned by the Russian Northern Railway . The most important employer is the military training area.
