Situation in Russia

Location in the Kamchatka Region

Tilitschiki ( Russian Тили́чики ) is a village in the Kamchatka region ( Russia ) with 1744 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The village is located in the northeast of the Kamchatka Peninsula , on the shores of the Skrytaja Gawan lagoon ("Hidden Harbor") , which is separated from the northern part of the Korf Bay of the Bering Sea by a narrow spit . Tilitschiki is located almost 1000 kilometers (as the crow flies) northeast of the regional capital Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky . About six kilometers south on the spit is the village (formerly an urban-type settlement and larger than Tilitschiki) Korf with 1378 inhabitants (2006).

The place is the administrative center of the Oljutorski Rajons , named after the indigenous population of the area, the Koryaks , who were formerly called "Oljutorzen" (Russian oljutorzy ).

history

The village, known since 1898, became the administrative center of a Rajon of the newly established Korjak Autonomous Okrug in 1930.

In April 2006 the village was severely damaged by a series of earthquakes . The first quake occurred on April 21 (late evening of April 20 according to UTC ) and had a magnitude of 7.6. The hypocenter was located almost 90 kilometers northeast of the town at a depth of 22 kilometers under practically uninhabited area. Several aftershocks followed, and on April 29, another tremor with a magnitude of 6.6. In these strongest earthquakes in the region for more than 100 years, there were no fatalities, but three smaller villages of the Rajon (Apuka, Chailino, Wywenka) were completely destroyed.

Since Tilitschiki is the most important place on the more than 1000 km long stretch of coast between Anadyr in the north and Ust-Kamchatsk in the south, it was decided to rebuild the place. Until 2007 the new settlement Verkhnije Tilitschiki ( "Upper Tilitschiki" , unofficial name) was built at a slightly higher point above the sea .

Until June 30, 2007, the Rajon was part of the Koryak Autonomous Okrug ; since then it has belonged to the new region of the same name after the unification of the Autonomous Okrug with the Kamchatka Oblast . Tilichiki remained the administrative center of the Rajon.
