Khabarovsk is often considered the capital of the
Far East. This is a large and rather contrasting city, located on
the banks of the wide, majestic Amur, 20 kilometers from the Chinese
border. Khabarovsk is the most Russian city in the Far East.
Outwardly, it is a bit like the big cities of the Volga region: the
same new buildings chaotically wedged into the urban landscape and
the same - familiar to the Volga region, but phenomenal by Far
Eastern standards - an abundance of pre-revolutionary architecture.
Although Khabarovsk can not boast of either the seaside flavor of
Vladivostok, or selected sights of at least national significance,
it is still worth coming here, and to some extent this is
inevitable: all the routes of the Khabarovsk Territory converge
here.
Khabarovsk was founded in 1858 as a military post
Khabarovka, named after the 17th century Russian explorer Erofey
Khabarov. Since 1880 - the city of Khabarovka, the administrative
center of the Primorsky region, since 1884 - the administrative
center of the Amur Governor-General. It was renamed Khabarovsk in
1893.
There are five districts in Khabarovsk - Central,
Industrial, Kirovsky, Krasnoflotsky and Zheleznodorozhny. The city
stretches along the river for almost 40 kilometers, the historical
part is located mainly in the Central District, located on three
hills, the closer you get to the Amur.
It is best to explore
the city on foot (if you are used to large crossings), starting from
Lenin Square to the Admiral Nevelskoy embankment, along the main
Muravyov-Amursky street. Along the way you can find many shops,
restaurants and cafes. If you go to the embankment, then to the
right of Muravyov-Amursky Street is Amursky Boulevard, to the left
is Ussuriysky Boulevard. They are located in a lowland, forming the
central of the hills, parallel to which are two others - with
Serysheva Street (on the right) and Lenin Street (on the left). The
architecture of Seryshev and Lenin streets differs from the
beautiful pre-revolutionary buildings on the street.
Muravyov-Amursky, and is mainly a "Stalinist" and modern building.
Amursky and Ussuriysky boulevards until the 1960s. did not exist,
the Cherdymovka and Plyusninka rivers flowed along the lowlands. Old
"pre-revolutionary" houses can only be seen in the center and at the
base of the Red Banner Amur Flotilla, Khabarovsk, in general, has
"Soviet" and "post-Soviet" buildings.
In the jargon of the
Far East, Khabarovsk is called “Khabara” or “Kha”.
By plane
There are four airfields within the city:
Khabarovsk-Central (or "large airfield"), Khabarovsk-New, Dynamo and
Khabarovsk-MVL. For an ordinary tourist, only Khabarovsk-New and
Khabarovsk-MVL are of interest, since Khabarovsk-Tsentralny is a purely
departmental airfield (Air Force, Ministry of Emergency Situations,
Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB), and the Dynamo airfield belongs to
the DOSAAF flying club.
1 New Airport (ICAO: UHHH, IATA: KHV). ☎
+7 (4212) 26-20-06 (inquiry), +7 (4212) 26-26-62 (ticket office).
International airport "Khabarovsk-New" - out of class, and allows you to
take any aircraft. It is certified according to ICAO category II and has
a certificate of the highest category for flight support and
infrastructure (there are only six such airports in our country). The
airport annually serves about 2 million passengers and steadily holds
the first place among the Far Eastern air hubs. Flights are operated
throughout our vast country, the Far East region and the Khabarovsk
Territory, as well as to the Asia-Pacific countries (China, Korea,
Vietnam, Japan). Cargo planes fly to Amsterdam, Zhanzhou, Hong Kong, Los
Angeles.
The airport is located on the northeastern outskirts, 10
kilometers from the city center.
The first stone building of the
airport was built in 1954, then on the right in 1965 a new standard
two-story terminal building was built, which worked until 1994, and was
also closed due to the construction of a new terminal and the KDP
building. Now the first old building houses the administration and
customs, the second building was demolished in the fall of 2017, and a
new building of the international terminal was also built. It should be
noted that buses and trolleybuses depart (and arrive) from the station
square opposite the former old Soviet terminal, which is somewhat
inconvenient (it’s not pleasant to stomp on foot with suitcases), and a
huge paid parking lot has been built opposite the new terminal. However,
on the site of the demolished terminal building, it is planned to put
into operation a new modern building in 2019.
From the airport to
the city center can be reached by trolleybus number 1, to the railway
station can be reached by bus number 35 or by taxi. From the airport,
you can also take a bus to the Southern microdistrict (Industrialny
district of the city) and to the Krasnoflotsky district (the base of the
Red Banner Amur Flotilla).
To the left of the terminal building
(opposite the international terminal) is the hotel "Aeropolis"
(Matveevskoe highway 30, tel. +7 (4212) 24-34-1) - an old restored
building. Quite nice, but quite expensive.
The airport and the
surrounding area is under tight video surveillance. Do not even try to
smoke in the wrong place or park outside the parking lot - you will
certainly be exposed and punished by vigilant law enforcement officers.
edit
Also in Khabarovsk there is an airport of local airlines
"Khabarovsk-MVL", from where flights are made on small planes to remote
northern regions of the region, which cannot be reached by land
transport. This airport is located almost opposite the "New", but a
kilometer closer to the city center (one bus stop). Opposite the
airport, a veteran of Soviet aviation, the Mi-1 helicopter, was erected
on a pedestal.
By train
The best way to get to Khabarovsk from
the western regions of the country is to take a train ticket on the
Trans-Siberian Railway. In Khabarovsk there is a large railway junction
connecting the western, northern and southern directions of the Far
East.
Since the city is located on the right bank of the Amur
River, trains heading to the west or north cross the river through the
famous Amur Bridge, almost 4 kilometers long (this bridge is depicted on
the five thousandth banknote of the Bank of Russia). However, few people
know that to duplicate the bridge under the Amur, a railway tunnel more
than 7 km long was dug, which continues to be used - usually trains
traveling from west to east pass through the tunnel. Frankly, when
driving through this tunnel, the sensations are reminiscent of flying in
an airplane - it’s scary (just imagine that there is a huge river on
top) and it also lays your ears from pressure drops.
2 Railway
station, Leningradskaya st. 58. ☎ +7 (4212) 38-39-40, Station
Khabarovsk-1 out of class, has five boarding platforms (apron and four
platforms). Passenger traffic reaches 3 million people a year. This
station is a mandatory stop for all trains on the Trans-Siberian
Railway.
Long-distance trains pass through the station: branded
"Rossiya" Vladivostok-Moscow No. 1/2 and Vladivostok-Moscow No. 99/100,
Vladivostok-Novosibirsk No. 7/8, Vladivostok-Novokuznetsk No. 207/208
(and even before 2010 the most long-distance train in the country on the
route Kharkiv-Vladivostok).
"Russia" goes every other day. Travel
time from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok is 13 hours, from Khabarovsk to
Moscow about 5 and a half days (134 hours). The train makes a minimum
number of stops along the way, sometimes the hauls last 5-6 hours.
Trains leave in the south direction: branded "Ocean"
Khabarovsk-Vladivostok No. 5/6 and Khabarovsk-Pacific (Nakhodka) No.
113/114. In the western direction, trains run:
Khabarovsk-Blagoveshchensk No. 35/36, Khabarovsk-Neryungri No. 325/326
and Khabarovsk-Chegdomyn No. 663/664.
To the north there is a
train - branded "Yunost" Khabarovsk-Komsomolsk-on-Amur No. 667/668.
Train Vladivostok-Sovetskaya Gavan No. 351/352. This train runs from
seashore to seashore in two days, in transit through Khabarovsk and
Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and also crosses the Sikhote-Alin mountain system at
an altitude of about 600 meters.
Trains are quite numerous, but
are suitable only for short trips around the area. In the western
direction, four electric trains a day reach Volochaevka, three of them
reach Birobidzhan (2.5 hours), and one even reaches Obluchye on the
western border of the Jewish Autonomous Region (6 hours). To the south,
if you wish, you will reach the Vyazemskaya station, where you will get
stuck, since there are no further electric trains: you need to change to
a distant train.
The three-story building of the Khabarovsk-1
station (with a basement) was built in the style of Russian Art Nouveau
(with an attic third floor in the style of Russian wooden architecture).
The station is close enough to the city center, but still not in the
very center: it is about two kilometers to Lenin Square. Directly in
front of the station (behind the station square, about 130 meters) there
is a tram stop, from which trams 1 and 2 will take you to
Muravyov-Amursky Street (this is already quite the center). If there are
no trams, focus on buses or minibuses following Leningradskaya Street to
the east, that is, from the station to the left .. edit
In the
basement of the station, there is an exit to the boarding areas,
suburban ticket offices (6:00–22:00), military ticket offices, and a
waiting room with several rows of metal chairs. On the ground floor of
the ticket office for long-distance trains, you will also find a good
and very popular dining room “Spoon” (8:00–22:00, hot dishes 60-100
rubles, there is a bar with coffee and alcohol), above which there is a
more expensive and the less crowded Gustav Brasserie (11:00–24:00). The
second floor of the station itself is occupied by a common waiting room
(access only upon presentation of a ticket) and a superior waiting room
(170 rubles for 3 hours or 240 rubles for 6 hours). Nearby are a couple
of 24-hour eateries, which usually do not have an influx of visitors due
to a very mediocre cuisine. Toilets are located on the ground floor.
A large grocery supermarket (8:00–23:00) is located in the Erofey
Khabarov shopping complex to the right of the station on the station
square (on the left if your back is to the station). In the same
building is the Golden Bird fast food (7:30–23:00, Wi-Fi is announced)
and, right inside the fast food, a dim bar with the mysterious name
Coffeechick. The Golden Bird specializes in burgers and is fast food in
the worst sense of the word, but it is freer here than in the Spoon
inside the station.
Access to the platforms is via an underground
passage. The transition was under reconstruction for 9 long years and
was solemnly launched at the end of May 2018.
Be prepared for the
fact that at the station "station prices", but in general, the price
difference with the city is not big. If you are short on money, then you
can democratically have a bite to eat pies in the kiosks to the left of
the station near the entrance to the viaduct (on the right, if you stand
with your back to the main entrance).
In addition to the station
in Khabarovsk, there are at least a dozen stations and stopping points,
but long-distance trains do not stop there.
By car
The city is
a connecting point of the federal highways Chita - Khabarovsk, the
highway R-297 (the old name is M58) "Amur"; Khabarovsk -
Komsomolsk-on-Amur 08A-1, (old name P454) and Khabarovsk - Vladivostok
A-370 (old name M60) "Ussuri".
If you do not want to be stuck in
traffic jams, then the city can be easily and naturally bypassed in 40
minutes along the outskirts: the bridge over the Amur, then through
Aviagorodok, Topolevo - to Komsomolskoye Highway. If you need to go to
Komsomolsk-on-Amur or Vanino, then continue straight ahead until you get
to road 08A-1, and if you are moving south (in Primorye), you can turn
sharply to the right after Topolevo, or in Vostochny, Chernaya river or
Sergeevka, and go along any of the country roads (they are all quite
normal) keeping the general direction to the village. Ilyinka, after
which there will be an interchange and access to the A-370 road.
The construction of a modern bypass road has begun, which, obviously,
will run from the airport interchange through Garovka, and go beyond the
village. Ilyinka, a couple of kilometers to the interchange on the
Vladivostok highway.
By bus
3 Bus station, st. Voronezhskaya,
19. ☎ +7(4212)56-39-09 (inquiry), +7 (4212) 56-31-93 (control room), +7

By
bus, you can go to Primorye - in the village. Luchegorsk, the cities of
Vladivostok, Lesozavodsk, Ussuriysk, Arseniev, Dalnegorsk.
The
station is a nondescript typical Soviet two-story building. On the
ground floor there are cash registers, waiting areas, luggage rooms and
eateries, almost the entire second floor is given over to retail
outlets. The exit to the boarding platform is behind the station (you
can go through the building). On the forecourt square there are trading
stalls of various kinds. Buses leave every few minutes during the day.
Buses are announced over loudspeakers. On private buses operating under
the banner of "tourist", boarding may not be announced, so keep track of
the bus for boarding on your own, otherwise you can easily not leave.
When boarding the bus, passengers are registered, the missing ones are
called by phone (if you are asked for a phone number when buying a
ticket, do not refuse to dictate it).
To the right of the bus
station there is a hotel of the Five Stars travel company.
In a
small square near the station building there is a monument to the dead
prisoners of war.
In general, the Khabarovsk bus station makes a
rather unpleasant impression due to chronic dirt, an abundance of
dubious personalities, low-quality food and nightmarishly dense traffic
on the adjacent Voronezhskaya Street. It does its job well, but nothing
more.

Khabarovsk is a fairly safe city, although the usual
precautions should not be forgotten: in particular, avoid visiting
remote and industrial areas at night. You can also run into trouble in
the area of \u200b\u200bthe railway and bus stations.
In winter,
good warm clothing is required - winter in the city is quite cold and
windy, daytime temperatures in January usually exceed -20 degrees.
Summers are hot and humid, and during the summer months in the city
there is just a huge number of blood-sucking insects - midges and
horseflies. Locals indifferently consider them a necessary evil ...
In the spring and early summer, you need to take care of protection
against the encephalitis tick if you are going to travel outside the
city. Measures include various repellents and vaccinations.
In
the historical center, it is forbidden to cross the road on some streets
if you just walk along the sidewalk. It is supposed to go to the
opposite side, cross the intersection, and return back. The police can
stop you for this.
It was founded on May 31 according to the old style
(June 12 according to the new style) in 1858 as the post of Khabarovka
by the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia Nikolai Muravyov, named after
the Russian explorer of the 17th century Yerofey Khabarov. The first
builder is the commander of the 13th Siberian linear battalion, Captain
Yakov Dyachenko. Since 1880 - the city of Khabarovka, the administrative
center of the Primorsky region, since 1884 - the administrative center
of the Amur Governor-General. It was renamed Khabarovsk in 1893.
On November 15, 1922, as part of the Far Eastern Republic, it became
part of the RSFSR. Since 1926, the city has been the administrative
center of the Far Eastern Territory, since 1938 - the Khabarovsk
Territory. From May 13, 2000 to December 13, 2018, the city was the
administrative center of the Far Eastern Federal District.
Khabarovsk is in the MSK+7 time zone. The offset of the applicable time from UTC is +10:00. In accordance with the applied time and geographic longitude, the average solar noon in Khabarovsk occurs at 13:00.
The city is located in Asia, in the southern part of
the Middle Amur lowland, not far from the confluence of the Amur and
Ussuri rivers, about 17 km from the State border of Russia to the city
limits. The area of the city is 37.2 thousand hectares, the length along
the banks of the Amur and the Amur channel is 33 kilometers. The average
width is 10 km (from the right bank of the Pemzenskaya channel opposite
the village of Vladimirovka to the village named after Gorky (as part of
the Zheleznodorozhny district) - about 24 km).
It is located on
the elevated right bank of the Amur, the relief of which is varied and
complex. The central part of Khabarovsk stretches on gentle ridges with
absolute marks of 70-90 meters above sea level and relative elevations
of 20-30 meters. The distance to Moscow is 8237 km, and to Vladivostok -
750 km.
Khabarovsk is located in the monsoonal Far Eastern
region of the temperate climate zone. This region has a temperate
monsoonal climate. Winter is snowy and cold. Summers are hot and humid.
The average January temperature is −19.2 °C,
The average
temperature in July is +21.4 °C,
The average annual temperature is
+2.7 °C,
An absolute minimum of -43 °C was recorded in January
1922, and on January 14, 2011, the temperature dropped to -40 °C. The
absolute maximum of +36.7 °C was in June 2010. In June 2008, the
temperature reached +35.1 °C, which was the temperature record for June,
but on June 27, 2010, the record was broken by 1.6 degrees and amounted
to +36.7 °C.
An average of 696 mm of precipitation falls
annually. The maximum amount of precipitation per day - 121.2 mm - was
recorded in July 1985. The maximum amount of precipitation for the month
fell in August 1981 and amounted to 434 mm.
The number of sunny
days per year is significantly higher than in many large Russian cities
(up to 300 days per year; in Moscow and St. Petersburg - about 100).
This is due to the dominance of the Siberian anticyclone in winter, due
to which, from November to March, very dry and frosty continental air
sets in over the city with clear and sunny weather.
The World
Meteorological Organization has decided that it is necessary to
calculate two climate normals: the climatological standard and the
reference one. The climatological standard normal is updated every ten
years, and the reference normal covers the period from 1961 to 1990.
Until the middle of the 19th century, the territory of present-day
Khabarovsk, in accordance with the Nerchinsk Treaty, was located on
neutral territory, not delimited between the Qing Empire and the
Russian. In 1858, in the Chinese city of Aigun, negotiations began
between representatives of the Qing Empire and the Russian Empire to
determine the ownership of the disputed territories. From the Russian
side, they were led by the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, Nikolai
Nikolayevich Muravyov, from the Chinese side, by the Amur
commander-in-chief Ishan. On May 16 (28), 1858, the Aigun Treaty was
signed, according to which the entire left bank of the Amur passed into
the possession of the Russian Empire, the right bank to the Ussuri River
passed into the possession of China, and the Ussuri Territory from the
confluence of the Ussuri into the Amur to the sea was declared to be in
common ownership” until the boundaries are determined.
After the
signing of the agreement, by order of Muravyov, the 13th Siberian linear
battalion under the command of Captain Yakov Dyachenko was sent to
establish settlements along the Amur. In the order, Yakov Dyachenko was
entrusted with "management of the 2nd department of the Amur line, to
which our settlements along the Ussuri join under the public command of
the military governor of the Primorsky region, Rear Admiral Kazakevich."
Muravyov arrived at the Ust-Ussuri post of Kazakevichev on May 31 (June
12), 1858 and became convinced of the insufficiency of the territory to
accommodate the village near the mouth of the Ussuri River, choosing
another place indicated to Muravyov in February 1854 by G. I. Nevelsky.
June 12 is considered the founding day of Khabarovsk and is
celebrated as City Day according to tradition on May 31 in the old
style.
The guard team in Khabarovka appeared after the Nominal Decree of the
Russian Emperor Alexander II of April 18 (30), 1867.
In 1864, the
military topographer Mikhail Lyubensky made the first plan for the
development of the future city, along which Beregovaya (now Shevchenko
Street) became the central street. By 1865, there were 1,294 residents
in Khabarovka - mostly soldiers and officers of the 13th East Siberian
linear battalion. Three ridges of the distant spurs of the Sikhote-Alin
became the historical part of the urban development, where the first
streets, the first quarters appeared. The first inhabitants called them
"mountains" - Military Mountain (now Seryshev Street), Artillery
Mountain (now Lenin Street) and Srednyaya Mountain (now Muravyov-Amursky
Street).
Initially, military buildings were built in Khabarovka.
Already five years after its founding, there were 167 buildings in
Khabarovka, among them - the house of a military leader, a barracks,
food warehouses, residential buildings and trading shops. Due to its
very convenient location at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri
rivers, Khabarovka began to develop very quickly. Following the military
settlers, civilians began to arrive - among them were natives of
Transbaikalia, Siberia, Orenburg, Perm, Kazan, Kursk, Nizhny Novgorod,
Kiev, Bessarabia and Ryazan provinces, Moscow and St. Petersburg. The
military and officials usually came to Khabarovka for several years for
preferential service and promotion. Soldiers, Cossacks, merchants,
craftsmen and peasants remained for a long time or forever. The main
occupations at this time were fur and fishing and non-equivalent
exchange with the natives; these occupations were considered very
profitable business, attracting many people. The settlers were provided
with fertile lands free of charge, which also contributed to the
movement of new residents to Khabarovka.
Administratively,
Khabarovka was subordinate to the Sofia District with the center in the
city of Sofiysk (now a village), which was part of the Primorsky Region
of the East Siberian Governor General. At the end of the 1860s, the Amur
Engineering Distance was located in Khabarovka, in the 1870s the
artillery facilities were transferred there, whose buildings are still
preserved in the city.
By 1880, that is, 22 years after its
founding, Khabarovka was already a fairly large settlement in the
Primorsky region - 2036 people lived in it; of these, 47.3% were
military, 23% were bourgeois, 21.3% were foreigners (mainly Chinese
workers), 1.4% were representatives of the indigenous population, and 7%
were officers, clergy, merchants, and industrialists. The capital of the
region at that time was Nikolaevsk, but Khabarovka had a more
advantageous geographical position, as it was at the crossroads of all
communications from Vladivostok and the coast. On April 28 (May 10),
1880, the settlement of Khabarovka was appointed the center of the
Primorsky region and transformed into a city. Four years later, on June
16 (28), 1884, the East Siberian General Government was divided into the
Irkutsk General Government and the Amur Region, with Khabarovka as its
administrative center.
On October 21 (November 2), 1893, the city was renamed
Khabarovsk.
On September 1 (13), 1897, the first train left
the Khabarovsk railway station - the Ussuri railway was brought to
Khabarovsk along the Ussuri River, connecting it with Vladivostok.
The population of the city at that time was 14,900 people. On July
30 (August 12), 1913, near Khabarovsk, the construction of the
Bridge of the heir to Tsarevich Alexei Nikolayevich across the Amur
River was solemnly laid. October 5 (18), 1916 - the construction of
a railway bridge across the Amur was completed with a grand opening
- Khabarovsk was connected by the Amur Railway with Eastern Siberia.
After the February Revolution, on March 4 (17), 1917, the Soviet of
Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies was elected for the first time in
Khabarovsk. In the fall of 1917, elections were held for bodies new to
the Far East - zemstvos. Most of them received mainly
Socialist-Revolutionaries. Far Eastern zemstvos immediately began to lay
claim to political power. They were in charge of not only issues of
everyday life, but also law enforcement agencies. Immediately after the
elections, the public security committees were disbanded and the
zemstvos actually became the new authorities.
On December 6 (19),
1917, Khabarovsk was captured by the Red Guard detachments of the
Khabarovsk Dalsovnarkom, after which the 3rd Congress of Soviets of the
Far East took place in the city from December 12 to 20, proclaiming
Soviet power throughout the Far East. The Far Eastern Regional Committee
of the Soviets of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies and
Self-Governments was also elected, and the Bolshevik A. M.
Krasnoshchekov became its chairman.
In September 1918, under the
pressure of the advance of Ataman Ivan Kalmykov and Japanese troops,
Dalsovnarkom was evacuated from Khabarovsk. On September 5, 1918, the
city passed into the hands of a detachment of the White Guard ataman
Ivan Kalmykov, united with the Czech units of General Mikhail Diterikhs
and with the support of the 12th Japanese division. Parts of Kalmykov
controlled the Trans-Siberian Railway from Nikolsk-Ussuriysky to
Khabarovsk. Kalmykov in his reign relied on the Japanese and was in
conflict with the commander of the American expeditionary forces,
General William Graves, whose troops guarded the Trans-Siberian Railway
in the area from Vladivostok to Nikolsk-Ussuriysky.
January 28,
1919 - the uprising of the Cossack hundreds against Ataman Kalmykov was
suppressed, the rebels were sent to the American filtration camp on the
Red River. May 10, 1919 - officers and cadets, led by captain Epov,
declare Kalmykov mentally disabled. Their uprising is put down the next
day. February 13, 1920 - after the defeat of Alexander Kolchak and the
evacuation of the interventionists from Primorye, Ataman Kalmykov left
for Manchuria.
February 16, 1920 - the forces of the Red
partisans entered the city. March 11, 1920 - The Khabarovsk City Duma
recognized the authority of the Primorsky Regional Zemstvo Council.
April 5, 1920 - during an unexpected performance of the Japanese
imperial army, Khabarovsk became the scene of fierce battles between the
Japanese and partisan forces.
August 22, 1920 - The Khabarovsk
City Duma proclaimed the Khabarovsk district an independent Khabarovsk
Republic. The republic was liquidated the next day by the authorities of
the Far Eastern Republic.
December 21, 1921 - Khabarovsk was
occupied by the troops of the Amur Provisional Government under the
command of General Viktorin Molchanov, who received the name of the
Rebel White Army. Then they went on the defensive. On February 5-14,
1922, as a result of the Volochaev battle, Molchanov’s detachments were
defeated and retreated to Primorye, and Khabarovsk was occupied by
detachments of the People’s Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern
Republic under the command of Vasily Blucher.
November 14, 1922 -
after the liquidation of the Far Eastern Republic, Khabarovsk became
part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.
April 20, 1923 - the first plenum of the permanent Khabarovsk City
Council was solemnly opened. December 6, 1923 - the administrative

the city was given the status of the administrative center of the
Khabarovsk Territory. On August 15, 1940, through the Volochaevka II
station, Khabarovsk was connected by rail with Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
Since June 1940, the administration of the Far Eastern Front was
stationed in Khabarovsk, since August 1945 - the headquarters of the
High Command of the Soviet troops in the Far East (Marshal of the Soviet

The city has repeatedly taken first place among the administrative
centers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the
competition for the title of "The most comfortable city in Russia" for
2004, 2006, 2008 and 2012. According to a study conducted in 2012 by the
Public Chamber, Khabarovsk was recognized as the most expensive city in

In late summer - early autumn 2013, Khabarovsk
was hit by a flood, which became the strongest for the entire
observation period since 1897.
On December 13, 2018, by decree of
