Konergino

Like other villages in the district such as Amguema, Konergino is a reindeer-herding settlement. The settlement is located on the eastern shore of Kresta Bay, south of Egvekinot. The village's name is derived from the Chukchi Kei'i'yergyn, meaning "curved valley".[10] The village has a high school, a cultural center, a daycare center, a food store.[11]

Founded in 1927, Konergino was originally part of the Nutepelmen Agricultural Soviet and belonged to Anadyrsky District At that time the housing in the village conssited of little more than a few huts and Yarangas. However, in 1939, Konergino was split off from the Nutepelmen Soviet and established as its own kholkoz. Following this establishment, a new warehouse was built along with wooden frame and stone houses. In 1953, a hospital was constructed in the village along with a boarding school, with a kindergarten being added two years later. In 1984 a two-storey secondary school was completed.[12]

The main occupation of the inhabitants are reindeer herding and marine craft. The village is the central base for the municipal agricultural enterprise "Revival" (Russian: Возрождение). The village has a boarding school, outpatients clinic, a post office, communications center, clubhouse and two shops.[13] The surrounding villages are an old airfield and Olovyannaya Bay the site of the landing of the founders of the settlement. To date, all the houses of the village are in a state of disrepair. In the future, the construction of new housing.[14]

The population according to the most recent census results is 424,[3] of which 279 are men and 252 women,[4] a significant reduction on a 2006 estimate of 560;[10] which itself is flat against a 2003 estimate of 559,[11] of whom the vast majority were Chukchi.[11]
