Krasnoarmeysky District (Russian: Красноарме́йский райо́н) is an administrative[1] and municipal[7] district (raion), one of the twenty-two in Primorsky Krai, Russia. It is located in the center of the krai and borders with Pozharsky District in the northwest and north, Terneysky District in the east, the territory of Dalnegorsk Town Under Krai Jurisdiction in the south, and with Dalnerechensky District in the southwest and west. The area of the district is 20,603.4 square kilometers (7,955.0 sq mi).[3] Its administrative center is the rural locality (a selo) of Novopokrovka.[2] Population: 18,537 (2010 Census);[4] 20,820 (2002 Census);[9] 27,555 (1989 Census).[10] The population of Novopokrovka accounts for 19.7% of the district's total population.[4]

Geography

The main rivers in the district are the Bolshaya Ussurka and the Armu. The Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve is located in the east of the district.

Climate

The climate conditions of Krasnoarmeysky District sharply differ from those on the coast. The Sikhote-Alin mountain range is a natural barrier which blocks the penetration of the monsoonal winds from the south and the east, forming a specific microclimate of the district. Frosts of −40 to −42 °C (−40 to −44 °F) are very frequent in winter, while in summer the heat exceeds +30 °C (86 °F). The mean annual temperature is −10 °C (14 °F), compared with +5 °C (41 °F) in the south of the krai. Despite the climate conditions, however, the population of the district grows apples, plums, cherries, and watermelons.

Economy

Tungsten and timber, fur and gold are produced in the district. The Primorsky Ore Mining and Processing Enterprise operates here.

Media

The Sikhote-Alin newspaper is published in the district.
