Geography

The South Kuril region belongs to the Far North ^[7] , although the average annual temperature here corresponds to Moscow (+5 ° C), and the average January temperature is -5 ° C.

It is located on the island of Kunashir of the Great Kuril ridge and the islands of the Lesser Kuril ridge . The region has preserved unspoiled nature with unique representatives of flora and fauna, but poor infrastructure and the remoteness of the region from civilization impede the development of tourism . There are plans to attract tourists ^[8] .

The South Kuril region (urban district) has sea borders in the north with the Kuril region (urban district) , and in the south it borders Japan with the sea.

History

On June 5, 1946, the South Kuril region was formed as part of the South Sakhalin region of the Khabarovsk Territory . On January 2, 1947, the Yuzhno-Sakhalin Region was liquidated; its territory was included in the Sakhalin Region , which was withdrawn from the Khabarovsk Territory . In June 2006, the South Kuril region was transformed into the municipality of the South Kuril City District . The territory of the district is the subject of a territorial dispute between Russia and Japan. Japan still includes it in the Nemuro district of Hokkaido ^[9] .

Population

The South Kuril urban district is superior in population to the Kuril and North Kuril urban districts, and the urban-type settlement Yuzhno-Kurilsk is the largest settlement on the Kuril Islands . Relatively mild climate, abundance of natural resources and important military-strategic importance contribute to the fact that the region attracts a large number of migrants, successfully competing with the regional center itself ^[10] . The natural population growth in 2017 and 2018 was also positive and tended to increase ^[11] .
