Surgut is one of the few cities in Russia that overtake the administrative center for population and general development. According to the first indicator, it exceeds the Khanty-Mansiysk by more than six times: about 330 thousand people live in Surgut. In the region this city is second only to Tyumen. Surgut is a major river port and transport hub, as well as one of the main oil and gas centers of the country. Also, there are two power plants that are among the most powerful on the planet.
Surgut stands on the shore of the full-flowing Ob, and, according to legend, its name is formed from the words "fish place". Today, alas, you can forget about fishing in the city itself, but Surgutneftegaz, the oil giant's headquarters, is located in Surgut. The latter is the basis of the city's economy and one of the main suppliers of jobs.
