Artyom

The name "Artyom" honours Artyom Sergeyev, a revolutionary. It used to be a mining town, with huge reserves of lignite deep underground, which were used to generate power for much of the Primorsky Krai, but now the richest coal seams are mostly exhausted, with the remainder being rather uneconomical to mine, so nowadays it has refound itself as a support town to the growing Vladivostok Airport and a cheaper bedroom community for the Far East southern capital.
