Text I

I like to live in Khanty-Mansiysk. It is small but very comfortable. The great part of the territory is covered with woods. The town stands on the seven hills. On one of the hills there is a beautiful cathedral which can be seen from many parts of the town. If you look down from hill on the city, the view is spectacular. Unique identity of modern architecture combined with the unique ancient nature. All these facts attract tourists and visitors to Khanty-Mansiysk every year.

 Khanty-Mansiysk is the capital of the Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous okrug - Ugra. It is one of the most beautiful and unusual towns of Western Siberia. The population of Khanty-Mansiysk is about 95,300 (2015), the area - 338 sq. km. Khanty-Mansiysk is one of the few Russian administrative centers which is smaller than the other cities of the region. It is only the fourth largest town in the Khanty-Mansiysk okrug after Surgut, Nizhnevartovsk and Nefteyugansk. There is always something to see and to do for business people in our town because it is a centre of Okrug, which is rich in natural resources such as oil and gas. The town's economy is more than 2500 companies and organizations. Khanty-Mansiysk is formed not only as center of the oil region, but is increasingly becoming a center of business activity, sport and national culture.
