Usinsk:

Usinsk was founded in 1966 as a settlement at the newly discovered deposits of petroleum in the north of the Komi Republic. Town status was granted to it in 1984. Usinsk is administratively directly under the republic. The town's area is 30,600 square kilometers (11,814.7 sq mi).

The town is the center for the production of oil and gas in the Komi Republic. Three quarters of all the oil produced in the republic comes from the fields in the territory around Usinsk. In 1980 the town was connected to the Pechora Railway by a 108 km long sidetrack.
