Russia is a large state, whose people are deservedly considered the country's most valuable resource. For example, the population of Pyatigorsk is about 150 thousand people. This city is located in the Stavropol Territory. Let's talk about the people who live in it.
History of the city
Even in ancient times, this territory was inhabited. Archaeologists during excavations found here household appliances and various tools. It is also known that people in ancient times used local sources of hot water. Preserved baths, which were cut down specifically for healing procedures.
During the Golden Horde, namely in 1334, you can find the first mention of Bish-dag, which means "five mountains." Always a great advantage of this area was the protection from enemies, which provided the landscape. In 1561, a marriage was concluded between Maria Temryukovna, who was the heiress of the Kabardian ruler Temryuk, and Ivan the Terrible, due to which they attached greater importance to this region later on, strengthened political ties between the local population and Moscow.
Also, references to local sources appeared in the books of 1627. Under Peter I, scientists began to actively study them. The moment when the final rights to this area passed to the Russian Empire can be called 1774. A peaceful treaty was concluded with Turkey.
Population
Today Pyatigorsk is a famous resort city in which people of different nationalities live. As of 2014, the population of Pyatigorsk was 145.95 thousand people, and its density was 1.5 thousand people. per sq. m
This is largely due to the fact that in 2011, 4.5 thousand people moved here, who left other areas that are part of the Stavropol Territory, more distant areas, as well as from abroad.
The trend is still such that the population of Pyatigorsk is growing. In 2015, a population rating was compiled among the settlements of Russia. Pyatigorsk took 69th position.
Demographic situation
Considering the scale of the entire Stavropol region, we can say that in 2014, 36.68 thousand people were born, while 32.825 thousand people died. More families are complete than those where a parent is raising a child. 267 children were adopted and adopted in 2014.
However, it is worth noting that there are still a lot of divorces. For example, the ratio of marriage to divorce proceedings in 2015 was 100 to 58. We can conclude based on statistics collected by the employment center: Pyatigorsk in total shows an increase in demographic indicators.
For example, in 2010, the density was 2.033 thousand people / sq. Km, and in 2014 - 2064.23 thousand people / sq. km According to the parameter of natural growth in 2014, this locality was put in the ranking in 64th place. In addition, in the same year 2290 people were born here, thanks to which this territory took 104th place in the Russian Federation. 2166 people died. (100 position ranking). That is, we can say that fertility indicators exceed mortality, which, of course, is a positive sign.
The population of Pyatigorsk is steadily growing. According to official figures, 175 people migrated from here in 2014, although in reality the situation is turbulent, and we can talk about a serious outflow of the Russian population. 5,832 thousand people moved here, of which 3,078 thousand were female and 2,754 thousand were male. In terms of the influx of people, 87th place was received.
National composition
In 2010, the last census was conducted, according to the results of which we can characterize the population of Pyatigorsk as follows: most of all are Russians (101.857 thousand), that is 71.47%.
The second largest group are representatives of Armenian nationality, of which there are 18.72 thousand people. (13.31%). Next in the list are Azerbaijanis, of which 4.35 thousand (3.05%). A lot of Ukrainians - 2.55 thousand people, or 1.79%. Kabardins turned out to be 1.65 thousand (1.16%).
There are also a large number of other peoples whose total number is 13.14 thousand (9.22%). In total, the population of Pyatigorsk amounted to 142.511 thousand people as of 2010. It can be seen that the Slavic population makes up the bulk of the population in the city. The figures do not give much cause for concern, however, some details elude statistics services. In reality, everything is somewhat less rosy.
The outflow of the Russian population
It is worth noting that the population of Pyatigorsk is less and less composed of people of Russian nationality. The city authorities are trying to refute these rumors. Nevertheless, there are reasons to believe that the situation is quite alarming due to the fact that more and more Caucasians come to the city. The Slavic population often prefers to move closer to the center of the country. The data from the authorities are rather fragmented. People from neighboring areas come to Pyatigorsk because there is a very large market where you can engage in wholesale and retail trade.
We can talk about a high level of illegal migration, although official data indicate that the population of the city of Pyatigorsk is increasing mainly due to the Russians.
Troubling factors
It may seem that the indigenous people are confused by the strong influx of migrants traveling to the city to earn money, but there are a number of other important reasons. Over the past few years, this territory has been increasingly inhabited by newcomers who have arrived to earn money. Therefore, the only way to somehow arrange your life was to contact the employment center (Pyatigorsk), whose vacancies do not always meet the expectations of applicants. Spiritual management was justified for Muslims, which made terrorist attacks more likely.
And the explosion really took place in Pyatigorsk. Explosives were planted in Maryinskaya stanitsa, murders were committed. People just started to worry about their own lives. Stavropol began to be compared with Kosovo. At that time, the authorities all tried to reassure the public, assuring people that nothing terrible was happening. Journalists, as a rule, were bribed so that they would not incite unnecessary excitement and write what is beneficial to the rule of the city.
Discrimination of the Slavs
Chechen entrepreneurs at that time were actively buying real estate. So even if the Russians remain in the city, their life cannot be called cloudless, comfortable and calm.
Another depressing trend can be called the fact that although Slavs live in Pyatigorsk to a greater extent, visitors from the Caucasus occupy 50% of the posts in the administration of law enforcement agencies. This, of course, affects the result of their work.
The social support of the population of Pyatigorsk is becoming an increasingly acute issue. Russians are openly discriminating. If conflicts erupt between them and the Caucasian guests, the authorities, as a rule, help ensure that the matter is resolved in favor of the latter.
Lack of social guarantees
There is also a problem of employment for the indigenous population. The Employment Center (Pyatigorsk) is poorly assisted in finding a normal job. A person does not feel protected, does not see a way to self-actualize.
This can already be called a sufficient reason to leave the region. It is much easier to sell a house and leave when migrants come and occupy increasingly attractive positions.
Also, Central Russia is more attractive for students. There are more opportunities and prospects. The contract is cheaper, there is no constant fear and anxiety, radical Islamists with their claims. Military operations are underway in Dagestan, which makes such a neighborhood even more dangerous.
For the Caucasian population, this territory is considered more calm. Here, on the contrary, they have a chance to achieve something, to succeed in life. Everything is known in comparison, so with reference to the restless battlefield, Pyatigorsk can be called a paradise. Not only Russians migrate from here, but also representatives of Armenian nationality who have been living here for a long time. As a rule, they move to the territory of the Krasnodar Territory.
Need for change
The situation has not yet reached a critical level, but it is probably silly to sit and wait until this happens with folded arms. The severity of the situation added to the killings in the Predgorny region, as well as in the Maryinsky village.
It is difficult to talk about the ability of law enforcement agencies to ensure order in the city. Until decisive measures are taken to eliminate stress factors, the indigenous population may continue to leave the city, fearing for their own fate, although according to the latest census, the percentage of Russians fell slightly.
There is an opinion that the infringement of the rights of the Slavic population has become just another topic for speculation. In any case, no matter what the population in Pyatigorsk is by ethnic composition, people should never lose their human appearance and switch to overt aggression.
