Krasneno (Russian: Краснено) is a rural locality (a selo) in Anadyrsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located southwest of Anadyr. Population as of 2005, according to an environmental impact report prepared for the Kupol gold project is 118[3], up from 95 in 2003.[7] The population consists mainly of indigenous Chukchi, who make up around 90% of the population,[7] though there is also a small number of Russians living there too. In 2005, of the people living in the village, 92 were of indigenous origin.[8] The village was formerly municipally incorporated as Krasneno Rural Settlement, but this was abolished in 2010 and the settlement is now part of Anadyrsky Municipal District inter-settlement territory.[2]

[edit] Origins

The name of the village literally means "red", although old maps show the village as called "Krasnyano", meaning rich or abundant in the Russian "old believers" dialect, in reference to fish stocks nearby is a small settlement,[9] located on the shores of Lake Krasnoye, from where the village gets its name with the lake being surrounded by red and brown rocks on its shoreline.[9]

[edit] Economy

The village has a general store, primary school, post office and a cultural centre. Local infrastructure has been assisted recently by the delivery from Alaska of several cottages.[7] The economy is centred around traditional hunting and fishing, unsurprising given the number of indigenous people living in the village.
