Mirny (Russian: Мирный, IPA: [ˈmʲirnɨj], lit. peaceful; Template:Lang-sah, Mirney, IPA: [ˈmiɾnej]) is a town and the administrative center of Mirninsky District in the Sakha Republic, Russia, located on the Irelyakh River (Vilyuy's basin), 820 kilometers (510 mi) west of Yakutsk, the capital of the republic. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 37,188.[2]
History
Mirny was founded in 1955 after the discovery of a nearby kimberlite pipe by an expedition led by Yury Khabardin.[citation needed] Town status was granted to it in 1959.[1]
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Mirny serves as the administrative center of Mirninsky District.[1] As an inhabited locality, Mirny is classified as a town under republic jurisdiction.[1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated within Mirninsky District as the Town of Mirny.[1] As a municipal division, the Town of Mirny is incorporated within Mirninsky Municipal District as Mirny Urban Settlement.[3]
Economy
The Mir mine is in the town. It is an open hole, which, with the depth of 525 meters (1,722 ft) and a diameter of 1.25 kilometers (0.78 mi) is reckoned[by whom?] to be the fourth largest in the world. The mine was closed in 2011, due to the difficulties of working in that location. As of February 2016, the mine is operational again.[10]
Transportation
The town is served by the Mirny Airport. Safety concerns have been raised about aircraft operations near to the open diamond mine; helicopters are forbidden to pass over the abandoned workings.
