Khanty-Mansiysk (Russian: Ха́нты-Манси́йск) is a city on the eastern bank of the Irtysh River in Siberia, Russia. An oil boom town, it is today the administrative center of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. The city covers 250.1 sq km (96.6 sq mi) and has a population of 79,500 people (2012 estimate).

Khanty-Mansiysk was only established in 1930. Originally called Ostyako-Vogulsk, it was renamed Khanty-Mansiysk in 1940, and was given town status when it merged with the village of Samarovo in 1950.

Wealth from petroleum has propelled the development of Khanty-Mansiysk. In 2007, it planned the building of the 280-meter (920 ft) Crystal Skyscraper. Designed by British architect Norman Foster, it will become one of the tallest buildings in Russia outside Moscow when completed.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
