The population of the village as of 2012 is 281, of which 247 a slight reduction on the most recent census data: Municipally, Ilirney is subordinated to Bilibinsky Municipal District and is incorporated as Ilirney Rural Settlement.

Geography

Ilirney is situated 168 km from the district center Bilibino and 510 km from Anadyr. At the site of the village, the Maly Anyuy River is joined by the Nutsekyn tributary, Lake Ilirney is found at the feet of Ilirney Range, about 20 km northeast of the village. Archeologists discovered neolithic camps on the shore of the lake and about 46 km further upstream is Lake Tytyl where archeologists have also discovered neolithic encampments and where the inhabitants of the village have a permanent fishing co-operative on the shores.

History

In 1945, a weather station was built on the shores of the Lower Ilirney lake, and not long after that a state farm specialising in reindeer herding was established, around which a settlement grew up. However, in 1954, the village was severely flooded and a decision was made to move the village 7 km upriver to prevent this from happening again. In the late 1950s there was a substantial expansion of the village, following the discovery of gold in the area and the subsequent mining developments to extract it. Additionally, the farm's name was changed to 40 Years of October (), and it became substantially more profitable as requirements from the expanding mining workforce increased demand significantly.

Demographics

The population of the village as of January 2012 is 281 a reduction of 20 against the 2010 estimate of 301 (of which 247 were indigenous people), In 2005 and 2012 the village was demographically organised thus:

The head of the rural settlement is Vladimir Kumlyu.

Economy and culture

The main occupation of the inhabitants is reindeer herding and fishing and there is a central farm called "poplar" () The village has a primary school, a kindergarten, a medical clinic, post office, communications center, a hotel with 20 beds, a cultural center, library, shop and bakery.

In the summer of 2009 on a small hill at the entrance to the village a large Orthodox cross was built and consecrated. An Orthodox chapel is also planned to be constructed.

The village hosts the Kilvey festival (meaning "festival of the first calf") during the calving season, when the reindeer are giving birth to their young. Visitors erect yaranga and the traditional Chukchi tambourine, the Yarar is played while the women prepare traditional food. A bonfire is lit, sacrifices are made and a variety of sporting competitions involving jumping, throwing and wrestling take place. The festival ends with a large communal feast.

Transport

Illirney is not yet connected to any other settlement by permanent road, but a new road, the Anadyr Highway, is planned west to Omsukchan and south east to Anadyr.

There is a small series of roads within the settlement including:

  • Улица Лесная (Ulitsa Lesnaya, lit. Forest Street)
  • Улица Набережная (Ulitsa Naberezhnaya, lit. Quay Street)
  • Улица Центральная (Ulitsa Tsentralnaya, lit. Central Street)
  • Улица Школьная (Ulitsa Shkolnaya, lit. School Street)

Climate

With a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc), Ilirney endures bitterly cold weather for much of the year, with temperatures almost never rising above freezing between October and April, and sometimes plummeting below −50 C in January and February, although the freakish month of January 1950 averaged 19.6 C-change above the long-term normal owing to a huge block in the Bering Sea that more famously produced a huge cold wave in western Canada and Washington state. Even the short summer period between June and August is cool with temperatures rarely rising above +20 C.
