Yemelyanovo

Yemelyanovo (Russian: Емельяново) is the name of several inhabited localities in Russia. The toponym is derived from the male given name Yemelyan (Emilian), with the suffix -ovo forming a place name meaning “the place of Yemelyan.” Localities bearing this name are typically rural settlements or villages.

The best-known Yemelyanovo is located in Krasnoyarsk Krai, near the city of Krasnoyarsk. This settlement is the site of Krasnoyarsk-Yemelyanovo International Airport, which serves Krasnoyarsk and the surrounding region. The area is connected to the city and broader region by road and is associated with the Krasnoyarsk metropolitan area.

There are other smaller Yemelyanovo localities scattered across Russia, in various federal subjects. These are generally small villages with local administrative affiliations within their respective districts.

In terms of history and demography, Yemelyanovo localities vary widely in size and development. The Krasnoyarsk-area settlement gained prominence primarily through the establishment and expansion of air transport infrastructure, which elevated the locality’s regional role. Population figures for Yemelyanovo settlements range from a few dozen to a few thousand residents, depending on the locality.
