dalniy

Dalniy (Russian: Дальний) is the name of several inhabited localities in Russia. The term dalny means distant or far away in Russian, and the toponym is typically applied to places perceived as remote from larger urban centers or administrative hubs.

In general, localities named Dalniy are small and may be classified as rural settlements, villages, or small urban-type settlements. The exact administrative status varies by federal subject; such localities can be rural localities within districts or incorporated as separate municipal formations. There is no single Dalniy that functions as a distinct, unified entity; rather, multiple places share the same name.

Because the name is used in more than one location, referring to a specific Dalniy usually requires specifying the geographic region, district, or federal subject. Variants of the name appear in different grammatical forms, including Dalny and Dalniye, depending on gender and the particular locality’s designation.
