Zolotinka (Russian: Золотинка; Yakut: Золотинка) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Neryungrinsky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located 73 kilometers (45 mi) from Neryungri, the administrative center of the district,[2] in the southern reaches of the Aldan Highlands, on the Kholodnikan River, close to where it flows into the Iyengra, a tributary of the Timpton. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 552.[3]

Etymology

The name "Zolotinka", which literally means a gold flake in Russian, refers to the gold reserves found in the area.

History

Zolotinka was founded in the mid-1970s in conjunction with the construction of the railway linking the Baikal–Amur Mainline to the town of Neryungri. Urban-type settlement status was granted to it in 1977.[2] With the completion of the railway, and gold mining activities not as successful as it had been hoped, the majority of inhabitants left during the 1980s.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, the urban-type settlement of Zolotinka[1] is incorporated within Neryungrinsky District as the Settlement of Zolotinka.[2] As a municipal division, the territories of the Settlement of Zolotinka and the Settlement of Nagorny are incorporated within Neryungrinsky Municipal District as Zolotinka Urban Settlement.[5]
