Barentsburg

Barentsburg () is the second-largest settlement in Svalbard, Norway, with about 300 inhabitants (). A coal mining town, the settlement is almost entirely made up of Russian nationals.

Arktikugol () is a Russian coal mining unitary enterprise which operates on the island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. Owned by the government of Russia, Arktikugol currently performs limited mining in Barentsburg. It has carried out mining operations in the towns of Pyramiden and Grumant, which it still owns, and once operated a port at Colesbukta. The company is headquartered in Moscow and is the official agency through which Russia, and previously the Soviet Union, exercised its Svalbard policy.
