Anyuysk

Anyuysk () is a rural locality (a selo) in Bilibinsky District in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located west of Bilibino on the border with the Sakha Republic and on the banks of the Maly Anyuy River. The village is 272 km to Bilibino and approximately 800 km to Anadyr. Population: Municipally, Anyuysk is subordinated to Bilibinsky Municipal District and is incorporated as Anyuysk Rural Settlement.

==History== The village was founded in 1930 as a result of the collectivisation of a number of nomadic herders who settled in the village establishing two collective farms: "First of May" () and "New Life" (). Once the farms were established the village grew rapidly and a boarding school and kindergarten were constructed. These farms were reorganised into a single entity in 1960 under the name "Anyuysky". Anyuysk was the administrative centre of Bilibino District (then called Eastern Tundra District ()) from March 15, 1950, when it took over responsibilities from Ostrovnoye until August 2, 1961, when responsibilities passed to the current administrative centre, Bilibino. In the 1980s a dairy farm was established in order to provide milk to the school and the villagers.
