==History== In 1932, it became the seat of administration for the Sevvostlag forced-labor camps, although these operations were later moved to Nagaev Bay and then to the city of Magadan. Ust-Srednekan remained a mining center, although its population decreased so much that in April 2006 it was decided to progressively abandon it. Only twenty-seven inhabitants remained in 2010, with the population fully gone by April 2011.
