Novoshakhtinsky (Russian: Новоша́хтинский) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Mikhaylovsky District of Primorsky Krai, Russia. Population: 7,841 (2010 census); 8,288 (2002 census); 8,915 (1989 Soviet census).. The Trans-Siberian railroad passes through the town.
History
Urban-type settlement status was granted to Novoshakhtinsky in 1967.
Economy
The economy of Novoshakhtinsky is primarily based on coal mining. Following the 2008 global financial crisis, a decline in international commodity prices led to reduced demand and lower prices for coal. Because Novoshakhtinsky is a monotown heavily reliant on this single industry, the downturn significantly impacted both the mining operations and the local population. Consequently, the settlement experiences outward migration, particularly among youth and skilled workers who relocate to larger urban economic centers such as Vladivostok, Moscow, and St. Petersburg.
Geographically, the settlement is positioned near Vladivostok and regional East Asian trade markets, including China and South Korea. Novoshakhtinsky possesses established municipal infrastructure, including housing, roads, and schools, though regional assessments note that these facilities require modernization.
Miscellaneous
There is a music school and an orphanage in Novoshakhtinsky.
