But nevertheless the most important fact is that in the middle of the ancient taiga a town with unique, even for 21st century, social infrastructure is flourishing: according to the decision of the authorities all industrial productions were moved out of the town. In and around the town taiga wood was cleared and put to an appropriate ecological state. In essence taiga wood became a national park of Siberia. Here in practice a rare combination of comfortable urbanism and ecological purity was created. Taiga spread for hundred kilometers to all parts from the town provides the existence of such unique that produces oxygen and absorbs waste of human activity. Nowadays a vast space of confluence of Ob and Irtysh is an example of ecologically civilized space that constitutes a part of the great Siberian national park.
Furthermore, the town, having received financial opportunities, admits – as the most important point in its development – exclusive priorities of the social sphere.

And what is not insignificant, most of all these people are high educated: from 1000 people 958 people have high and secondary education. This number is higher than the average in Russia.
Investments in culture are great. These investments are notable for seriousness and purposefulness. In the centre of Khanty-Mansiysk a Centre of Arts, where the World Chess Cup will take place, is built. The Centre of Arts is a multifunctional building, a piece of modern international architecture. This Centre was designed and built not as a mythological ice house or as a “PURE ART”. It is not a phantasmagoria of kingdom of art for art, the aim of which is to show unexacting ordinary life. Everything here is based on the reasonable, right, pragmatic and perspective idea. This Centre is fully given to children of the North and Siberia; a lot of gifted children live and study there. They study arts from scratch. Great musicians such as Spivakov, Bashmet come there give master-classes to the children. Management of MHAT and Bolshoj Theatre tells them about theatre art…
