History edit
In 1882, a sawmill was built in the mouth of the Kamenka River by the Rushnikov brothers. There was timber rafting on the Mezen, which persisted until the 1990s. Kamenka was one of the places where the logs were lifted from the water. The sawmill produced boards, all of which were exported.[10] At the time, it was part of Mezensky Uyezd of Arkhangelsk Governorate. On July 15, 1929 the uyezds were abolished, and Mezensky District was established. Kamenka was granted urban-type settlement status in 1938.[11] On 23 June 2021, Kamenka was transformed back to rural settlement. Economy-related legal and tax reasons were cited for this decision.[12]
Restricted access edit
The northern part of Mezensky District, including Kamenka, is included into the border security zone, intended to protect the borders of Russian Federation from unwanted activity. In order to visit Kamenka, a permit issued by the local FSB department is required.[13]
Economy edit
Industry edit
The two most important enterprises in Kamenka are the Mezen sawmill and the Mezen sea harbor.[14]
Transportation edit
There is an airport in Kamenka.[15]
The Mezen is navigable in Kamenka; however, the passenger navigation is only represented by ferries to Mezen, which connect Kamenka to the road network. There is also a winter road (zimnik) downstream the Mezen, which crosses into the valley of the Kuloy River and ends in the selo of Dolgoshchelye.
