Yakutsk gears up for its 400th anniversary with grand plans for 2032
Yakutia is preparing to celebrate a major milestone—the 400th anniversary of its capital, Yakutsk. Russian President Vladimir Putin has officially declared 2032 as the year for the festivities, setting the stage for extensive planning and development across the region.
The push for preparations began after President Putin signed a decree marking 2032 as the anniversary year. Following this, Aisen Nikolayev, the head of Yakutia, instructed local authorities to start organizing the main event. He stressed that the celebrations should engage every resident of the republic.
Nikolayev has also requested proposals for the organizing committee and a detailed plan for the main events. These efforts align with Yakutsk’s broader development, as the city’s master plan—approved under presidential instruction—has already delivered key projects. Among them are the renovation of Lenin Square and the transformation of Lake Saisary’s waterfront. While the search for specific proposals continues, the republic’s leadership is focused on ensuring the anniversary reflects Yakutsk’s historical significance and community spirit.
The 400th anniversary of Yakutsk will bring together regional and national efforts to honor the city’s history. With major projects already completed and more in planning, the celebrations aim to leave a lasting impact on both residents and visitors. Officials are now gathering ideas to shape the event’s structure and key activities.
