It lies mostly in the [[drainage basin|basin]] of the lower [[Amur River]], but also occupies a vast mountainous area along the coastline of the [[Sea of Okhotsk]], an arm of the Pacific Ocean. The administrative center of the krai is the [[types of inhabited localities in Russia|city]] of [[Khabarovsk]]. The [[indigenous people]] of the area are the [[Evenks]], [[Negidals]], [[Ulchs]], [[Nanai]], [[Oroch]], [[Udege people|Udege]], and Amur [[Nivkhs]].<ref>Chaussonnet, p.109</ref> ==History== ===400s-900=== According to various Chinese and Korean records, the southern part of Khabarovsk Krai was originally occupied one of the five semi-nomadic [[Shiwei]], the Bo Shiwei tribes (Chinese : 钵室韋) and the [[Heishui Mohe|Black Water Mohe]] tribes living respectively on the west and the east of the Bureinsky and the Malyi Khingan ranges. ===1600s-1850=== In 1643, [[Vassili Poyarkov]]'s boats descended the [[Amur]], returning to [[Yakutsk]] by the [[Sea of Okhotsk]] and the [[Aldan River]], and in 1649–1650 [[Yerofey Khabarov]] occupied the banks of the Amur. The resistance of the [[Chinese people|Chinese]], however, obliged the [[Cossacks]] to quit their forts, and by the [[Treaty of Nerchinsk]] (1689) [[Russia]] abandoned her advance into the basin of the river. Although losing the rights to navigate the Amur River, the Chinese Qing Empire, however, never claimed the lower courses of the river. [[Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky|Nikolay Muravyov]] insisted on conducting an aggressive policy with China by claiming that the lower reaches of the Amur River belong to [[Russians]]. Later in 1852, a Russian military expedition under Muravyov explored the Amur, and by 1857 a chain of Russian Cossacks and peasants were settled along the whole course of the river. The accomplished fact was recognized by China in 1860 by the [[Treaty of Aigun]], recognized the Amur River as the boundary between Russia and Qing Empire, and granted Russia free access to the Pacific Ocean. ==Geography== Khabarovsk Krai shares its borders with [[Magadan Oblast]] in the north, with the [[Sakha Republic]] and [[Amur Oblast]] in the west, with the [[Jewish Autonomous Oblast]], [[People's Republic of China]], and [[Primorsky Krai]] in the south, and is limited by the [[Sea of Okhotsk]] in the east. [[Taiga]] and [[tundra]] in the north, swampy forest in the central depression, and deciduous forest in the south are the natural vegetation in the area. ===Time zone=== [[Image:RTZ9.png|left|75px]] Khabarovsk Krai is located in the [[Vladivostok Time|Vladivostok Time Zone]] (VLAT/VLAST). [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]] offset is +1000&nbsp;(VLAT)/+1100&nbsp;(VLAST). <div style="clear:left"></div> [[Image:Khabarovsk Lenin Square.jpg|thumb|left|350px|[[Khabarovsk]]]] {{History of the Amur region}} ==Economy== Major industries include timberworking and [[fishing]], along with [[metallurgy]] in the main cities, although the krai's own [[mineral]] resources are poorly developed. [[Komsomolsk-on-Amur]] is the iron and steel center of the Far East; a [[Pipeline transport|pipeline]] from northern [[Sakhalin]] supplies the petroleum-refining industry in the city of [[Khabarovsk]]. In the Amur basin, there is also some cultivation of [[wheat]] and [[soybean]]s. The capital city, Khabarovsk, is at the junction of the Amur River and the [[Trans-Siberian railway]]. ==Demographics== According to the 2002 census, 89.8% of the population are [[Russian people|Russians]], 3.4% [[Ukrainian people|Ukrainians]], 0.77% [[Nanai]]s, 0.76% [[Tatars]] 0.66% [[Koreans]] and 0.62% [[Belarusians]]. In addition to the Nanai, other indigenous groups include the [[Evenks]] and [[Evens]] to the north and some [[Ulchs]] to the south of the lower Amur river. Some [[Nivkhs]] (Gilyak), an indigenous fishing people with an isolated language, still live around the Amur [[river delta]]. There are also [[Negidals]] (567), [[Orochs]] (686), and [[Udege]] (1,657) according to the 2002 census ==External links== * {{en icon}}[https://oa.doria.fi/dspace/bitstream/10024/829/1/historic.pdf Informations concerning the Shiwei tribes and their relationship with the Khitans] * {{ru icon}} [http://hbr.moigorod.ru/info/region/khabarovsk/history.asp Brief history of Khabaovsk Krai] ==Administrative divisions== {{Main|Administrative divisions of Khabarovsk Krai}} ==Notes== {{reflist|2}} ==References== *Chaussonnet, Valerie (1995) ''Native Cultures of Alaska and Siberia''.
