Abstract
During the oil and gas development of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug — Ugra, river arteries played an important role in the lives of the population. Rivers served as transport lines, delivering food, building materials and human resources. Water resources were actively used in household life. Rapid urbanization made it possible to create a network of new cities and workers’ settlements, as well as give a «new breath» to previously existing cities. Anthropogenic influence has increased, affecting, among other things, water spaces. As a methodology, the study uses the concept of environmental history, which considers the process of interaction between man and nature in a historical context, as well as oral history. The main material of the study is the author’s field materials in the form of bibliographic interviews recorded in 2023–2024 in Khanty-Mansiysk, Surgut and Raduzhny.
A conclusion is made about the importance of water resources for residents of the cities of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug. Negative practices of interaction with rivers are indicated. Examples of environmental initiatives by city residents are illustrated.
