Verkhnebureinsky District
Verkhnebureinsky District is a vast, sparsely populated administrative region in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia, situated along the upper reaches of the Burya River. Historically, its development has been closely tied to resource extraction and the construction of the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) railway in the 1970s-80s, which opened the area’s significant coal and timber reserves. Today, its economy remains centered on these industries, set within the remote and rugged landscape of the Russian Far East.
