The Kuzbass region, where Kiselyovsk is located, supplies 60% of Russia's coal, and the town suffers from heavy pollution due to the dominance of the coal mining and processing industries. The coal ash leads to a phenomenon known as "black snow". Another danger is spontaneous combustion of discarded coal.[9]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with five rural localities, incorporated as Kiselyovsk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal divisions, Kiselyovsk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated as Kiselyovsky Urban Okrug.[4]

History

Residents of the town and Russian rights groups have campaigned for several years for the Russia government to move the city away from the immediate outskirts of the mine due to the extreme levels of pollution. In September 2019, a number of the town's residents lobbied the Canadian government to grant them status as environmental refugees.[10][11]
