關於Nizhnekamsk
Nizhnekamsk is a city in Tatarstan, Russia, located to the south of the Kama River between the cities of Naberezhnye Chelny and Chistopol. Population: 241,479 (2021 census); 234,044 (2010 census); 225,399 (2002 census); 190,793 (1989 Soviet census).
As its population increased, spurred by the construction of Nizhnekamskneftekhim petrochemical industrial complex, Nizhnekamsk was granted city status in 1966.
The name in both Russian and Tatar comes from the fact that the city is located in the lower reaches of the Kama River.
