Amursk
Russia
Amursk, city, Khabarovsk kray (region), far eastern Russia. It lies on the left bank of the Amur River, 25 miles (40 km) south of Komsomolsk-na-Amure. Founded in 1958, Amursk became one of the fastest growing towns in the far eastern Soviet Union. Its wood-processing complex, opened in 1967, is one of the largest in Russia and produces wood pulp, container board, and fibreboard. The industry is expected to expand as more of the goods shipped by the Trans-Siberian Railroad are containerized. Pop. (2006 est.) 46,687.
