abstract
| - Sosnogorsk (Finn. Sosnovuori, Komi. Sösnagort)) is a Uralican city that is considered a "twin city" of Ukhta, although they comprise two separate municipal authorities. As with Ukhta, the population is largely Komi and Nenets, however, the number of Russians living in the town is much larger. Because of its proximity to Ukhta, Sosnogorsk also has an industrial section, and the Uralican government actually merged the two to reflect the unitary authority status of the two cities put together. On the Sosnogorsk side, the industry is mainly comprised of consumer-goods manufacturing, however there are also mining and refinery buildings as well, including the headquarters of one of Bolak Corp.'s top competitors, Gornyak Uralica. Sosnogorsk was basically forced to develop a new commercial district, if it wished to obtain city status as per Uralica's national city requirements, however this did not take very long, with stores and shops wanting to sell goods made in the large industrial district springing up very quickly. In fact, retail has become the third-largest economic sector within Sosnogorsk.
