Kureika River
The Kureika (Курейка; also Lyuma, Numa) is a major right tributary of the Yenisei River. It falls from the Putorana Plateau to the vast taiga plain of Northern Siberia and flows northward passing through a series of elongated lakes, including the Yadun, Anama, and Dyupkun lakes. It is 888 kilometres (552 mi) long. The river drains an area of about 44,700 square kilometres (17,300 sq mi). At the confluence, it is more than 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) wide.
The Kureika basin is very sparsely populated. The village of Kureika used to have a museum dedicated to Joseph Stalin, who was exiled there in 1914–17. The Kureyskaya Hydroelectric Station was built in 1975–2002. It is served by the people from Svetlogorsk, a townlet sitting just above the Kureika Reservoir. Plans for somewhere downstream are under consideration.
