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.[1] The river drains an area of about 44,700 square kilometres (17,300 sq mi).[2] 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.[3] 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 another power station somewhere downstream are under consideration.
