With a population of 872,077, Tyumen is an industrial powerhouse in Siberia fueled by the oil and gas industry. However, the city's rapid, unplanned growth has created persistent headaches - an overburdened road network plagued by constant traffic jams and a severe lack of social infrastructure. Brutal Siberian winters with average temperatures of -16.7°C in January are also something to consider. While Tyumen has become an important regional hub, its gritty, functional character makes it a better fit for hardened professionals than casual expats.
