Cost of living at the Orlovka base
Even before arriving in Kyrgyzstan, I got in touch with a resident of this region, Ilya Skorobogatov (he was also the organizer of the House for Everyone in Osh three years ago). I was surprised to learn that this Ilya bought himself a two-room apartment in the city of Orlovka for less than 100 thousand rubles. Of course, all the months we lived in Kyrgyzstan, we were attracted by the idea of visiting this city of Orlovka, to see what types of real estate exist there. After all, for the money that we invested in renting an apartment in Bishkek, you can buy the same apartment in Orlovka forever! And so, yesterday we went to this town (Keminsky district, Chui region, 70 kilometers from Bishkek). Here is Wikipedia about him.
Orlovka is already considered a city, although the population is 6 thousand inhabitants. Indeed, the village looks quite depressing. Many houses are completely abandoned; in some 4-story buildings there are only a couple of inhabited apartments left. Gas from the town is completely cut off; many turned off their heating so as not to pay for it. Water and electricity are inexpensive - you pay for electricity 65 tyin (about 50 kopecks) per kilowatt-hour, ten times less than in Moscow, water is also cheap, in total the utility costs two hundred soms (170 rubles) per month, live and be happy . Fertile soil produces apples, plums, including no-one's plums, falling under the feet of the population. You can get to Bishkek through Kemin (this is the regional center). Minibuses Bishkek-Kemin cost 60 soms, Kemin-Orlovka 20 soms, total 80 soms (70 rubles), there are also direct minibuses, but rarely. The four of us set off: me, Andrey Chekrygin, Rufa from Astrakhan and Anya from Tver; Ilya was already waiting for us in Orlovka.
From reports from residents of Orlovka, earlier, during the years of the USSR, the city flourished (at that time it was considered a village). The mining and processing plant enriched hundreds of residents of Orlovka. With the collapse of the USSR, the necessary reagents and chemicals from other Soviet republics ceased to arrive, and the city fell into decay. Many have left, and many, judging by the advertisements, are unsuccessfully trying to sell their apartments. You can buy it here official apartment-- three-room for $1500, some even for $1000. So Ilya purchased luxury real estate. I’ll also introduce readers to this village, in case anyone wants to move!
And some houses are already completely used:
Like ancient graven pedestals
Lots of greenery. There are few cars 
The main and only recreation center.
The interior is currently undergoing renovations for Kyrgyzstan's Independence Day.
Independence Day is coming soon, in a week, August 31st. It will be widely celebrated throughout the country.
In a conversation, an employee of the House of Culture expressed disappointment that Kyrgyzstan became so independent and everything fell apart.
She works at one and a half times the rate and receives, according to her, 4,000 soms per month (3,500 rubles).
One rate is 3000 soms (2500 rubles) per month.
Soon she will receive a pension, like the minimum wage, 1,500 soms per month (1,200 rubles).
However, Ilya expressed doubt that such a small pension is actually paid. The more popular pension is 3000 soms.
Prices in Orlovka for factory products are not low, only bread is cheap, and they grow their own fruits and vegetables.

ORLOVKA is one of the oldest villages in Kyrgyzstan, located
in the Kemin district, not far from the Bishkek-Issyk-Kul highway.
The village is home to about 4 thousand residents.
History of the village of Orlovka
The history of Orlovka began in 1910. At this time, many people from Russia moved to Kyrgyzstan. Settlers from the Poltava and Kursk provinces and the North Caucasus founded in the north of Kyrgyzstan small settlement, in the future called Orlovka. There are two official versions about the origin of the name Orlovka:
- The village was named so because next to the village there was a source “Berkut”, which translated into Russian means “Eagle”. The spring was named so because many golden eagles once hovered above it.
- The second version suggests that the village was named after one of the first settlers of Orlov.
The founders of the village were Vasily Yakovlevich Duginov (1878-1977), Maxim Alekseevich Glushko (1889-1976) and Savely Stepanovich Polyakov (1883-1967). In 1913, the village consisted of 113 households, and the population gradually increased. On permanent place people came to Orlovka from neighboring villages.
The revolution of 1917 also affected the residents of Orlovka. At the same time, the first government body was organized in the village - the Village Council. After the revolution, peasant labor associations, peasant mutual aid committees, and the Iskra association were created in Orlovka, whose members sewed boots, felted felt boots, and were engaged in agriculture and beekeeping.
During civil war some residents of the village took part in the battles on the side of the Red Army. For their exploits, the Communist Party of Kyrgyzstan awarded the “Oryol residents” G. Melnikov, K. K. Solodovnikov, M. V. Maltsev, F. V. Mikheev, I.V. Mikheev, N. I. Surikov.
After the revolution and civil war, the period of collectivization of agriculture began for Orlovka. In 1930, the first collective farms “Testament of Ilyich” and “New Life” appeared, which later merged into one collective farm “Testament of Ilyich”. This contributed to the development of agriculture and livestock farming in the village.
The first school in Orlovka was built in 1934 with money from the Peasant Mutual Aid Committee. At the same time, a school for peasant youth was created, which played a big role in eliminating illiteracy among the population.
During the Second World War, Orlovka worked for the front and provided townspeople, factory workers with meat, milk and bread. Approximately 300 village residents went to the front, of which 152 died in battle. IN Soviet time in Orlovka, in the Victory Park, an “obelisk to the Orlov residents who fell in battles for the Motherland” was installed, where veterans gather annually to this day on Victory Day.
During the Soviet period, the Kiminsky Chemical Metallurgical Plant and the Kyrgyz Mining and Processing Plant were built on the territory of the village.
