Izhevsk

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Izhevsk is GeoNames ID 554840. Its recorded administrative path is Udmurtiya Republic → Russia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat.

Izhevsk occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2026-04-14; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist.

Read as one record signature, GeoNames 554840, the coordinate pair 56.8523 / 53.1986, country rank 20 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 523750 at 132.979 km bind Izhevsk to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Izhevsk's reference point is 56.8523° north and 53.1986° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Samara is shared by 3 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Izhevsk's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label.

Izhevsk's point falls in the higher-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Izhevsk's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Izhevsk, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain.

Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
