Korf

Russia / Korjakija / Tilichiki /

Rural locality (a selo) and a port in Olyutorsky District of Koryak Okrug in Kamchatka Krai, Russia, located on a narrow sand spit opposite Tilichiki. Population: 18 (2012 est.) The names of the village and the Korfa Bay commemorate the Russian German Andrey Korf (1831–1893), the first Viceroy (Governor General) of the Russian Far East (1884–93).
It was established in 1925 on the coast of the Skrytaya Harbor of the Korfa Bay as a settlement of salmon fishers. In 1994, it was demoted in status from that of an urban-type settlement to rural locality. On April 21, 2006, Korf was destroyed by the 2006 Kamchatka earthquakes. Over eight hundred families were evacuated and the selo was slated to be abandoned. As of 2013, however, Korf has not been officially abolished.
