Knowing the interest of readers of this Digest in collecting potentially useful telecom trivia, I am passing on this post from the Bitnet Soviet Union discussion list: *** FORWARDED MESSAGE: Subject: Cities & Area Codes Date: 30 Aug 90 From: Igor Yastrzhembsky IKI/SDDPD <OCC111@ESOC1.BITNET> Sender: USSR news & information list <USSR-L@INDYCMS.BITNET> Dear friends, It looks from the mail I receive that a lot of people is interested in obtaining the list of cities and area codes for the USSR. Few remarks: 1) This list is not exhaustive. These are only MAJOR cities. If anybody would like to get an area code for a city not mentioned in the list, drop me a line. 2) I do not know if all these cities can be reached from abroad. But within the USSR they are all 'the same', i.e. there is no difference between calling this or that particular city. 3) If an asterisk appears immediately after city name it means that, for 5 or 6 digit numbers you should add '2' or '22', respectively, before the number i.e. 12345 -> 2212345 or 123456 -> 2123456. If there is NO asterisk you should put '0' or '00' i.e. 12345 -> 0012345 or 123456 -> 0123456 4) You should ALWAYS dial '0' if it appears in the area code! 5) The area code for MOSCOW is 095. 6) I do not bear any responsibility for this list. ===================================================================== Alma-Ata 327 Mogilev 022 Andizhan* 374 Murmansk 815 Arkhangelsk 818 Nalchik 866 Astrakhan 851 Namangan 369 Ashkhabad 363 Nizhnii Novgorod* 831 Baku* 892 Nikolaev 051 Barnaul* 385 Novgorod 816 Batumi 882 Novosibirsk* 383 Belgorod* 072 Odessa 048 Blagoveschensk* 416 Omsk* 381 Brest* 016 Orel 086 Bryansk* 083 Orenburg 353 Bukhara 365 Penza* 841 Vilnus 012 Petrozavodsk 814 Vinnitsa 043 Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski 415 Vitebsk* 021 Perm* 342 Vladivostok 423 Poltava* 053 Vladikavkaz* 867 Pskov 811 Vladimir* 092 Pyatigorsk 879 Volgograd* 844 Riga* 013 Vologda* 817 Rovno 036 Voronezh 073 Rostov-na-Donu* 863 Gomel 023 Ryazan 091 Grodno* 015 Samarkand 366 Groznii 871 Saransk 834 Gulistan* 367 Saratov* 845 Dzhizak 372 Sverdlovsk* 343 Dnepropetrovsk 056 Simferopol* 065 Donetsk* 062 Smolensk 081 Dushanbe 377 Sochi 862 Erevan 885 Stavropol* 865 Zhitomir 041 Sumi 054 Zaporozhje 061 Sukhumi 881 Ivanovo* 093 Siktivkar* 821 Ivano-Frankovsk 034 Tallinn* 014 Izhevsk* 341 Tambov 075 Irkutsk* 395 Tashkent* 371 Ioshkar-Ola 836 Tbilisi* 883 Kazan* 843 Tver* 082 Kaliningrad 011 Termez 376 Kaluga* 084 Tomsk 382 Karaganda 321 Tula* 087 Karshi 375 Tumen* 345 Kemerovo* 384 Uzhgorod 031 Kiev* 044 Ulan-Ude* 301 Kirov 833 Ulyanovsk 842 Kirovograd 052 Ufa 347 Kishinev 042 Fergana 373 Kostroma* 094 Frunze 331 Krasnodar 861 Khabarovsk 421 Krasnoyarsk* 391 Kharkov 057 Kuibishev* 846 Tsilinograd 317 Kurgan* 352 Cheboksari 835 Kursk 071 Chelyabinsk 351 Kustanai* 314 Cherkassi* 047 Leningrad 812 Chernigov* 046 Lipetsk 074 Chernovtsi 037 Lugansk* 064 Chita 302 Lutsk 033 Elista 847 Lvov* 032 Juzhno-Sakhalinsk 424 Magadan 413 Yalta 060 Makhatchkala 872 Yakutsk* 411 Minsk* 017 Yaroslavl* 085 ===================================================================== IAY Igor Yastrzhembsky Voice: +7-095-333-50-89 Space Research Institute Fax: +7-095-310-70-23 Profsoyuznaya St. 84/32 TELEX: 411498 STAR SU 117810 Moscow, USSR E-mail: OCC111@ESOC1.BITNET Floyd Vest Auburn University ##### fvest@ducvax.auburn.edu #####
