Mykonos (Comi Republic). 8.2 thousand inhabitants. "Big cities". A joint project with the Center for the Study of Small Cities (Ivanovo region). Located 88 km by train north of Syktyvkar. The name originates from the village of Michon, where the survey party was located. It means "the place where a certain Nikolai settled" (the name Nikolai in Komi sounds like Mikolai, Mikula, and the suffix "-ani" in toponyms indicates the place). Since 2017, local philologists claim that Mykon is male, because it comes from a male name. In 2026, the Moscow Normative Dictionary of Toponyms assigned the female gender to the name. The Republic disagreed with this.

In the early 1930s, the Pechora coal and oil basin was explored in Komi. Then the only way to them was the rivers, which froze for six months. The history of the settlement begins in 1937 during the construction of the Northern Pechora Railway. The name of the project was "Vedorasdalnia", but in 1938 the station with three tracks and a station village of three huts was registered as Hever. During the construction of the road, the station was deliberately placed not on a large river, but on the watershed between the Chuv and Shzhamka rivers, away from Wichigada.

Construction was planned to be completed in 1945, but after the loss of Donbass, Varkuta turned out to be the only accessible coal deposit. In December 1941, the first train with Warkota coal left. From 1945 to 1948, Railway School No. 1, a locomotive and communication depot, and a wagon maintenance point were transferred from the neighboring station village of Kaniazhpogosta (now the city of Yamiya) to mechanization. In the years 1949-1951, his prisoner Boris Strachikov built and decorated the cultural center. The artist gave the building its individuality: plaster casting, reliefs of writers and poets in the concert hall, and the sculpture "Woman and Child" in the square. After his release in 1953, Strachikov worked as the chief artist of the Tatar satirical magazine Khyan, and then at Tanin magazine.
