Anadyr (Russian: Ана́дырь, IPA: [ɐˈnadɨrʲ] ⓘ; Chukot: Кагыргын, romanized: Kagyrgyn, IPA: [kɑɣərˈɣən]; Southern Chukchi: Въэӈын, romanized: V"èňyn, Central Siberian Yupik: Ўиңа/Ўиңын, romanized: Winga/Wingen, IPA [ɣʷiŋən]) is a port town and the administrative center of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located at the mouth of the Anadyr River at the tip of a peninsula that protrudes into Anadyrsky Liman. It was previously known as Novo-Mariinsk (until 1923). Anadyr is the easternmost town in Russia; more easterly settlements, such as Provideniya and Uelen, do not have town status.
