Deputatsky (Russian: Депута́тский; Yakut: Депутатскай) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Ust-Yansky District in the Sakha Republic, Russia, located in the Nemkuchansky Range, about 930 kilometers (580 mi) north-northeast of Yakutsk, the capital of the republic. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 2,983.
Deputatsky is spread out along a 10-kilometer (6.2 mi) section of the Oyun-Unguokhtakh River, up to its mouth on the Irgichyan, which becomes a source of the Uyandina River.
It was founded in 1951 as a mining settlement, exploiting nearby deposits of lead. In its early years, its workforce included Gulag prisoners. In 1958, Deputatsky was granted urban-type settlement status. In 1967, it replaced the selo of Kazachye as the administrative center of Ust-Yansky District.
Due to the downturn in the mining industry following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, more than three-quarters of population left during the 1990s. However, mine production continued and the population decline slowed down.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, the urban-type settlement of Deputatsky serves as the administrative center of Ust-Yansky District. As an administrative division, it is incorporated within Ust-Yansky District as the Settlement of Deputatsky. As a municipal division, the Settlement of Deputatsky is incorporated within Deputatsky Municipal District as Deputatsky Urban Settlement.
