Industry The industry of Oktyabrsky is mainly timber industry and production of concrete construction blocks. Timber used to be rafted down the Ustya River, but in the 1990s this practice was stopped. Transportation Paved roads connect Oktyabrsky with Velsk in the west and with Totma and Veliky Ustyug via Tarnogsky Gorodok in the south. There also are local roads in the district; one of which connects Oktyabrsky with the selo of Bestuzhevo in the north of the district. Oktyabrsky is located several kilometers from the railway station of Kostylevo on the railroad connecting Konosha and Kotlas which eventually continues to Vorkuta. ==Culture and recreation==
