Krasneno's name literally means "red", although old maps show the village as "Krasnyano", meaning rich or abundant in the Russian Old Believers' dialect, in reference to fish stocks nearby.[9] Krasneno gets its name from Lake Krasnoye, on the shores of which it is located; the lake itself is named so due to being surrounded by red and brown rocks on its shoreline.[9]
It was founded in 1957.[3] Historically, the area was known for abundant fishing, with Beluga whale and Ringed seal entering the lake from Anadyrsky Liman.[10] Due to its proximity to the former Anadyrsk ostrog (fortress), the area was famous for trade fairs between Russians and Chukchi.[10]
Around 2010, a number of houses were bought from Alaska as part of a refurbishment project.[3]
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Krasneno is subordinated to Anadyrsky District.[2] Within the framework of municipal divisions, Krasneno is considered to be inter-settlement territory within Anadyrsky Municipal District.[6] Until 2010, Krasneno was municipally incorporated as Krasneno Rural Settlement within Anadyrsky Municipal District.[6]
Krasneno has a general store, a primary school, a post office, and a cultural center.[11] Local infrastructure has been assisted by the delivery from Alaska of several cottages around 2010.[3] The economy is centered on traditional hunting and fishing,[3] as the majority of the population is indigenous.[11]
Krasneno is not connected to the outside world by any road network.
The population as of January 2014 was estimated to be 70;[12][5] down from the 2003 estimate of 118, as reported in the 2005 environmental impact report produced for the Kupol Gold Project,[13] or of 95, as reported by the Red Cross.[11] The population consists mainly of indigenous Chukchi, who make up around 90% of the population,[11] though there is also a small number of Russians living there as well.
Krasneno has a Continental Subarctic or Boreal (taiga) climates (Dfc).[14]
