Billings (Russian: Би́ллингс; Chukot: Валӄаран, Valḳaran) is a rural locality (a selo) in Iultinsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia.

[9] Joseph Billings was an English-born member of the Russian navy who in 1785, together with C. G. Sarychevym, was part of the expedition that mapped and researched the coast of North-Eastern Siberia.

[10] The local Chukchi people originally called the place "Valkyran", meaning a dugout of whale jaws.

[11] This is in reference to the remains of an ancient Inuit camp consisting of a number of homes dug into the soil and constructed of wood and the bones of the Greenland whale.

[citation needed] The population of the village according to the most recent census data is 211,[2] of whom 109 are male and 102 female,[3] a significant decrease on a 2006 estimate of 324.
