Lebediny (Russian: Лебеди́ный; Yakut: Лебединай) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Aldansky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located 26 kilometers (16 mi) from Aldan, the administrative center of the district.
[3] "Lebediny" is a Russian adjective literally meaning swan-like or of the swan; the name is said to refer to a local legend that swans rested here while migrating south for the winter.
[citation needed] Urban-type settlement status was granted to it in 1967.
[2] Within the framework of administrative divisions, the urban-type settlement of Lebediny[1] is, together with one rural locality (the selo of Orochen 1-y), incorporated within Aldansky District as the Settlement of Lebediny.
[5] Like nearby Yakokut and Leninsky, Lebediny is a gold-mining settlement.
