D is for Dudinka, in Krasnoyarskii Krai,in Siberia, right up at the top of the map, on the mouth of the Yenisei river.

I've never been there, but there's a story in either Lonely Planet or one of the other big guidebooks about someone who went on a river cruise to there, and found the town quite grim.

Next letter is E, any ideas?
