I thought that would last longer. Yes, it's Quaqtaq on the Hudson strait in Northern Quebec.
No Avgas and not much there, but there is free wifi in the departure lounge and ethanol free petrol in the village.
Allegedly named after the tapeworms in the faeces of a local fisherman!
The challenge goes to Ea200

We stopped in here to refuel during my flight in a VIP Codling.
Before the non-Russian speakers rush off to Google Translate, I should say that “Airport” is only half the name.

HH,
Not as big as any of those. After refueling, we flew to Moscow.
I can’t find another meaningful photo, so here’s a clue. The locals think of themselves as having autonomy but I’m sure Vlad doesn’t think so!

So Autonomous Republic w of Urals
Karelia - but you'd have gone into St. Petersburg or Helsinki
Nenets - hardly a building there never mind an air terminal
So maybe Komi?? Not Ukhta and probably not Vorkuta so possibly Syktyvkar Airport??

Excellent deduction, Holmes. Syktyvkar, capital of the Komi Republic. We had been in Uhkta and Usinsk visiting an oilfield development project. Two weeks earlier had flown into Usinsk in an ancient chartered 727 - it still had hat racks - from Calgary via Churchill, Iqaluit, Keflavik and Murmansk. We had flown down to Uhkta in a regular passenger Yak 40.
At the end of our stay, we would be flying commercially from Moscow. The Chairman of the Production Association lent us his VIP Yak 40 for the trip. During the trip, the pilots noticed that one of our party had a Nat Geo map of Russia. They asked to look at it - they had never seen a map of Russia! This was shortly after Glasnost and the old Soviet secrecy had yet to fade away.
Over to you Harry.

Yeah - I was working in the Caucasus and had a set of FAA 1:1million charts of the area - the Russians had never seen anything like it - but I was warned that if "the Authorities" saw it I'd have a chance to explain at great length & personally why I had them. They really couldn't believe I'd bought them in a shop.............. I did tell them the Russians had similar maps of the West - that they were pleased to hear...... tho ' it didn't stop a few "heart-to hearts" with various Organs of the State elsewhere...
here's another (non Russian) Autonomous "Republic" - don't expect it to last long
