About Nizhny Novgorod
A beautiful site was chosen for the new fortress by Peter the Great's guardsman Ivan Buchholz; when in spring of 1716 he and his detachment made a landing on the shore of the Irtysh, at the place where this powerful Siberian river takes the quiet 0m river into its broad riverbed. According to the edict of the Tsar Peter the Great and his deputy in Siberia, Prince Gagarin, pioneers erected fortification here to guard the southern Russian borders. Thus, was founded the town of Omsk, which in our day has become the largest industrial and cultural center in Siberia.
The history of Omsk lives not only in the streets of the city, it lives in the museums, in the inspirational works of Omsk artists, actors and historians. The Omsk museum of local lore, history and economy is the oldest in Siberia. It was founded in 1878 by the famous Siberian scientists, explorers and public figures: M. Pevtsov, G. Potanin, N. Yadrintsev, and I. Slovtsov. test |
