Kuybyshev lies along the Om River in Novosibirsk Oblast, where the river and the level Baraba Lowland have long supported its role as a local centre for the surrounding agricultural country. Known as Kainsk until 1935, the town developed as a Siberian trading settlement and has retained a low-rise provincial character rather than the scale of Novosibirsk. Its streets combine public buildings, everyday commerce and remnants of the older town, while the open terrain shows a quieter side of Siberia than its better-known mountain regions. The Om belongs to the wider Irtysh river basin. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Kuybyshev and the Baraba Lowland relate to their surroundings.
