Качугское городское поселение

Kachugskoye Urban Settlement is best known within Irkutsk Oblast for Kachug, its district centre on the Lena River. Set in the Upper Lena basin, this small Siberian settlement lies far from the rail-linked cities of the Trans-Siberian corridor and has long been shaped by its river valley setting. Kachug was founded in 1686 during Russia’s expansion through the Lena watershed and remains the administrative centre of Kachugsky District. The Lena, one of Siberia’s great rivers, is the defining geographic thread here, joining the locality to a vast northward drainage system that reaches the Arctic Ocean.
