Myski
Myski has served as a coal-mining and power-generation centre in southern Kemerovo Oblast–Kuzbass since the mid-20th century. The city stands at the confluence of the Tom and Mras-Su rivers, where urban neighbourhoods meet the industrial landscape of southern Siberia. Its expansion was linked to coal extraction and the Tom-Usinskaya Power Station. The area also belongs to the traditional homeland of the Shors, a Turkic Indigenous people whose language and customs remain an important part of regional identity. Broad roads, apartment blocks and working premises give Myski the practical character of a regional industrial city rather than a resort.

River valleys and wooded hills meet a coal-producing region shaped by mining and power generation. The Tom-Usinskaya power station is a major industrial landmark, while Shor traditions give the area a distinct cultural identity. Myski received town status in 1956.

Among Russia’s regions, Kemerovo Oblast–Kuzbass stands out as the core of the Kuznetsk Coal Basin, one of the country’s principal coal-producing areas. Set in southwestern Siberia, it combines industrial cities with taiga, river valleys and uplands framed by the Kuznetsk Alatau and the Salair Ridge. The Tom River runs through Novokuznetsk, the oblast’s largest city, where the Kuznetsk Fortress recalls the area’s earlier Siberian frontier history. Mining remains central to local identity, while the surrounding terrain brings a markedly different scale beyond the urban centres.

Russia has served as a major power between Europe and Asia since the 16th century. Its territory crosses eleven time zones, extending from the Baltic coast and the East European Plain over the Ural Mountains to the Pacific. The Volga, Europe’s longest river, runs through a core of historic Russian settlement, while Lake Baikal in Siberia is the world’s deepest lake. Moscow’s Kremlin and Red Square stand at the centre of the capital’s political and architectural heritage; Saint Petersburg’s Hermitage Museum occupies the Winter Palace. Orthodox churches, Russian-language literature, ballet and long-distance rail travel remain familiar reference points in a country of immense regional contrasts.
