Tulun: Ulitsa Yermakova
Tulun sits on the Iya River in Russia’s Irkutsk Oblast, where the Trans-Siberian Railway crosses the southern reaches of Central Siberia. Ulitsa Yermakova forms part of an urban fabric shaped by broad streets, detached homes and apartment blocks, with local services and transport routes woven through residential districts. Tulun has a station on the Trans-Siberian Railway, linking it with other Siberian cities. The Iya is central to the city’s geography and its recent history: a major flood in 2019 caused extensive damage and prompted a lengthy reconstruction effort. This is a working Siberian city defined by rail connections, everyday neighbourhoods and the river plain.

Tulun lies along the Iya River in southwestern Irkutsk Oblast, amid taiga and broad river flats in Siberia. The city stands on the Trans-Siberian Railway, an enduring connection that places this inland settlement on one of Eurasia’s great rail corridors. The Iya belongs to the Angara River basin, and its floodplain has shaped local life dramatically: severe flooding in 2019 caused extensive damage across Tulun. Beyond the rail line, the setting is defined by woodland, a wide Siberian river and the long distances of the regional interior.

Irkutsk Oblast has served as an administrative heartland of eastern Siberia within Russia since 1937. It extends from the Central Siberian Plateau to Lake Baikal, whose western shore lies in the oblast and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Angara River, the only river flowing out of Baikal, runs north through Irkutsk before continuing towards the Yenisei. Irkutsk, the regional capital, developed as a major Siberian trading and administrative centre and retains notable wooden architecture alongside its nineteenth-century stone buildings. The Trans-Siberian Railway also links the region to Russia’s wider rail network. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Irkutsk Oblast.

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.
