Легойский 2-й наслег: Тулун - Иркутская область, Россия: тулун. ОСТРОВСКОГО
Built around an early settlement on the Iya River, Tulun grew into a railway and administrative centre in Irkutsk Oblast. The city belongs to the wider Angara River basin, and its development accelerated with the Trans-Siberian Railway, which still gives Tulun a practical role between larger Siberian cities. Apartment districts, detached homes and everyday public spaces form much of its urban fabric, while the Iya remains central to local geography. Tulun was severely affected by flooding on the Iya in 2019, an event that prompted a major rebuilding effort. It is a working Siberian city shaped more by rail, river and regional services than by monumental tourism.

The Lena River and vast permafrost lowlands define much of the Sakha Republic — an extreme continental climate, immense distances and seasonal river travel shape settlement, transport and everyday life. Covering much of northeastern Russia, this republic is the country’s largest federal subject and reaches from taiga forests to Arctic shores. Yakutsk, its capital, stands on the Lena and was founded as a Russian fort in 1632; it remains a key centre for the Sakha people and the republic’s administration. The region is also internationally associated with diamond mining, notably around Mirny. Winter temperatures and the spring breakup of the Lena set a powerful annual rhythm.

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.
