Krasnoyarsk Krai

Within Russia’s regions, Krasnoyarsk Krai is distinguished by an immense north–south reach, extending from the Sayan Mountains to the Arctic shores. The Yenisei, one of Siberia’s great rivers, runs through its vast territory, linking southern cities and taiga to the far north. Around these coordinates lies the central interior, a remote expanse of forest and river country within the Evenki District. Further north, the Putorana Plateau is recognised by UNESCO for its basalt terrain and numerous lakes. Indigenous Evenk traditions, including reindeer herding, remain an important part of the region’s cultural identity. Krasnoyarsk, the regional capital on the Yenisei, began as a fortress in 1628.
