General information about the Omsk region
Distinctive features . Although Russian merchants visited the lands of the Omsk region already in the 15th century, serious development of these territories began in 1584-1585, during the campaign of Ataman Ermak to the southern regions of Siberia. It was then that his troops reached the current borders of the Omsk region, the towns of Tebendy and Tashetkany, whose residents voluntarily recognized the power of Ermak, and not Khan Kuchum. Soon after the death of Ermak, the detachment of Prince Andrei Yeletsky founded the town of Tara, which became an outpost of the subsequent colonization of Siberia.
Tara Fortress
The city of Omsk, founded in 1716 to protect the south of Siberia from the Dzungarian state, became one of the most important administrative centers of Siberia. During the Civil War, it was the capital of White Russia - the state of Admiral Kolchak, elected Supreme Ruler of Russia. After the Reds' victory, Omsk's star sank. But when factories and research centers began to be moved here during the Great Patriotic War, Omsk became the largest scientific and industrial agglomeration in Siberia. The aerospace industry, mechanical engineering, and the development and production of electronic equipment are especially developed here.
Many wonderful, outstanding people were born or worked in the Omsk region. The poet Innokenty Annensky, the artist Mikhail Vrubel, the surgeon Leonid Poluektov, the actor Mikhail Ulyanov, and General Dmitry Karbyshev, who was brutally tortured by the Nazis, were born here. In 1850-1854, the great classicist Fyodor Dostoevsky served his sentence here at hard labor, and during the Great Patriotic War, famous designers Sergei Korolev and Andrei Tupolev worked here.
