Minusinsk (Russian: Минуси́нск) is a historical town in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. Population: 71,170 (2010 Census);[4] 72,561 (2002 Census);[6] 72,942 (1989 Census);[7] 44,500 (1973).
Geography
Minusinsk marks the center of the Minusinsk Hollow, probably the most important archaeological area north of Pazyryk. It is associated with the Afanasevo, Tashtyk, and Tagar cultures—all of them named after settlements in the vicinity of Minusinsk.
History
The Russian settlement of Minyusinskoye (Минюсинское) was founded in 1739-1740[8] at the confluence of the Minusa River with the Yenisei. The Turkic Min Usa means "my brook",[9] or "thousand rivers".[10] The name transformed to Minusinskoye (Минусинское) in 1810.
By 1822, Minusinsk had emerged as a regional center of farming and transit trade and was granted town status.[8] During the 19th century, it was a node of cultural activities for a very large area. The Martyanov Natural History Museum was opened there in 1877.[8] It is still very active and publishes a quite useful annual report of its scientific findings, meetings etc.
The town was also a place of political exile. George Kennan wrote in his very influential book Siberia and the Exile System (NY 1891) of the town and the museum being an intellectual haven for those tsarist political activists and revolutionaries who had been exiled from European Russia in the 1880s. Vladimir Lenin used to visit Minusinsk on numerous occasions when he was in exile in the nearby village of Shushenskoye between 1897 and 1900. During the Russian Civil War, Minusinsk was the setting of the Minusinsk Rebellion in 1918.[citation needed] Very few foreigners visit the town and Russians generally scoff at the notion of spending time in the area, which, in truth, is a long way from the big cities in Siberia.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Minusinsk serves as the administrative center of Minusinsky District, even though it is not a part of it.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with one work settlement (Zelyony Bor), incorporated separately as the krai town of Minusinsk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the krai town of Minusinsk is incorporated as Minusinsk Urban Okrug.[2]
Climate
Minusinsk has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb/Dwb), with very cold winters and warm summers. Precipitation is quite low, but is much higher from June to September than at other times of the year.
