Omsk

I live in Omsk. Omsk is situated in the south of West Siberia. It stands on the rivers Irtysh and Om.

In 1716 at the mouth of the Om river the Omsk fortress was built. Its founder was Colonel Bukhgolts. From the beginning Omsk played a great role in the development of Siberia. With the construction of the railway in 1899 Omsk became the centre of transport, trade and agriculture. Steamship navigation was opened on the Irtysh river and various industries began to develop. In 1861 Omsk was connected with Orenburg by telegraph. 

Local merchants were expanding during that period. Foreign concessions and monopolies appeared. The region exported grain, butter, meat, fish, furs and leather. The town was on the rise.

One of important pages in the history of our city is the Civil War during which Admiral Kolchak proclaimed Omsk to be the capital of Russia. In 1919 the Soviet Power was established in Omsk.

By 1934 the city became one of the biggest regional centrеs in Russia, stretching from Kazakhstan in the south to the Arctic Ocean in the north. During World War II many industrial enterprises were evacuated in to Omsk from the western part of the Soviet Union, thus increasing the industrial potential of the area.

In the ‘50s and ‘60s an oil refinery plant, manufacturing, military and heavy industrial equipment were built. Today they form the backbone of Omsk industry.

Nowadays Omsk is a large city. The Omsk region is located in the southern part of the West – Siberia plane. The climate is severe continental. The main water artery is the Irtysh river.

Omsk is an important industrial, cultural and educational centre. More than 90% of industrial production is concentrated in Omsk. The leaders of Omsk exports are enterprises of refining, chemical and petrochemical industry.
