Omsk is one of Siberia’s major cities, and after Novosibirsk it is the largest city east of the Urals. The city is strategically located as an important station on the Trans-Siberian Railway and for transport along the river Irtysh. Omsk is also located at the mouth of the smaller river Om in the Irtysh river.
The city was founded in 1716 by Cossacks under the leadership of Ivan Buchholz. It was established as a defense of Russia’s expanding border to the east, and Omsk became the administrative center of Western Siberia. During the Russian Civil War of 1918-1920, the city was for a time the capital of the anti-communist struggle, and the gold reserves of the Russian Empire were kept here.
Today, Omsk is a city with many sights dating from the 18th century to the present day. You can see wooden buildings from old days, just as a part of Omsk Fort is preserved and well worth a stroll. In addition, there are a number of beautiful churches, interesting museums and buildings from both the Tsarist era and the Soviet era, from which the statues of Lenin also originate.
The area around Omsk also offers good opportunities for excursions to interesting sights and cities. Atyair Monastery is located along Irtysh south of Omsk and is one of the most popular places close to the city. Another option is to visit Kazakhstan, where Petropavl is the nearest big city. It is easily reached by train, and thus you can also try such a trip in the Siberian area.
