Minusinsk, Historical settlement in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.
Minusinsk stands at the meeting point of the Minusa and Yenisei rivers, surrounded by hills within a transitional zone between dense forests and plains.
The settlement began in 1739 when Cossack detachments established a presence to guard the Chinese border following the 1727 treaty between Russia and China.
The Regional History Museum, founded in 1877, received its dedicated building in 1890 and remains one of the oldest scientific institutions in Siberia.
The local hotel on Lenin Street 46 provides rooms ranging from 1,200 to 3,500 rubles per night, with amenities including internet access and parking.
The town developed as a destination for exiled individuals, including Vladimir Lenin who resided in nearby Shushenskoye from 1897 to 1900.
