Kuytun, Work settlement in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia
The settlement spreads across South Siberia near the eastern Sayan Mountains, positioned 300 kilometers northwest of the regional capital Irkutsk at 607 meters elevation point.
Founded in 1680, Kuitun received its first church and post station in 1734, marking the beginning of Russian presence in this area of Siberia.
The name originates from Buryat language terms referring to favorable grasslands and pastures located far from forests in elevated territories.
The Trans-Siberian Railway station operates three kilometers southwest of the town center, while the M53 highway connects the settlement to major Siberian cities.
On February 7, 1920, the Kuitun railway station became the location where Red Army and Czechoslovak Legion forces signed a ceasefire agreement.
