Tyumen, Regional capital in West Siberia, Russia.

Located at the confluence of Tura and Tyumenka rivers, Tyumen encompasses industrial zones, residential neighborhoods, and multiple educational institutions across its territory.

Established in 1586 on the site of a Tatar settlement, Tyumen became the first permanent Russian settlement in Siberia, marking the start of Russian expansion eastward.

The Trinity Monastery, founded in 1616, represents Orthodox Christian heritage with its traditional Russian architecture and religious artifacts collection.

The Roschino International Airport connects Tyumen with major Russian cities, while the Trans-Siberian Railway provides essential transportation links across the region.

The discovery of oil fields in the 1960s transformed Tyumen into the primary center of Russian petroleum industry, leading to rapid urban development.
