Turukhansk, Rural settlement in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia
Turukhansk sits at the meeting point of the Yenisey and Nizhnyaya Tunguska Rivers, 1,474 kilometers north of Krasnoyarsk in northern Siberia.
Founded in 1607 as a winter camp, the settlement gained importance after fires in Mangazeya, leading to construction of a timber fort with cannons in 1677.
The Museum of Taiga Traditions presents regional artifacts and documents the lives of local ethnic groups, including the Ket people of northern Siberia.
The village maintains an airport and functions as the administrative center of Turukhansky District, serving a population of approximately 3,178 residents.
The settlement transformed from a Cossack winter camp into one of Siberia's largest trading posts, hosting major regional fairs during the 18th century.
