Bratsk

The city stretches along the Angara River, surrounded by vast Siberian forests and characterized by the massive Bratsk Reservoir that extends over 500 kilometers.

The settlement originated from a wooden fortress constructed in 1631 at the intersection of the Oka and Angara rivers to establish Russian presence in Siberia.

The Bratsk History Museum displays artifacts from indigenous Buryat tribes and documents the transformation of the region through industrialization periods.

The municipal transportation network includes regular bus routes connecting residential districts with industrial zones, complemented by trolleybus services in central areas.

The Bratsk Hydroelectric Station generates over 22.6 billion kilowatt-hours annually, powering numerous aluminum production facilities across the Irkutsk region.
