Irkutsk is the capital of a region with a rich history
Irkutsk is only in third position in terms of territory size, but in terms of the number of residents it is the undisputed leader with 623,869. The population of the agglomeration is even larger: according to information for 2018, it exceeds 1.1 million.
Since its foundation in the second half of the 17th century, it has played an important role in the life of the region. The merchant city had strong trade relations with China, the central and eastern regions of the country, and later repeatedly acted as a zone of exile. It is included among the historical settlements of Russia, and also boasts an abundance of attractions, mostly concentrated in the old center. Irkutsk is a student city, a major transport hub of the region and an important economic center, where many enterprises of all-Russian importance operate, including the largest Russian company in the energy sector, Irkutskenergo.

Historical sketch
It arose in connection with the construction of the Bratsk hydroelectric power station north of the village of Bratsk (founded as a fort in 1631 at the mouth of the Oka River), flooded by the waters of the Bratsk Reservoir.
Since 1927, the village of Bratskoye (Bratsky fort) has been the center of the Bratsky district of the Tulun district. In 1946, the Council of People's Commissars of the SSR adopted the “Resolution on the organization of management of Angarsk construction” (Angarstroy). On September 23, 1954, a resolution was adopted on the construction of the Bratsk hydroelectric power station. On July 15, 1955, the construction of the Bratsk hydroelectric power station and the city of Bratsk was declared an all-Union construction project. On March 30, 1957, the first closure of the Angara was completed (the river was blocked for more than 9 hours). On July 26, 1961, the filling of the Bratsk Reservoir began; September 1, 1961 is considered the date of birth of the Bratsk Sea.
In the Bratsk district alone, 119 settlements were earmarked for transfer, incl. working village of Zayarsk (6.4 thousand inhabitants, 1959). On August 29, 1961, the evacuation of residents of old Bratsk was completed. In 1959, there was the city of Bratsk (51.5 thousand inhabitants, 1959) and the working settlement of Bratsk (15.8 thousand inhabitants, 1959).
The name of the Bratsk fort is from the ethnonym Buryats, reinterpreted by the Russians into brothers - “brothers”. With the loss of military significance, the fort turns into the village of Bratsko-Ostrozhnoe, sometimes simply Bratskoe, later Bratsk.
In connection with the construction of the Bratsk Reservoir, the village of Bratsk was moved to a new location and in 1951 transformed into a workers’ settlement. In 1955 it was merged with a number of other villages and reorganized into the city of Bratsk on December 12, 1955.
In 1973, the Padunsky urban district was formed, it included the villages of Padun, Energetik, Gidrostroitel, Osinovka and the Bratsk Sea.
In 1980, the Central City District was formed; previously it was listed as “part of the city without districts.”
In 1999, the city included the working settlements of Osinovka (PGT since 1960; 10.9 thousand inhabitants, 1970; 14.4 thousand inhabitants, 1979; 15.9 thousand inhabitants, 1989), Porozhsky (PGT since 1960). , 6.4 thousand inhabitants, 1970; 5.8 thousand inhabitants, 1979; 5.3 thousand inhabitants, 1989), Chekanovsky (PGT since 1960, 12.5 thousand inhabitants, 1970; 10.1 thousand inhabitants, 1979; 7.8 thousand people, 1989).
