geography

Achinsk is located 163 km west of the provincial capital Krasnoyarsk on the right bank of the strongly meandering Chulym . The northern and western surroundings of the city are mostly lake-rich taiga in a hilly landscape. The closest city is Nasarowo ; it is located 30 km south of Achinsk.

history

The city was founded by Cossacks in 1683 as a strategically important settlement at the crossing over the Tschulym and received city rights in 1782. With the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the connection of the city (km 3914) in 1895, Achinsk quickly became more important, especially for trade with China. The Achinsk district became the first destination of Stalinist peasant deportations in the Krasnoyarsk Territory in 1930.
