geography
The place is about 125 km as the crow flies north-northwest of the Irkutsk Oblast Administrative Center . It is located on the left bank of the right Angara tributary Ossa , about 10 km above its confluence with the Bratsker reservoir .
Ossa is the administrative center of the Ossinski Rajons as well as the seat and only locality of the municipal entity of the same name (munizipalnoje obrasowanije) with the status of a rural community (selskoje posselenije).
history
The predecessor of the village was the Ossinski Ostrog , which was built in 1645 by the Russians advancing into Siberia under the Cossack ataman Ivan Kolesnikow, not far from the confluence of the eponymous Ossa in the Angara, about 40 km northwest of today's location . This was burned down in 1648 by the Buryats who lived in the area . In the area of today's village, the Ossinskaya sloboda was built in the second half of the 17th century; both Russians and Buryats settled there, who gave up their previously nomadic way of life.
Located in an area mainly populated by Buryats, Ossa came to the newly formed Mongolian-Buryat Autonomous Oblast on January 9, 1922 as part of the Bochanski Aimak (Buryat name for Rajon) based in Bochan, 25 km south , from which the Buryat ASSR in 1923 emerged. The associated areas northwest of Lake Baikal , including the Bochanski rajon, formed the Ust-Ordynsk Buryat Autonomous Okrug on September 26, 1937 . In 1944, the northern part of the Bochanski rajon became the Ossinski rajon, based in Ossa. This was reversed in 1962, but the Ossinski rajon has existed again in its current form since November 5, 1975. The Autonomous Okrug of the Ust-Ordynsk Buryats became a federation subject in the Irkutsk Oblast on December 31, 2007 , but still has a special status with its rajons, including the Ossinsky.
