history

The place was created in connection with the construction of the Baikal Railway from 1902, the last section of the Trans-Siberian Railway , which should bypass Lake Baikal in the south and replace the previously existing ferry connection between Port Baikal and Myssovsk (today Babushkin). The line with the Tanchoi station was opened in 1904. The station settlement grew rapidly and was given the status of an urban-type settlement in 1934, but lost its importance from the 1950s.
