Cherga ( Russian Черга ) is a village (selo) in the north of the Autonomous Republic of Altai , in southwestern Siberia . It has 1826 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).
It is located on the Sema , a left tributary of the Katun , the left and larger source river of the Ob , about 50 km southwest of the republic capital Gorno-Altaisk and north of Schebalino . The most important road connection in the region is the Russian-Mongolian trunk road M52 , which comes from Novosibirsk and Gorno-Altaisk to the south in the Russian Altai up to the Mongolian border at Taschanta . On a section south of Gorno-Altaisk, however, it no longer follows the Katun river, but instead gives way to its narrow opening in the foothills into a side valley, where it leads through Tscherga. There the regional road R369 branches off from the M52, which overcomes the Komarski pass already in the Altai region in a north-westerly direction and follows the Kamenka further north via Altaiskoje and Sowetskoje to shortly before Biysk .
The place is the seat of the rural community Tscherginskoje selskoje posselenije with a total of 1868 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010), to which besides Tscherga also the small village Barlak (42 inhabitants) belongs.
