history
The place was founded in 1690 on the right bank of the Angara below the Uda estuary and called Ust-Udinskaja or later also Ust-Udinskoje ( ust (je) stands for "estuary" in Russian). In the 19th century it became the administrative seat of a Volost , and in 1925 it was the administrative seat of a rajon named after him under its current name. When the Bratsker reservoir was flooded from 1961, the old village was completely flooded and a new village was built 30 km upstream. Its founding year is 1962; at the same time it received the status of an urban-type settlement.
