A century and a half ago, Siberia had its own holiday, which was celebrated throughout the Russian Empire. On October 26, 1881, the 300th anniversary of the capture of Kashlik, the capital of the Siberian Khanate, by Aramek was celebrated. This date became the basis for Siberia Day. The holiday gradually spread throughout the vast area. It is celebrated in Tomsk, Tobolsk, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk and other cities. We held festive meetings, lectures, dinners, celebrations and charity events. The Siberian public used Siberia Day to talk about the location of the region in the country and its development, road construction and education. After the Bolsheviks came to power, this tradition disappeared. The day dedicated to Russia's largest region is forgotten. History. Historical facts we are in Max.
