Yalutorovsk is a small city located on the Siberian expanses. The climate here is harsh, and the nature is surprisingly beautiful. In the vicinity of Yalutorovsk there is everything – and a dense forest, and deep bogs … However, the civilization got here a long time ago, and to get to the nearest major city – Tyumen – is not a problem.
In 1912, the last surviving member of the battle of Borodino, who was 117 years old at that time, lived here.
The most famous landmark of Yalutorovsk is the local museum complex. In 2008, he took part in the contest “Seven Wonders of Russia” and successfully reached the semi-finals.
Once Yalutorovsk was founded as a settlement, a border outpost, but for a hundred and a few years it grew and gained the status of a city.
The population of Yalutorovsk is about 40 thousand people. Interestingly, by the standards of many European countries, this city is considered large. In Norway, for example, a large city is one in which more than 20 thousand people live.
The emblem of Yalutorovsk depicts a mill wheel. The reason for his appearance on the coat of arms is simple – when the coat of arms was affirmed, in the city and its environs there was a huge number of mills.
In 1911 the first steamer (on the Tobol River) arrived here, and in 1912 the first train arrived.
Yalutorovsk is included in the list of historical cities of Russia.
