Izluchinsk,
From the History of Izluchinsk
The West Siberian settlement of Izluchinsk is one of the youngest and most attractive of all Siberian cities and towns. The history of the city is fascinating. The first bricks of Nizhnevartovsk Power station were driven in the confluence of the Vah and the Ob rivers. There is a belief that the name of the settlement is connected with this historical event.

The early statistics about our settlement dates back to 1096. The first hunters and fishermen settled on the banks of the river Ob in Western Siberia. These were native Siberians – people of Mongolian physical type. They were known for their folk-songs, music and dancers and were skilled in wood-work, fishing and hunting.
In April, 1988 Izluchinsk received its settlement status. Since then it has had its own coat of arms and local authorities. Now Izluchinsk occupies an area of 7,9 sq. km. Its population is 1623 people (8325 men and 7698 women among them). One of the most attractive buildings in Izluchinsk is the Local Administration Building. In front of the Local Administration one can see the War Memorial. The Eternal Flame burns in the memory of Siberian soldiers who fought against fascists.

There are some statements from the students’ compositions about our native settlement:“ It usually gets cold and frosty in winter here, but I love my settlement in any weather.”“I like it very much, but there are still things I’d like to improve in it. In my opinion, it’s worth planting more trees and colorful flowers, creating new parks and gardens, arranging parties and festivals.”“My native settlement is very cosy, but I don’t like a lot living among liter and wastes which we have created by ourselves”.
