Kolyvan (Russian: Колыва́нь) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Kolyvansky District of Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia, located on the Ob River 40 kilometers (25 mi) to the north of Novosibirsk. Population: 11,842 (2010 Census);[1] 10,947 (2002 Census);[4] 10,589 (1989 Soviet census).[5]
History
[edit]Until the 1890s, Kolyvan was the commercial center of the surrounding area. During the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway in the 1890s, there were plans to route the railroad through Kolyvan and Tomsk. However, Nikolai Garin-Mikhailovsky, the engineer responsible for routing the railroad in the area, decided that a site at the village of Krivoshchyokovo, some 40 kilometers (25 mi) upstream from Kolyvan, would be much more suitable for bridge construction: that was the only spot within the area where both the river banks and river bed were of solid rock; besides, the Ob floodplain is the narrowest there as way. Despite the protests of Kolyvan and Tomsk merchants, Garin-Mikhailovsky's southern route was approved by Alexander III in 1892.
The bridge was built at Krivoshchekovo; the new city of Novo-Nikolayevsk (later renamed Novosibirsk) arose around the bridge, and eventually became Siberia's largest city, meanwhile Kolyvan stagnated.
Culture
[edit]The majority of the log houses in Kolyvan are over two hundred years old, making the settlement a historical monument in itself.
Works by Kolyvan craftsmen are exhibited in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
Local attractions include a museum of local history and a Russian Orthodox convent.
