VENUE
TOMSK, one of the oldest Siberian towns, was founded in 1604 on the high upper bank of the Tom River. It is a historical city of 400 years old, with a present population of 520,000. Houses decorated with wooden lace, gold-plated church domes – the beauty of the streets earns for Tomsk its reputation as a historical center of Siberia. However, despite its venerable age, Tomsk appears youthful thanks to the students and young scientists. Nowadays, there are ten academic institutes and six universities in Tomsk. The oldest, Tomsk State University, has brought the glory of “Siberian Athens” to the city. Modern Tomsk is a large, generally acknowledged Russian educational and research center. Tomsk-based experts have made a valuable contribution in the advancement of radioelectronics, precision mechanical engineering and metal working, up-to-date building industries, and automatization production.
As one of the oldest cities in Siberia, Tomsk offers many architectural monuments to the past, as well as distinctive wooden houses decorated by wood-carving (see at the Web http://www.arttomsk.net/woodentomsk/. There exist numerous historical, cultural and architectural landmarks drawing visitor’s attention. Like a magnet it attracts the best people of each epoch. More about Tomsk may be learned at Web site http://www.tomsk.ru.
