Tomsk was founded in 1604 by decree of Tsar Boris. And the great king said, "Under the city, a place to look, where it is good, and to draw in the drawing, and to take a place to cleanse and ask God for mercy, the city to put in a strong place."
Under the leadership of G. Pisemsky and V. Tyrkov, two hundred Cossacks arrived on the land of Tomsk in the spring of 1604. And the Cossacks decided to build a sharp on the ledge of an ancient river, towering over Tomya. On three sides of the ledge, later it was named Sunday Mountain. He was a precipitous, and even covered from the east rather swamps, from the south flows a small river Ushayka. On the northern, the most dangerous of the sides, built the Cossacks wall of high, pointy to the top pillars.
A new settlement was created on the land of the local Turkic prince Toyan, who accepted Russian citizenship, promising Tsar Boris help in strengthening Russian power in Siberia. According to historians, the Tomsk fortress, repeatedly fought off the constant raids of both Kyrgyz and other steppe peoples. But the importance of Tomsk as a border fortress has significantly decreased, and this is due to the foundation of Krasnoyarsk and Yeniseisk in the first half of the 17th century.

Tomsk is famous for its attractions, including churches. People came here to pray from the surrounding villages and villages. Unfortunately, not many of the temples, cathedrals and churches survived the revolution, and then two brutal wars. Most of them were abandoned or used as storage facilities.
