Bakhtinsky

Bakhta lies where the Bakhta River reaches the Yenisei, amid the forests of northern Siberia. A Russian winter station was established at the river mouth in 1608, shortly after the stations at Turukhansk and Inbatskoye. These small posts served people travelling and collecting fur tribute along the great river. The Bakhta flows from the west through the taiga before joining the Yenisei on its long course towards the Arctic.
