Nazimovo

Nazimovo lies on the left bank of the Yenisei, north of Yeniseisk, in the forested country of the middle river. Local accounts trace it to a winter station founded in 1631 and associate its beginnings with the explorer Yerofey Khabarov. The Yenisei flows north through a broad region of taiga, receiving rivers from both the western lowland and the uplands to the east before reaching the Arctic.
