Bor

Bor lies on the left bank of the Yenisei near the mouth of the Podkamennaya Tunguska. The great eastern tributary meets the Yenisei below a stretch of rocky country once known simply as the Stone, giving rise to its Russian name. Ket communities lived along the Yenisei and lower Tunguska before Russian traders and servicemen arrived from the north in the early seventeenth century.
