Tatarskaya Tesyu

Tatarskaya Tesyu stands on the left bank of the Tes, a tributary of the Yenisei in the Khakas country north of Abakan. The village was established in 1763 and took its name from the river. It was later known as Sukhaya Tes. Its location in the basin placed it among the small settlements of the upper Yenisei, between the open steppe and the surrounding uplands.
