Tyukhtet

Tyukhtet stands on the river of the same name in the forested country of the Chulym basin. According to a local historical account, the village was founded in 1715 by exiled Old Believer settlers. The surrounding settlements were separated by long stretches of forest, and the Chet River served as a route between them. The waterways eventually join the Chulym and the Ob, carrying their waters west across Siberia.
