Vagay

Vagay lies near the mouth of the Vagay River, where it approaches the Irtysh downstream from Tobolsk. The village was established in the seventeenth century and appeared in records as Bogoslovskoye. Forest and wetlands border the river valleys, while the Irtysh connects the settlement with Tobolsk and the lower Ob. Spring floods and winter ice govern travel along these Siberian waterways.
