Yemelyanovo

Yemelyanovo lies in the Kacha valley west of Krasnoyarsk. Several villages grew here in the early eighteenth century, including Yemelyanova, Zaledeeyeva, Ustanova and Areyskoye. The Moscow-Siberian road later passed through their neighbourhood, linking the settlement to Krasnoyarsk and the long route west. The river valley provided the setting in which these neighbouring communities gradually grew together.
