Ob River. Population: 7,287 (2010 Russian census);[1] 7,085 (2002 Census);[4] 7,573 (1989 Soviet census).[5]

Geography

It is situated on three hills on the left bank of the

Severnaya Sosva River, at its junction with the Ob River. It has more than once suffered from conflagrations, including fires in 1719 and 1808.[6]
The yearly mean temperature is +4 °C (39 °F), with the low being −44 °C (−47 °F).

History

Some ill-documented Russian trade took place in the area before the

Ostyaks besieged the settlement in 1592, 1697, and 1608. It grew into a town of Beryozov (Берёзов) in Tobolsk Governorate. By the late 17th century most trade had shifted south to Verkhoturye
.

Prince Menshikov, the favorite of Peter the Great and of Catherine I, died here in exile in 1729. In 1730 Menshikov's enemy and rival, Alexey Grigoryevich Dolgorukov, was interned here with his family.

On 9 April 1740 the

Dolgorukovs.[6]

to Beryozov with his wife; he died there in 1747.

In the mid-18th century, gold was discovered at Beryozovo – Siberia's first important gold mine. Serfs and convicts worked the mine under primitive conditions and produced about 400 ounces a year (by the mid-19th century the gold sands further east were producing 600,000 ounces per year). In the 1960s, gas fields were discovered near its[

which?] lower course, causing major population growth in the area. Transport is by river boat or by ice road
.

After 1825, Beryozovo became a place of exile for many of the

Decembrists
. In the 20th century, the Tsarist regime also banished a number of revolutionaries to the area.

In 1907, on his way to exile in Obdorsk, Leon Trotsky escaped from Beryozovo on 12/13 February. It had taken him 33 days by train and horse to travel from St Petersburg. He mentions the exiling of Prince Menshikov.
