Irkutsk was founded in 1661 at the junction of two rivers: the Angara
and the Irkut by the Cossacks under the leadership of Yakov Pokhabov.
The
capital of East Siberia is one of the largest Siberian cities.
The population of
Irkutsk is about 600 000 people.
It was founded as an outpost near Lake Baikal,
the deepest and cleanest lake in the world.
Irkutsk has a long and eventful
history.
Its economic importance grew after 1700 when it became a transit point
to Mongolia
