Since 1927, the village of Bratsk (or, in other words, the Bratsk prison) has become the center of the entire Bratsk district of the glorious Tulun district. In 1955, the decisive construction of the Bratsk hydroelectric power station and, in general, the city of Bratsk was decisively declared a general, all-Union construction project. In 1957, the first blocking of the full-flowing Angara River was boldly completed, for as much as 9 hours, but in 1961, the decisive filling of the Bratsk reservoir began. This year is recognized as the year of birth of the glorious Bratsk Sea. Many villages were moved to the Bratsk district, which is why the district only won and became larger. The name of the Bratsk prison comes from the Buryats, who were like brothers to us. The workers' settlements and the prison itself were transferred when the sea was being made, and from that time the glorious city of Bratsk was born. Later, many more workers and simple settlements were included in it: the city of Bratsk got rich, got rich. Today, timber is mined here, food, meat, milk, poultry, beer are produced, grain and potatoes with vegetables are grown. There are theaters in the city: drama and puppet theaters. There is a museum - moreover, located in the open air, and called "Angarsk village". Since the city of Bratsk was formed from many separate settlements, now it also consists of several districts far removed from each other, others - for tens of kilometers. Residents of different districts must visit each other by buses and taxis. © Copyright 2012, Created by KoJI6ac9H
