Tomsk (English spelling)
Tomsk is the capital of Tomsk Oblast in southern Western Siberia, central Russia. It is a river port city located on the southeastern edge of the Western Siberian lowland, downstream of the Tomi River, a tributary of the Ob River. It is one of the oldest cities in Siberia, founded in 1604. Before the Russian Revolution, it was known as a commercial center and an academic city in Siberia (Tomsk University, the oldest comprehensive university in Siberia, was founded in 1888, and the Polytechnic University was founded in 1900). After the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway at the end of the 19th century, the center of prosperity shifted to Novosibirsk, southwest of the city, where the railway runs. After the Revolution, industry developed, and there are industries such as ball bearings, electrical equipment, cables, motors, chemicals (dyes), rubber shoes, furniture, pencils, and matches. The development of the Tyumen oil field, which began in the 1960s, has promoted new development in Tomsk, and it is also developing as a major center of the petrochemical industry with oil transported by pipeline. In addition to the university, there are universities of education, medicine, transport, etc. A branch line of the Trans-Siberian Railway in the southeastern taiga passes through the city, and it serves as a freight transfer point for the Tomi-Obi River system. Population: 522,940 (2010).
