About Krasnoyarsk

In 2028, Krasnoyarsk will celebrate a significant milestone — 400 years since its foundation.

This anniversary is not just a round date, but an occasion to reflect on the city's journey from a small prison on the banks of the Yenisei to a major industrial, scientific and cultural center of Siberia.

For four centuries, Krasnoyarsk passed through the epochs of gold mining and merchant trade, experienced rapid industrial growth and preserved a unique architectural heritage. Today the city is developing dynamically: New neighborhoods and bridges are being built, modern educational and cultural spaces are being opened, and large‑scale environmental projects are being implemented. The celebration of the 400th anniversary is an opportunity to recall the bright pages of history together, celebrate the achievements of contemporaries and outline the vector of development of Krasnoyarsk for the next decades.
