Tomsk

Located in the southwest of the West Siberian Plain, this is the 14th largest region in Russia and has as its capital, the city of Tomsk. The region borders were defined in 1944 but the city of Tomsk was founded in 1604 and now has a population of around one-half million. It also contains some smaller towns and cities such as Strezhevoy, Asino and Kolpashev which are listed below. The region borders on the Krasnoyarsk Kray, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Omsk, and Tyumen Oblasts.

We have grouped the resources for the the Tomsk region and city together and have placed the other cities and towns below those.

We hope this list will continue to grow as more communities become represented on the World Wide Web so please be sure to let us know if you are aware of any other sites.
