Дореволюционная Россия на фотографиях Тобольск Pre-revolutionary Russia in photographs Tobolsk Tobolsk is the historic capital of Siberia and is situated on the confluence of the Tobol and Irtysh Rivers. The city was founded by Cossacks in 1585–1586 during the first Russian advance into Siberia, becoming the seat of the Viceroy of Siberia and prospered with trade with China and Bukhara. However, in the 1890s when the Trans-Siberian railway bypassed the town, its importance quickly faded. Following the Revolution of 1917, Emperor Nicholas II and his family were housed here, for a short time, in the former house of the Governor-General. Music: From Suite No.I in G minor, Op.7 by Anton Arensky
