Дореволюционная Россия на фотографиях Минусинск. Наводнение 1916 года Russia in pre-revolutionary photographs Minusinsk Flooding in 1916 During 1916 there was a severe flood in the historic Siberian town of Minusinsk in the Province of Krasnoyarsk. The flood waters inundated a third of the town and for some time the townspeople remained without food and means of communication with the outside world as the telegraph poles were washed away. The flooding lasted, in all, about two weeks and caused untold damage to the town and the surrounding countryside. The waters tore away the town's pontoon bridge over the River Minusa, flooded warehouses, the Customs House, an Old Believer's church, the town's slaughterhouse and fruit nurseries. Many cattle were drowned and orchards and crops were submerged …….. Music: "Farewell with love" played here on Classical Russian guitar by Andrei Krylov
