Tyukalinsk
Tyukalinsk (Тюкали́нск) is a town in Omsk Oblast, Russia, located 60 km northeast of the Nazyvayevsk railway station on the Trans-Siberian Railway and 120 km northwest of Omsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population:
In 1759, a post station of Tyukalinsky Stanets (Тюкалинский станец) existed on the Tyukala River in place of modern Tyukalinsk. It developed into the sloboda of Tyukalinskaya (Тюкалинская) in 1763. In 1823, it was granted town status, which was retracted in 1838, and reinstated in 1878. Tyukalinsk lost its commercial importance along with the Siberian Route after the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. On the outskirts of the town is a geoglyph made of pine trees that spell out "Lenin" (Ленин). Called "Lenin forest" by locals it was supposedly made in 1970, Vladimir Lenin's 100th birthday, though the exact date remains unknown. It is visible in satellite photographs at 55.8476°N, 72.1722°W.

The East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE. The first East Slavic state, Kievan Rus', arose in the 9th century, and in 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire. Rus' ultimately disintegrated, with the Grand Duchy of Moscow growing to become the Tsardom of Russia. By the early 18th century, Russia had vastly expanded through conquest, annexation, and the efforts of Russian explorers, developing into the Russian Empire, which remains the third-largest empire in history. However, with the Russian Revolution in 1917, Russia's monarchic rule was abolished and replaced by the Russian SFSR—the world's first constitutionally socialist state. Following the Russian Civil War, the Russian SFSR established the Soviet Union (with three other Soviet republics), within which it was the largest and principal constituent. At the expense of millions of lives, the Soviet Union underwent rapid industrialization in the 1930s, and later played a decisive role for the Allies of World War II by leading large-scale efforts on the Eastern Front. With the onset of the Cold War, it competed with the United States for global ideological influence; the Soviet era of the 20th century saw some of the most significant Russian technological achievements, including the first human-made satellite and the first human expedition into outer space.
