Ilimsk

Ilimsk (Russian: Илимск) was a small town in Siberia, within today's Irkutsk Oblast of Russia.

Much of the grain was shipped down the Lena to feed the Okhotsk Coast and other areas in eastern Siberia.

His wife had died, and her sister joined Radishchev in Ilimsk, bringing his younger children with her.

Before the site was flooded, archaeological excavations were carried out in the village during 1967–75; the Spasskaya Tower and the Church of Our Lady of Kazan from the old ostrog (wooden fort) were taken apart and moved to the Taltsy Museum (Russian: Тальцы), an open-air museum of traditional architecture near Irkutsk.

In the early 2000s, an exact copy of another tower of the former Ilimsk ostrog and the southern wall of the fortress were built at the Taltsy site next to the buildings moved from Ilimsk, thus recreating a large portion of the historic fortified town within easy reach from Irkutsk.
