The city founded in 1957 1 Akademgorodok During the Soviet era, it was a privileged place with 65,000 scientists among its 200,000 inhabitants. It fell into disrepair after 1991 and the number of residents fell to 50,000. As a residential area, the area is valued again because of its higher quality compared to the prefabricated buildings in other suburbs.
