Tayshet (Russian: Тайшет; IPA: [tɐjˈʂɛt], lit. cold river in the Ket language) is a town and the administrative center of Tayshetsky District in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, located 669 kilometers (416 mi) from Irkutsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 35,485 (2010 Census);[6] 38,535 (2002 Census);[9] 42,391 (1989 Census).[10]
History
It was founded in 1897 as a supply point and station on the Trans-Siberian Railway and was granted town status in 1938.
During the 1930s–1950s, Tayshet was the center of administration for gulag labor camps Oserlag and Angarstroy. Construction of the first section of the Baikal–Amur Mainline started in 1937 and was managed from here. According to some survivor accounts, between Tayshet and Bratsk there is "a dead man under every sleeper." Along with Japanese prisoners from the Kwantung Army, German prisoners of war formed a large proportion of the forced labor contingent, generally under a 25-year sentence. The Germans were repatriated in autumn of 1955, after West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's visit to Moscow.
