Geography
[edit]The following tributaries of the Yenisey flow through the district: the Podkamennaya Tunguska River, the Bakhta River, the Yeloguy River, the Nizhnyaya Tunguska River, the Turukhan River, and the Kureyka River.
History
[edit]The district was founded on June 7, 1928.[2] Historically the area served as a site of exile, to which individuals such as Ariadna Èfron (1949-1955) were banished. One center of such imprisonments was the gulag at Yermakovo, Krasnoyarsk Krai, built 1949 under the orders of Joseph Stalin, who himself had spent 1913 to 1917 exiled in the area. The prison was dismantled in 1955 two years after his death.
Later, the Central Siberia Nature Reserve was established in a sector of the district in 1985 as a protected area of the East Siberian taiga ecoregion.[9] In 2013 the Museum of Taiga Traditions was established in Bakhta village.[10]

Demographics
[edit]The district is home to most of Ket people, a small Yeniseian ethnic group whose language is thought by some linguists to be related to the Na-Dene languages of North America. Nowadays, most of people still speaking Ket live in just three localities: Kellog, Surgutikha, and Maduyka, all of which are situated in Turukhansky District.[11]
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the district was predominantly made up of Lithuanians, Germans, Russians, Tatars and Poles. When the Soviet Union fell apart, many of these peoples moved back to their respective countries, turning the entire area into an almost entirely Slavic one populated by Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Russians. Aside from Slavic populations, around 10% of the district is made up of Ket people, and a few German families.
Notable people
[edit]- Joseph Stalin lived in exile on the territory of the modern district before the October Revolution.
- Alexander Kotusov (1955 - 2019), Ket folk singer, composer and writer of songs in the Ket language.[12]
- Vasilina Makovtseva (born 1977), film and theater actress.
