Malinsk is a historic city in the Kemerovo Oblast of Russia, located in southwestern Siberia on the banks of the Kiya River, about 180 kilometers from the state capital, Kemerovo. Founded in 1698 as Kiiskoye, the city was elevated to the status of a city in 1856 and renamed Malinsk the following year in honor of Empress Maria Alexandrovna, wife of Tsar Alexander II.
Malinsk is one of the major hubs of the Siberian Railway, connecting the European part of Russia with the Far East, and is known as the "Gate of Siberia". The economy is based on railroad transportation, timber processing and agriculture, and the surrounding area is rich in grain and potatoes. The city still retains the architectural style of the 19th century, and some of the wooden houses are listed as cultural heritage.
Malinsk boasts historical attractions such as the Museum of Local History and the World War II Memorial, as well as unique natural beauty. Due to its location on a major transportation route, it often serves as a stopover for travelers on the Trans-Siberian Railway. In recent years, historical and cultural tourism has been developed to attract visitors to experience a traditional Siberian town.
