Omsk is one of the largest cities in Siberia and it could have been the start of the formation of Siberian Republic. However it was not, the bolsheviks regained control over Russia and Omsk became a part of the Soviet Union.

script intro

Omsk is not a city that inspires love at first sight.

But it is Siberia’s second-largest after Novosibirsk,

and if you ask someone east of the Urals which city is the most Siberian of all the answer may very well be Omsk.

While Irkutsk (because of Lake Baikal) and Novosibirsk (due to its size) usually get all the attention, Omsk has grown organically to become a significant metropolis.

It is about 450 km (280 mi) north of Kazakhstan's capital Nur-Sultan, 600 km (370 mi) west of Novosibirsk and 2236km away from Moscow.

So what are the origins of this city, what important role did it play in the formation of modern Russia and what drives it today?
