There is a historical legend associated with the tower in Bratsk Fort. Bratsk Fort, like many other remote parts of Siberia, was a place of banishment. Rumour has it that it was in this tower that one of the most vident schismatics of the 17th century was imprisoned for a while – the indomitable archpriest Avvakum, unfrocked, anathematised, whipped but still a militant fighter for the old belief. The second of the two towers surviving those times was taken to the Kolomenskoye Estate - museum in Moskow.

2. What did old Baikal do to stop his daughter?

I’d like to tell you a legend about the Angara. According to a legend, old Baikal was brought gifts of water by his 336 sons – large, small and tiny mountain rivers (554 according to new calculations). To counterbalance her brothers Angara, Baikal’s the only daughter, carried out into the world between her broad banks Baikal’s precious water, which had settled in the Siberian lake for 4 centuries. The Angara is a restive river. The legend of old man Baikal and his wilful daughter Angara tells how Baikal threw the Shaman Stone after his daughter as she was running to her hero Yenisei, but he failed to stop her.
