The town of refuge had never been historically important, and little was written about it.
It was built by the nobility, the intellectuals, the landholding class, and the old army, which had taken refuge in the town. The town's construction was insufficient simply due to lack of labor.
Then, in less than a few years, the vast red empire of the Soviet Union engulfed the Central Siberian Plateau, and a torrent of blood flooded the town, wiping it out.
Back then, the Soviet Union would not give a detailed account of a town that had defied the will of the ruling body since its founding, at a time of international turmoil when no other country cared about the place.
The town's founders must have written a lot about it, but the Soviet Union didn't spread the story around the world.
