Yerbogachen
Yerbogachen (Ербогачён), sometimes written Erbogachen or Erbogachene, is a rural locality in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, located on the Nizhnyaya Tunguska River. It is the administrative center of Katangsky District. Population:
Yergobachen was founded in 1786 by Russian fur hunters not far from an Evenk settlement. The name - the original name was Nerbeketschen ( Нэрбэкэчэн ) - which goes back to the Evenki nerbeke for a "pine -covered hill"
From 1925 the village belonged to the Preobrazhensky Life Guards Regiment based in the 140 km upstream (to the south) village of Preobrazhenka, until it was merged in 1929 in the Kirensky rajon based in Kirensk an der Lena. In December 10, 1930, Jerbogatschon became the administrative seat of the newly formed Evenki national rajon Katanga (Russian Katangski nazionalny (Ewenkijski) rajon, after the name Katanga for the upper reaches of the Stony Tunguska in the western part of the area). During this time, the town's economy expanded to include coal mining and other industries.
Before 1940 the rajon lost the status of a national rajon and has borne its current name ever since.
Yerbogachen continued to grow and develop, and it became an important transportation hub in the region.
In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Yerbogachen has faced a number of challenges, including declining population and economic decline. Despite these challenges, the town remains an important center of industry and transportation in eastern Siberia.

The East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE. The first East Slavic state, Kievan Rus', arose in the 9th century, and in 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire. Rus' ultimately disintegrated, with the Grand Duchy of Moscow growing to become the Tsardom of Russia. By the early 18th century, Russia had vastly expanded through conquest, annexation, and the efforts of Russian explorers, developing into the Russian Empire, which remains the third-largest empire in history. However, with the Russian Revolution in 1917, Russia's monarchic rule was abolished and replaced by the Russian SFSR—the world's first constitutionally socialist state. Following the Russian Civil War, the Russian SFSR established the Soviet Union (with three other Soviet republics), within which it was the largest and principal constituent. At the expense of millions of lives, the Soviet Union underwent rapid industrialization in the 1930s, and later played a decisive role for the Allies of World War II by leading large-scale efforts on the Eastern Front. With the onset of the Cold War, it competed with the United States for global ideological influence; the Soviet era of the 20th century saw some of the most significant Russian technological achievements, including the first human-made satellite and the first human expedition into outer space.
