In those ancient times, these were powerful water streams that covered large areas in spring floods, where the Zarechny microdistricts and the private sector of Zareki are located in the city of Tyumen. After the earthquake, the riverbeds changed, and the full flow disappeared. First woodenthe city was erected in close proximity to the capital of the Khanate of the Golden Horde - the citadel of Chingi-Tura. This fortress disappeared after the conquest of these territories by Yermak by the sovereign decree.
