Geography

Located on the banks of the Kargat River, the landscape of Zdvisk is characteristic of the southern Baraba Plain, featuring forests interspersed with steppe areas.[1] [2]

History

It was founded in 1773 as a farmed plot of land called Taskayevo (Russian: Таскаево). It grew in size in the following years and in 1896 was renamed Nizhny Kargat (Russian: Нижний Каргат). On June 7, 1933, it was given its present name, Zdvinsk, after a local revolutionary M. Zdvinsky who died in 1918. It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1978, but was demoted back to a rural locality in 1992.
