Kalachinsk

Kalachinsk

Kalachinsk ( _ru. Кала́чинск) is a town in Omsk Oblast, Russia, 100 km east of Omsk. Population: 23,200 (2004 est.); 24,247 (2002 Census); 25,014 (1989 Census). It is located on the Om River along the busiest segment of the Trans-Siberian Railway, after its southern and northern branches meet in Omsk.

In the Soviet days of restricted commerce, it acquired local fame for its week-end market. Fueled by visitors from Kalachinsk arriving by elektrichkas (trains) to Omsk, the Omsk open-air flea markets bustled with a life of its own, seemingly defying the communist realities.
