Famous visitors
In 1720-1727 the well-known medic and botanist Gotlib Messerschmidt visited the Stolby Reserve in Krasnoyarsk. During seven years of research in Siberia, he visited the area three times. The seafarer Vitus Bering (in 1733-1734) and the participant of the naturalists expedition Johann Georg Gmelin (academician) and his assistant Krasheninnikov (Kamchatsky) Stepan Petrovich came to the Stolby Reserve in 1735. From 1771 to 1773 the State Reserve "Stolby" visited one of the largest researchers of Siberia Pallas (professor of natural history). He lived in the capital of the region for almost a year, working on monographs. His works such as "Journey through the provinces of the Russian Empire", "Russian-Asian zoogeography" and "Description of plants of the Russian state" have become famous.
The thirties of the 19th century in Siberia were characterized as the times of the "gold rush". On the territory of the reserve were constantly searching for precious metal, after which this place was called "Roev stream" (from the word "dig").
In 1833 the animals of the Stolby reserve were recounted. An inventory was compiled: 43 foxes, 67 sables and about a thousand skins of other fur-bearing animals. In the 1970s and 1980s schoolchildren with excursions began to come to the Stolby Reserve (Krasnoyarsk). The head of such events was one of the teachers of the local gymnasium - I.T. Savenkov. He created a topographical sketch of all the environs of Krasnoyarsk. This work has become a methodological tool for Siberian geologists. And in 1886 Savenkov published a description of the geological structures of the localities of Krasnoyarsk. By the end of the 1940s, 16 scientific papers had already been prepared. At the same time, research was undertaken into the effects of atmospheric pollution, as well as the recreational use of taiga ecological systems.
In 2000, the main department in the Zoo "Roev Stream" in the reserve "Stolby" becomes a living place.
