MTS paved a digital road to the world's only Kraslag Museum

MTS announces the expansion of LTE network coverage in the Irbeysko-Sayansky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

After installing a base station in the village of Tugach, more than 400 residents of a small settlement received access to high-speed mobile Internet and modern digital services for work, study and leisure.

The village of Tugach became one of ten settlements in the Irbeysko-Sayan district where MTS specialists installed telecom equipment in 2025. Since the beginning of the year, the network has also appeared in the villages of Aleksandrovka, Tumakovo, Melnichnoe, Blagoveshchenka, Taloe, Kulizhnikovo and Verkhnyaya Urya, as well as in the villages of Petropavlovka-1 and Kamenka. In just one year, more than four thousand residents of the district received a digital upgrade. The 4G network has covered all major social facilities, schools and shops in these settlements.

“We continue to implement a large project to create a seamless digital environment in the Krasnoyarsk Territory – this year MTS communications have reached more than 120 settlements in the region. We are purposefully developing infrastructure so that every resident of the region, regardless of place of residence, has equal opportunities for work, education and communication,” said Sergei Yegoshin, director of MTS in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

The village of Tugach is widely known throughout the country thanks to the local museum of the Tugach forced labor camp – one of the Kraslag points. The open-air museum was created by the descendants of the repressed, reconstructing the life of the prisoners, restoring the barracks and outbuildings where the prisoners lived and were engaged in logging. According to various sources, the number of prisoners in Tugachlag ranged from two to four thousand people.
