Minusinsk (70,000 inhabitants), about 400 km south of Krasnoyarsk, is the centre of the depression of the same name. A city of steppe and forests, it is flanked by the Kuzenetsk Alatau (north) and Saan Mountains (south). It is one of the oldest cities in Eastern Siberia, founded in 1739. A land of many political dissidents, including Lenin, it is otherwise famous today: established as the tomato capital by its inhabitants (people travel for miles from August to September to get their supplies), it celebrates its Tomato Day every year in mid-August. The city, decked out in red, is transformed into a giant market, as well as a competition to reward the most beautiful specimen of the season. Record to be beaten (2011): a fruit weighing 2.146 kg
