Pustozersk is the remains of an ancient Russian settlement from the 15^th century.

It was an outpost of the Moscow state on its northeastern outskirts, founded in 1499 by decree of Tsar Ivan III. In the XVI-XVII centuries Pustozersk was the administrative, economic and cultural center of the Pechora region.

In the XVI century Pustozersk became the main stronghold in the Russian advance to the northeast and played a significant role in the development of the Far North and Siberia. Its inhabitants have considerable merit in opening the ways to the Arctic islands of Novaya Zemlya, Svalbard, to the mouths of Siberian rivers. The first searches and extraction of copper and silver ores in the Russian North and the first attempts to develop the oil business in Russia are connected with Pustozersk.

Since the second half of the XVII century it became a place of exile. The ideologist of the early Old Believers and the Russian writer Protopop Avvakum and his followers, disgraced courtiers Artamon Matveev, Semyon Shcherbatov, Ivan Dolgoruky, participants of the "Solovetsky sitting" K. Bulavin and S. Razin uprisings served their sentences here.

To date, more than 40 archaeological heritage sites have been found. The earliest sites date back to the II millennium BC. According to archaeology, long before the appearance of Pustozersk, it was a place of barter and transit routes connecting Russia with Siberia.

Today Pustozersk is a famous tourist attraction because of the beautiful unspoiled by human activities nature and the opportunity to see a ghost town which doesn’t exist anymore.
