Tyumen (Russian: Тюмень; IPA: [tʲʉˈmʲenʲ]) is the largest city and the administrative center of Tyumen Oblast, Russia, located on the Tura River 2,500 kilometers (1,600 mi) east of Moscow.
Tyumen was the first Russian settlement in Siberia. Founded in 1586 to support Russia's eastward expansion, the city has remained one of the most important industrial and economic centers east of the Ural Mountains. Located at the junction of several important trade routes and with easy access to navigable waterways, Tyumen rapidly developed from a small military settlement to a large commercial and industrial city. The central part of Old Tyumen retains many historic buildings from throughout the city's history.
Today Tyumen is an important business center. Tyumen is the transport hub and industrial center of Tyumen Oblast—a vast oil-rich region stretching from the Kazakhstani border to the Arctic Ocean—as well as the home of many companies active in Russia's oil and gas industry.
Tyumen covers an area of 235 square kilometers (91 sq mi). Its primary geographical feature is the Tura River, which crosses the city from northwest to southeast. The river is navigable downstream of the city. The left bank of the Tura is a floodplain surrounded by gently rolling hills. The Tura is a shallow river with extensive marshlands.

Встреча Low Tyumen.
(Dave Hill-Steve Brookes)(Cloth Cap Songs)
They were fighting for their civil rights
We were raising hell on motorbikes
Then someone shouted anarchy
We all got up to dance
We answered revolutions call
Drove the politicians up the wall
But I guess we knew that it would end
When we outgrew the cause
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
The fashion thing was all the rage
With bristles studs and razor blades
Our parents thought that we were mad
We'd totally lost control
It was anti this and anti that
But still they fed us all that crap
About God the queen, the flag
It was still worth dying for
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Now we stand for king and queen
And all of life's desires
Two kids, a wife, surburbia and an XR3 on hire
Now we sing God save the queen
With a lot more of tradition
We gladly stand and fall in line
And forget the things we'd written
The spirit I can still recall when I
Heard it in the record store
The songs that broke the barriers down
And gave us back our youth
Freedom was our battle cry
We swore we'd live or else we'd die
And change the world a little bit
While we still had the time
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Every generation comes of age
And settles for the same old ways
The rebel song is handed down to
New champions of the cause
But we always will remember when
Those magic days of us and them
Before we all grew up and moved away
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Now we stand for king and queen
And all of life's desires
Two kids, a wife, surburbia and an XR3 on hire
Now we sing God save the queen
With a lot more of tradition
We gladly stand and fall in line
And forget the things we'd written
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Now we stand for king and queen
And all of life's desires
Two kids, a wife, surburbia and an XR3 on hire
Now we sing God save the queen
With a lot more of tradition
We gladly stand and fall in line
And forget, forget
