Abstract (AI)
The All-Union scientific-practical conference on the development of the Angara-Yenisei watershed by building several large hydroelectric power plants for subsequent construction of territorial-industrial complexes was held in Irkutsk in 1932. This conception has been implemented since the 50-s of the XX century. Such hyper-industrialization of the region resulted in change of a settlement structure, disappearance of historically rural settlements which are regarded the monuments of wooden architecture, history and culture. The article summarizes the unique experience of rural settlements (the Evenks and the Russian settlers in the XVII -XXI centuries). There is no similar museum in the world, the museum displaying everyday life of the Evenk family. This is viewed as a scientific and practical significance of the museum of architecture and ethnography "Angara village". The museum also shows the life of the Russian settlers in the XVII -XX centuries. Similar settlements in East Siberia are presented in "Tal'tsy" and "Shushenskoe" outdoor historic museums.
