History

The village of Staraya Zima (Ста́рая Зима́) on the present site of the town was established in 1743.[citation needed] In 1772, its population began to grow more quickly due to the construction of a horse-tract from Moscow which crossed the Oka River. Until the 1900s, Zima remained a roadside, mainly agricultural village.[citation needed]

In 1898, the Trans-Siberian railway was built through the village and a railroad station was opened. Town status was granted to Zima in 1925.[2]

Zima's population remained at around 40,000 from the 1960s until 1990; however, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the associated economic crisis, the population decreased by around 15% during the 1990s.[citation needed]

The town is the birthplace of Yevgeny Yevtushenko, a Russian poet, the author of the biographical poem "Zima Station".[citation needed]


Administrative and municipal status


Within the framework of administrative divisions, Zima serves as the administrative center of Ziminsky District,[5] even though it is not a part of it.[citation needed] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the Town of Zima[1]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[citation needed] As a municipal division, the Town of Zima is incorporated as Ziminskoye Urban Okrug.[6]


Economy


Zima's economy relies mainly on timber production and railway-related services.[citation needed]


Transportation


The town has a station on the Trans-Siberian Railway, with commuter trains to Irkutsk and Tulun. The M53 Federal highway (KrasnoyarskIrkutsk) passes through Zima.[citation needed]
