The history of Tyumen (the first Russian city in Siberia) began in the late 16th century, though the area has been inhabited since ancient times. Before the Russian settlement, the site was the location of Chingi-Tura, the capital of the Tyumen Khanate.
The history of Tyumen has been studied by numerous scholars. Early history was reflected in the works of the first professional historian of Siberia, Gerhard Friedrich Müller, in his "Description of the Siberian Kingdom" (1750).[1]
In 1858, local historian N. A. Abramov published a historical sketch of the city up to the mid-19th century.[1] Before the Russian Revolution, a significant contribution was made by P. M. Golovachev, who published the collection "Tyumen in the 17th Century" (1903).[1]
Soviet scholars, including Sergey Bakhrushin and V. I. Shchunkov, researched the city's role in the development of Siberia.[1] The establishment of Soviet power was studied by P. I. Roshchevsky.[1] Further research by M. M. Gromyko, N. Kurilov, V. A. Skubnevsky, and G. Kh. Rabinovich focused on Tyumen as a commercial center.[1] Architectural monuments were documented by V. I. Kochedamov, A. M. Pribytkova, and S. V. Kopylova.[1]
In the post-Soviet period, a key contribution was made by V. M. Kruzhinov, whose works cover political and socio-economic processes from the city's foundation to the 21st century.[2]
