Geography
Located on the banks of the Kargat River, the landscape of Zdvisk is characteristic of the southern Baraba Plain, featuring forests interspersed with steppe areas.[4][5]
History
It was founded in 1773 as a farmed plot of land called Taskayevo (Таскаево). It grew in size in the following years and in 1896 was renamed Nizhny Kargat (Нижний Каргат). On June 7, 1933, it was given its present name, Zdvinsk, after a local revolutionary M. Zdvinsky who died in 1918. It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1978, but was demoted back to a rural locality in 1992.
Transportation
Zdvinsk does not have direct railway access or an airport. The Baikal Highway passes by the town and connects it with Barabinsk, a major railway station.
