In Krasnoyarsk region on the spot fresh geographical centre of Russia has already laid the cross. Clergymen of the Krasnoyarsk diocese and Yeniseisk diocese established Orthodox mark and performed the rite of his consecration.
"Before that, the geographical center of Russia was on the hill, where in 1992 the Evenk masters was built the chapel of St. Sergius of Radonezh, and has 8 meter high Orthodox cross", - quotes the Governor of Krasnoyarsk branch of Russian geographical society Gennady Lubina ITAR-TASS.
The new geographical center is usually seen mortgage cross and is considered the official centre of our country, however few travellers will be able to see him. "The place where the wild, sparsely populated, remote from cities. From the nearest village Tour - the district centre of Evenkia fly by helicopter to 2 hours. Only the district nomadic herders sometimes go see them," explained Gennady Lubenets.

Geographical coordinates of the centre of the Russian Federation, placed on the Putorana plateau 66 degrees 25 minutes North latitude and 94 degrees 15 minutes East longitude. New official centre after revision by the Federal service of geodesy and cartography of the South-Eastern shore of lake Vivi was officially recognized as the geographical centre of Russia.
