Why was Kotlas important?
Kotlas really began to develop in the 1930s as the site of a Gulag camp and so unsurprisingly it is not really a tourist destination, apart from the occasional pretty northern-style building and church. However it is an important transport hub in the region and and trains travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow stop here.
