Siberian Federal District
Identification
This record is best understood as the Rosrezerv storage network for the Siberian Federal District, overseen by the regional Rosrezerv administration in Novosibirsk rather than as a single installation. Government Order No. 1659-r lists a Siberian district set of FGKU combines whose names closely match the placemarks, including Almaz, Angara, Argun, Voshod, Gigant, Ermak, Zaliv, Irkut, Irtysh, Kedr, Lena, Luch, Malakhit, Mars, Pribaikalye, Priboy, Sibirsky, Tekhnika, Trud, Chulym, and Yunost; current registry entries place the district administration at 22 Sovietskaya Street, Novosibirsk.

Mission
Under Federal Law No. 79-FZ, the state material reserve exists to support Russia’s mobilization needs, emergency-response work, humanitarian aid, and temporary economic stabilization. The same law states that reserve stocks, buildings, supporting infrastructure, and land used by organizations in the reserve system are federal property, which frames these sites as protected state logistics assets rather than ordinary commercial warehousing.

Disposition
Open-source customer and registry records place Siberian-district depots at Polovino-Cheremkhovo in Taishet district (Almaz), Chulym-3 (Tekhnika), Usolie-Sibirskoye (Pribaikalye), Balyaga (Yunost), station Lesnaya (Luch), Shilka (Argun), and Barabinsk (Mars). Taken together, these documented locations form an east-west belt across the main Siberian settlement and rail corridor; that corridor assessment is an analytic inference from the published settlement pattern, not an official Rosrezerv description.

Infrastructure
One node has explicit rail infrastructure in open sources: Roszheldor recorded in July 2024 that the Mariinsk site formerly named FGKU Kombinat "Altai" was renamed FGKU "Geolog" and operates a non-public railway siding connected to Mariinsk station. At Usolie-Sibirskoye, official public-hearing notices for FGKU Kombinat "Pribaikalye" describe construction of a truck-loading platform for loading oil products into road tankers and, separately, a heating-pipeline project, indicating continued investment in fuel-handling and utility infrastructure.

Caveats
Placemark naming is not fully standardized against legal records: the government order uses the legal form FGKU "kombinat" across the Siberian list, whereas the metadata mixes "combine" and "plant." One listed placemark is a clear outlier: FGKU "Borets" is assigned by the same government order to the Ural Federal District, not the Siberian Federal District. The Mariinsk node also uses a legacy name in the metadata, because official railway documents now refer to the former Kombinat "Altai" as FGKU "Geolog."
