History
It has existed since the beginning of the 17th century as a village. Town status was granted to it in 1938.
Mass Grave
During the Great Purge Kolpashevo was the site of mass executions carried out by the NKVD, with the corpses of those executed being disposed of in a mass grave. In May 1979 meandering of the Ob river caused a mass grave containing more than 1,000 mummified corpses to become exposed. A number of cover-stories were issued by the local government, first that these bones were cattle bones, and then that these were the bodies of deserters from the Second World War. Instead most of the bodies were people from Tomsk. Yegor Ligachev, the provincial party chief, took charge of a cover-up operation to destroy the mass grave using tugs, and used the KGB to coerce local people to dispose of the corpses by sinking them. [10]
