Gusinoozersk (Russian: Гусиноозёрск; Buryat: Галуута Нуур, Galuuta Nuur; Mongolian: Галуутнуур, Galuutnuur) is a town and the administrative center of Selenginsky District of the Republic of Buryatia, Russia. Population: 24,582 (2010 Census). The town is located in the area of the Selenga Highlands, on the northeastern shore of Lake Gusinoye, 110 kilometers (68 mi) southwest of Ulan-Ude.
It was founded in 1939 under the name Shakhty (Ша́хты), in connection with the commencement of exploitation of brown coal deposits in the area. In 1953, it was granted town status and given its present name, derived from Gusinoye Ozero (lit. "goose lake"), the Russian name for the lake on which the town stands.
