The creation of the reserve was preceded by a discussion of scientists and public figures. In August 1958, the Irkutsk Conference outlined the need to create a reserve regime on Lake Baikal. Then a group of conservation specialists spoke in the press with an open letter, where they justified the need to create a number of protected areas on Lake Baikal and in its basin. The conference participants proposed to declare a 15-kilometer zone of the coast of the lake reserved. In 1961, O. Gusev and A. A. Nasimovich in the development of these proposals was the idea of organizing a national park on Lake Baikal [1]. Since 1965, the need to recognize a part of Baikal of state territories with a special regime of waters, lands and forests began to be expressed by I.P. Gerasimov and A.A. Trofimuk.
