Samara is one of the main cities of the Volga
region. This is a millionaire and a large industrial center, the
famous, inter alia, its aerospace industry, but at the same time a
corner of touching antiquity with low -rise quarters, cozy
courtyards and the city piercing the city, as well as the beautiful
embankment of the Volga. In the vicinity of Samara there are a lot
of monotonous steppe and brutal industry, although there are also
wide Volga expanses, especially beautiful from the Zhiguli
mountains, unique to the Volga landscape. Through Samara, the main
path from the European part of Russia to Central Asia goes through.
The date of the founding of Samara is considered to be 1586, but
for a long time there was only a small fortress, obeying below the
Volga Syzran. Then the settlement around the fortress became a small
county city of the Simbirsk province. Everything changed in the 19th
century, when the development of the Orenburg region made Samara a
convenient Volga port for the export of grain. The city began to
grow like yeast and already in 1850 became the center of a separate
province, which included, in addition to the entire modern Samara
region, also the west of the Orenburg and East of Saratovskaya. This
“agricultural complex” quickly went to the leaders in the production
of wheat, and elevators have become an important part of the city
landscape and work in Samara to this day.
By the beginning of
the 20th century, Samara was still inferior in terms of population
to Saratov and Kazan, but already overtook Nizhny Novgorod. Before
the revolution, theaters and university appeared in the city, a tram
movement was opened. Under the Soviet regime, Samara managed to be
the center of the whole of the Middle Volga Territory, and during
the Great Patriotic War she was prepared for a special role in the
“reserve capital”, which was evacuated by ministries, the Bolshoi
Theater and even foreign embassies, which are now reminiscent of
memorial signs on many mansions in the historical center . Since
1935, the city was called Kuibyshev in honor of the corresponding
Bolshevik, who established Soviet power here, but already in 1991
Samara was returned to the historical name.
After the war,
Samara continued to develop as an industrial city. Togliatti - the
capital of AvtoVAZ and the Chemical Industry Center, grew up 100 km
north of it, and Syzran rose and built from Zero Novokuybyshevsk in
the Oblzhsky steppes. Samara Konurbation with a population of about
2.5 million people stretched along the Volga for more than 200
kilometers, becoming the largest in the Volga region and the third
largest in Russia. The landscape does not decorate the heavy
industry, although it still has one useful property for tourists.
Samara with her “satellites” are located mainly on the left bank of
the Volga, and the right retained its original appearance with the
protected landscape of the Zhigulev Mountains, the most embossed
part of the Volga region. There is not even a bridge over the Volga
in Samara - it is simply not needed here, and if you are traveling
from the west, then you will cross the Volga either along the dam of
the Zhigulevsky hydroelectric power station next to Togliatti or
under Syzran.
Like everywhere in the Volga region, it is better to
go in late spring (from the second decade of May to early June), late
summer or at the very beginning of autumn. But it is worth considering
that in May and August-September there are sometimes rains and cloudy
weather. In the midst of summer (from late June to the beginning of
August) it is very hot here: +30-38 ° C, but the water in the Volga
warms up to a state of pleasant fresh milk, and just at this time it is
good to swim, since at the beginning of summer the city beaches are not
yet They manage to put in order, and by mid -August the river begins to
“bloom”.
In winter, in the city, frosty, up to -20-25 ° C, but
this period can be interesting for novice skiers, skiers, snowboarders
(December -March), winter cuteers (January -February), participants in
dog sledges (early January), Lovers of genuine fish fishing right on the
frozen Volga. New Year's Samara (old part) from mid -December to early
January is especially beautiful.
The theater season from October
to June, although interesting performances are in the summer. In winter,
the shipping on the frozen Volga is carried out on ships with inflatable
pillows.
By plane
As of May 2022, the Samara airport is accepted by 10-12
daily flights from three Moscow airports and 3-5 flights per day from
St. Petersburg. Regularly aircraft fly to
Yekaterinburg,
Kazan,
Nizhny
Novgorod, Novosibirsk,
Kaliningrad, Ufa,
Tyumen, Rostov-on-Don,
Sochi,
Krasnodar, Voronezh,
Chelyabinsk, Omsk,
Surgut and Nizhnevartovsk. Of
the regular international flights, directions to
Dubai,
Antalya and the
Central Asian and Transcaucasian cities, the rest are charters. With
many advantages, the Samara airport has one great drawback: it is built
as the general airport of Samara and Togliatti, and therefore is very
distant from both cities. A trip to the airport not only takes a lot of
time, but also significantly increases the total costs if you have to
use a taxi.
Kurumoch airport named after Sergey Korolev (Iata:
Kuf). For the regional Russian airport, the new terminal (2015) was
built in Kuroshok with a big claim: high ceilings, several tiers and
laconic design in the high-tech style-only white walls and glass. The
zones of the arrival and registration are combined on the ground floor,
where there is also a storage chamber (300 ₽/day), a coffee shop and a
restaurant, but the lowest prices are in the Bonzhorno cafe, Genacval,
where there are no tables, but there is a kind of long “bar counter ",
Reminiscent of a Japanese sushi bar; The menu has khachapuri, pizza,
pies. All establishments work around the clock. In the internal
departure zone, the only power point is the Volga-Volga cafe with
distribution, tactfully set by a microwave and restaurant prices. The
whole terminal is free Wi-Fi. The Hotel "Aviatel" (from 3000 ₽ per room)
is located a kilometer from the terminal near the old, now closed
terminal No. 2.
How to get there: the airport is 55 km from the
center of Samara and at about the same distance from Togliatti. Whatever
direction you go, it will take a lot of time. The railway spent at the
airport is idle.
Buses No. 652 Samara -Togliatti through the
airport depart on average every hour, but do not go after 22 hours and
can deviate from the declared schedule. The ticket costs 160 ₽ (2021).
In Samara, buses go to the Central Bus Station and further to the
railway station. The calculated travel time to the bus station is about
an hour. In fact, instead of a bus, an ordinary tight minibus may come.
Minibus No. 392 (every 30 minutes) does not follow the M5 highway, but
through the Volzhsky village with a beautiful view of the Zhigulevsky
mountains. The path to the Barboshina Polyana (this is the northern part
of Samara and the closest place to the airport resembling the city)
takes about an hour. The same minibus rides further deep into the city
past the central bus station, but does not go to the center. The fare:
45 ₽.
Minibus No. 406 is similar to the 392nd and follows in the
village. Birch is next to the airport, but does not drive up to the
terminal, but stops next to the aircraft. Nevertheless, if you are
traveling from the barboshina meadow, sit faster into any minibus to the
village. Birch and then go about another kilometer to the terminal, if
you came across 406th. Please note that after 20 hours, any transport in
the village. Birch stops going.
A taxi costs from 1000 ₽ to the
center and 750 ₽ to the barboshina clearing (2021)
Autocass (6:00
- 22:00) is located inside the terminal near the Star Coffee coffee
shop. Only at this cash desk you will be provided with relevant
information about buses and sold a ticket or say that tickets are over.
Large and beautiful informational posters in the baggage is hopelessly
outdated - even bus routes are shown incorrectly on them.
By
train
Trains from Moscow pass through Samara in the direction of
Orenburg and Central Asia. The Moscow company train travels to Samara
Night (13 hours), but others go noticeably longer (15-20 hours). To
Orenburg 8 hours, to Ufa 8-9 hours, and to Saratov 9 hours to Penza 6-7
hours, and there is a “day express” over time on the way only 4.5 hours.
You need to go to Ulyanovsk through Syzran and, most likely , by bus.
Suburban message: electric trains and “swallows” in Togliatti
(Zhigulevsky Sea station, 1.5-2 hours) and Syzran (1.5-2.5 hours), go
3-4 times a day.
Railway station, Komsomolskaya pl. 1. A bright
blue glass building opened in 2001 was the first Russian high-tech
station. His artistic virtues are controversial (evil languages call the
station only as the “end of Leo Tolstoy” by location on the
corresponding street), but the capropmander architecture is very
unusual; It is believed that this is the highest station in Europe (101
m along with the spire). Inside, it slightly resembles a multi -level
office building, and between the levels you can move along a smooth
inclined path without using either a staircase or an elevator. The zones
of the waiting room are located around the perimeter of this spiral
"serpentine". The station is spacious and sterile empty, the minimum
snack offers only a stand with coffee and pastries, near which there are
almost no tables. On the station square, the matter with food is better:
there are KFC (8:00 - 23:00), the Uzbek cafe "Namangan" (around the
clock) and the dining room "Lavrushka" (9:00 - 21:00). On the upper
floors of the station, a panoramic observation deck and a winter garden,
where they are allowed on the ticket (ask in the service center on the
2nd floor of the station).
The station is located almost in the
center of Samara: 15 minutes on foot to the opera house and half an hour
to the Square of the Revolution. Public transport stops right in front
of the building, but taxi cars are usually waiting for passengers across
the road - in the center of Komsomolskaya Square.
According to a
good Russian tradition, many stairs and passages around the station can
be blocked "for security reasons." For example, it can be difficult to
go inside the building with platforms, instead arrived passengers are
offered to go down the ground, to the tunnel.
In addition to the
main station in Samara, there are several stations and platforms on
which suburban trains stop.
By car
To the north of the city
passes the M5 Moscow -Ufa highway through Ryazan, Penzu (420 km) and
Togliatti (100 km). The congress from it goes to the Moscow highway -
one of the main Samara highways.
Other tracks: to Orenburg (410
km), Uralsk (260 km) and Dimitrovgrad, and in the direction of Balakovo
(310 km) and Saratov (480 km) you can travel with two roads - either
along the right bank of the Volga through Syzran, or along the left
through Pugachev , and the road along the right bank shorter and much
better quality.
There are several bridges across the Samara
River, and when moving from the south, you will definitely have to cross
some of them. There are no bridges through the Volga in Samara - almost
all the transport follows the dam of the Zhigulevsky hydroelectric power
station in the Togliatti area. Within the city, the only car ferry is
working, which several times a day should be in the village of
Rozhdestvenin on the right bank.
By bus
Central bus station,
st. Aurora, 207 (at the intersection with the Moscow highway).
On
the ship
The Samara river passenger company serves several suburban
flights, the farthest of which reaches the village of Shiryaevo and ash
in the heart of the Zhigulevsky mountains. The once existing flights of
high -speed ships for Syzran and Tolyatti have not been executed for a
long time, but in the summer the Volga is a rather active cruise
shipping.
River Station, st. Maxim Gorky, 82 (at the descent from
Ventsek Street). One of the largest river ports on the Volga, accepts
regular and cruise ships. Official navigation from late April to early
October. The river station is located in the old, historical part of the
city, so you can walk from it on foot to some attractions or walk along
the Samara embankment. The schedule is on their website. Do not confuse
the river station with the Samara river port, which is a cargo and is
located two kilometers south.
The marina "Barboshin Polyana"
("Polyana named after Frunze"), st. 9th clearing, 5th line (next to the
Samara sanatorium). Some vessels, following the river station towards
Shiryaev, stop here in order to pick up or land passengers. There is a
cash desk and a site where you can clarify the schedule. This is the
second most important Samara pier, but there is no special
infrastructure here, and it is best to get by a taxi from the city.
Pier "October descent", st. Lieutenant Schmidt, 1B (to the left of
the church of St. Mitrofan Voronezh and his monument). Another rather
busy marina. Servs ships and boats on the opposite shore, as well as
private custom -made walking boats and ships. From here it goes steam in
Christmas - the best option for crossing the bicycle and for traveling
by car. Flight vessels do not stop here.
In addition, in the city
there are parking for private yachts and boats.
Most of the transportation falls on trams and municipal buses, there
is also a trolley, one metro line and a branched network of minibuses
represented by minibuses and grooves. On the official website of city
transport, you can find detailed information about routes and see the
traffic in real time. To build the route, the Yandex-Cart Service
application is useful. The application takes into account the real
situation on the roads, but it works poorly for minibuses.
Payment of the fare: in municipal public transport (metro, tram, trolley
and bus) 35 ₽ when paying in cash and 32 ₽ when paying a contactless
bank card. There are transport cards (one for a bus, tram, trolley and
metro), including unlimited. Sold in post offices and at metro stations.
Payment in the municipal bus, tram and trolleybus to the conductor, and
in some trams, trolleybuses and buses of the new generation, special
validators for transport and banking cards are installed, although there
are also conductors.
In minibuses, the price depends on the
distance, travel around the city costs 35-45 ₽, most often 38 ₽. Payment
to the driver, immediately at the entrance.
The Samara metro
travelers may seem like a courier: it covers only a small part of the
city, mainly far from tourist attractions, and is not connected with any
station, and in the city center the first station (Theater) will not
appear earlier than 2024. The only line consists of 10 stations built
according to the plan of the 1980s and decorated rather sparingly: say,
“Moskovskaya” is notable for the fact that the episodes of the metro
film were shot in it, for which no changes had to be made to the
interior. However, if you love minimalism, you will find your charm in
the architecture of the Samara metro. The newest station is Alabinskaya,
and it is the closest to the center. From the "Alabinsky" line, the line
first goes parallel to the Volga, but then it turns to the east, where
it enters the area of Bezymyanka and ends with the endless Samara
industrial zone near the Yungorodka.
Taxi: Yandex GO, Uber and
Citybula work in Samara. There is a local Samara taxi with a fixed
tariff for a kilometer and its own mobile application, as well as other
local taxis. A trip in such taxis within the center and the old city
should cost within 250 ₽ during the day and from 350 ₽ in the morning
and in the evening and in bad weather. Bombils did not die out in
Samara, although they are becoming less and less, and their services are
many times higher (an average of 500 ₽) than network taxis.
Water
transport: several suburban flights from the river station, current
schedules are on the unofficial website of Samara transport. There are
also one and a half hour walking flights to “just ride” on the motor
ship “Moscow”, 3-4 times a day. Prices from 330 to 400 ₽, children's
ticket from 200 to 250 ₽. If time permits, then it is worth it - a
beautiful panorama of the city opens from the water. Courts go from May
to October. Also, residents of the city love to ride the Volga, mainly
on the beaches. Private traders are transported on boats and
motorcycles, which should be sought on the marinas “Ulyanovsk Descent”
(at the Zhigulevsky brewery), “Osipenko” (Osipenko St.), “October
descent” (Lieutenant Schmidt St.) and “Barboshin Polyana” (Ninth Glenda)
. If desired, you can find even a small yacht for a walk along the Volga
or along the Samara River.
Old Samara
In Russia, there are not many places
where, along with individual buildings, the environment of the old pre
-revolutionary city has been preserved - low -rise quarters, courtyards,
nooks. In Samara, all this is: wooden carving, an all -pervasive modern,
and even rare monuments of the Soviet avant -garde do not violate the
harmony of the old city here. In the north, he begins in the area of Lev
Tolstoy Street, from where the stone development continues along the
main streets - Frunze and Kuibyshev, but the further you go south and
the more you move to the east, the more wooden houses and fewer stone.
The quarters adjacent to the Samara River and the Railway, mostly wooden
and rather slum, here and even wastelands in the place of the burned
out, although in this non -paramed old center there is its charm and its
own charm.
1 bread area. Samara’s most noisy area, and now a
quiet, forgotten corner in the backyard of the old center, where you
can’t even really buy bread, although large elevators still stand (and
act) along the river bank. The one that is yellow is built before the
revolution (1914-1916) in the style of rational modern-the best view of
this colossus opens from the Samara bridge. On the other side of the
building area is more chamber: it is a bread exchange in the spirit of
neoclassicism (1898) is now a hospital, and a beautiful fire Kalancha
standing next to it is a reconstruction of pre -revolutionary. The
building near Kalanchi still belongs to firefighters, now it contains an
interesting museum of the fire service, where they are allowed only with
a tour (according to preliminary applications from 10 people, +7 (846)
333-35-00). If you still manage to get inside, the reward will be a
climb with a good observation deck.
2 Samara fortress, intersection
of ul. Vodnikov and st. Kutyakova. The old wooden fortress stood
somewhere near the confluence of Samara and the Volga, but otherwise
little is known about it, and even archaeologists still argue about the
exact location of this fortress. In 1986, students of the construction
university recreated one of the fortress towers, in 2014 it burned down
and was built again, and now there are even two towers here: one really
tower, the second decorative and inscribed in the fence of the valves
factory as a monument with the symbolic name “The reference point ".
3 Revolution Square. Round Square in the historical center of the city,
at the intersection of Ventsek and Kuibyshev streets. In the center is a
monument to Lenin. The disproportion of the monument and the pedestal is
explained by the fact that Lenin stands on the pedestal left from the
monument to Alexander II.
4 Leningradskaya street (pedestrian site:
from Galaktionovskaya to Kuibyshev). The pedestrian street of the Samara
center is neat and modern: shops, flower beds, lanterns, fountains make
up a striking contrast with sloppy, but cozy nobles in the neighborhood.
Be careful, crossing Frunze Street: there is a tram and drives vehicles.
5 Lutheran Kirkh, st. Kuibysheva, 115-117 (angle of Nekrasovskaya St.).
The current Lutheran temple of St. George (1854-1867). There is a small
organ, sometimes concerts take place.
6 Fakhwerk house, st. Frunze,
75a (in the yard). Local local historians believe that in their city
this elegant house looks like “David Bowie on Red Square in 1973”, and
still argue from where he came from in an inconspicuous Samara court.
According to legend, the house was built at the very end of the 19th
century for Osip Hirschfeld-a jury from under Rivne, who studied at St.
Petersburg University and exiled from there to Samara. True, in this
story, except for the fact of the link and communication of Hirschfeld
with the same Lenin from the University (also, by the way, by a lawyer
by education), and Hirschfeld himself had no more relation to Germany,
where Ilyich was widespread. Most likely, Fahverk came to Samara from
the Volga Germans and only here is now preserved.
7 Samara Historical
Mosque, st. Alexei Tolstoy, 61 (near the Square of the Revolution and
the River Station). In 2022, restoration ends in the historical mosque -
now the building is clearly visible from ul. Ventsek, thanks to a
shining crescent on a minaret. Inside the museum "Life and life of
Samara Muslims in the 19th-19th centuries" and a spiritual library with
a reading room.
8 Choral synagogue, st. Sadovaya, 49. A grandiose
building in the Moorish style (1908) is one of the largest synagogues in
Russia. In Soviet times, the building occupied the bakery, then in 1994
the synagogue was returned to the Jewish community, but in such a state
that the restoration is far from the end even now. Outside, the
synagogue looks very representative, although, coming closer, you will
see that, in fact, one “shell” remained from the building, and there are
not even windows in it.
9 Pokrovsky Cathedral, st. Leninskaya, 75a
(intersection from Nekrasovskaya St.). One of the few Orthodox churches
of Samara, who survived Soviet times and always acted. Built in
1857-1861. Architecture in the style of Moscow temple architecture of
the XVII century.
10 brave soldier Schweik, the corner of
Nekrasovskaya and Kuibyshev streets. The bronze Schweik sits on a barrel
of gunpowder and smokes a pipe carelessly, and a small bronze dog sits
next to it. Of all sculptures established in recent years in Samara and
dedicated to cinema and literary heroes, this is the most spiritual.
Also, in this part of Samara, do not miss Klodt’s mansion and the
Philharmonic building.
11 Stalin Bunker, st. Frunze, 167 (next to the drama
theater and the monument to Chapaev). ☎ +7 (846) 333-35-71. 500 ₽. The
bunker in which Stalin has never been, for some reason is incredibly
popular among tourists. It is located under the residential building
along Frunze Street, you can only get inside with a group tour. Order a
tour in advance.
12 church, st. Frunze, 157. The beautiful building
of pseudo -Gothic architecture has become almost the most photographed
in Samara. The current Catholic Church of the Blessed Heart of Jesus.
The interior is modest, but excellent acoustics, organ concerts are held
here on weekends (announcements are placed in the VKontakte group).
13 Monument to Chapaev, pl. Chapaeva. Monumental equestrian monument to
Matvey Manizer (1932). Vasily Ivanovich calls someone in battle in a
very theatrical manner, which is fully consistent with this place: the
monument is erected before the drama theater, deserving, by the way,
special attention as one of the most beautiful pre-revolutionary
buildings of Samara. Behind the theater, the Pushkin Square is broken
with a monument in honor of the great Russian poet and a beautiful view
of the Volga. In the same square there is a sculpture “Lady with a
racket” in honor of the Century of Samara tennis. Near the Strukovsky
garden and Zhigulevsky brewery.
14 Kuibyshev Square. One of the
largest areas of Europe (17.4 hectares) on four sides is surrounded by
squares. Closer to Galaktionovskaya Street is the Opera and Ballet
Theater, next to which the monument is located Valerian Kuibyshev (1938,
also the work of the manizer), whose name the city bore more than half
of the last century. On this square, various mass events are often held
on official and unofficial holidays, shows, fairs, at any time of the
year.
15 Square Aksakova, angle of st. Frunze and Krasnoarmeyskaya
(opposite the Museum of Art Nouveau). A square is now broken on the site
of the Aksakov’s house. Among the flower beds and fountains, three dozen
large glass panels with the text and illustrations of the fairy tale
"The Scarlet Flower" are placed. Also in the square there is a monument
to three Aksakov immediately: Sergey Timofeevich - the author of the
fairy tale, Grigory Sergeyevich - the Samara governor, and Olga
Sergeyevna - the daughter of the writer. It is convenient to take
pictures on this monument, and next to it there is a “window in the
ground”, where you can see an archaeological find - a brickwork, part of
the Aksakov house.
The promenade is one of the most beautiful places in Samara.
According to residents and guests of the city, this is the best
embankment in Russia, and certainly the longest (more than 5 km). Long
sandy beaches, which gave Samara the unofficial title of the Volga
resort, give her a highlight. From the end of May to the beginning of
September on the embankment, especially a lot of people: both bathing
and sunbathing, and simply walking. The embankment begins in the area of
the 6th pier of the River Station and stretches along Maxim Gorky Street
to the famous Zhigulevsky brewery, the Samara residents call this
section “Old Embankment”. There you will meet the bronze “burglars on
the Volga” and “Red Army Sukhov”. After the brewery and the State
Enterprise, the embankment continues along the Volzhsky Avenue from the
PSK Air Force basin to the Kinap entertaining center (this is a “new
embankment”) and even further along Lesnaya Street to the rook, where it
rises with beautiful terraces.
There are bike paths on the
embankment, and in winter a rink is poured in some areas; There are
sports grounds, football and basketball venues, volleyball sites
(including right on the sandy beach), playgrounds with swings and
carousels. There are benches to relax in the shade and to admire the
view of the Volga and the other shore of the Volga (especially beautiful
sunsets). There is a color music fountain near the Central Construction
Party basin (the backlight works in the evenings), by the way, from
there a good view of the slope from the Square of Glory.
16
Sculpture “Burlaki on the Volga” (on the Leningrad descent). The
sculptural composition based on Repin’s picture of the same name, but
for some reason, the barlaks go downstream of the river and lost
somewhere a barge. But this composition is perfect for a selfie.
17
Zhigulevsky brewery, Volzhsky pr. 4. A monument of industrial
architecture and the birthplace of the famous Zhiguli beer, which was
called Vienna until the mid-1930s, since the Austrian Alfred von Vakano
built the plant in Samara from under the Ternopol. The old buildings,
standing on the banks of the Volga and decorated in the spirit of brick
eclecticism, became an integral part of the Samara landscape and an
equally important tourist object of the city. You can join the famous
beer in different ways: by visiting the People’s Bar “at the bottom”,
having dinner in the pathos restaurant “by Vakano”, or having signed up
for one of the watch excursions that are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays
(only for adults, 1000 ₽ with a tasting) . On excursions they show a
modern technological process, talk about the traditions of Samara
brewing, and at the end they conduct a tasting. At the same time, you
can better consider the old buildings, during the construction of which
the limestone from the Zhigulev Mountains was used with might and main,
so the beer here, of course, is the present “Zhigulevskoye”.
18
Iversky Convent. The monastery symbolically adjacent to the brewery. The
female monastery was founded in 1860, and almost peers that came to the
plant, and were built in the same style of eclecticism. However, they
are not striking here, but a tall 65-meter bell tower, restored in
2008-14. In accordance with the original (and typical) project of
authorship K.A. Tone.
19 Samara GRES, Volzhsky pr. 8. A monument of
the heating battery was erected on the wall of the Samara GRES. The
bronze composition of the sculptor Nikolai Kuklev depicts a cat, which
does not live on the windowsill over the heating battery. The prototype
of the composition was the oldest heating radiators in the city, which
at the beginning of the 20th century were installed in the building of
the Samara Art Museum. And in the wall of the Samara GRES there is a
small window, looking into which, you can see amazing things.
20
Square of Glory. Behind such a pathos name, a large-scale memorial is
usually hidden to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, but in the rear
Samara everything is different. An ordinary monument to the
soldiers-soldiers stands here in the corner, and the Monument of Glory
(1971) dominates in the square in honor of the workers of the air-hide
industry-the figure of a person with wings in their hands, known among
the people only “Panikovsky with Gusem”.
21 Monument to Vysotsky,
Molodogvardeiskaya St. 222 (in the quarter from the embankment and
Square of Glory). Vysotsky in the Roman toga and the image of Gamlet is
a strong artistic solution in itself, which in the background is
accompanied by no less expressive images: Madame Death, Marina Vladi, a
bird alkonost and a prison warden turned back. The monument was erected
in 2008; This is the work of Mikhail Shemyakin, who knew the poet
personally, and, perhaps, the best monument to Vysotsky in the country.
22 Monument to the governor Zasekin, field descent. The equestrian
sculpture of the founder of the city and the first Samara governor was
established in 2014.
23 stele "Rook". The monument of Soviet
monumentalism, erected in 1986 to the 400th anniversary of Samara,
symbolizes the ancient Russian boat, whose passengers sailed along the
Volga and did not know that once opposite the Zhigulevsky mountains, a
millionth city will grow. Due to the location on the Volga “facade”, the
stele immediately became one of Samara’s business cards, although in its
artistic advantages it did not go far from the Monument of Glory, which
is also considered a symbol of the city.
24 Komsomolskaya Square (in front of the railway station). The Capropmandic Samara Station is opposed by the giant and more pleasant to the eye building of the Samaro-Zlatoust railway control building. Built in the mid-1920s, it is contrary to the new Soviet style, replete with vases, bas-reliefs and other features of the late modern, which lingered in Samara longer than anywhere else. The square in front of the building was turned into a giant parking, hiding two monuments. The first is Yuri Detochkin (2012) in honor of the filmmaker Eldar Ryazanov, who was born in Samara, and the second is the Swan Sinoisa. The locomotive stands in a glazed frame and in the daytime looks like a kiosk, but in the dark the backlight turns on and the idea of railway workers is visible: they have retained the historical “filling” of the locomotive - one side part of the case was removed and the mechanisms that bring the steam locomotive into effect, which drive the steam locomotive. So to complete the picture, go around the monument from all sides.
25 missile "Soyuz" (Museum "Samara Space"), Lenin Ave. 21 (Samara

floor of which aircraft actually show (including photographs of the
Soviet era), food of astronauts and the like. Two other floors of the
museum are given to exhibitions with names like “Waiting for Cosmos” or
“Cosmos and Immortality”, and next to the square there is an orange foam
cosmopups, depicting an astronaut in a spacesuit.

Boulevard of Chelyuskintsev Street and go to the Oktyabrskaya embankment

26 Dacha Golovkin (house with
elephants), st. Soviet Army, 292 (bus 35, minibus 89 to the NFS stop).
The building is built in that variety of modern style, which is closer
to the Vienna Secession. The owner himself designed the cottage - the
merchant and artist Konstantin Golovkin. The people are more known as a
“house with elephants” for two sculptures, clearly visible from the
Volga. In Soviet times, the mansion stood abandoned, and now it is at
restoration and closed to visitors until 2024.
27 Sculpture "At the
Elephant", next to the ring of ul. Aurora and the Moscow highway
(opposite the Central Bus Station and the Botanical Garden). The modern
sculptural composition in the style of modern bronze figures: elephant,
phone, crocodile, monkey, gazelle - according to the characters of the
famous poem of Chukovsky.
28 Monument to the Il-2 aircraft, the intersection of Kirov Ave. and
the Moscow highway. The monument is perfectly visible when entering
Samara from the M5 highway. This is a real aircraft launched by aviation
plant No. 18; During the Great Patriotic War, he participated in
hostilities, was shot down in the Murmansk region and after the war was
found in a swamp. The plane stands on the pedestal and is oriented as if
the Moscow highway for him is a take -off strip. In the evening, the
aircraft is highlighted. If you see flowers at the foot, it means that
in Samara again the season of weddings and the newlyweds came to be
photographed against the background of a historical aircraft.
29
Cathedral Mosque, st. Stain-Zagora, 54 (angle of the XXII Party
Construction). The main mosque of Samara. Original building in the Tatar

1 Museum of Local Lore named after Alabina, st. Leninskaya, 142.
10:00 - 18:00 Besides Mon; On Thursdays: 13:00 - 21:00. 100 ₽. The
gloomy concrete building of the late 1980s was intended for the Samara
branch of the museum V.I. Lenin, who, in the order of decommunization,
was leaked with the regional local history, named after Peter Alabin,
the pre -revolutionary mayor of Samara. Now the exposition takes only
half a story of this huge building, and there are still a lot of
communist heritage: from a giant mosaic in the lobby to an unusual
monument on the square (Vallyazhny Ilyich, against the background of a
window and book shelves, it seems not to a leader, but an artist or
musician). Along with the inevitable Leninian in the museum, a pretty
and modern exposition. Mixing history, nature, minerals, a curious
ethnographic collection (for some reason about the Mordovian family) and
not quite the usual presentation of military history: the whole hall is
dedicated to the period of the First World War, which is a rarity for
Russia, and in the second of World War II, Samara episodes like the
evacuation of government prevail over common for local history museums
by the glorification of local heroes.
2 Museum of Art Nouveau

18:00 Besides Mon; On Thursdays: 13:00 - 21:00. Main exposition: 80 ₽.
The beautiful modern mansion of 1903 is interesting in the fact that not
only carefully restored from the outside, but also completely recreated
from the inside: though only a few rooms, and the rest are simpler and
given to temporary exhibitions. In the museum you can buy a “Samara
modern map” with a set of stylized cards - in memory of the city, and
when buying this set to the museum should be allowed for free.

4
Children's Picture Gallery (Klodt House), st. Kuibysheva, 139. 9:00 -
18:00. 150 ₽. This is not a collection of children's drawings, but a
selection of a real, “adult” art that helps to form an aesthetic feeling
among the younger generation: according to the creators, their museum is
“designed for a child-artist and child-artist”. Mostly exhibitions and
master classes, a good place for family leisure. The gallery occupies a
nice, as if a mansion (1898) with a well -preserved interior.
5 House
Museum of the Ulyanov family, st. Leninskaya, 131-135 (near local
history). Mon -SB 9:00 - 17:00. 100 ₽. The two -story house, where on

Frunze, 155 (next to the church). 10:00 - 18:00, on Thursdays: 12:00 -
20:00. 150 ₽. According to the strange irony of fate, the Samara house
A.N. Tolstoy is officially listed as a museum to them. Gorky. It is
mainly interesting in that it occupies the recreated wooden estate
(1881-82), which at that time the entire center of Samara was built up.
The estate, consisting of two residential buildings and outbuildings,
belonged to Tolstoy's stepfather, but the family lived in only one of
the apartments, and the rest were leased. Gorky has nothing to do with
it at all, and in order to somehow justify his name, the museum created
a separate site Gorky Center (113 Kuibysheva St.)-“Place for Free
Statement” in full accordance with the covenants of the father of
proletarian literature.
8 Museum of the History of Savings, st.
Kuibysheva, 93 W - PT 10:00 - 18:00. Free, excursion for money. Coins,

10 Strukovsky garden, between the street. Maxim Gorky and Kuibyshev
(in the historical part of the city). The oldest park of Samara was
defeated in the middle of the 19th century, and in recent times he
gathered a lot of unusual sculpture on its territory. If the young Gorky
monument here is little surprised here (it was in Samara that the
proletarian writer began his literary career), then the monument to
Valsi “on the hills of Manchuria” is almost the only monument to the
musical work in Russia; It is connected with the fact that in 1908 it
was in this park that the waltz was performed for the first time. The
most small, but at the same time the most important monument of the park
remains the Samara Goat. The goat is depicted on the coat of arms of
Samara, because at that time the “designers” sitting in St. Petersburg
did not delve into details and painted the coats of arms based on
statistical information, where there was something about goats. Other
Samara residents say, however, that a noble saigak was supposed on the
coat of arms, which turned into a goat at someone's oversight or
ignorance.
11 Botanical Garden, Moskovskoye Shosse, 36 (next to the
bus station, stop “Aerospace University”). ☎ Mon -Ft 10:00 - 18:00, Wed:
from 14:00. Park: Free, greenhouse: 100 ₽. The university botanical
garden does not please visitors too much: on weekends it is generally
closed, and in order to get into the greenhouse, you will have to adapt
to single “sessions” (usually in the middle of the day) or order a tour.
However, the territory is very comfortable and quiet.
12 Zagorodnaya
park (CPPKIO named after Gorky), st. Novo-Sadovaya (buses and trams
along Novo-Sadova Street to the Central Park stop). In summer and
winter, this park is not empty. In summer, children are attracted by
attractions, including the “Ferris wheel”, from which an excellent view
of the city and the Volga opens. Many attractions have been standing
since Soviet times and look terrible, but still work. There is a rope
park different with routes for babies and adults. You can also go down
to the beach, although it is not the best in the city. The territory of
the park is more than 40 hectares and is stretched by a wide strip
descending towards the Volga, but you will have to go back to the hill -
calculate the strength. The park is called “suburban”, since it used to
be located behind the outskirts of Samara, but today the official name
“Central Park of Culture and Rest” is more suitable for it.
13
Gagarin Park, industrial district. Large (34 hectares) Green Park in the
square of Streets of Street-Zagora, Soviet Army, XXII Party Construction
and Moscow Highway. There are children's attractions in the park (they
work from the beginning of May to the end of September), the stadium, in
the winter - a rink. Artificial channel (in the summer there is a rental
of water bicycles). Summer cafes and year -round restaurant. Paths for
leisurely walks. You can feed red protein or take a picture against the
background of the "centuries -old oak". Ferris wheel with a view of a
high -rise building.
14 Samara Zoo, st. Novo-Sadovaya, 146 (in
walking distance from the shopping center Megasiti and the country park,
behind the Armenian Church). 300 ₽, a separate fee is taken for
photography. An ordinary provincial old zoo with a good collection of
fauna, including African lions and Amur tigers. From all sides is
surrounded by a thick green zone.
Officially, the beach season opens on June 15, but in fact in Samara
they bathe from late May to the end of August. In August, the water
begins to "bloom", especially if the summer was warm.
City
beaches are free and equipped with changing cabins and benches. Some
beaches have sports grounds, grids for beach volleyball. There are no
rolls and umbrellas.
Please do not swim for buoys! Remember that
the Volga is a shipping river with a very intense movement! Black balls
on the beach mean a ban on swimming.
The water level in the Volga
in the Samara region depends on the Zhigulevsky hydroelectric power
station and may change within a day. If you arrived by car, do not park
it directly at the water edge. Of course, the greatest fluctuations in
the Volga level are in the spring, during the flood period, but in the
summer they happen.
City beach, st. Maxim Gorky (north of the
river station). The closest to the center of the city beach. There is a
beach on the opposite bank of the Volga (or rather on the island), where
you can get from the river station with a boat on a priest.
A few
more beaches are located above throughout the city. The beaches under
the suburban park, the NFS, and on the eighth and ninth clearings are
equipped worse. You can go to the beach of the 7th clearing only for
money through the Volga sanatorium (owned by the Ministry of Defense).
On the beach of the NFS (Soviet Army St.), water is colder due to
discharges from the station. During their work, the boats of rescuers
are on duty near official beaches.
Citizens also actively use a
coastal strip on the right bank of the Volga and on the islands for
rest. There are no official “water taxis”, but each crossing in the
season always has boaters who are ready to deliver you to the place of
rest for a reasonable fee. Do not forget to take a phone number from
them, if you want to get back, do not swim. You can also use the
suburban flights of motor ships.
The ski complex “Krasnaya Glinka Swalge” (north of the city: 310
minibus from the provincial market, from the railway station buses 1 and
50, drive for more than an hour; buses 78 and 79 from the Barboshin
Polyana stop). Skipass: 1200 ₽ (weekdays), 2000 ₽ (weekend); There are
discounts. With the exception of the high Volga coast, Samara - the city
is quite flat, but already on its northern border there is the proximity
of the Zhigulevsky mountains. The array on the left bank of the Volga -
the so -called falcon mountains - is low, and therefore is great for
beginner skiers and snowboarders. Season from December to early March.
Alternative to Red Glinka - the Slop complex further from the city and
closer to the airport. If you do not want to go anywhere, then you can
ride in a suburban park, but there the slope on the very shore of the
Volga is poorly equipped: be careful.

a very non -trivial structure, marked by art critics as a "grandiose
monument of the late" pylon style "to which brutal classics are added."
A strong troupe, plus the tour of really interesting performers. The
theater, where the audience walks in the intermission, to “show people
and show themselves,” but they are also allowed in jeans. The repertoire

Department is stylized under the era of the Russian Empire, with
beautiful interiors and details. On the second floor, a free mail museum
with rather interesting exhibits, including interactive ones. The
building itself is the former house of the merchant Ivanov (1902).
The crime rate in Samara is low, although there are dysfunctional
areas (metallurgist, 15th microdistrict, gear, mechanical stump), where
you should not go in the dark-however, even in the afternoon most of
them are not the slightest interest. In public transport, pickpockets
are not uncommon.
Also, a certain threat can be posed by drunk and
aggressive football fans of the local Club of Soviets. Before and after
home matches of this club, they walk around the city with club
attributes, hunting for those who have the attributes are different:
fans of the “wings” especially dislike the fans of the St. Petersburg
Zenit and the Kazan Rubin, and vice versa are friends with the fans of
the Moscow “Spartak ", Volgograd" Rotor "and" Nizhny Novgorod "from the
city of the same name.
In some areas of the city and especially in
the historical center there are stray dogs. They can bite much more
painfully than mosquitoes. On the streets, dogs behave decently, but in
the yards they feel at home. Be careful.
The environmental situation
is generally acceptable. The most dysfunctional in this regard, the
Kuibyshevsky district, where the oil refinery burns production waste on
open fire, and the Zavodskoye Shosse district, where large factories are
concentrated (along the banks of the Samara River). In the Kirov and
industrial areas, a sweet smell of pathos can be felt. Do not be scared,
he comes from a chocolate factory.
Raw water from the Volga,
Samara, juice and other rivers and ponds is not recommended to drink.
After filtration and boiling, you can, but you should not do it. Water
from the city water supply can be safely drunk, but in taste it leaves
much to be desired, and in the Kuibyshevsky district a separate water
intake, so the water is worse than in the rest of the city. Drinking
water of a local roser: “Crystal”, “Rodnik”, “Bonakva”, “Rameno”,
“Palace”. Mineral water of local production: “Krasnoglinskaya” (tasted
ordinary mineral water), “Borskaya” (very salty).
The right bank of the Volga
Samara Luka National Park
Zhigulevsky reserve
The village of Shiryaevo is known by the fact
that here the great Russian artist Ilya Repin painted the painting

in an old Russian hut, where Repin was lodging. There is also a
house-museum of the poet of the Silver Age Alexander Shiryaevts (who
took the pseudonym in honor of his native village). Once every two years
in Shiryaevo, the Biennale of contemporary art (usually in August) is
held in Shiryaevo. A delicious cherry grows in Shiryaev. You can go to
Shiryaevo with a regular boat from the river station (two hours on the
road) or from the barboshin Polyan pier.
The village of Rozhdestveno
- it is easy to cross the boat from the Samara river station there or by
ferry from the Ulyanovsk descent ("bottom"). Rozhdestino is a great
start for a cycle -march on Samara Luke.

surrounding the quarry from the south. This mountain itself is a hill
covered with thick, but passable forest. This is part of the falcon
mountains, which, in turn, the continuation of the Zhigulevsky.

Soksky adits (entrance on the north side of the Soksky quarry). An
interesting object for diggers and speleologists is a complex labyrinth

workings (adit and straps) developed by the hands of prisoners for the
purpose of limestone extraction. It is considered the second in length
and complexity by the labyrinth in Russia. The public entrance there is
only one (ask the locals), and this entrance is similar to the opening
of the cave. Keep in mind that inside the adit is cool, dark and damp
(you need a lantern). Try not to go too far so as not to get lost
(inside the adit is a bunch of warnings about it). Some areas are fenced
with a ribbon and are considered landscaped. There is a card with notes
in the adit itself and a magazine attending, but it is worth downloading
it yourself for a smartphone card, since there is a real and dangerous
labyrinth. It is best to visit this place with the conductor. These
adits were abandoned in 1961. The entrance is free, but the inscriptions
inside Stolen are strongly asking you to leave this place as soon as
possible, which, however, does not bother tourists who climb here in
many.
4 Caves of the Brothers Greva and Mount Barsuk, the coastal
section of Sokoli Mountains. Opened in 1904 by the sons of the Samara
pharmacist Greve. It has two public, large and high halls, as well as
one inaccessible hall with a length of more than 500 meters, where only
the channologists can get. A huge entrance to the cave is located at an
altitude of several meters (you need to climb along the rocks) on the
banks of the Volga, between Koptev and Juad ravines. To the south of the
cave the peak of Mount Barsuk, from where a beautiful view of the Volga
and the opposite shore opens. Mount Barsuk is part of the falcon
mountains covered with forest, but with paths.
5 island green,
opposite the helicopter (observation) site. The most famous island in
the Samara area, a popular summer vacation. Always very clean sandy
beaches and transparent water, there are no cars, it is unlikely, and
all because you can get here only on boats and boats (200-400 ₽ per
person). In the spring and autumn, part of the island is covered with
water.
The village of Tsarevshchina (officially called the
Volzhsky village, from Samara along the left bank of the Volga after
Krasnaya Glinka, immediately behind the bridge over the juice) and
Tsarev Kurgan - a high hill from which a panoramic look at the
surroundings, the merger of juice and Volga, Zhigulevsky mountains, etc.
. A cross is installed on the top of the hill. It is also convenient to
visit these places on the road from Kurumoch Airport to Samara, if you
do not go to the M5 highway, but by signs to Volzhsky. At the foot of
the mound, from the side of the Kurumka river, the springs are beaten,
one of which is considered a “saint” and is called the “unconnected
bowl”, on holidays, attracts many Orthodox pilgrims.
The
Mastryukovsky lakes are known as the venue for music festivals
(Grushinsky, platforms, metaphest and others), but in that area there
are also camp sites.
Fedor's meadows
The ski complex "Slope",
p. Malaya Princess, st. Ryabinovaya, 6 (on the right bank of the Sok
River). Wednesday-Washing 10.00-21.00. Lift: on weekdays from 300 to
400, on weekends from 350 to 700 rubles. A small slope on the banks of
the Soka River near Red Glinka. There is a Snowwobing highway
(“cheesecakes”), rental, storage room. It is not easy to get by public
transport, and a taxi is expensive, but the air is much cleaner than in
the city.
The city was founded in 1586 as a fortress at the confluence of the Samara break, a wide branch of the Samara River, into the Volga. At first, it was mentioned in charters as Samara town, Samara city, from the beginning of the 17th century, the name Samara city was used. In 1935 it was renamed Kuibyshev in memory of the Soviet party and statesman V.V. Kuibyshev, in 1991 the name Samara was returned to the city.
The toponym "Samarkha" (Samara) is present in the medieval
Western European cartographic tradition. One of the first known
references to this Scythian toponym can be considered the
"Chronicle" (lat. Chronicon, 1130/1131-1135) by Hugh of
Saint-Victor. A 13th-century Ebstorf map legend notes that the city
"Samarkha 〈…〉 in Scythia 〈…〉 is under the joint rule of [two] kings:
one of them is a pagan and the other is a Christian." At the same
time, Scythia, as another legend of this map testifies, "extends
from the extreme east to the Ocean, and in the South to the Caucasus
Mountains."
If we take into account the gap between fixing
this or that state of affairs and putting information on the map,
and this process takes an average of 30-50 years, then we can talk
about the existence of the city as early as the end of the 11th
century. And if we assume that the “Chronicle” of Hugh of Saint
Victor was also based on a graphic protograph, then we will approach
the middle of the 11th century, when Khazaria still existed. That
is, on the Ebstorf map of the world and on the Verchel tabula, as
well as on their protographs of the first half of the 12th century,
which have not reached us, contains information from at least the
first half of the 9th century, which refers to the history of
Khazaria until the first period of Judaization of the ruling elite
in 802 /803.
Based on the foregoing, it is possible to speak
about the existence of the city of Samarcha already around 802/803.
However, such conclusions drawn as a result of historical research,
based mainly on medieval sources, need to be confirmed by
archeological data, including underwater ones.
Foundation of
the city
The city got its name from the Samara River. The
foundation of the Samara town fortress in the Samara tract took
place in 1586 by decree of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich on the banks of
the Samara River near its confluence with the Volga under the
leadership of Prince G. O. Zasekin and the archery heads of the
“comrade” (deputy governor) Elchaninov and Streshnev. The purpose of
the construction of the fortress was to protect navigation on the
Middle Volga and protect state borders from raids from the steppe.
In 1586, Samara already existed, as evidenced by the Piskarevsky
chronicler:
“In the summer of 7094, the tsar and Grand Duke
Fyodor Ioannovich put disgrace on Prince Andrei Ioannovich Shuisky
and on Pyotr Golovin, the treasurer: rightly so, or not, then God
knows. And he exiled Prince Andrei to Samara, and there he died as
necessary.
"Piskarevsky chronicler".
Prior to the
construction of a Russian fortress at the mouth of the Samara River,
the Moscow government negotiated with the Nogai Murza. In order to
resolve the issue of building a fortress peacefully, the authorities
motivated the construction solely with the aim of protecting the
Nogais "from thieves from Cossacks."
The main purpose of the
fortress was that it made it possible to control the vast territory
of the middle reaches of the Volga and the mouth of the Samara, to
conduct a systematic conquest of lands, to cover Rus' from nomadic
raids and to provide a waterway from Kazan to Astrakhan.
The
fortress was built on the territory of the modern Samara valve
factory and to the south of it. It was built from May 9 to August 6
(16), 1586. The first inhabitants were service people: boyar
children, archers, gunners and collars, who carried out guard duty,
guarding the new fortress "from thieves" and from Nogai attacks. The
fortress has not survived to this day (it burned down in the fires
of 1690 and 1703), but in 1986, in memory of the city’s four
hundredth anniversary, a log cabin was erected on the corner of
Vodnikov and Kutyakova streets, conditionally imitating one of the
towers of the Samara fortress and a fragment of a wall with a
memorial board.
County town
In the spring of 1646, the
first household census of Samara was carried out with the
settlement, the only settlement at that time - Boldyrskaya -
settlement and with the county (there is information about the early
formation of a county around the city of Samara with the estates of
local nobles, and previous censuses). Thus, the fortress of Samara
had all the rights of the city since its foundation in 1586. In
1708, under Peter I, Samara became the ninth city of the newly
created Kazan province, and in 1719 it was assigned to Astrakhan. At
that time there were 210 households in Samara.
In the
17th-18th centuries, Samara found itself at the center of two
so-called peasant uprisings. In 1670, Samara was captured by the
troops of Stepan Razin, and in 1773 Samara was the first city to go
over to the side of Emelyan Pugachev.
In the 1740s, Samara
became the center of the Orenburg expedition, which created the
cities of Orenburg and Stavropol. One of its four leaders was V. N.
Tatishchev. Between 1773 and 1780, Samara became a provincial city,
and the city of Stavropol, now Togliatti, became the county seat. In
1780, an uyezd was created (during the uyezd reform of Catherine II)
headed by Samara, which became part of the Simbirsk province. Soon,
county offices were opened in Samara: the city government, the
magistrate, the treasury, the guardianship of the nobility, the
county, zemstvo and orphan courts. In 1782, the first master plan
for the development of the city was approved.
Provincial city
On December 6 (18), 1850, Emperor Nicholas I issued a Decree to the
Governing Senate on the creation of the Samara province, the center
of which was Samara with a population of 15 thousand inhabitants. By
the end of the 19th century, the population of Samara reached 90
thousand people, and by 1916 about 150 thousand people already lived
here.
At that time, the Samara province was in first place in
the Russian Empire in terms of the amount of wheat harvested. Active
trade in colonial, manufactured and other goods was carried out in
375 shops. Bazaars were held weekly on two squares. During the year,
three major fairs were held: Cathedral (autumn), Kazan and
Vozdvizhenskaya (summer), which lasted ten days, at the fairs they
traded mainly grain, lard, wool, horses, skins, cattle, camel cloth.
In 1874, the construction of the Orenburg railway began, which
in 1877 passed through Samara. The Samara pier was recognized as one
of the best on the Volga, and every year up to a thousand ships with
various cargoes left and arrived from it.
In 1915, an
electric tram was launched.
Revolutionary period
The news
of the February coup d'état in Petrograd came to Samara on March 1
(14), 1917. A meeting of the City Council was convened to discuss
the events. At it, the acting mayor V.P. Ushakov read a telegram
from the Chairman of the State Duma M.V. various public
organizations.
The news of the overthrow of the existing
system quickly spread in the barracks, the soldiers began to join
the rallies of workers, employees, students of the city, and after
receiving Order No. 1 of the Petrograd Soviet, soldiers' committees
began to form in the military units of the Samara garrison. The
Soviet of Workers' Deputies contributed to the organization of the
Soviet of Soldiers' Deputies. On March 7 (20), 1917, their first
joint meeting took place; the overwhelming majority in the Samara
Soviet of Soldiers' Deputies at first belonged to the
Socialist-Revolutionaries and Mensheviks.
The October
Revolution of 1917 took place in the city without a single shot
being fired. V. V. Kuibyshev announced the victory of the Soviet
power from the stage of the circus-theater "Olympus" (now there is a
philharmonic in this place).
In June 1918, Soviet power in
the city was overthrown by the combined efforts of the city rebels
and the Czechoslovak corps of prisoners of war of the
Austro-Hungarian army. For 4 months, power passed to KOMUCH, a
committee of former members of the constituent assembly who sought
to restore democracy in Russia. At that moment, the Russian Republic
was created from several provinces occupied by the Czechs, Samara
became its capital.
On October 7, 1918, Soviet power was
restored when the Czechs retreated from the city and the Red Army
units under the command of Vasily Chapaev and Gai Gai entered there.
In 1928 Samara became the center of the Middle Volga region. In
1929, the region was reorganized into the Middle Volga Territory.
From January 27, 1935 to January 25, 1991, the city was called
Kuibyshev, in honor of the Soviet statesman and party leader V. V.
Kuibyshev.
During the Great Patriotic War in July-October
1941, a number of enterprises from the western regions of the
country and their personnel with families were evacuated to the city
(a significant part of the enterprises and the population were
located on Bezymyanka). Since October 15, 1941, by decree of the
State Defense Committee, the Council of People's Commissars of the
USSR, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, diplomatic missions, large
cultural institutions (for example, the Bolshoi Theater, Mosfilm)
were evacuated to the city from Moscow. On March 5, 1942, the
seventh Leningrad Symphony by D. D. Shostakovich was completed and
performed for the first time in the city. A bunker was built for
Supreme Commander Stalin. However, the Headquarters of the Supreme
Command, the State Defense Committee (the highest authority in the
country), the General Staff of the Red Army remained in Moscow. In
1941, on the day of the Great October Socialist Revolution, the 1st
Donetsk Marshal of the USSR K. E. Voroshilov held a military parade
and a military review of the Red Army units on the main square of
the city before the battle near Moscow.
The level of
industrial production increased by 1945 in comparison with 1940 by
5.5 times. During the war years, the population of the city grew by
one and a half times (from 400 to 600 thousand people).
The
city made a significant contribution to the victory over Nazi
Germany. The production of weapons and ammunition was started.
During the war years, Kuibyshev Aviation Plants No. 1 and No. 18
produced about 28 thousand Il-2 and Il-10 attack aircraft - about
80% of their total number. During the days of the defense of the
Caucasus, the city provided the army and the national economy with
fuel.
Many foreign leaders came to the city, including French
President Charles de Gaulle.
After the war, Kuibyshev became
the largest industrial and cultural center of the USSR. A powerful
potential has been created here for the aviation (and since 1958
space), machine-building, metallurgical, electrical, cable, oil
refining and light industries. From 1960 to 1991, Kuibyshev was a
city closed to foreigners.
The significance of Kuibyshev is
also evidenced by the fact that it was included in the number of 20
cities of the USSR subject to atomic bombing, according to the first
post-war plan for the war against the USSR (Plan "Totality")
developed in the USA already in 1945, and was also included in
subsequent similar plans. .
All Soviet and Russian cosmonauts
launched into space on launch vehicles of the R-7 family,
manufactured by the Samara enterprise TsSKB-Progress (including the
first cosmonaut of the planet Gagarin on April 12, 1961; after
landing in the Engels region, he was brought to Kuibyshev, here he
is rested for 2 days at the dacha of the regional committee of the
CPSU, from here he reported by telephone to the head of state N. S.
Khrushchev on the successful completion of the first manned flight
into space in the history of mankind).
In addition to the
development of industry, positive changes are taking place in the
socio-economic development of the city: housing construction is
being carried out at a high pace (complex quarterly development is
being introduced), social institutions are being developed, and new
roads are being built.
On September 14, 1967, the millionth
resident was born in Kuibyshev, who became Natalya Belova. By the
end of the 1970s, the city's population reached 1.2 million people.
In 1986, the city reaches its maximum population of 1,267,000
people.
Modern stage of development
In the 1980s and
1990s, the course of restructuring and subsequent privatization had
a strong influence on the development of the city. The tasks of
converting military production had a negative impact on the economy
of Kuibyshev, which at that time was a major military-industrial
center of the country. As a result of the conversion, many large
enterprises became bankrupt (4 gas processing plants, the
Maslennikov plant). Small-scale production of goods appeared on
their squares, places of trade and cultural institutions (clubs,
cinemas, bars, restaurants, etc.) appeared. The loss of jobs, the
slowdown in economic growth had a negative impact on the demographic
situation and the state of infrastructure.
On January 25,
1991, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR,
the historical name of Samara was returned to the city.
The
economic crisis that began in the Soviet years intensified in 1998,
at which time the enterprises of the military-industrial complex
finally collapsed, which could not reorient themselves to civilian
production. The exceptions were a few, such enterprises as TsSKB
Progress, Aviakor and others.
Since 2000, there has been an
active development of the construction segment in Samara. At the
same time, there was no general strategy for the development of the
city, which ultimately led to obvious violations in the
architectural style of the city, and also significantly worsened the
quality of infrastructure. The city is one of the country's leaders
in frozen civil construction projects - in each district of the
city, the number of unfinished or undelivered houses is measured in
dozens. At the same time, there is no policy on the part of the
regional authorities in resolving this issue.
Nevertheless,
despite the previous losses from the military-industrial complex
conversion process, the city retains its leadership position in the
region, mainly due to a number of oil and petrochemical enterprises.
In September 2016, Samara was awarded the title of "City of Labor
and Military Glory".
In 2018, Samara became one of the host
cities of the FIFA World Cup, the matches of which were held at the
Samara Arena stadium.
Samara is located opposite the Samarskaya Luka, on the left bank of
the Saratov reservoir, between the mouths of the Samara and Sok rivers.
The city has an irregular shape, indented in the north. The length in
the meridian direction is 50 km, in the latitudinal direction - 20 km.
Geographical coordinates (historical part of the city): 53°12′ north
latitude and 50°06′ east longitude. The geographical coordinates of the
center of residential Samara are 53 ° 13’19 "northern latitude, and 50 °
11'36" eastern longitude (a memorial stone was installed on Forazhny
Lane). The area of \u200b\u200bthe city is about 541 km².
Samara is in the MSK+1 time zone. The offset of the applicable time from UTC is +4:00. According to the applied time and geographic longitude, the average solar noon in Samara occurs at 12:39.
The city is located on new (Cenozoic) formations that lie on Permian
and Carboniferous rocks formed 240-300 million years ago. The
crystalline foundation of the Archean era lies at a depth of 1400-1600
m. The relief of the city is moderately hilly. The highest height is the
northern part of the city (Krasnoglinsky district), which includes
Sokoly mountains. The highest point of the area, which is part of the
administrative city limits of Samara, is Mount Tip-Tyav - 286 m above
sea level. To the south-west, along the Volga, the terrain, cut by
several ravines, gradually decreases to about Revolution Square, after
which it quickly decreases to the level of minimum heights, which is 28
m above sea level and coincides with the level of the Volga. To the
south and southeast, up to Pobedy Street, the terrain drops more
sharply, then it very slowly decreases down to the minimum heights
coinciding with the level of the Samara River (the same 28 m above sea
level).
Sandy soils predominate on the Volga side, and clay soils
on the Samara River side.
The climate is temperate continental. Summers are hot and quite
humid. Winter is moderately frosty, snowy, long. Spring and autumn are
rather short and cool. From the north to the south of the urban
district, the features of the continental arid climate are more
pronounced, which is due to the different influence of the Volga river
air flow. The difference between average monthly summer and winter
temperatures reaches 31°C, and the difference between absolute extremes
is 84°C. Precipitation maximums are reached in January and December. The
driest month is May. In winter, the south wind prevails, in spring and
summer - north, in autumn - south-west and south.
Average annual
temperature +6.1 °C;
The average annual wind speed is 3.3 m/s;
The
average annual air humidity is 74%;
The main stationary sources of air pollution are enterprises of the
construction, petrochemical, oil refining, electrical, metallurgical,
aircraft instrument-making, energy industries located throughout the
city, but most of them are concentrated in the area of the so-called
Bezymyanskaya industrial zone.
In Samara, the indicator of air
pollution with suspended solids over the territory of the city is 43%
higher than the average for Russia.
The most unfavorable area in
terms of ambient air is Kirovsky. The maximum content of hydrogen
chloride in the atmosphere is observed in Zubchaninovka. Krasnoglinsky
is the most prosperous.
There are 105 powerful industrial enterprises
in the city, emitting tens of tons of pollutants into the air every day,
many of them are located near residential areas. The main air pollutants
among industrial enterprises are KNPZ JSC, ZPON JSC, Metallist-Samara
JSC.
According to observational data, in 2011 there was an excess of
the average annual content in the atmospheric air of four substances:
formaldehyde (3 MPC); benzapyrene (1.6 MPC); hydrocarbons (1.1 MPC), the
main sources of which are motor vehicles and oil refining enterprises;
ammonia (1.8 MPC), the source of which is enterprises using ammonia as a
refrigerant, as well as the processes of decay (decomposition) of
organic substances in unauthorized landfills and in non-sewered private
sector.
On the territory of the city district there are no sites with
excess of the regulated value of potential radon hazard. During 2011,
the background radiation level did not exceed 15 μR/hour, which is below
the established critical value for the area (20–21 μR/hour).
The
area of green spaces for general use in the city as a whole is 3.5 m²
per person (including urban forests), which does not meet the standard.
Coat of arms
The current coat of arms of the city was approved by
the decision of the Samara City Duma No. 187 of November 26, 1998 (as
amended in 2011) and has the following description: green grass wild
white goat. The shield of the coat of arms is crowned with a gold
imperial crown. The shield is a rectangle whose base is 8/9 of its
height.
Flag
The flag of the city district of Samara is a
rectangular panel of three equal horizontal stripes (the top one is red,
the middle one is white and the bottom one is blue) depicting the coat
of arms of the city of Samara. On the blue stripe of the Flag, under the
Coat of Arms, is the inscription "Samara" in golden letters. The ratio
of width to length of the flag is 1:2. The coat of arms of the city of
Samara is depicted in the center of the flag. The ratio of the height
and width of the coat of arms to the width and length of the Flag is 1:2
and 1:7, respectively. The distance from the top edge of the flag to the
coat of arms is 1:7 of the flag's width. The distance from the lower
edge of the Flag to the base of the inscription refers to the width of
the flag as 1:7. The height of the capital letter is equal to the height
of the crown. The height of the lowercase letters is 1:10 of the width
of the flag. The flag was approved by the Samara City Duma on December
30, 1998.
