stations) several trains a day, including night ones, the journey takes

half away can also be useful - but note that there are two different
stations a few kilometers apart, and each train only stops at one of
them. If you are traveling from the east, the Rtishchevo station may be
convenient for transfers, but in any case, you will have to transfer

Contrary to the usual situation for the Russian
regional center, in Tambov Yandex does not know anything about public
transport routes and does not even show stops on the map. However,
real-time information about the movement of buses can be found on the
bus68.ru website and in the Smart Transport mobile application, but
there is no route builder.
In some places around the city there
are “smart stops” with Wi-Fi and a scoreboard with a countdown to the
arrival of buses. However, they don't always work.
It seems that any Tambov souvenirs cannot do without the image of
wolves. They are sold on the pedestrian Communal Street, parallel to it,
International Street and in large shopping centers. If you are
interested in something more practically useful, you should pay
attention to various kinds of agricultural products.

Tambov is a Mordovian word. It means a whirlpool. Researcher of
the Tambov region I.I. Dubasov says that the Tambov lands were
previously inhabited by Mordovians, which is why many villages,
hamlets and tracts received and now retain Mordovian names.
The city of Tambov arose in 1636 as a fortified point on what was
once a “wild field”. At the first time of its existence, Tambov
actually defended the southern possessions of the Moscow state from
the raids of nomads, but when the fortified line was moved further
to the south, it turned into a peaceful point. Almost a hundred and
fifty years after its founding, in 1779, the city of Tambov
resembled a large black earth village. Almost all of its houses were
thatched, and the swampy streets were lined with fascinite, pitted
with holes and crossed by weed mounds.
Academician Falk, who
visited Tambov in 1769, found that “the city is not extensive and
ugly. Residents are more engaged in agriculture than crafts,
however, there were two cloth factories there. There were up to 626
merchants."
In the same year, Tambov was made the main city
of the Tambov governorship, and 7 years later, in 1786, it received
the famous poet G.R. as ruler. Derzhavina.
In 1781, the coat
of arms of the city of Tambov was approved - a beehive and three
bees on an azure background as a symbol of hard work and on-board
farming (beekeeping), which the inhabitants of the Tambov region
have been engaged in for a long time.
The development of
Tambov began only at the beginning of the 19th century. At this time
there were 12 thousand inhabitants. In 1872, Tambov had 25 thousand
inhabitants, according to the 1897 census there were more than 48
thousand people, and on January 1, 1910 there were 68,400 people.
Now (as of 1913) Tambov is a relatively good city; it has
running water, electric lighting, several secondary educational
institutions: two men's and three women's gymnasiums, two real
schools, a teachers' institute and more than 30 other educational
institutions. It is impossible not to note another Tambov governor -
Alexander Alekseevich Kornilov (brother of the famous Russian
admiral - hero of Sevastopol. He spent five years in this position -
from February 1838 to April 1843. It was with this time that many
important changes were associated that took place in life not only
Tambov, but throughout the region.
In 1843, an institute was
opened to educate the daughters of impoverished nobles. In the first
year after Kornilov’s arrival in Tambov, the newspaper “Tambov
Provincial News” began to be published here. In 1841, a school was
transferred from neighboring Voronezh to Tambov to train clerical
workers, and a year later a provincial zemstvo hospital was built
and a building was laid for a public House of Culture.
In the
middle of the 19th century, the construction of stone buildings
began in Tambov - a guest courtyard, government offices, a men's
gymnasium and the Alexander Institute. The formation of the city
center ended at the end of the 19th century with the construction of
the Naryshkin reading room, the building of the State Duma and the
Assembly of the Nobility.
In the 19th century, Tambov was a
major center for grain wholesale trade. Industry developed slowly
and in 1913 it provided only 2% of the total industrial output of
European Russia. Before the October Revolution, the largest
enterprises in Tambov were railway workshops (800 workers) and a
candle factory (85 workers). In addition to them, there were about
30 small semi-handicraft factories.
The post-revolutionary
period can be described as a time of demolition of churches and
construction of factories, clubs, and educational institutions.
Housing construction was also carried out. Standard five- and
nine-story buildings, although they did not add beauty to the
appearance of the city, made it possible to some extent solve the
housing problem in Tambov, which had become an industrial center.
The February and October revolutions took place quite peacefully
in Tambov. In 1920-21, a peasant uprising took place under the
leadership of A.S. Antonov. In 1928, the Tambov province was
included in the Central Black Earth Region. In 1937, the Tambov
region was formed, which included the territory of the Penza and
Tambov regions, and in 1939 the Tambov region adopted almost modern
borders; The Great Patriotic War claimed the lives of thousands of
Tambov residents and was remembered for its exhausting labor, the
bombing of the city, and the opening of a large number of evacuation
hospitals.

in Staraya Kazinka, in which four volumes of Voltaire’s works,
previously unpublished in Russia, were printed. The nature of these
works was such that Catherine II ordered the printing house to be closed

publisher still managed to fulfill the promise he made in his youth: “To
my Fatherland, through my labors, to deliver useful books, if possible.”
