Ulyanovsk is located on the banks of the Volga and
is the administrative center of the Ulyanovsk region. The Volga in
this place reaches its maximum width.
The city is located on
both banks of the Volga River, which here reaches 3-11.5 kilometers,
connected by two bridges - the Imperial automobile and railway
bridge (opened in 1916) and the purely automobile Presidential
(opened in 2009). There are sometimes traffic jams on the Imperial
Bridge. Mostly freight and transit transport moves through the
Presidential Bridge. Pedestrians are strictly forbidden to cross
both bridges!
The right-bank part (area 117.3 km²) consists
of Zasviyazhsky, Leninsky and Zheleznodorozhny districts, of which
the last two are sandwiched between the Volga and the second largest
river and are located on the slopes of the Simbirsk Mountain.
Leninsky district is the central part of the city. It consists of
the historical center of Ulyanovsk and the so-called North. In the
historical center there are administrative buildings, a pedagogical
university, the main building of the agricultural university (UlSAU,
a former agricultural academy; the main buildings are located
outside the city in the Cherdaklinsky district), the Institute of
Civil Aviation (UIGA), the main hotels of the city (Venets,
Sovetskaya and Hilton Garden Inn), main museums, puppet and drama
theaters. There is also a walking area stretching from Spasskaya
Street to Novy Venets Boulevard, located near the edge of the cliff,
from which a magnificent view of the Volga opens. The north mostly
consists of a vast private sector with narrow streets. High-rise
buildings here are located mainly along major streets. There are a
technical university (UlSTU), a television center, a bus station
"Park Pobedy", a hippodrome, and Park Pobedy. The Technical
University is located directly next to the Volga cliff, which offers
an excellent view of the Presidential Bridge.
Zasviyazhsky
district (popularly called Zasviyazhye) consists of microdistricts
of multi-storey buildings built in the 1940s-1980s. It is divided
into Near (from the city center) Zasviyazhye and Far Zasviyazhye,
separated by a railway. Here are the Central Bus Station, two of the
largest shopping centers in Ulyanovsk (Aquamall and Pushkarevsky
Ring) and an extensive industrial zone on the Moscow Highway, where
the largest enterprises are UAZ and CHPP-1.
Zheleznodorozhny
district (colloquially Kindyakovka). It consists of two separate
parts: the 4th microdistrict and the village of Tuti (the complex of
Ulyanovsk State University (UlGU) and the Sviyaga embankment are
located here) in the north and Kindyakovka proper in the south,
between which there is an industrial zone with the Ulyanovsk Motor
Plant. A railway stretches across the entire district, here are the
Ulyanovsk-Tsentralny railway station and a locomotive depot, which
is why the district got its name. There is also a river station
here.
The left-bank part (area 99.8 km²) consists of one, but
the largest, Zavolzhsky district.
The Zavolzhsky region is
stretched from west to east and consists of three parts located at
some distance from each other. From west to east, these are Lower
Terrace, Upper Terrace, New City. The height of the terrain also
rises from west to east.
Lower Terrace is the oldest part of the
area. It is also the lowest, as it is located below the level of the
Kuibyshev reservoir and is protected from flooding by a dam. Here,
along with panel high-rise buildings, there are houses of the 1940s.
The area arose around the cartridge factory. There is a cargo river
port.
The Upper Terrace equally consists of microdistricts of
multi-storey buildings and the private sector. Here are the Central
City Hospital, two stations "Upper Terrace" (next to each other) -
railway and bus, the park of the 40th anniversary of the Komsomol.
The new city (or Aviabuilders district) arose in the late 1970s and
1980s in connection with the construction of a huge aviation
industrial complex. There are very wide and straight streets,
high-rise buildings located in even rows. To the south of it, behind
the green strip, there is a huge industrial zone, with the
Aviastar-SP aircraft manufacturing plant (produces Tu-204 passenger
airliners and Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft) and CHPP-3.
Each district has its own suburban zone, with settlements related to
it.

8 Ulyanovsk river port, Ulyanovsk,
Portovaya street, 25. ☎ +7 (8422) 42–98–54. 08:00-20:00. Three-storey
building. It accepts mainly transit flights of cruise ships. There are
also pleasure trips along the Volga, which are carried out by the
Simbirskaya Gavan travel company (http://simgavan.ru/), and suburban
flights to Krasny Yar, carried out by the same company
Basically, urban transport is represented by
fixed-route taxis, PATP No. 1 buses, trams and trolleybuses of
Ulyanovskelectrotrans Municipal Unitary Enterprise also run.
All
information about urban transport, including the timetable, can be found
on the Transport Portal of the city of Ulyanovsk:
http://transportulyanovska.rf. Also, the schedule of trams and
trolleybuses can be downloaded on the website of MUP
"Ulyanovskelectrotrans" http://uet73.rf.
A feature of electric
transport is that trams run only on the right-bank part of the city
(Leninsky, Zasviyazhsky and Zheleznodorozhny districts), and
trolleybuses only on the left-bank part of the city (Zavolzhsky
district, divided into the Lower Terrace, Upper Terrace and New City
microdistricts). Thus, there is no electric transport on both bridges
connecting both banks of the Volga. The most convenient ways to get from
one bank to the other and drive through the city are the fixed-route
taxi 28 (the townspeople call it the bus, because it mainly uses PAZs)
and bus 30. Currently, all routes go across the Volga River only along
the old Imperial Bridge . The only route on the new Presidential Bridge,
Peak Bus 10, was canceled in the fall of 2018 after 8 years of
operation.
Buses
Buses, except for routes No. 20, 30, 31 and
66, operate mainly on weekdays during peak hours. At the same time,
routes 30, 35 and 46 connect both banks of the Volga with each other
(the left-bank part of the city with the right-bank), and 31 and 66 the
main part of the city with remote parts, attached to the city relatively
recently.
In total, there are 10 bus routes in the city. An
important feature of this type of transport in Ulyanovsk is that buses
may not stop at all stops by default, so you need to use the signal
button to the driver.
Trams
In the right-bank part of
Ulyanovsk, there is a good tram network, which not only never decreased
in size, but in the 90s and 2000s, on the contrary, new lines were
built. Also in 2008 and 2012, new trams were purchased. In December
2017-January 2018, a large batch of former Moscow trams arrived. There
are 14 routes in total, of which routes No. 22, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15 are
constantly running, others are peak. There is also a horticultural route
No. 107, which runs along a single-track line specially built for it
(with a siding) only during the horticultural season. The most popular
routes are 22 and 4, which run throughout the Right Bank through the
City Center; as well as 6, which goes through the industrial zone on the
Moscow highway.
The longest routes are 4 (length 18 kilometers,
travel time 1 hour 4 minutes) and 22 (length 18 kilometers, travel time
1 hour 11 minutes). Both routes pass through the city center.
Trolleybuses
The trolleybus network is also well developed in its
part of the city, and not only has it never decreased in size, but in
2012 a new line was even opened along Vracha Surov Avenue. In recent
years, a lot of trolleybuses have been purchased, among which there are
quite a few semi-low-floor and low-floor ones. Some of the routes (there
are 12 in total) are peak routes. The longest routes are routes number
12 and 15.
Shuttle taxis
The most common mode of transport.
The equipment is mainly represented by GAZelle cars (with low and high
roofs, the number of the former is gradually decreasing), Gazelle-Next,
Ford Transit, Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Iveco Daily. On the rest of
the routes (PAZs, Hyundai Conty buses, minibuses, it operates in single
quantities. The longest routes are 28 (length 34 kilometers, travel time
1 hour 23 minutes), 82 (length 35 kilometers, travel time 1 hour 25
minutes) .
Both banks of the Volga are interconnected by
minibuses No. 22, 28, 72 (goes to the other side only in the mornings
and evenings, on weekends only in the morning, the rest of the time it
goes only along the Lower Terrace), 73 (goes to the other side only in

Ulyanovsk wind power plant. Under one of the versions (however, far
from the only one), the pre-revolutionary name of the city of Simbirsk
can mean the mountain of the Seven Winds. Whether this name came from,
we are unlikely to ever know, but strong winds in these places are
indeed not uncommon, so the appearance of a wind farm here, of which
there are still no more than two dozen in the whole country, is quite
understandable. The plantation of 14 windmills, already included in the
power system of the region, is located on the left bank of the Volga
near the village of Krasny Yar, but it is also clearly visible from the
right bank, so you can admire the windmills directly from Ulyanovsk.

On the eve of the Great

of 110 thousand people. There were no large industrial enterprises in
the city, the exception was the 3rd State Plant named after Volodarsky.
In addition, a little more than 10 enterprises of the light and food

people.
During the war, Ulyanovsk became a place for the
evacuation of 17 industrial enterprises from the occupied regions and
the front line. A number of industrial enterprises were evacuated from
Moscow, including ZiS, which was located on the territory of the
Metallist iron plant and gave rise to the UAZ, UMP and MRZ plants. The
KIM hosiery and knitwear factory arrived from Vitebsk, which later
became the Rus knitting factory, and the M. Gorky garment factory
arrived from Kyiv, which became the Elegant garment factory. Moscow

Instrument-Making Plant No. 149 were merged into Ulyanovsk
Instrument-Making Plant No. 280, now the plant "UKPB" Former "Cliff".

Tank School, and on July 15, 1941, the Ulyanovsk Military Infantry
School began to form in the city.
On June 25, 1941, four
hospitals began to open in the city. In 1942, a medical institute
evacuated from Voronezh began to work in Ulyanovsk, whose professors
worked in all hospitals and hospitals of the city.
From October
1941 to August 1943, the Moscow Patriarchate was evacuated in Ulyanovsk,
headed by Metropolitan Sergius, who became Patriarch on September 8,
1943.
From March 1942 to June 1944, the Volga military flotilla
was based in Ulyanovsk. In 1942, from the Sviyazhsk station to the
Ulyanovsk-3 station and further to the Syzran I station, the Volga
Rokada was built to provide the Stalingrad Front with material and human
resources.
The population of Ulyanovsk in the second half of 1941
and the beginning of 1942, due to the evacuees, doubled and amounted to
more than 200 thousand people, but, by 1945, as a result of
re-evacuation, it decreased by 50 thousand and amounted to 152 thousand
people.
In 1943, Ulyanovsk became the center of the newly formed
Ulyanovsk region.
During the war years, more than 60 thousand
Ulyanovsk residents were awarded military orders and medals for courage

During the four years of the war, from four military schools and one
military school of the city: 1st UTU, 2nd UTU, UVVIUS, UVASHP and UVPU,
about 27 thousand officers were trained according to an abbreviated
program, and the name "Forge of Officers" was rightfully assigned to the
city. personnel".
On September 19, 1946, the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR approved
the master plan of Ulyanovsk, developed by specialists from LENGIPROGOR
(Leningrad State Institute for Urban Design) architects V. A. Gaikovich
and N. V. Kashkadamova. A little later, two most important decisions for
the fate of Ulyanovsk were adopted: “On measures for the development of
the city of Ulyanovsk in 1949-50s.” and the inclusion of Ulyanovsk among
the 43 most important cities of the Soviet Union.
In the post-war
Soviet period, from a city with a pronounced agricultural and handicraft
employment of the population, it became an industrial city;
machine-building enterprises were built in it, including the defense and
aviation industries (Ulyanovskaya CHPP-1, Ulyanovsk radio-tube plant
(URLZ), and other enterprises).
In 1953, during the creation of
the Volga cascade of hydroelectric power stations, Ulyanovsk fell into
the zone of influence of the Kuibyshev reservoir. Also, the Volodarsky
Machine-Building Plant (Post Box No. 19 Plant) and the nearby
residential area, Nizhnyaya Terrasa, fell into the flood zone, however,
by decision of the USSR government, this area of \u200b\u200bthe city
was surrounded by a protective dam and was not flooded, but at the site
of the flood, near the lying villages, Paltsinsky Island was formed (now
part of the Ulyanovsk City District).
Since the 1960s, thanks to
the high rates of housing and industrial construction, Ulyanovsk has
increased both in area and in population. On the site of the former
villages adjacent to the city, modern residential quarters were built,
which formed the Zasviyazhsky and Zavolzhsky districts on May 23, 1962,
the Leninsky district was formed from the Old Town and the northern part
adjacent to it, and in 1966 - the Zheleznodorozhny district.
On
the eve of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of V.
I. Lenin, in 1969-1970, the historical center of the city was built up

Lenin Memorial, the Venets Hotel, the building school No. 1, the new
railway station Ulyanovsk-Central, the new river station, the central

excellent organization of preparations for the centenary of the birth of
Vladimir Lenin.
With the construction of the objects of the Lenin
Memorial Zone, Ulyanovsk becomes one of the main tourist centers of the
USSR, after Moscow and Leningrad. The city, unlike some other regional
centers, was not closed, but foreign guests were not allowed to deviate
from the tourist route.

the construction of the Ulyanovsk Aviation Industrial Complex began, and
a large residential area, the New City, began to be built next to it.
In 1983, a terrible tragedy occurred in Ulyanovsk - on June 5, the
motor ship "Alexander Suvorov" crashed into the railway bridge across
the Volga. More than 170 people died as a result. The accident occurred
due to the fault of the helmsman and watch navigator, who directed the
liner under the non-navigable span of the bridge.
In the 1990s, the city is going through hard times - a decline in
production in all industries, massive unemployment and impoverishment of
the population. Such city-forming enterprises as the UAPK with auxiliary
plants, the Volodarsky Mashzavod, Kometa, Elektrobytpribor, a radio lamp
