Good morning, dear subscribers!😊☕️

Samara – the capital of the region in Russia, a large metropolis on the Volga River. A dynamic city with its own philosophy and charm, it combines history and modern life, urban appearance and natural colour palette. Full of sights and secrets, the jewel of the Volga region leaves a lasting impression with its character, warmth, and expanses.

In the appearance of the districts, unique architecture from various eras and styles comes together. In Samara, Soviet Constructivism stands alongside Russian Terem (traditional wooden houses), futuristic space style next to romantic houses on Molodogvardeyskaya Street. The urban ensemble features villas in German, French, and Moorish styles, Art Nouveau palaces, and carved wooden cottages. Everywhere there are monuments, installations, art objects, and cozy green corners to relax.

“Samarcha” (the old name of the city) existed as early as the 9th century in the possession of the Khazars. After the founding of the Moscow state, a fortress was established in 1586 to secure the southern borders against steppe nomads and to control the waterway on the banks of the Samara River. With the expansion of the state, the citadel was transformed into a city that belonged alternately to Kazan and Astrakhan, until the Samara Governorate was confirmed.

During World War II, Kuibyshev – the name Samara was known by from 1935 to 1991 – was declared the capital of the USSR as Moscow was evacuated. The factories supplied the front with weapons, ammunition, combat equipment, and fuel. After the war, the industry developed in a military direction, and Kuibyshev was closed to foreign guests.

Now, Samara warmly welcomes everyone who wants to get to know the city and immerse themselves in its atmosphere.
