General information and history of Togliatti
Togliatti is the administrative center of the Stavropol region and one of the largest cities Samara region, located directly opposite the most picturesque Zhigulevsky mountains.
This left-bank Volga city had every chance to become a typical representative of quiet provincial "settlements", known, perhaps, to its native inhabitants. However, today Togliatti is known not only in Russia, but also abroad. There are several reasons for this.
The first is AvtoVAZ, which, despite many jokes and jokes, to this day remains one of the largest automobile factories in Russia and allows Togliatti to bear the proud name of the automobile capital.
The second is the population size (according to statistical data, Togliatti is the largest non-capital city in Russia - the so-called submillionaire city, which currently has more than 700,000 inhabitants).
The third - talented residents of Togliatti (mostly athletes), who brought the city world fame (Alexei Nemov, Vitaly Groisman, Ilya Bryzgalov, Alexander Gerunov).
And, finally, the fourth is a rich history, covered with many secrets and legends. Let's open the veil of secrecy and begin our acquaintance with the City of the Holy Cross (another unofficial name of Togliatti).
First there was a fortress erected by Vasily Tatishchev in 1737 and named Stavropol. Until the 20th century, Stavropol was a very, very modest (even by the standards of that time) settlement with 6,000 inhabitants, one hospital, two hotels and 4 windmills... Therefore, the decision to transform Stavropol into a rural settlement due to economic insolvency, taken in 1924, seems quite logical. The residents of Stavropol regained the right to be called townspeople only 22 years later - in 1946.
The city is experiencing its rebirth in the early 1950s, when the Council of Ministers of the USSR decided to build a hydroelectric complex (Zhigulevskaya HPP) on the Volga. Saving the city from being buried under the layers of the "artificial" sea, Stavropol is transferred to a new place and given new life to a dynamically developing industrial city. Volzhskaya HPP named after Lenin, electrical engineering plant, plant "Volgocemmash", whole line chemical enterprises, the Volzhsky Automobile Plant - all this is being built in a record short time attracting thousands of young people from all over the country to the “new” Volga city.
Just 20 years after the transfer to a new location, the population has increased 20 times (12,000 inhabitants in the early 1950s and 251,000 residents in 1970). Then, in the mid-1970s, it was decided to rename Stavropol to Togliatti. Apparently, the surname of the Italian communist Palmiro Togliatti seemed to the then leadership of the country more euphonious than Stavropol (translated from Greek - "city of the cross").
Ecology and climate of Togliatti
In general, the climate of Togliatti can be defined as a pronounced continental climate. This means that in summer it is hot here (on average +21), and in winter it is quite cold (again, on average, -11). The proximity of the Kuibyshev reservoir and the forests separating the districts of the city have a favorable (softening) effect on the climate.
For a long time, Togliatti residents (especially people of the older generation) determined the weather “in Moscow” (and, I must say, very successfully). For example, if a sharp cold snap was announced in Moscow today, then in 2 days it is time to get warmer clothes for the residents of the automotive capital. However, in the last 2-3 years, this pattern has been increasingly failing. And the weather both in Togliatti and throughout the Samara region, in most cases, is determined by the southern regions of our vast homeland.
The ecological situation of the city leaves much to be desired. And if earlier the main culprits here were the largest industrial enterprises, enveloping the city in a gray haze of atmospheric emissions (residents of the Central District are especially affected), today the main source of air pollution is transport (cars account for about 70% harmful substances emitted into the atmosphere). According to statistics, every third Togliatti citizen is a car owner. Along with the vital oxygen, dust, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds pass through the lungs of Togliatti residents (to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the place of residence).
Such a disastrous situation is saved by the introduction of modern treatment facilities(thanks to them, industrial pollution in the city has halved over the past 10 years), as well as vast areas of green spaces within the city and woodlands outside of it.
Population of Togliatti
By the number of people living in the city, Togliatti takes the honorable 19th place in Russia (707,408 people as of January 1, 2018). Among non-regional cities, it is in the first place.
It is especially worth noting the Avtozavodsky district of the city, which in the Volga region is the most densely populated area. More than 440 thousand people live on its territory, which is more than 50 percent of the total population of the city. For example, more than 157 people live in the Central District, and 120,000 in the Komsomolsky District.
This imbalance is caused by the fact that it is in the Avtozavodsky district that the famous all over Russia AvtoVAZ, which produces Lada cars, is located. Most of the able-bodied population of the area works at this plant.
Togliatti is a unique city. The fact is that it is the only city in the Samara province in which for recent years natural population growth is recorded. In 2013, in Togliatti, the number of joyful occasions associated with the birth of a child exceeded the number of funeral events associated with the burial of the deceased by about 1,000.
The main cause of death for Togliatti residents is diseases of the circulatory system. Over the past year, this disease accounted for 52.4% of deaths. The average age of the deceased was 70.5 years. At the age of 65, Togliatti residents most often die from malignant neoplasms (17.2%), and at 42, the most common cause of death is injury and poisoning (10%).
Of the nearly 708,000 people living in Togliatti, about 455,000 people are able to work. 113 thousand citizens have not yet reached the age to earn pocket money. The rest of the population enjoys a well-deserved right to rest after several decades of labor. More precisely, they have the right to rest in retirement, but they often continue to work even after reaching retirement age. What is there to do? After all, the size of the average pension does not inspire optimism.
As for the gender distribution, Togliatti is a classic picture, very widespread not only in Russia, but all over the world - there are more women than men. According to the latest data, almost 388 thousand of the fairer sex and 320 thousand of the stronger sex live in the city.
To date average age The Togliatti resident is 38.4 years old, which is slightly lower than this figure in the Samara region (40 years old) or in Russia (39 years old). That is why the slogan "Togliatti is the city of the young!", Which appeared a couple of years ago in local media mass media seems perfectly justified.
The next most important factor that determines the "face" of the city is the level of education of the population. Some 20 years ago, almost 85% of Togliatti residents could boast of diplomas of graduation from secondary specialized or higher educational institutions. Fortunately, at that time there was enough in the city exact amount educational institutions at various levels.
Paradoxically, despite the fact that today the number of schools has increased to 123, and there are about 20 universities, the average Togliatti citizen has become less educated. The main problem is that all universities today operate on a commercial basis, and an ordinary factory worker with a salary of 15 thousand rubles a month can hardly afford to pay 70 thousand rubles a year for the education of his child. Of course, there are budget places, but it is extremely difficult to get on them (either getting to know the right people or a 100-point Unified State Exam score will help).
Districts and real estate Togliatti
Until recently (namely, 2006), the city of Togliatti included three large districts: Avtozavodsky, Central and Komsomolsky. However, in the summer of 2006, it was decided to include a number of nearby settlements in the city. We are talking about the village of Novomatyushkino, urban-type settlements Fedorovka and Povolzhsky, as well as the village of Zagorodny.
In the spring of 2009, the structure of the administrative-geographical division of Togliatti became even "slimmer" after the above suburban settlements became part of three large districts, having received the status of micro-districts.
Despite the fact that all three areas are within reach (a trip from one to another takes from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the path chosen), each of them has its own face, its own character and peculiarities inherent only to it. To make sure of this, we suggest taking a virtual tour of the streets and back streets of each of them.
The first in our list is the Avtozavodsky district (more often referred to by the Togliatti people as "Novy Gorod", "Novik" or "Avtograd"), the administrative separation of which took place in 1972. The Avtozavodsky district includes 26 residential quarters located in the so-called "square-nesting way", i.e. all streets intersect at right angles. In terms of population, the Avtozavodsky District is the undisputed leader not only in Togliatti, but also in the entire Volga region. Today, about 442,000 inhabitants live here.
The face of the new city is the factory workers. Young people 25-35 years old who have devoted their lives to the Russian car industry and every morning at 7 am crowding at city stops waiting for factory routes. Most of them are not weighed down higher education, and therefore they prefer to spend their well-deserved weekends not in libraries, theaters and museums (of which there are about 100 in Togliatti), but in city parks of culture and recreation or in the inner-quarter alleys. The main condition for a successful evening is a comfortable shop and a couple of "baklashki" of your favorite beer.
In order to "domesticate" modern "proletarians" from time to time visit cinemas (good recent times their number in the city has grown noticeably - there are separate halls in every large shopping center). Boys and girls who are not burdened with a family are not averse to celebrating the end of the working week in a nightclub (there are 17 of them in the city), while married couples prefer a quiet family vacation in a cafe.
Almost the same age as its inhabitants, the Avtozavodsky District boasts excellent housing stock. More than 1300 1,2 and 3 room apartments in relatively new panel and brick houses waiting for their new owner. Here you can find economy-class housing on the secondary market, where the cost per square meter is about 35,000 rubles, and you can buy a completely "fresh" apartment in a new building, the square meter of which ranges from 40,000 to 50,000 rubles.
Central region (or " Old city"- by analogy with" new ") is located directly in the central part of the city (hence the name). In the west, its neighbor is the Avtozavodsky district, and in the east - Komsomolsky. Despite such a seemingly advantageous position, the Central District is significantly smaller than the Avtozavodsky District. It is home to about 158,000 people. However, it is he who is considered to be the administrative center of the city.
On the territory of the Central District there is the building of the City Hall and the Togliatti City Duma, the Togliatti Museum of Local Lore, a monument to the founder of the city V.N. Tatishchev, the city museum complex "Heritage", the memorial complex "City Creators" and many more interesting cultural and architectural monuments telling about the rich history of this Volga city.
The state of the local housing stock fully corresponds to the unofficial name of the district (Old Town). Most of the buildings here were built during the time of Stalin and Khrushchev and since then have not undergone major overhaul. However, this does not particularly affect the cost of housing. Square meter on the secondary housing market costs an average of 35,000 rubles, in a new building - 45,000 - 47,000.
If the design of the Avtozavodsky district is based on the so-called "square-nest" method, then the Central District was built in accordance with the radial planning system (in the center - the city park and the central square of the Togliatti DK, from which streets diverge to different ends of the district).
A significant part of the Central District is occupied by the private sector, in which the dilapidated rickety houses of dandelion grandmothers and luxurious comfortable cottages guarded by a pack of fighting dogs in a bizarre way coexist.
Traditionally, it is believed that the inhabitants of the "old city" are more intelligent than their neighbors from Autograd. They often visit city theaters, museums and art galleries, often visit the Philharmonic and sometimes even look into libraries (in our age of rapidly developing virtual technologies, this cultural site, unfortunately, has every chance to sink into oblivion). In general, many people have the impression that the people of the old city are more benevolent and differ from the "Novgorod" in exactly the same way as the inhabitants of the city on the Neva are from Muscovites.
A real gem of the Central District is the Portovy microdistrict (also known as Portposylok or Portgorod) - "little Switzerland". Cozyly located on the picturesque Volga bank, it is a real gem of the city and is traditionally considered one of the most prestigious places in Togliatti. Luxurious multi-storey cottages immersed in the lush greenery of the forest, a beautiful wooden church built with money from parishioners, an equestrian club and the lack of high-rise buildings give this place a special charm. A real "paradise"! However, in order to fully appreciate all the charm of living in this protected area (Portposelok, being a monument of the socialist era, claims the status of a historical and architectural reserve) will have to fork out. The cost of one hundred square meters of land for the construction of a cottage here ranges from 10,000 to 15,000 dollars.

The Komsomolsk District (or Komsa) is the smallest of the administrative districts of Togliatti (only 120,000 inhabitants). Even despite the fact that today it includes 4 microdistricts at once (the villages of Zhigulevskoe Sea and Shlyuzovoy, as well as urban-type settlements Povolzhsky and Fedorovka).
However, the spool is small - but expensive. And its value is, first of all, historical. Originally created on the basis of construction settlements, the Komsomolsk District today is an open book telling about the large-scale construction of the Volzhskaya HPP in the middle of the 20th century. On its territory there are important industrial and historical sites. The former include TogliattiAzot, AvtoVAZagregat, Togliatti river port, VAZINTERSERVICE, and also ZAO Myasokombinat Komsomolsky. The latter are represented by the St. Tikhon Church and the Annunciation Skete, erected in the middle of the 19th century.
Special attention should be paid to the Shlyuzovoy microdistrict (or rather one of its quarters, which the locals lovingly call "little Petersburg"). It seems that life here stopped many years ago. Instead of noisy highways, there are narrow streets, instead of high-rise buildings, there are low-rise Khrushchev and Stalinist buildings, and instead of supermarkets, there are good old Soviet shops with saleswomen in white caps at the counter. However, despite this idyllic picture, real estate in the Komsomolsk region is not in high demand. Having admired the wonderful buildings of Soviet classicism, most Togliatti residents happily return to their comfortable apartments in new districts.
City infrastructure
Togliatti, as a city that strives for 1 million inhabitants, has a well-functioning infrastructure. However, here it is not without problems.
The main source of headaches is the housing and communal services, which, as in the pre-reform period, continues to amaze city residents with a constant increase in tariffs and, from nowhere, the amounts indicated in receipts. Today it is probably impossible to find a person who is satisfied with the work of housing and communal services. Still fresh are the memories of the transition period, when people received two receipts for utility bills, and a few months later they were warned about prosecution for non-payment of one of the receipts.
Togliatti management companies serve 9,757 residential buildings, in which there are 219.1 thousand apartments with a total area of 14 482.7 thousand m2. 90% of this housing is privately owned. 88.2% of apartments in apartment buildings have been privatized.
Most of the buildings (5,959) are located in the Central District. There are 2,768 buildings in the Komsomolsk district. Despite the fact that the Avtozavodsky district is the largest not only in the city, but in the entire Volga region, there are “only” 891 buildings on its territory.
The vast majority of buildings in Togliatti have 1 or 2 floors (7,378). In second place are 6-, 9- and 10-storey buildings. There are 708 of them in the city. Also in Togliatti there are 656 5-storey buildings, 491 3- and 4-storey buildings, 259 12-storey and more high-rise buildings.
Togliatti did not pass by perennial problem bad roads. Every spring, city roads look like they've been carpet bombed. The pits are simply frightening in size. Considering that storm currents have not been able to cope with their task for many years, the holes hidden under the water pose a serious threat to motorists. It is difficult to say what this is connected with, but in 2012 the number of lawsuits against organizations responsible for the state increased dramatically. road bed... Interestingly, all these claims were satisfied and the injured car owners received the necessary compensation.
Of course, the roads are being repaired, but not as fast as they wear out. The municipality is trying to fight the pits with patching, but as the authorities themselves admit, this is just a temporary emergency option, helping to somehow normalize traffic on the road and wait for major repairs, including the replacement of the entire roadbed.
In addition to the pits, it is also worth noting the road markings, which are washed off every spring road surface together with melted snow.
The deplorable state of the roads, the lack of driving culture among the majority of local drivers and the constantly growing number of cars often lead to emergency situations... Since many roads in Togliatti are simply not equipped to handle a large traffic flow, one stalled car is enough to collect a traffic jam several hundred meters long. At rush hour, when people rush home after a hard day at work, such a nuisance can generally paralyze traffic on a single street.
One gets the impression that city architects, creating road junctions and intra-quarter passages, could not even imagine that in a city where tens of thousands of cars are produced annually, someday almost every family will have cars.
Residents of Togliatti, who have not yet acquired their own vehicle, move around the city by public transport... Today, there are 49 bus and 22 trolleybus routes in Togliatti. As for fixed-route taxis, it is rather difficult to calculate the exact number of their routes. Today there are about 100 of them. The bus and trolleybus fleet is constantly being updated, and Gazelles are gradually being replaced by much more comfortable minibuses of foreign production.
The city authorities of Togliatti with varying success are struggling not only with such a disaster as bad roads, but also with its eternal companions - "fools". Everyone knows that theater begins with a coat rack, and the struggle for intelligence begins with a school bench. It so happened historically that Togliatti schools are used as a platform for the implementation of various innovative ideas and testing the latest developments in the field of secondary school education.
Today in Togliatti there are about 100 general education schools, in which 66,117 people are trained. 3,639 teachers are trying to put knowledge into them. And sometimes quite successfully.
Enterprises and work in Togliatti
A few years ago, from an economic point of view, Togliatti was one of the most prosperous Russian cities. The notorious Forbes magazine, ranking the most attractive Russian cities for business, in 2008 gave Togliatti a very honorable 5th place, and called the city itself the largest economic and industrial center, which plays an important role not only in the economy of the region, but also in the country as a whole.
Unfortunately, today the situation has changed significantly. And by no means in better side... The global financial crisis has badly battered the Togliatti economy. That is why the once prosperous city with ambitious plans is now again forced to conquer the lost positions.
The city-forming enterprise of Togliatti is the Open Joint Stock Company "AVTOVAZ" - a plant specializing in the production of passenger cars "LADA". Today, more than 66,000 people work here, including about 5,000 temporary workers. A full package of social guarantees, stability, a clearly fixed working day and the opportunity to "shake" from time to time - all this makes the plant still the most attractive workplace for Togliatti residents.
Also on the territory of Togliatti there are several more large enterprises engineering industry. This is "GM-AVTOVAZ" - an automobile plant, which is the fruit of the joint work of Togliatti residents and their American colleagues, the POLAD group of companies, which is a large production holding specializing in the production of a wide range of various products (from automobile to defense), "Detalstroykonstruktsiya "," Johnson Control Togliatti "- a plant for sewing covers for cars," VazInterService "- a company that supplies components to car assembly plants in Russia and abroad, and" AvtoVAZagregat ".
List of major industrial facilities the city is continued by two combined heat and power plants - the TPP of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant and the Togliatti TPP - and an impressive group of chemical industry enterprises. The latter is represented by TogliattiAzot, the world's largest ammonia plant, KuibyshevAzot, which specializes in the production of mineral fertilizers, and Togliattikauchuk, a synthetic rubber plant.
It is also worth noting the dynamically developing food industry (the city has its own meat processing plants, milk and bakery factories, a distillery, a champagne and cognac factory, a winery), enterprises specializing in the production of electrical equipment, factories producing plastic and rubber products and other types industrial production.
The banking sector is well developed, there are many insurance companies accepting Active participation in economic life Tolyatti. Small business is doing well.
It would seem that a city with so many large industrial facilities is simply doomed to prosperity. However, over the past several years, Togliatti residents have been living in constant fear - "What is the coming day preparing for us?" After the massive layoffs during the crisis years, the myth about the stability of work "at the machine" was finally dispelled. And salaries still cannot recover from the shock and reach even the pre-crisis level.
There are lively "discussions" in the local press and at large city forums (if this definition can be applied to the dialogue between the statements of the federal authorities and ordinary people of Togliatti, of course). The reason for the indignation of the residents of Avtograd is the highly overestimated official statistics, according to which the average monthly wage in the city is about 20,000 - 21,000 rubles. This is understandable. After all, an ordinary factory worker (and there are most of them at AvtoVAZ) receives an average of 11-13 thousand rubles a month, an employee of Togliattikauchuk - about 12 thousand, teachers - 8-10 thousand rubles, managers of car dealerships and travel agencies - 12,000-15,000 rubles, and sellers, cashiers, operators and other employees of federal retail chains (of which there are a great many in the city) - no more than 15,000. It doesn't even smell like 20,000 ...
And here I must say thank you to the few, but so important for the extras, the management team, hiding, like secret agents, in the cozy offices of the VAZ "skyscraper". It is thanks to these fighters of the invisible front with official salaries of several million rubles that the standard of living of Togliatti residents "on average" looks very worthy!
Crime
Hello! We are from Togliatti.
- And what do you immediately threaten? !!
Togliatti became an unspoken criminal capital back in the dashing 90s and still has not lost this dubious fame. It was in Togliatti 20 years ago that fierce wars were fought between organized criminal groups, the victims of which, unfortunately, were not only members of various organized crime groups, but also ordinary civilians. And today, guests of the city sometimes specially come to the city cemetery to look at the so-called "alley of heroes", where crime bosses and members of their gangs are buried.
Why was Togliatti attractive to criminals of all stripes, and what caused the real massacre that took place in the city in the early 1990s? The answer is simple - it's AvtoVAZ.
It all started back in the 80s with the banal theft of auto parts, which were in short supply at that time. Of course, this is not about taking parts out in your trouser pockets or throwing boxes of spare parts over the factory fence. Kamaz trucks left the factory loaded with stolen parts. Ten years later, the organized crime groups, which had already divided the city into spheres of influence, unleashed a real war to establish control over AvtoVAZ. No one could even imagine that the city would have to endure three waves of violence associated with the struggle for criminal supremacy in Togliatti.
The bandits were well aware that a lot of money was spinning at VAZ, but for the time being the only thing they could manage was to rob buyers of cars outside the territory of the plant. This was not enough. It all started with the occupation of factory checkpoints and the Zhiguli store, the only official factory store in Togliatti.
In 1992, the bandits began to exercise control over the shipment of cars from the plant. This business turned out to be the most profitable. Using a scheme developed by Vladimir Bilichenko, nicknamed Khokhol, organized criminal groups drove out about 30 thousand cars annually. This is too tidbit for everything to go quietly and peacefully. The first conflicts began to arise between the groups.
The first great racketeering war began. It was initiated by the "Agiyevskaya" organized crime group headed by Vladimir Agiy and Alexander Voronetsky, who decided to take AvtoVAZ under their sole control. To implement their plans, they turned to the gang of Oleg Khoroshev, nicknamed "Gift", which agreed to shoot competitors for a solid reward.
The first target of the "agiyevskaya" group was the former thimblegaker Vladimir Vdovin, nicknamed "Partner", who headed the "partner's" organized criminal group. By mid-1992, Vdovin practically took over the Zhiguli store. Despite all the efforts, none of the attempts were successful. After that, the Agievskys turned their attention to the leaders of the Kupeevskaya group, Sergei and Garry Kupeevs. However, the Kupeev brothers were also too tough for them. The next target of the "agiyevskys" was Khokhol, who did not manage to survive after the assassination attempt. From that moment on, bloody showdowns between organized criminal groups began.
The first war lasted more than a year... As a result, the criminal world has lost such authoritative bandits as Vladimir Bilichenko "Khokhol", Sergei Kupeev, Alexander Maslov, Alexander Voronetsky, Vladimir Dorovskikh "Sivy". Some of the bandits are missing. Instead of Maslov, Dmitry Ruzlyaev, nicknamed "Dima Bolshoi", stood at the head of the "Volgovskaya" organized criminal group. The maximum benefit from this war was received by Vdovin, who, remaining the only representative of the "old guard", rose to the very top of the Togliatti criminal hierarchical ladder. Without his participation, not a single serious issue was resolved in the city.
As a result of the next two wars between organized crime groups, almost all authoritative bandits were either killed or imprisoned for long periods. Over 10 years of conflicts, more than 500 people have died, who were related to the criminal world. The only person who managed to go through all the showdowns and stay alive is Vladimir Vdovin, nicknamed "Partner". Today he retired and lives in one of the European countries.
Attractions Togliatti
Despite the fact that in 2012 Togliatti residents celebrated the 275th anniversary of the city, its real age is only half a century. The fact is that only one house, moved from Stavropol-on-Volga before it was flooded, has survived to this day. Therefore, it makes no sense to look for some ancient sights in Togliatti. Actually, this house-museum of the Starikovs is the oldest monument. The city museum complex "Heritage" operates on its basis.
To get an idea of the most popular attractions in Togliatti, it is best to take a ride around the city on Friday and Saturday when wedding corteges roam the city. Over the years, a tradition has developed according to which newlyweds, while walking around Togliatti, visit various memorable places that would also be of interest to guests of the city.
In the Avtozavodsky district, the Eternal Flame, located in the Victory Park, and the Monument of Devotion, erected in honor of the German Shepherd Dog, which waited for 7 years on the side of the road for its owners who died in a car accident, are especially popular. To keep the newlyweds faithful to each other and be happy, they rub the bronze nose of the dog.
Lovers of technology can visit the technical museum of JSC AVTOVAZ. On an area of 38 hectares, there are about 3,000 small exhibits and over 460 large ones. In the museum you can see weapons from the First and Second World Wars, military equipment, cars and trucks of domestic and foreign production, agricultural, railway and space technology. The main highlight of the museum exposition is the diesel submarine B-307. All of Russia followed her movement from the Volga to the territory of the museum. On that day, all news broadcasts on the country's central television channels made live broadcasts from the scene.
In the Central District of the sights, one can single out a monument to the founder of Stavropol Tatishchev, which is located on the embankment in Portposelka, a complex located near the Zhiguli hotel and consisting of a monument to Nikolai the Wonderworker and a belfry
Not far from the Central Square are the Museum of Local Lore and the Togliatti Picture Gallery. In the local history museum, you can get an idea of the life of fellow countrymen who lived centuries ago, study the local fauna. Within the walls of the art gallery, exhibitions of works by both domestic and foreign artists are constantly held. Fans of theatrical performances can visit the famous all over Russia theater "Wheel".
In the Komsomolsk district greatest interest the embankment, which is a favorite place of recreation for young people, as well as a hydrofoil.
Guests of Togliatti should pay attention to the architectural appearance of the city. Of course, typical new buildings do not arouse any interest, but it is worth dropping into the Shluzovoy microdistrict and immediately there will be a feeling that you are in “Little Petersburg”.
After exploring the local sights, you will inevitably want to eat. There are two possibilities here.
