The importance of the city of Mirny as a center of the diamond mining industry is enormous not only for the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), but also for the entire Russian Federation. In a short period of time, the beautiful city of Mirny grew up. Mirny owes its birth to the courage of pioneers - geologists, the talent of Russian scientists, and the dedicated work of representatives of various specialties. They worked in geological parties, scientific institutes, on distant taiga routes, quarries, combines, and factories. The city was built by representatives of different nationalities, who were united by romance, patriotism and a common idea of ​​creation.

The bright dream of the romantics has come true. In place of the remote taiga and tundra, a small tent village has grown into a modern beautiful city with a population of about 40 thousand inhabitants. The taiga was crossed by wide and bright avenues lined with high-rise buildings.

Today Mirny is a city with a multinational population, the administrative, industrial, scientific and cultural center of Western Yakutia. The compact, cozy city of Mirny is one of the most beautiful cities in the North, preserving in memory the unique history of its formation and its contemporaries, workers of the diamond mining industry. From year to year our city becomes prettier, grows and develops, while maintaining its unique appearance.

Quarry "Mir"

Mining Machinery Memorial on boardquarry "Mir" (opened in 2001)

Rumors about the presence of precious stones in the territory of Yakutia and the lands bordering it began to appear at the beginning of the 19th century. As a result of prospecting work in 1950-1953, several diamond-bearing placers were discovered in Yakutia. On June 13, 1955, a geological party discovered a diamond-bearing pipe, which later turned out to have the richest diamond content. It was then that geologists sent a telegram that later flew around the world: “We lit the pipe of peace, the tobacco is good...”. The diamond tube was named “Mir”. The following year, quarry development began. Over 44 years, only 17 billion rubles worth of diamonds have been mined here.

The program of excursions that are organized for guests of our city certainly includes a visit to the observation deck of the quarry. Its berm steps can also be seen on the city coat of arms. But today conditions are changing, and Alrosa is forced to switch to the underground method of mining diamond ore. Now the main volume is carried out at the Mir mine, where diamonds are mined underground.

From 1956, when commercial exploitation of the Mir pipe began, until May 2001, when open-pit mining was completed, diamond miners penetrated more than half a kilometer into the diamond-bearing rock. In 2001, the Mining Equipment Memorial was opened on board the Mir quarry.

The tube on the surface has the shape of an irregular oval, elongated from northwest to southeast, with a weakened constriction approximately in the middle part. Size

its long axis, oriented in the northwestdirection, 490 m, along the short one - 320 m. Up to a depth of 200 m, the tube is a typical funnel, deeper (up to 900 m) - a cylindrical body with a slight narrowing downwards, andthen, 900-1000 m from the surface, it turns into a supply dike.

Monument to the discoverers of diamond deposits and creators

Mirny

The monument of republican significance is under state protection.The monument was opened on October 12, 1970. At the entrance to the city, against the background of man-made mountains, a 24-meter reinforced concrete obelisk rushes into the Yakut sky, bearing in its figurative characteristics the geological structure of a diamond-bearing kimberlite pipe. Embedded at height

17.5 m into one of the walls of the obelisk, made of concrete and smalt, the octahedron symbolizes that precious mineral for the sake of which the city of Mirny, the diamond capital of our Motherland, was built in the remote Siberian taiga. The architectural and spatial composition is complemented by a ramp-tribune, reminiscent of the horizon when mining waste rock aroundkimberlite pipe at the Mir quarry, one and a half kilometers from the monument. The ramp is decorated with bas-reliefs lined with colored smalt. The panel on the theme “Mother of Yakutia opens its depths to discoverers” was made under the direction of K. Korotkin by masters of the Moscow Decorative and Design Art Factory of the Art Fund of the RSFSR, according to sketches by the Moscow artist Yu. Kafengauz.

Designer Erlen Temnikov (former head of the construction department of Yakutniproalmaz) proposed constructing an obelisk from reinforced cement with the addition of granite chips on a powerful steel frame and three corners, with a base slab on a reinforced concrete grillage (foundation), resting in a pit at a depth of five meters on nine 11-meter piles, jammed into perpetually frozen ground. Engineer A. Plotnikov supervised these works. This is a monument to the strength and courage, intelligence and resourcefulness, endurance, knowledge and aspiration of those who created cities in the wilderness, put their souls into them and breathed life into them.

Memorial plaque to Pioneer Drivers

The monument to pioneer drivers was unveiled on April 19, 1967.

On this day back in 1957, diamond workers met a motor-tractor convoy that connected the city of Lensk with the city of Mirny. The column was headed by veteran of northern road transport Evgeniy Konstantinovich Belsky.

The memorial plaque bears the names of 59 pioneers to whom a monument was erected during their lifetime.

The monument is located 4 km from the city along the Mirny – Lensk highway.

Entry sign

The entrance sign is installed next to the stele in honor of the participants in the ferrying of vehicles from Bolshoy Never to Mirny. All this is a kind of repayment of debt to the veterans of the diamond region who found diamonds, paved roads, built cities and towns. The opening of the entry sign took place on September 10, 2004. A participant in the haul back in 1957, driver of the Mirny Mining and Processing Plant motor depot Nikolai Perminov shares his memories:

The path was very long and difficult, it took a month and a half. The road was blocked by rivers, cars fell through the ice, but we still continued on our way. I'm glad I lived to see this day. I am sad that many drivers from E.K. Belsky is no longer alive, they were wonderful people.

Monument to people, road and life

On the territory of the motor depot of the Mirny Mining and Processing Plant, a ZIL-585 stood still on a pedestal, as if it had just stopped. These famous cars, popularly called “football”, were the first on impassable northern roads.

The car became a monument to the feat of drivers and the work of diamond miners. It carried the first cargo and transported ore to factories.

The monument was erected on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the enterprise (1987) in September 1986. The idea of ​​the monument belongs to the head of the MGOK motor depot, Honorary Citizen of the city of Mirny, Nikolai Ivanovich Chirkov.

The information was received from the trade union committee of the motor depot of the Mirny Mining and Processing Plant.

Memorial complex "30th anniversary of the Victory".

On May 9, 1975, an obelisk was inaugurated in the city of Mirny in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Great Victory.

The three swords symbolize the armed forces on land, air and sea. When a sword (weapon) is stuck into the ground, it means the end of the war, a symbol of victory.

“Let the world be unshakable, and let the blades of swords look at the ground forever,” these words of the Mirny poet and journalist M. Morozov speak perfectly about the final goal of the fight against fascism. They walk around the pedestal.

The obelisk was created on a competitive basis. Electric lighting and radio installation for the obelisk were also designed. In subsequent years, the city authorities and the leaders of the Yakutalmaz trust decided to expand the topic and create a memorial complex in which there would be a place for both the land of the hero cities and

To the Eternal Flame of Memory. At that time, there were still quite a lot of veterans of the Great Patriotic War in the city and people who had lost relatives and friends on the battlefields, and on May 9 they had nowhere to bow to the memory of the fallen, to pay tribute to the soldiers-liberators.

With funds from the Yakutalmaz Trust, the current memorial complex was created on the 30th Anniversary of the Victory Square. The Moscow Plant of Monumental and Decorative Sculpture, represented by artists - members of the Union of Artists of the USSR - V. Frolov and M. Neimark, took part in its creation; the chief architect is a member of the Union of Architects of the Russian Federation and the head of the team of authors E. Ermolaev, the designers are Y. Grechanik (Yakutalmaz Institute) and E. Bogomolsky, as well as MEPS workers.

The memorial complex consists of three parts.

"Wall of People's Memory" On it there are five forged copper medallions (shaped like order blocks) with thematic relief compositions: the beginning of the war - farewell; rear to front; partisans; offensive; victory. The authors are Moscow sculptors V. Frolov and M. Neimark.

An obelisk of three swords, symbolizing the end of the war, the victory of three branches of the military (at the same time this symbol can be interpreted as the victory of three allies: the USSR, the USA, England. Height 13.5 meters. Assembled in Moscow from sheet brass with brass rivets on a steel frame. The foundation of the "swords" stands on nine-meter piles driven into the permafrost. All the letters of the inscriptions are made in Moscow from cast bronze. The facing stone - red, black (labradorite) and gray granite was brought from Krasnoyarsk quarries.

The slab of hero cities - capsules with lands that were specially brought by veterans of the Great Patriotic War from all hero cities are walled up in it. The golden star located in the center of the slab was supposed to light the Eternal Flame.

By a special decision of the Ministry of Culture of the YASSR, the monument was recognized as a cultural monument of republican (Sakha) significance, transferred to the balance of the cultural department of the Mirny administration and is subject to state protection.

Bust of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin for the 60th anniversary of the Victory

On May 7, 2005, in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Great Victory, a monument to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the USSR, Generalissimo I.V. Stalin was unveiled in Mirny.

This is a bronze bust, the work of a St. Petersburg sculptor, born in Suntar, Eduard Pakhomov. Installed on the square of the 30th anniversary of the Victory at the request of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, which was supported by some labor collectives, youth and public organizations of the Mirny district.

It is no secret that the decision to erect a monument to Stalin in Mirny caused a heated debate, which spilled over onto Russian radio and television channels and the pages of printed newspapers.

The media and discovered two camps in civil society. The first is victims of political repression and their descendants. They warned their fellow citizens about the inadmissibility of revenge of the totalitarian regime and implored their contemporaries not to bring back from the past the shadows of leaders - criminals who subjected their own people to genocide. The second is war veterans who defeated fascism; Russians mourning the lost power of a great state of equal opportunities, socially oriented and predictable in relation to its people; young people who have inherited from their parents a keen sense of justice, for example, in the distribution of national income. They advocated respect for the history of their country and the people who made this history. The monument was erected near the 30th Anniversary of Victory Square.

Nine-story buildings in the city of Mirny – first in Yakutia

A characteristic feature of our city is stone – precious and construction stone. New houses and new city blocks grew from the building stones. In Mirny for the first time in

In Yakutia, 9-storey houses were laid out and built on self-defrosting piles. The first nine-story building was commissioned in 1974. If you look under such a house, you will see thick piles standing in rows in the cool darkness. They are driven to a depth of up to 4.5 meters, and frost and wind rule between them, preventing the warmth of the house from melting the permafrost underneath. If this is not done, the building will warp and sink into a quagmire. Under nine-story buildings, kerosene piles are used. Inside each pile, two interconnected tubes are inserted into which kerosene is poured. In cold weather, it cools down and goes down along the coil, gradually increasing the cold around the pile within a radius of one to one and a half meters. The constant temperature of the permafrost is minus one degree, and builders lower it in this way to minus 20. In the summer, warm kerosene sits at the top. All this was invented by scientists from our institute “Yakutniproalmaz” with scientists from the Yakut Institute of Permafrost Science. This is how our city was created.

Chapel in honor of St. Andrew the First-Called

A chapel named in honor of St. Andrew the First-Called has become an integral part of the city of Mirny. (The first of the apostles, hence his name First-Called, followed Christ along with his brother Peter. He was a simple fisherman from the city of Bethsaida in Palestine. After the day of Pentecost, he preached the faith of Christ in the Black Sea countries and, according to legend, walked to the mouth of the Dnieper to Novgorod , predicting the creation of a great Christian city on the Kiev mountains. He also founded a church in a small Byzantine village - the future Constantinople. The apostolic path of Andrew the First-Called ended in Greece, in the city of Patras, where he was crucified on the cross at the age of 62. The cross was inclined in the shape of a letter "X". Its symbolic image is placed on the flag of the Russian Navy, therefore it is called Andreevsky).

Project by the chief architect of the Yakutniiproalmaz Institute of AK ALROSA, Sergei Vasilyevich Mironov. The chapel is a free-standing cruciform religious building. It was built according to the canonical traditions of Russian architectural architecture as a prayer and liturgical building. It consists of one room, crowned with a dome with a cross. She is distinguished by rigor and lack of pomp.

The consecration of the chapel took place in the year of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the city of Mirny on September 7, 2005. The main part of the costs for the construction of the chapel was borne by the townspeople. This is Andrei Nikolaevich Yamboglo - construction, Vasily Andreevich Zholob - gilding of the dome and Vladimir Ivanovich Milushkevich - finishing of the chapel. Bishop Zosima of Yakutsk and Lensky awarded the restoration of the chapel to entrepreneur A.N. Yamboglo medal of the Russian Orthodox Church of St. Seraphim of Sarov, 2nd degree.

Kimberlite Museum

The ALROSA Kimberlite Museum was created by geophysicist engineer D.I. Savrasova. The Museum contains collections of kimberlite rocks from mined and explored blocks of the main diamond deposits, as well as collections of kimberlites from hundreds of weakly diamond-bearing pipe, dike and vein bodies. The museum, in addition to kimberlite rocks and minerals from deposits in Yakutia, has small collections of kimberlites from the Arkhangelsk region, Karelia, Canada, Finland, South and West Africa. There are impact meteorite diamond-bearing formations of the Popigai meteorite crater (impactites), a collection of lamproites from Australia.

The kimberlite museum began to be created in the early seventies of the last century during the Botuoba expedition of the Yakutgeology PGO.

In those same years, a geological museum began to be created at the Yakutalmaz PNO. By orders of the Minister of Non-Ferrous Metallurgy P.F. Lomako on November 12, 1974, three staff positions were allocated for museum work. The museum’s task was: “To organize in Mirny an all-Union stock collection of kimberlites and associated deep-seated rocks and minerals.” Later, in the mid-1980s, both museums were united under the auspices of the Botuoba expedition. The museum continued to be replenished with collections of various rocks and minerals. General Director of PNO "Yakutalmaz" L.A. Safonov creates a united mineralogical museum at the Mirny State Exploration Expedition (order No. 459 of 10.1992). The museum’s task is not only to collect stone material from mined diamond deposits.

The order stipulates that “the Museum must clearly and with sufficient completeness show the structure of the Siberian diamond-bearing province and be one of the attributes of the city of Mirny as the capital of the diamond region.” Subsequently, the museum was formed under the leadership of D.I. Savrasov, a separate house is allocated on the basis of the Markhinsky party of the Mirny State Expeditionary Expedition. In 2001, on the initiative of the former president of AK ALROSA V.A. Shtyrov, the second floor of a stone building in the city center with a total area of ​​more than 800 sq.m. is allocated for the museum.

Palace of Culture "Almaz"

“The building of the Almaz Palace of Culture fits organically into the architectural ensemble of Lenin Square. Its appearance is restrained, two rounded blind pylons seem to frame a large stained glass window, through which the brightly lit lobby and foyer are clearly visible, connecting the interior with the environment.

The functions of the palace of culture, where there is a room for a library, a lecture hall, photo and film laboratories, workshops, an art studio, and an exhibition hall, are to satisfy the spiritual needs of people. This was the main task for the architect Viktor Perpisov, who developed the project...” - this is what M.M. wrote about the Palace. Sofianidi, head of the literary association "Kimberlit" in 1977, the year of its opening.

In the 21st century, both the external and internal decoration of the Almaz Palace of Culture changed.

After the reconstruction of the square, all the buildings that make up its ensemble were designed in green and blue tones, matching the color of the Mirny kimberlites.

For the interior decoration of the Almaz Palace of Culture, noble dark brown, black marble, and white metal were used, which gave a modern touch to the design of the building. Instead of a lecture hall (small hall) there is now a hall for ballet classes. The building of the Palace of Culture is especially beautiful on New Year's holidays, when it puts on festive attire.

Triumph Stadium

Opening of the Triumph Stadium - a sports complex named after. The 60th anniversary of the Victory took place on August 6, 2005.

This is a modern sports facility with a good artificial turf that is resistant to the vagaries of northern weather.

The stadium was built taking into account all international requirements. Taking into account the northern weak soils, a reinforced concrete slab was installed in the base and a protective layer was made to prevent thawing under the slab.

After pouring a layer of quartz sand with rubber crumbs, which was delivered from Finland, a special “green grass” type covering was installed on the playing field, which is the latest generation of coverings used in international practice.

The stadium's stands can accommodate five thousand spectators at once. There are two artificial lighting masts and platforms for television cameras. The running tracks and shot put sectors are covered with a special rubber coating. This is a northern option - for our climatic conditions.

Small architectural forms

Dragon, birds of paradise and flowers

A favorite place for Mirny residents - children and adults - to walk was the park near the Zarnitsa Hotel and the Almaz Palace of Culture. A cheerful fairy-tale family settled here in 1994: Gorynych, aka Drakosha, birds of paradise and flowers. The author of this metal sculptural composition is Honored Artist of Ukraine N.I. Mazur. Paths were laid along the green lawn, benches were placed, and Mirny residents flocked here.

Viktorova, T. Drakosha lives on the lawn / T. Viktorova // Mirny worker. - 1994. - September 3.

baby mammoth

Mammoths are the calling card of Yakutia. In the north of Yakutia, where the lowlands are washed by the sea, the remains of these large herbivorous fossil animals, united by one name - mammoth fauna, are found everywhere. If you decide to take a walk in the city of Mirny along Pavlova Street near the “Golden Tusk” store (Pavlova, 8a), you will definitely pay attention to the cute baby mammoth among the birches.

Strunnikov Yuri Vladimirovich, general. Director of JSC "Novis" as a gift to the city.

D dear doctor Aibolit and everything, everything, everything

A sculptural composition of K.I.’s favorite literary heroes. Chukovsky - “Doctor Aibolit and his friends” brings the joy of meeting the children of Mirny near the building of the children's clinic.

But look, some kind of bird

It rushes closer and closer through the air.

Look, Aibolit is sitting on a bird

waving his hat and shouting loudly...

But Aibolit shouts not “Dear Africa”, but “Hello, North”! Therefore, next to him in the composition of a small architectural form are penguins, polar bears, and fish.

Stolen sun

It’s always sunny in the small square near the Serge store on Tikhonov Street. The sculptural composition “Bear and Crocodile” is installed here - characters from the book by K.I. Chukovsky "Stolen Sun".

And in the big river

Crocodile

Lying down

And in his teeth

It's not the fire that burns -

The sun is red

Stolen sun

The idea of ​​installing this small architectural form belongs to N.A. Fateev. , who has done a lot for the improvement of our city.

Information provided by Ch. architect of the Yakutniiproalmaz Institute - Mironov S.V.

Lions in the city

Overnight: it wasn’t there in the evening, but in the morning they were already sitting – lions appeared in Mirny. Now they decorate the entrance to the Golden Fleece cafe. This is how the café workers added their own twist to the look of modern Mirny. The royal lions were made by order of the director of the Golden Fleece cafe, Valentina Vladimirovna Dreeva, in St. Petersburg.

Information provided by the director of the Golden Fleece cafe V.V. Dreeva.

PROGRESS OF THE CLASS HOUR

Stage I "Introductory"

1. Organizational moment

2. Setting a classroom goal

Teacher: In the city of Penza there are 236 monuments, of which 166 are objects of historical and cultural heritage. They are the link between the past and the present. Each of them has its own story, its own heroes.
The goal of our class hour is to find out: “What unique memorable places are located in our city. After all, they can become the calling card of the city, making it popular not only in our country, but also abroad.

Stage II “Basic”

Teacher: Each city has its own calling card. We say Moscow, but in our imagination the Kremlin or Red Square, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior or the monument to Yuri Dolgoruky appear. Our imagination paints us images. They shape our impression. What memorial sign is the symbol of our city?
How do the residents of our city answer this question? We contacted them with a question.

(View video)

Teacher: Guys, what monuments do you think can be called unique? (Students’ answers: unique, unusual.)

– Archivist, what do you think?

Archivist: In the dictionary of S.I. Ozhegov we read: “Unique are one of a kind, inimitable.”

Teacher: What can be attributed to them in our city?

Presentations)

Among the monuments and memorable places are:
– Cuckoo clock, which is located on Moskovskaya Street. They were installed in 1974. “The mechanism was made at the Serdobsky Watch Factory, the metal frame was made at the Diesel Factory, the crystal columns were made at the Nikolsky Factory.”
Engineers from the Serdobsk Watch Factory - Valentin Mizhev, Vladimir Panin and Oleg Rozanov - worked on the unique mechanism. The workers of the experimental workshop V. Alakin, B. Lushnikov, A. Komarov and others put a lot of work into the manufacture of the clock into the design - sculptors I. Seredkin (diesel plant) and V. Aleksyuk (Penza art and production workshops of the Art Fund of the RSFSR).
Did you know that this is the largest cuckoo clock in the world?
– Monument “Box “Russian Folk Proverbs””. It appeared on the city map in 2010 and is located in the park named after A.S. Pushkin, on Moskovskaya street. The box was cast from bronze by the sculptor, Honored Artist of Russia Valery Kuznetsov. This is the first and only casket monument in Russia. “The sculptural composition was donated to the city by Megafon... Penza has become the eighth city in Russia in which Megafon opens such art objects. Each sculptural composition emphasizes the historical and cultural uniqueness of a particular city.
– Monument to V. O. Klyuchevsky. It was opened on October 11, 2008 at the intersection of Bakunin and Plekhanov streets in front of the College of Culture and Arts - in the historical center of the city. The competition to create the monument was won by Valery Kuznetsov. Bronze Klyuchevsky weighs more than a ton. It was cast by Belarusian craftsmen. According to the author of the monument, the work of the foundry workers is impeccable. According to Doctor of Historical Sciences Viktor Kondrashin, the monument to Klyuchevsky is the only monument to a historian in the world.
– Another unique place is the monument to Penza policemen, which was opened on November 10, 2007 on Nekrasova Street. This is the only monument in Russia dedicated to a local police officer. The prototype of the immortalized policeman was the legendary Penza district police officer of the 1950s-1960s, police captain Grigory Aleksandrovich Shelkov, widely known in Penza to this day. The monument was erected on Nekrasova Street, in the area where the buildings of the Penza riot police, the traffic police and the police department building under construction are located. The authors of the monument: sculptor - Alexander Khachaturyan, People's Artist of Kalmykia; architect - Dmitry Dimakov.
– Driving past the Globe monument, we see an original engineering design in the shape of a globe, but we don’t even suspect that it is unique. Our monument was erected in 1972 at the intersection of Suvorov and Bekeshskaya streets. There is a similar model in New York, but it is smaller in diameter and does not create any semblance of the movement of our planet around its axis, and even at the same speed. Guys, do you know the name of its creator? No? This is the Penza inventor - Vladimir Bobikov!

Teacher: Guys, do you know what a museum is? What kinds of museums are there?
(Student answers: places where antiques are stored; museums include local history, art, etc.)
– Archivist, won’t you help us?

Archivist:“Museum (from the Latin museum, from the Greek “museoin” - “temple of the muses”)
A research institution that stores, studies, displays and popularizes historical monuments, material and spiritual culture. Types of museums: natural science, local history, memorial, art and others.”

Teacher: Each museum is unique in its own way. Everyone preserves and passes on to future generations captured moments of the past.

The flower is dried up, scentless,
I see forgotten in the book;
And now with a strange dream
My soul was filled.
Where did it bloom? When? What spring?
And how long did it bloom? And torn by someone
A stranger, or a familiar hand?
And why was it put here?..

Following A.S. Pushkin, when studying each subject, we ask the questions: “What? Where? When? Who?" It is in the museum that we try to get answers to all these questions.

There are 15 museums in the Penza region, including the state Lermontov Museum-Reserve “Tarkhany” of federal significance. There are eight in the city of Penza, including three unique ones that have no analogues in the world.

(The story is accompanied by a show Presentations)

This is a museum of one painting named after Georgy Vasilyevich Myasnikov. It was opened on February 12, 1983 at the address - Kirova Street, building 11. This year it celebrates its 30th anniversary. The only museum of its kind in Russia and the world that does not have a permanent exhibition. Did you know that in the Forbes list our museum is listed alongside the Italian Museum of the Shroud of Turin, the Liberty Bell Museum from the USA, the French Museum of Marshal Foch's Staff Car and several other original art repositories.
Museum-Theater named after Vsevolod Emilievich Meyerhold. The museum was opened in a memorial house on Volodarsky Street, restored in 1984. The concept of the exhibition has three components: the life of the Meyerhold family in Penza (1874-1895); "Masquerade" M.Yu. Lermontov directed by V.E. Meyerhold; author's theaters of our time, concepts of the theatrical avant-garde. It is located on the territory of a former city estate, in a wooden house (1881). Nearby is the building of the former Meyerhold factory. Both buildings are part of the "Corner of Old Penza" complex. The uniqueness is that it is both a museum and a theater at the same time.
“House of Russian History” - this is how we can proudly call this memorial, located on Klyuchevskogo Street. This is the only museum of this historian in the country. Agree, not many people know that since 1991, all-Russian and international scientific conferences have been held here.

Cartographer: Guys, today we took a virtual tour of the unique memorable places of our hometown. The length of our excursion is 6.67 km. The route is ahead of you.

Stage III “Final”

Teacher: Guys, what new did you learn in class today?
– What unique memorable places are located in our hometown?
– What conclusions did you draw from what you saw and heard?

(Students' answers)

The student reads:

And above Penza the sky is so blue!
The sun rose from the crimson dawn.
Take your heart out of your chest and into your palms
And give it to all people with kindness.
I don’t regret neither the colors nor the words,
To convey my feelings more fully.
There are many beautiful cities in the world,
You just can’t find anything better than our Penza.
The Russian soul always lives here,
Settled since time immemorial.
And therefore our Penza people
Gifted with kindness and talent.
Saltykov-Shchedrin and Lobachevsky...
Razin and Pugachev were here,
Meyerhold, Belinsky and Klyuchevsky,
Lermontov, Kuprin and Ogarev...
The birthplace of the Russian circus,
You are the forge of sports victories,
You are a generous piggy bank of talents,
The city that is dressed in green!
World Museum of One Painting,
City cathedrals domes...
Penza, hymns have been sung about you
The gentle ringing of their bells.
The banks bent over the Sura River,
Framing the waters with the greenery of gardens.
You, Penza, are like a dear mother to me.
You are the pearl of Russian cities.

V. Gvozdev

Teacher: With this poem we end our class hour dedicated to our beloved city on the eve of its glorious anniversary - the 350th anniversary, which will be solemnly celebrated in September 2013.

“The chief governor was mighty, a glorious witness of the past years...”

November 4, 2009, National Unity Day, on Port Said Street, opposite the M. Gorky Library, in the park named after. Simbirtsev, a monument to governor Grigory Zasekin, the founder of Tsaritsyn, was unveiled. From historical sources it is known that governor Grigory Zasekin not only built Tsaritsyn, but was also its first governor until the spring of 1590. In addition to Tsaritsyn, Grigory Osipovich was the governor of fortified cities on the Volga: Samara (1586-1587), Astrakhan (1589), Saratov (1590). Fortress cities on the Volga became strategic points in the Lower Volga and Don regions, ensuring the security of the southeastern borders of the Russian state. And this, undoubtedly, is the merit of Prince Grigory Osipovich Zasekin.
The author of the sculptural composition is Volgograd sculptor Vladimir Seryakov.

...The governor knitted his eyebrows:
“I will give you advice, sons -
We don't want more blood
But you must guard Russia!
Don't ruin it in vain
I freely use my strength,
For Rus', sons, it is dangerous,
If there are no husbands in the ranks!...”

“Bless your doctors, Russia, rushing to work at dawn...”

On September 16, 2005, the monument “To the Medics of Tsaritsyn-Stalingrad - Volgograd” was solemnly opened in Volgograd. The opening is timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Volgograd Medical University. The monument is located opposite the main entrance to the medical university and is intended to perpetuate the memory of all doctors and other medical workers in our city, who often sacrificed their lives to save the wounded and sick. The monument is a two-meter granite stele in the form of the Latin letter “V”, reminiscent of a broken heart. Inside this composition there is a “tree of life”, which at the same time symbolizes the good hands of the doctor. The monument has already developed a tradition: holding on to the “tree of life,” one must wish health to oneself and one’s loved ones.
The author of the memorial sign is Volgograd sculptor Sergei Shcherbakov.

If only all the professions in the world
Suddenly pile up like a mountain on the planet,
That's probably at its top
The word would flash: “Medicine.”
For almost since the Stone Age
There was no more honorable fate
What to fight in the flames of struggle
For saving a person's life.

“Next to you is a Guardian Angel...”

In September 2005, in the park named after. Sasha Filippov in the Voroshilovsky district unveiled a two-meter bronze sculpture of the Guardian Angel. This is one of those “peaceful” monuments of the hero city, looking at which you don’t want to remember the war. A bronze angel with prayerfully folded wings symbolizes spiritual purity and protection from worldly evil. Engraved on the pedestal are the words: “St. Guardian Angel, pray to God for us!”
The idea of ​​installing such a monument belonged to representatives of the public of our city, who announced a competition among Volgograd artists for the best sketch of the future sculpture. The sketches were reviewed by Metropolitan Herman of Kamyshin and Volgograd himself. The Metropolitan liked the drawing by Volgograd artist Sergei Shcherbakov because of the modest and humble image of the angel. Sergei Shcherbakov became the author of the monument.
There is such a good tradition: if you touch the sculpture, hold on to the wings of an Angel and make a wish, then it will certainly come true. As a sign of gratitude, residents of Volgograd and its many guests leave coins and flowers on the pedestal of their heavenly protector.

Guardian angel, thank you dear!
Since childhood you have been next to me,
You help me go through life,
So as not to accidentally go astray.
Quietly tell me where the right step is
And you will hint who is my friend and who is my enemy.
Don't let me fall off the cliff into the abyss,
If sometimes a misfortune suddenly struck.

“Dogs are not remembered by name, they are not given awards or orders...”

On May 28, 2011, in the Voroshilovsky district on Chekistov Square, near the monument to the officers of the 10th division of the NKVD troops and police officers who died a brave death in the defense of Stalingrad, the grand opening of the only memorial in Russia “to the destroyers of fascist tanks - demolition dogs of the 10th rifle regiment” took place. NKVD divisions.
At the beginning of the Battle of Stalingrad, the 28th separate detachment of dogs was assigned to the 10th NKVD division of the 282nd rifle regiment. Four-legged soldiers played a very significant role in the destruction of enemy tanks during the defense of Stalingrad. The dog squad destroyed and damaged 42 enemy tanks and exterminated more than a company of enemy machine gunners. The opening of the monument was timed to coincide with the 93rd anniversary of the creation of the regional FSB department.
The monument is made in bronze and is life-size. The dog is depicted with a bag with TNT and a fuse attached to its back, as it was during the Great Patriotic War. The whole figure of the animal is tense, it already sees its target and is ready to rush into the last battle. According to the authors of the composition, this is a collective image of a person’s devoted friend and a true fighter.
The author of the monument is a sculptor from Volzhsky, a member of the Union of Artists of Russia Nikolai Karpov.
At the opening of the monument, those present took turns rubbing the paws of the bronze dog, thus marking the beginning of a new tradition in the city.

Dogs! God gave you to people as a reward,
To warm the heart and delight the eye.
How little do you need from a person?
How much he gets from you!
When a dog is near a person,
Evil leaves the soul drop by drop.
She will always understand you at a glance,
Will fill the house with comfort and warmth.

“Hello, dear hippopotamus!..”

On April 23, 2008, on the lawn in front of the building of the new children's entertainment complex "Hippopo", in the Krasnoarmeysky district, an unusual sculpture - a bronze hippopotamus - was unveiled. The author of the sculpture is the President of the Russian Academy of Arts, the famous Russian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli. The artist received an order for the sculpture from the management of the children's complex. Z. Tsereteli agreed to do the work and refused the fee, declaring that he wanted to make a gift to Volgograd children and all residents of the city.
On the day of the opening of the monument to the hippopotamus, a new tradition was born: you need to climb onto the hippopotamus’s back, grab its ears and make a wish.

My favorite hippo
Lives in hot Africa.
It would be nice to be with dad
Fly there
Where is the hippopotamus on the river
Warms his big belly.

“I dreamed of making friends with an owl...”

In December 2005, a monument to Owl was erected at the entrance to the Polytechnic College, located in the Kirovsky district on 64th Army Street. The stone bird was made life-size - a 20-centimeter figurine of an owl was placed on a one-and-a-half-meter pedestal. The monument to the Owl, a symbol of knowledge and wisdom, was opened in the year of the 75th anniversary of the college.
Students and schoolchildren immediately fell in love with the sculpture, and they immediately came up with a tradition: in order to pass exams or successfully defend a diploma, you need to leave a coin on the pedestal near the owl.

The wisest bird in the world is the owl
He hears everything
But very stingy with words,
The more he hears -
The less he talks.
Ah, this is what many of us miss.

“There is such a profession...”

In August 2009, an unusual monument appeared in the courtyard of the Volgograd Central Department Store, representing a plumber crawling out of a sewer hatch. This sculpture is surrounded by a composition of a fountain, five stars and a fragment of an aerial bomb. The image of the hero of public utilities was taken from a real person - handyman Alexander Dubovsky, who during the Great Patriotic War was a favorite of the residents of the Central region. According to another version, the monument is a collective image of representatives of this profession. The City Hall of the Central District did not even know about the existence of the monument for a long time. It is believed that such an unusual gift for the city’s anniversary was made by one of the managers of a large trading enterprise in the Central District.
Despite the illegality of the appearance of the monument, residents of the area have already developed a tradition: holding the plumber’s right hand, people ask for solutions to their housing and communal problems.
There is no plaque with the sculptor's name on this extravagant monument.

I decided to become a plumber...
Infiltrated by the idea...
And I thought and thought for a long time...
Over an intoxicating idea...
I bought overalls, a hammer...
Keys, other various tools...
I'm sitting and waiting for a call...

“Teacher, before your name...”

On September 1, every child goes to school, and each of the children waits to meet their first teacher. This is a joyful event, a holiday of flowers and smiles. The teacher enters the class, and many inquisitive, inquisitive eyes look at him, asking - “What are you like?”, “What can you tell?”, “Do you believe in fairy tales?”, “What can you teach?”
The fate of the country and students is in the hands of the first teacher. In the future, the hands of students will sow grain, guide ships, and create amazing things.

In the year of the Teacher, a monument to the first Teacher, sculptor Anatoly Pakhota, was opened in the Krasnoarmeysky district on Engels Boulevard. Adults and children can come to the boulevard and say “Thank you” to the first school teacher.

Teacher, school teacher!
No matter how far our path is,
You will have threads in your hands
Our long roads.

And, looking into the blue expanses,
Through the passing years,
You are like mothers by name
You will always call us.

So let's learn quickly!
There's a lot to do!
Science will be useful to us
In our chosen path

“Glory to you, Lord, for the fact that we are Cossacks! Mothers of Russia are free sons"

On the upper terrace of the embankment named after the 62nd Army, near the Church of John the Baptist, there is now a memorial composition “Cossack Glory” (the authors of the composition are Vladimir Seryakov and Sergei Shcherbakov). The sculpture consists of two figures: a Cossack on horseback, leaving for service, and a Cossack woman, seeing off her husband with an icon of the Mother of God in her hands. Sculptor Vladimir Seryakov says that the prototypes of the monument’s characters are real people, our fellow countrymen who lived in the village of Kletskaya at the beginning of the twentieth century: Knight of St. George Kuzma Kryuchkov and his wife.
We are proud of our history, stories and legends, as well as our ancestors who glorified our region.

On the Don and the Urals
The Cossacks stood like a wall
Orthodox.
From trouble and from sadness
They defended their native land
Glorious warriors...

Horseshoe for luck

We all believe in omens. And the happiest thing is to find a horseshoe for luck. Not to buy, not to steal, but to find or accept as a gift. Our ancestors considered the horseshoe a symbol of good luck and prosperity and cherished it as a talisman.
The MegaFon company, as part of the “Giving a Legend” project, decided to remember the tradition and give our glorious city a symbol of happiness and good luck. At the base of the “Horseshoe of Happiness” they laid a capsule with appeals to descendants from veterans of the Great Patriotic War and famous people of Volgograd. The text of these wishes will be revealed in 2060, 50 years from now.
The sculpture is located on Lenin Avenue, opposite the registry office and is a three-meter high arch, which is decorated with sunny sunflowers and white doves - symbols of peace.

I have a horseshoe to make me happy -
it was according to all orders.
Her on Chersonesos, on a cliff,
I found it on the quiet battlefield.

There are five nails in it,
she was lying towards me along the way
on the edge of the earth.

Taking this into account, search tasks for classes within the project were developed, and a program was drawn up.
