monument to P.I. Tchaikovsky, Votkinsk


"The photograph shows a majestic monument to the composer P.I. Tchaikovsky, which was erected in 1989. Before that, a nondescript bust of a man stood in that place. The modern landmark is located next to the estate museum, where the young talent lived as a child."The Nutcracker" Ondine", Swan Lake" - it is difficult to find a person who has not heard about these immortals musical works. And the name of the author of these works is probably familiar to everyone. But Votkinsk is Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s small homeland. For me personally, the monument to P.I. Tchaikovsky is the memory of a great fellow countryman, pride in my homeland, and simply one of the attractions of our city and our Republic.

-- In the photo is my son Damir Khokhryakov, age 4.5 years, Votkinsk. I drew the map myself and colored it. The map shows the path from Votkinsk to Perm (World of Gifts), where every year he receives a wonderful, sweet New Year's gift." Shaikhieva Albina (Damir’s mother)

"Eiffel Tower in Perm

Many of us dreamed of visiting France and seeing the Eiffel Tower in all its splendor with our own big and enthusiastic eyes. Now for every resident of Perm this dream has become feasible. The Eiffel Tower, although not French and not 324 meters high, but a reduced miniature one with a height of only 11 meters can be seen, touched and photographed.

The steel tower is located in my area where I live and study, in the industrial area, on Ryazanskaya Street, 19 (not far from my house). The tower was installed by employees of JSC Magpermmet in 2009 and weighs 7 tons (the weight of the French celebrity is 10,100 tons). In the evening hours, the tower is illuminated by several lanterns, which change color after a certain time.

We really liked the new landmark; the tower attracts attention and is proudly visible from afar. Now it is a popular meeting place for couples in love. There are especially many people who want to take pictures at the tower on Friday on their happiest day in life - their wedding day. Many married couples come to the tower in the evening hours of weekends to get a bit of the gentle, romantic, sophisticated French mood." Krasnoselskikh Olga

"Thanks to our daughter Sofia (she was given New Year's party in the kindergarten there is a gift with your box) we learned about your competition! We decided to take part in the competition and send photographs of our house, the history of which begins in 1948. During the Great Patriotic War in 1943, a military plant from Vladimir was evacuated to our area; shells and cartridges for the front were made here. After the war, our village began to bear the name Vladimirsky m/r in honor of the city of Vladimir. Our grandparents came here and began to build this house; the house was built in 1948 as one of the first. Our home is very dear to us; more than one generation of our family has grown up here. Currently, a large private sector with four streets has formed here. In the summer it is very beautiful, calm, and good. We are very grateful to our grandparents that this house has stood for 69 years!” Sincerely, Andrey Patrushev

I love my city early in the morning,

When all its streets are deserted.

I love my city at the height of the day,

When people scurry around, run and rush.

And in the evening, when the lights are burning,

The streets and shop windows are shining.

I love my city and on a clear day,

And in cold, and in heat, and in bad weather.

I love every corner and house in it,

I love unique nature.

I love my city with all my soul since childhood,

Without demanding mutual love in return.

For what? Because this city is mine.

And for me he is the most wonderful!

Let's love our city, friends!

Appreciate, protect and decorate it.

Write poems about him and compose songs!

Want to make some money? Take part in our new competition. Its conditions are very simple and will not require much of your time. Just tell us about your favorite city and get paid for it. Details of the competition are below:

Some time ago I wrote about what I was planning. After that, I received a parcel from one of the blog readers, whose name is Vladimir Sergeevich Dmitrienko. He lives in Smolensk. He invited me to his place, and included in the parcel a tourist map of the city, as well as photographs of noteworthy places.

I really liked this gift and Smolensk in the photo and I thought: “Why not combine business with pleasure?”

I decided to hold a competition, the goal of which is to collect as much information as possible about interesting cities where I could live. I’ve been wanting to move somewhere for a long time, but I haven’t decided where exactly yet. Ideally, I would like to live in different cities for several years, 3-4 months in each, in order to ultimately decide on permanent place residence.

But who can better tell about nice city if not a resident of this very city?

So, to take part in the competition you need:

  1. Record video
  2. Or write an email

What should be in this video or letter?

You need to describe your favorite city. And not necessarily the one in which you live. It could be any city, but you should know it well. That is, if you went somewhere on vacation for 2 weeks or even a month and you really liked it, this does not mean that you know the city well.

You can know a city well if you have lived in it for some time. Then you can know how the good side, and bad.

There are no strict requirements for the content of your presentation. You can tell:

  • About why you love your city;
  • Where do you like to be? this city;
  • Talk about memorable places;
  • About the residents (what they are like - kind, evil, sympathetic, indifferent, etc.)
  • About nature;
  • About the weather;
  • Etc.

The winners will be determined by the so-called “Wow” effect. That is, when, after hearing or reading something, you want to say a surprised and meaningful “Wow.”

Based on the presentations of cities received from you, I will draw up a plan of visits. First on the list of visits I will put the city that is presented best. That is, after watching your video or reading your letter, I should have a desire to definitely visit your city.

Accordingly, the winner will be selected according to the priorities I have set in the visit schedule. The city that I want to visit first will take Grand Prize, second – next prize etc.

The competition is held until August 1, 2013. The winners will be determined and awarded from August 1 to August 10. The most interesting presentations will be posted on the “My Ruble” blog. Send your work to emai: myrouble dog mail.ru

I want not only me and those who will take prizes to benefit from this competition. I would like other people who dream of moving to another place to benefit, but have not yet decided where. Let's learn together about the most beautiful cities of our Motherland!

Thank you very much to the Adyghe Foundation, they sent me prizes, I don’t know why... I wrote an essay for the competition, original, not published before. Well, I decided to post it. If anyone is interested, read it.

I am very lucky, I know an incredible number of people, residents of, in fact, all the North Caucasian republics. Visiting different regions I certainly encountered the hospitality, traditions, ambitions and independence of the peoples inhabiting them. And I can say with certainty that I love my large mountainous region and here’s why.

The Caucasus sounds proud!

They live in the Caucasus proud people. It is difficult to meet a man oppressed by his position. Even if he does, he will never admit it. Trying to stay on an equal footing with someone who is higher than you in status is some amazing skill and property that is not given to everyone, but it exists! Sometimes pride creeps into people in an exaggerated form, when they desperately try to tell others that “I AM HERE, BY THE WAY!!!” In a word, pride has different shapes. Sometimes, perhaps, “from the outside” it looks presumptuous, funny, absurd, but in reality, it is not simple. It seems to me that for a man to be able to stay “on horseback” and with “his own face” and a clear conscience is tantamount to a manifestation of courage and bravery. Although, in our globalized World, this does not always help to become “successful”.

Those who have renounced knowledge.

There are also sad trends in the Caucasus, one of them is a “turn against” science, and not only science, but also knowledge. I don’t know why, but many members of the older generation don’t even care about the quality of their children’s education in institutes, universities, colleges and even schools. Children do not care about the quality of knowledge and often have no desire to learn. For some, going to the library is considered disgraceful. Alas, the limitations of the younger generation will echo loudly. Although, I remember, from the stories of my elders, how people with “institute education” were treated. Now most people have it, but what’s the point? I'm not talking about 100% of people, but this is a strongly developing trend. Who will work, teach and treat in 20-30 years?

Territory of “aspirants”

Well, despite the losses in education, I want to acknowledge the fact that there are a sufficient number of people living in the Caucasus who are striving to “achieve” something. Probably the most shining example- Dagestan, over thirty nations! live in a relatively small area. And, by the way, by nature, they are fighters, wrestling is not only a sport, but also a kind of life ideology, if you like. Everyone is fighting for a place in the sun, preferably on a soft chaise longue and with an umbrella. Maybe it's just the southern temperament.

Hospitality.

I understand that for residents central Russia These words may seem strange, but! There are still many hospitable people in the Caucasus. Yes, many peoples have “sewn into” the theme of hospitality, a kind of “hospitality gene”. Moreover, this is best manifested when a guest comes from afar. The guest will be offered the maximum possible comfort, will try to surprise, amuse and keep the stomach regularly nourished. Unfortunately, I cannot speak for all regions, but this is especially felt in Abkhazia, Georgia and Kabarda. Moreover, in some of the regions listed above, you will be presented with history and stories in such a way that you will believe in both the green dragon and that the companyChopard(Swiss premium watch manufacturer class) was founded by the Kabardian family of Shaparovs. And here there is no need to be upset or offended about such fantasies, take it as a certain part of traditions. In fact, everything is done for guests from the heart and the owners want every guest to leave in good mood, well-fed and pleasantly impressed by the quality of the time spent.

In reality, there are many factors, traditions and habits that unite the peoples of the Caucasus. A kind of unity in diversity. We are different, but so the same!

I don’t know what a comedy about Shurik would be like now, and in what incredible adventures he took part. Perhaps it would be low “Tazis” and showdowns with dancing in the central squares, well, like dancing, are there a lot of them? Lezginka. It seems to me that he would be such that he would meet the expectations of millions. They live quite well in the Caucasus normal people, with its own characteristics, there are good and bad, strong and weak, kind and evil, but understanding the incredible depth of the philosophy of the peoples of the Caucasus allows you to relax and enjoy all the gifts of our fertile land. I don’t know where else you will see such different mountains, waterfalls, valleys and wild rivers, where you will see two people stopping their cars in the center of the intersection just to say hello from the heart, where you will see so many Lada admirersPriora, where you can eat delicious shish kebab and other truly delicious dishes. True, we are different, and it is for this difference and uniqueness that I love my Caucasus! Everything here is real and I like it. I believe that the Caucasus is not a separate territory labeled “for Caucasians”; many ethnic groups live here. Not without problems, of course. We are nominally divided into subjects, but every small nation imagines itself as a hegemon that once owned territory from sea to sea (Well, the entire North Caucasus). And let it be a common land of the peoples inhabiting it, large and small, a land of goodness, peace and harmony!
