A Russian city with a soul… No one would guess what was going on. Someone will put forward their assumptions. And it is beautiful Samara. Glory area, Vertoletka, shrines, and historical monuments-all this attracts many tourists from different cities and even countries.
The Territory became part of Moscow Kingdom in the XVI century, when the ruler has attached to the country of the Astrakhan and Kazan khanates. Now the true indigenous inhabitants of the city can be counted on the fingers, as in the XVII-XVIII centuries. here began to settle foreigners and migrants from other regions. It is believed that because of this there were such a nation as the Germans of the Volga region.
Since then, as there moved here the Bavarians and other foreigners, the rulers of the great powers noticed a strong economic recovery. In the mid-nineteenth century Samara became one of the richest cities and regions of the country. During the reign of the rulers, the peasants lived here very well, so when the Bolsheviks came during the Civil war, they met fierce resistance. This conflict is known in history as Capanna war.
In 1935, Samara was renamed – Kuibyshev. And wore it until 1990 During the second world war the city became the most important city of the Union. The government here evacuated factories and diplomatic missions. If in 1941, Moscow would have remained under the “protection” Germany, the functions of the capital assumed it would Kuibyshev. Since that time the Samara region was not spared. It has undergone a lot. Now the administration of the Samara region, residents and tourists notice a decline in development.
