Perm is an excellent example of a city (and, frankly speaking, there are few such cities in Russia) that, with the help of its residents and assistants, completed a “reset” on time and completely. If you allow me, members of the KVN team “Parma” were responsible for “public relations” back in the early 2000s: now famous actress Svetlana Permyakova, director Zhanna Kadnikova, actor Nikolai Naumov, stand-up comedians and perhaps the main creatives of the famous TV channel Oleg Vereshchagin and Gavriil Gordeev. In the 2010s, some of these cheerful and extraordinary people, united in a creative group, created the television series “Real Boys”, which shocked the “right” moviegoers both with its theme and in a special way filming and presentation, and causes a storm of the most controversial statements from critics. At the same time, a considerable part of the country’s population, in principle, recognizes that such a city exists.

Despite the plot about someone who cares little about his moral character young man, the series is officially recognized as a cultural heritage of the Perm region. Moreover, recognition happened after the local “cultural revolution”. Because in Perm, in terms of culture, they care not only about innovators. The city maintains its architectural monuments in good condition. Active theaters hold world-famous festivals. New sculptures appear regularly - a tribute to the memory of significant events and great personalities of the Kama region. They say that hotels here are rarely idle. What the editors of Localway invite you to check out, and at the same time, although the city was built very logically - wide streets run parallel to the Kama, and cozy alleys connect them - presents to your attention its own convenient route through Perm, which knows how to surprise.

Bakery/Pastry Shop, Cafe

The creator of “Perm happiness” was the artist Boris Matrosov.

Big red letters that form such a life-affirming slogan have become one of the most popular objects for photo sessions, and simply a must-visit place for every tourist.

The famous Perm architect Rudolf Karwowski worked on the construction project. In 1957–1959, a large-scale restoration of the building was carried out, which made it possible to increase its area by one and a half times, while maintaining its original appearance.

One of the oldest theaters in the country proudly bears the name of the genius of Russian classics P.I. Tchaikovsky, all of whose musical and dramatic creations - 10 operas and 3 ballets - were presented on the Perm stage. Today the theater's repertoire consists of both masterpieces of world opera and ballet, as well as undeservedly forgotten musical works. At the same time, the theater has always been distinguished by its non-standard approach to staging works of academic art, mastering modern material, bright and large-scale art projects.

It should be noted that this was one of the most comfortable hotels in the city, characterized by a high level of technical equipment for that time: there was electricity, running water and water heating. The hotel also had a first-class restaurant. Naturally, the guests of the establishment were very important people. “Royal Numbers” gained greater fame at a difficult and turning point for the country. In 1918 he lived here younger brother Nicholas II - Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich, serving exile in the Perm province.

On June 12, 2009, at the Ural Hotel, opposite the Central Department Store, the symbol depicted on the coat of arms of Perm was installed. Even in its first version, approved by Catherine II on July 17, 1783, a silver bear was depicted, which signified the wild nature of the inhabitants; on the back of the animal there was a gospel and a silver cross - enlightenment through Christianity. The bear, as a symbol of natural wealth, “lived” on the coat of arms until 1967, and in 1998 it returned in artistic form.

A walking bear occupies an area of ​​3.5 square meters. The total weight of the monument is 3.5 tons. The authors of the project joke that the idea of ​​the sculpture is based on the idea of ​​foreigners that bears walk along the streets of Russian cities. The artist is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia and the International Association of Arts UNESCO, monumental sculptor, native of Nizhny Tagil Vladimir Pavlenko. Immediately after installation, the Perm Bear became popular among adults and children. Tourists take pictures hugging and riding a bear.

On April 1, 2006, an unusual two-part sculpture appeared near house 27 on Komsomolsky Prospekt (Prikamye Hotel). The antique apparatus of the photographer's figure is aimed at a pedestal about two meters high with a round frame with large ears in which you can place your face and take a memorable photo. It is believed that the Permyak Salty Ears monument is now the most famous landmark of the city. It is most often found on postcards and magnets with views of Perm.

The Russkiy Mir magazine once called the composition the strangest monument in the country. Although the roots of the creation of a genre figure by Rustam Ismagilov go back to history. The traditional occupation of the region is commercial salt making. Workers were forced to carry large bags of salt on their shoulders. The heavy load often touched the ears, contact with salt caused skin irritation - and the ears became large and red. Thus, the nickname “Permyak salty ears” stuck with the ancient workers of Perm, and thanks to such attractions, today’s travelers can take photographs at the unusual pedestal as a souvenir and recognize interesting facts from history.

The next point on our route is Sibirskaya, 33. Here, in a house on the corner of Bolshaya Yamskaya and Sibirskaya streets, the famous Sergei Diaghilev spent the happy time of his youth. In the future - a theater reformer, initiator of the association of young artists "World of Art", organizer of the legendary "Russian Seasons" in Paris and historical tours of Russian ballet around the world. Museums directly related to the life and work of Sergei Pavlovich operate in the capitals of France, Great Britain and Monaco; there are such collections in Venice and Lausanne. In Russia, the first Diaghilev memorial museum was opened in his homeland - in Perm.

In 1894, by decision of the Perm City Duma, Diaghilev’s house was transferred to the school - today it is one of the oldest gymnasiums in the Kama region, which since 1992 has been named after the philanthropist. The museum, which forms a single complex with the gymnasium, contains rare exhibits. These are, first of all, documents and photographs of the Diaghilev family in the Perm period, household items from their summer estates in the Perm province (Nikolaevskoye and Bikbarda); unique photo, dated 1924, which depicts the impresario together with the French artist and playwright J.

Perm residents lovingly call it “grandmother rotunda” because it is one of the main attractions of the recognized cultural capital of the Urals. The rotunda was built in 1824 in honor of the arrival of Emperor Alexander I in Perm: monarchs rarely visited county towns, so they carefully prepared for such a meeting. In addition to tidying up the streets and house facades, they built a beautiful gazebo designed by architect Sviyazev. There is even a memorial plaque on the roof with the inscription: “To the Perm Society. September 24 days 1824."

The “gift” to the monarch is a structure of twelve columns, which are crowned by a semicircular roof with a forged metal spire in the middle. The columns and roof are decorated with elaborate carvings. The rotunda is located in the center of the park. Gorky, which once had the status of a country garden. From a distance it seems that the white structure is made of stone. But in fact, the rotunda is wooden, which at one time caused the gazebo to become very dilapidated. Fortunately, talented restorers were able to return the monument to its original ceremonial appearance.

Having delved into history, let us return to modern times. And the fastest way to do this is to drive a couple of stops public transport along Komsomolsky Prospekt towards Belinsky Street. Built by 1953 in the style of “Stalinist monumentalism,” the corner tower with a spire ending was conceived as the main building of the university in Perm. But at the end of four years of construction, the building was transferred to the State Security Committee. A ballistics laboratory was located on the ground floor of the building, in which experts shot the seized weapons. It is believed that city residents passing by thought: they were shooting at those arrested without trial. One way or another, Perm residents can tell more than one legend about the “tower of death.” Innocent people were allegedly tortured within the walls of the building, convicts were thrown from the top floor directly into the courtyard, and underground passages lead from the prison to other “terrible” places - the old Yegoshikha cemetery and a real prison - and all the builders were killed upon completion of the work in order to classify what was happening inside house No. 74 on Komsomolsky Prospekt.

There is another version of the origin of the original name for the departmental building: in Soviet times, not far from here there was a cinema in which the foreign film “Tower of Death” was shown. The poster suggested the original version to residents. One way or another, the history of this high-rise building has become a large part of Perm rumor - it even received a literary continuation. In 1997, local prose writer A. Subbotin’s story “Tower of Death” was published, in which a mysterious structure becomes the main scene of phantasmagoric events in the spirit of popular dystopias.

I am constantly confused about which peak is where and which mountains are the highest in our region. To remember, I decided to systematize the information I found. And some photos.


Let's first understand the geography of the Urals.

Geographically Ural Mountains are divided into five parts:

Polar Urals. Despite the harsh climate, the Polar Urals (especially its southern part) is quite popular among lovers of hiking, skiing, water and sports tourism. The popularity of the area is associated, among other things, with its good transport accessibility: the maximum distance of tourist routes from the Northern Railway stations (Sob, Kharp, 110 km (Polyarny village), Polyarny Ural, Khorota, Yeletskaya, Sivaya Maska, Abez, Shor) is not exceeds 60 km.

Northern Urals, one of the most remote and inaccessible areas of the Urals. It extends from the Kosvinsky Kamen and the neighboring Konzhakovsky Kamen (1569 m) in the south to the northern slopes of the Telposis massif.

Of particular interest are the remains of harder rocks - magnificent rocks and outcrops. The most famous of them are found on the mountains Man Pupu Nier, Torre Porre Iz, Muning Tump.

Perm region.

In the eastern part of the region (about 20% of its territory), where the Ural Mountains pass, the relief is mountainous: mid-mountain for the Northern Urals and low-mountain for the Middle Urals. The border between them is drawn at the foot of Mount Oslyanka (59º N).

Toponymy: the name of the mountain is given by the Tulymsky Kamen ridge of the same name, to which it belongs.

There are several “Holy Stones” in the Urals, most and revered by the Mansi is Sosvinsky Yalpyng-Nyor, located north of the Molebny Stone ridge in question. Ridges with similar names are sacred; the path to their peaks is closed to mere mortals. In this regard, there is another interpretation of their name - “Inaccessible, Satanic Stone”. The fact that the Molebny Stone ridge was a holy place for the Mansi is also evidenced by the name of the saddle between its chapter. the peaks are Purlahtyn-Sori, which means “The saddle on which sacrifices are made.” Ch. the tops of this ridge are also deified and animated, and are significant heroes in Mansi mythology; their names are translated as “Old Man Mountain” (Mount Oika-Chahl) and “Old Woman Mountain” (Mount Ekva-Chahl).
