Walking around the city. Part 1: The Legacy of the USSR

Hello friends! Today I want to share photos of our city, which were made specially for you! We live in Transnistria, and few people know about our Republic. Some remember us for the 1992 conflict, but they are probably a minority. Foreign reporters, when they come to us, try to show our country as the last fragment of the USSR. We decided to show it from all sides. Yes, much of the USSR still remains in our daily life, but much has already gone far ahead. Our walks will be divided into thematic records, and today we have a record about the same legacy that we inherited from the USSR. So, let's begin.
The first photo is the traditional House of Soviets and the bust of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin before him. As many know, before busts, monuments, honorary boards Lenin put in each settlement, in large - on several near the important administrative buildings. After the collapse of the USSR, many removed these monuments, but we have remained intact. As you can see, there is a star on the spire - another symbol of the USSR.

Let's continue. This - the bust of Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, the first person who flew into space. The bust is on the boulevard named after Gagarin. As can be seen in the photo, now there is a restoration of the roadway on the boulevard and tracks. Every year, on the day of astronautics (we celebrate it on April 12), a sports relay race is held along the city's main street in honor of this holiday. Also the name of Gagarin is engineering and technical college and there is Gagarin Street.

It is a state theater of drama and comedy. He bears the name of Nadezhda Stepanovna Aronetskaya, a Soviet actress, teacher, director. The theater itself was commissioned in the early 1930s and survived more than one reconstruction. During the Great Patriotic War the building was badly damaged, and after reconstruction it was put into operation only in 1963.

Below is a series of photos of one of the oldest houses in our city. As you can see - this is a two-story building, the date of construction of which we could not find. Just look how beautiful the stucco under the window looks! Now so do not, more and more buildings are almost entirely made of metal and glass.

Now move to our city park. The park is called "Victory" and was opened in 1947. The park is one of the main vacation spots for the townspeople besides the river and the embankment.
![IMG_20170617_133007.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUDmdB11pDdFPopg2qSc3msfFSRFJXLGguJgQgv2aPvzs/IMG_20170617_133007.jpg)

Initially, the park area was fenced with an iron forged fence, but in 2015 it was decided to dismantle it, which was done. There were only columns at the entrance and these cups on the sides.
![IMG_20170617_132901_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXyqqUqonMwcbcaWerZbAdBrRb9BSrWsCmfkB8R9inx2H/IMG_20170617_132901_HDR.jpg)

In the park there is a monument to Kotovsky Grigory Ivanovich - a Russian revolutionary. According to the stories of more adult citizens, initially he had a saber in his left hand, but unknown people stole it. Saber was made and placed back, and then stolen and her. The third attempt ended with a similar result and it was decided to leave the monument as it is. Now the monument is a favorite place for pigeons, as seen in the photo.
![IMG_20170617_132235.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQNRZ96raYBhJnaztqhVTKSgkbQQ4T7XHkzCGDKbJm9Nv/IMG_20170617_132235.jpg)

Another of the attractions of the park is the Ferris wheel. Now it does not work, but just a couple of years ago we skated on it, looking at the city from a height. Since today was cloudy weather, the photos turned out to be a bit like Pripyat near Chernobyl.
![IMG_20170617_130812.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ5pyB2BV4GGwdaNUmp9kniRnwPXN1y4HySr9zJWJ4Zds/IMG_20170617_130812.jpg)

That's all for today. This was the first part of our walks. If you have any questions or suggestions - write in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them!
All photos are made on the phone mi5s, so the quality may not be exactly what you would like to see. In the future, as I collect on a camera, I think I can make you happy.

Have a nice day!
