Презентация "The City I am Proud of"

Author of the presentation: Maria Sergeeva

City of Novokuznetsk is one of the oldest cities in Siberia. It is called the southern capital of Kuzbass. The city is located on the left and right banks of the river Tom. The history of our city is closely connected with the history of joining and development of Siberia by the Russian state.

The city of Novokuznetsk was founded in the spring of 1618 as Kuznetsky Ostrog, which was on the hill on the right Bank of the Tom river just below where it makes a sharp turn North and falls into the river Kondoma.

A wooden fort, which appeared in 1618 on the Tom River, became one of the most important supporting posts of the Russian Empire beyond the Urals. Gradually the settlements began to grow around the fortress, and the post of resistance became the town, which since 1622 acquired the name of Kuznetsk.

This house is built in the XIX century. In the street where the house is located, there were merchants ' houses, but now they are gone. Only the house of the merchant Fonarev is preserved. This building is the most unique in our city. It is a hut built of wood and covered with art carving. At the moment it is in dire need of restoration.

The building is one of the first houses. It is in a unique Siberian Baroque style. A few years later the government purchased the Treasury and the house was rebuilt. In the Soviet period it served as a post office. In 1992 the building was reconstructed.

It is the sacred place of the city. It is a place of memory of all citizens which were perished during Great patriotic war. The eternal flame was lit in 1957 in honour of all the soldiers of the war 1941-1945.

Almost half of all military production of the country was made from the Kuznetsk armor: they are 50.000 tanks, 45.000 aircrafts and 100 million of shells.

Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral

Built in the distant XVII century this cathedral is the tallest building in Siberia. The temple was built during the 43 years that have influenced its architecture. After the red revolution it suffered significant damage and looting. In 1991 it was restored and works until today.

The Cathedral was built as a memorial in honor of the Nativity of Christ, it was erected in memory of the 67 miners who died on the 2-nd of December 1997 at the mine "Zyryanovskaya". The Cathedral serves as the Kuzbass Orthodox Church Seminary.

It is state Autonomous cultural institution in the city of Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo region, one of the oldest theatres of Kuzbas, an important center of cultural life of the city.

The dream of the revolutionary poet V.V. Mayakovsky and thousands of Novokuznetsk citizens about the Garden city is becoming true. In summer the city is sinking in greenery and flowers.
