Different locations will talk about different aspects of city life:
- Somewhere talk about the founding era.
- Somewhere it's about the times of Peter the Great.
- Somewhere about the contributions of our fellow countrymen to science or the arts.
- So we will cover the main areas of Voronezh's life.
In four hours we will be able to:
- present the city's role in world history;
- estimate the residents' contribution to the treasury of national culture;
- determine its place in the national consciousness of kind russians.
At the end of the tour, there will be a special bonus for all participants personally from me;)
The main highway of Voronezh. Home to the aristocracy of the 18th and 20th centuries. An elite part of the city over the centuries.
Everything is clear here :)
We will hear a cautionary tale about why the phrase "the train has left" is now perceived ambiguously in the Lithuanian capital :)
In addition to everything else, there will also be a crazy, at first sight, story about the contribution of French 18th-century white emigrants to Russian art. We'll also talk about whose portraits were considered a sign of good taste among the Russian aristocracy.
We will understand why the word "Voronezh" still makes the Magyars nervous.
To appreciate the scale of the city, you have to admire the view of Voronezh, the left bank, the Voronezh Reservoir and all the bridges.
Enjoying the moisture of the fountains on a stroll from the Concert Hall to Pokrovsky Cathedral is a must. The experience wouldn't be complete without it!
The cultural centre of the city. Four cinemas and seven theatres have been built within a 100-metre radius. What other city can boast such a concentration of cultural life?
We will discuss what happened to the Voronezh spire, which was designed by architect Lev Rudnev to be no worse than the famous Salisbury spire, which attracted many tourists from all over the world :)
It's not even so much about Voronezh's literary bohemia as it is about Voronezh residents who have received Nobel prizes in various fields. From literature to physics.
Who, where, when, how and why founded the fortress of Voronezh? What was Voronezh like? Who were its first inhabitants? And why did the Zaporozhye Cossacks burn it down?!
Where did Baron Karl Mannerheim's amorous adventures lead? What did Fidel Castro, Reza Pahlavi and Ludwig Svoboda do here? What other men and beasts have made their mark in our part of the world?
How did Voronezh become the cradle of the Russian navy? Who invented the "Normandy landing" before it became mainstream? What church walls remember Peter the Great, St. Mitrophan Voronezh, hetman Ivan Mazepa, traveler Vitus Bering? What were all these people doing in the same company? Where was Russia's first admiralty? How was the first Russian battleship Goto Predestination organised? The scale of the madness going on can only be realised on Admiralty Square! :)
- The presentation of Voronezh takes the form of a dialogue. It will not be a monotonous lecture of university format. The list of sites is very tentative. Depending on logistics, the beginning and the end of the tour. It is all negotiated in advance. Something may be added, something may be dropped, also depending on the logistics and the starting and finishing point of the tour.
- It is possible to team up with another tourist with his or her agreement.
