* Let's start with the largest Finno-Ugric settlement in the world. This is the famous Idnakar on Mount Soldyr. Let's listen to the legend about Batyr Donda and his daughter-in-law Ebga (let's speculate who is the abuser and gaslighter in this medieval drama?)
Let's go for a walk around the central square of the city, which is called Freedom. Since the time of Catherine the Great, it has been the apple of the city's eyes. Let's look at the radial fan layout, let's walk along a piece of the famous Siberian highway. Along the way, we will tell you about how the grandfather of the composer Tchaikovsky (and Glazovsky gorodnichy at the same time) fought organized crime here.
We'll stroll through the green squares, admire the manicured streets and snow-white sculptures of the "old" district. Glazov is also made a real city by the largest number of Stalin-era buildings in Udmurtia. We are exploring the secrets of the real pearl of the "Stalinist Empire" - the cultural center "Russia".
Let's admire the Glazovsky Skyscraper, the main building of the Chepetsky Mechanical Plant, a pioneer of the USSR nuclear industry. Thanks to the Glazov factory, it could become a real metropolis! At the end of the Soviet era, a "new district" (Levoberezhye-1) began to be built, which was considered one of the best in the USSR. Ideal from the point of view of urban planning practice, with its "Glazovsky Broadway", "Carlson house" and "hyperbolic paraboloid", the area is a must-visit!
Glazov is a true bearer of the capital's culture. The Parafraz Theater is one of the key brands of Glazov and Udmurtia. Let's try to understand how the theater of a small town became a "cultural phenomenon" of all-Russian magnitude. Olga Knipper, a native of our city, was also the muse and only wife of the great short story writer Anton Chekhov. We have our own GUM and TSUM and the coolest Ice Palace in Udmurtia, the ninth in the Soviet Union. And even our own "Tsoi wall" (which we will definitely stand at).
