* Tambov will be remembered for its leisurely atmosphere, ancient monuments, the embankment and cozy squares. I will tell you who founded our city and under what circumstances, how it grew and developed. I will show you one of the tallest bell towers in Russia, the Tambov Arbat and unusual monuments. I will reveal the secrets of local history and do everything to make you want to come back to us more than once. We will visit the founding site of the city and see the first stone cathedral of Tambov. We will admire one of the tallest bell towers in the country and taste the water from the holy chapel. And walking along the ancient streets — Bolshaya Astrakhanskaya, Dvoryanskaya, Dolgaya and Gymnasicheskaya — we will consider the charming mansions of the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition, we will take a look at several pretty squares and walk along the embankment of the Tsna River. I'll also show you unusual monuments to a Tambov peasant and a local treasurer. You will follow the development of Tambov in different eras, feel the atmosphere of the past and hear about the events that influenced the appearance of the city. I will tell you what unites Tambov with St. Petersburg, in which works of Lermontov it is mentioned and why one of its main universities bears the name of Derzhavin. You will also learn how Serafim Sarovsky, Rachmaninov, Agapkin, Khalilov, Vernadsky and Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya are connected with our region.
