SAMARA
Samara, known as Kuybyshev from 1935 to 1991, lies on the banks of the Volga River, the largest in Europe. Founded in 1586 as a defensive outpost, it soon developed into a major trading center for the whole of the Volga region in Russia's southeastern territories, and today is noted for its contributions to cationindustry, including the automotive industry and the aerospace industry. During World War II, Samara became a “second capital” of the USSR as all government departments and diplomatic corps were moved there from Moscow. A few kilometers from Samara lies the National Park “Samarskaja Luka”, that is one of the most stunning in the world. In Samara you’ll be able to enjoy a splendid panoramic view of the Zhiguli Mountains, the highest in the central European part of Russia. This perfect combination of the riverside and mountain picturesque views creates that unique atmosphere of safe, friendly and welcoming environment.
