"Gorky Park, Kazan" - this is how the name soundsTsPKiO them. AM Gorky in order to make it clear - it is about Kazan's attractions, in contrast to the world-famous Moscow. After all, Gorky Park in Moscow, like the Luxembourg Park in Paris, and Hyde Park in London, is a kind of visiting card of the capital.
But Kazan had the right to call it greenarrays, because Alexei Peshkov, who came here at the age of 16 with a dream of enrolling in Kazan University, lived here for 4 years - from 1884 to 1888. Naturally, he spent a lot of time in the city squares separated by the Arsky field and bearing the names of Russian and German Switzerland. The field, located in ancient times near the Kazan Kremlin, received its name in honor of the tract running along it from the Tatar town of Arsk to Kazan.
It is known not only that now the forestThe plantations that surrounded it were almost connected and bear the common name - Gorky Park. Kazan is famous for its opposition to the Moscow princes. It was here, in the Arskoye field, that a battle took place between the inhabitants of the city - the Kazanians - and the troops of Ivan the Terrible in 1552, which ended with the capture of Kazan. Here, in the Arskoye field, the troops of Emelian Pugachev were also grouped, as a result of which in July (10-11), in 1774, the Krasnoufimskaya fortress was taken and victory was won under Kangur. Therefore, in 1833 A. Pushkin visited these places, writing his "History of the Pugachev Riot".
Already in the XVIII century the city came close to the Arskfield, there began building and "cultivation" of wild groves stretching on both sides of the field. In the same area, the Kazanka River flows. All this has conditioned the settlement here both in those times, and now, of the rich inhabitants of the city.
And once on this place was, as they saytraditions, a very beautiful lime grove, and immediately after it began Arsky forest, and in those days he was dense. In a word, the places are wonderful, not in vain called Switzerland. At that time, obviously, it was the best praise - on the Seversky Donets, naturally, Donetsk Switzerland, there were Russian and German. The latter was called so because several German teachers from the Kazan University settled in its territory, behind the Arsky field and the cemetery. And then, and after, it differed from the "far-out Russian" part of the park with an inferior silence. The Germans, Dr. Vogel, found spring springs with clear and transparent water here - goodness and peace, poured into the air, attracted people who wanted to rest from the noise and fuss.
And already in those days the surrounding groves turned intoparks of Kazan with all the signs of the city's folk festivals - circus "Shapito" (mobile) with the fashionable then "gutta-percha" acrobats (in the image of "Gutta-percha boy", in which DV Grigorovich described the fate of the roving actors of that time) and wrestlers. There were show booths and swings, mechanical theaters and dog concerts, cockroach runs and other joys of the great folk places of festivals of pre-revolutionary Russia. Especially a lot of people gathered in the Trinity week - the Kazan hotels were packed with visitors, prosperous "catering".
Shrovetide week, perfectly shown by N.Mikhalkov in the "Barber of Siberia", did not concede to the popularity and attendance of parks with ice slides to his summer sister. So it was until 1917, and then the park for a long time was in desolation and quietly wild.
The Soviet government in the 30s drewattention to the rest of the townspeople, and in each regional center began to build CPKiO. In 1932, Neskuchny Garden in Moscow was reconstructed and named in honor of the famous proletarian writer Maxim Gorky. The central green urban array of the future capital of the Republic of Tatarstan was also given the name of Alexei Maksimovich, and he became known as Gorky Park. Kazan in 1936 completely rebuilt it in the spirit of happy pre-war Soviet times. Carousels with horses and “girls with a paddle”, rooms of laughter and giant swings, the attraction “Immelman” (older people still remember him) for lovers of adrenaline, as they say.
Any place of summer recreation of citizens necessarilyIt had a dance floor and an open stage. Gorky Park (Kazan) in this sense is no exception. The summer stage had an orchestral shell with very good acoustics, and it existed until the 90s of the last century. Wooden cinemas, which began work only with the onset of darkness, were also an integral part of parks built all over the country, in fact, of the same type, so that no one was hurt. That was Gorky Park.
Kazan went bankrupt even on a small cable car.the road. And here again people rushed. The park has become the most favorite vacation spot of the townspeople - all interesting events took place here. Concerts of pop stars in the open air, the demonstration of new Soviet feature films, which themselves were events. Here you could meet absolutely all the inhabitants of the city.
As for the holiday, every evening the youth soughtcities in parks of the country and, of course, in Gorky Park (Kazan). Everyone knew how to get, or rather walk, - Vakhitovsky district, where the park is located, is the historical center and the main city territorial-administrative unit of Kazan. Everything is close by, within walking distance of the Kazan Kremlin.
Ershova street bounds the southern part of the park,Vishnevsky - east, Podludnaya - north, and the western edge of the park is limited to the Suvorov College Since the formation of the Republic of Tatarstan in its capital and other cities, a construction boom began.
Could not change the central park.In addition to the emergence of new places and objects corresponding to the time, great changes have occurred with attractions. And the matter is not only in their appearance - in connection with the construction of the Millennium Bridge across the Kazanka River, a large area was torn away from the park, including an amusement area. They were not just taken out, they were thrown out, some were lying in the nearby ravines for a long time. But as time went on, Kazan changed greatly in connection with the Millennial City Action (in 2005, it turned 1000 years old) and the holding of the Universiade 2013 here. The work was done tremendously, and a new beauty, Kazan, appeared before the eyes of many thousands of fans. And in 2013, it was decided to recreate and reconstruct the park. Residents of Kazan greatly respect and honor the chief architect of the city, T. G. Prokofiev, under whose leadership, together with the NP “Preservation of City Parks and Squares”, work was done. That is why one of the new green public gardens in the center of the capital is named after her - Tatiana Corner.
I want to believe that soon you can seenew and restored old Gorky Park (Kazan). How to get to it, they know all the inhabitants of the city - any transport going to the center, will bring you to this pearl. Already, the object boasts many achievements of park culture, which are not inferior in terms of technical innovations and service maintenance to parks of western capitals.

Kazan does not lag behind its fellows in this,Gorky Park. Rental of bicycles, velomobiles, wheelchairs with bike trailers, tandems and everything related to “cycling” exists here in large numbers. The range of services is very diverse - you can take inventory by the day or for a certain period. Transformers TAGA, bikes Navigator, children's bikes, scooters and rollers - everything is in excellent condition. In addition, rental prices, benefits and fines are specified in advertisements of the park.
