The huge Orthodox complex “In the Name of the Resurrection of Christ” surrounds the central square. This temple with five domes is the largest in the city. Its height reaches 59 meters, and the bell tower located near it is 62 meters. Near the temple you can take a walk in the first park in Russia Slavic writing and culture.

The most interesting of the sculptures is the monument to the “Discoverers of the Ugra Land”. This is a triangular pyramid located on the highest hill of the city - 80 meters. The height of the pyramid itself is 62 meters. Each of the faces of the monument symbolizes a separate era - ancient Ugra, the time of the conquest of Siberia by Ermak and the development of Siberian oil and gas fields. You can even go inside the three-story pyramid. There, a restaurant, a museum and an observation deck are open for tourists, with stunning views of the confluence of the Ob and Irtysh rivers. Be sure to admire the pyramid in the dark - the unique beautiful illumination will amaze your imagination; it uses a special computer program that has no analogues in our country.

It is also worth seeing the monument “Bronze Symbol of Ugra”, which was opened in 2005. This is a 12-meter figure of a woman, symbolizing Ugra - the maternal principle that unites the indigenous peoples of the North. The sculpture “Assol Korabelnaya”, installed near the river station, looks very touching. This is a young girl with a handkerchief clutched in her hand, looking into the river distance.

The Fabergé Egg Fountain, located in front of the Northern Gifted Children's Arts Center, represents the precious egg of the jeweler Faberge.

One of the favorite places for tourists in Khanty-Mansiysk is, of course, the Archeopark. This is a huge park with sculptures depicting Pleistocene animals and Paleolithic people.

In 1938 in the district there were 100 agricultural associations and 132 PPOs, in 1940 - respectively. 285 and 62. During the same period, the construction of settlements was launched, which contributed to the transition of the Khanty and Mansi to a sedentary lifestyle. Along with tradition. New industries (fishing, hunting, reindeer husbandry) developed - livestock farming, fur farming. Since 1930, people began to arrive in the district special settlers, hands which are mainly the future Khanty-Mansiysk was being built, many were settling down. us. points, the Samarovsky fish cannery was built. plant and other enterprises.

02 One of the main attractions of the city is the so-called Archeopark, also known as the Valley of Mammoths.

03 At the foot of the mountain on the banks of the Irtysh there is a fairly large herd of mammoths.

04 The fact is that mammoths once lived on the territory of present-day Khanty-Mansiysk, their bones are still found.

05 In principle, mammoths lived in many places and their bones were found in many places, but in Khanty-Mansiysk they were made a national treasure and one of the symbols of the city

06 Even the hockey club playing in the MHL, the younger brother of Ugra playing in the continental hockey league, is proudly called “Mammoths Ugra”

07 After all, the city has no history as such, so we have to make mammoths the historical face of the city.

08 The mammoth sadly looks at modern Khanty-Mansiysk

09 Overall, the mammoth composition is very impressive and looks absolutely stunning at night when illuminated

10 Smoothly move to the center.

11 In the middle of the central square there is a rotunda fountain

12 Next to the fountain is the largest shopping center of Khanty-Mansiysk - Gostiny Dvor, built in the form of a tent

13 They called it that, apparently, by analogy with the shopping centers of St. Petersburg, Ufa and other cities. But there they are called that due to the fact that these buildings actually originally housed guest courtyards. What happens here is unclear. They would also call the district administration building the Kremlin.

14 The building is considered controversial and ambiguously assessed. I don’t know what’s controversial about it. In the center of any other city it might look like a tooth in the nose, but here it is more than appropriate. On the walls there is a beautiful mosaic on a northern theme

15 It is not for nothing that the building was built in the form of a tent. In "modern" mall"You can only take a shit while squatting

16 Nearby is some kind of administrative building of a semicircular shape

17 Right there, on the central square, is the entrance to Victory Park

18 Bronze busts of heroes of the Soviet Union from all over the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug are installed on the Alley of Warriors

19 The park itself is a birch grove and is very beautiful at night...

20 ... and during the day

21 In the center of the park is the Motherland, bending over a killed warrior

22 The complex was opened for the 50th anniversary of the Victory.

23 The T-34, found by Surgut search engines, is located right there in the park. However, the district government prohibited the installation of the tank in Surgut, having decided to install it in Khanty-Mansiysk

24 The district administration building is right next to it.

25 This is the first remake I have encountered in the Stalinist Empire style. Neostaliance, so to speak :)

26 In front of the entrance - a massive stele

27 We cross the road and see the so-called. Bronze symbol of Ugra

28 At the foot of the column there are three groups of historical figures. The first - the period of development of Siberia

29 The second - the heyday of imperialist power

30 Third - the builders of communism who came here to look for oil

31 Above all of them is a woman with outstretched arms (apparently, “Ugra”)

33 The crossing is equipped with the latest technology: surveillance cameras and even an elevator for the disabled

34 Apparently a worker

35 In the exemplary crossing itself there are posters for events taking place in the city

36 But the main achievement, in my opinion, is the presence of this:

37 We leave the passage and find ourselves on some kind of cultural square. It houses: an arts center for gifted children of the north, a district library, an art museum and other similar institutions.

38 In the middle of the square is the Faberge fountain

39 Library

40 At the entrance, the potential reader is greeted by a feathered creature with offspring

41 District Art Gallery (by the way, contains originals by Repin, Aivazovsky, Surikov, Levitan and others)

42 There is also a girl with a tambourine on the square

43 Not far from the square there is another unusual colorful building - the gallery-workshop of the artist Raishev

44 A car interchange is formed in front of the building (as in any self-respecting city)

46 The Museum of Nature and Man, amazing in scale and internal content. Written about his exhibitions

47 Near the museum there is a sculpture depicting a duel between a bear and a hunt

48 The bear obviously symbolizes nature, and the Khant symbolizes man

49 Nearby is another sculptural couple. They have a high-tech Ugra-classic concert hall in the background

50 It contains several concert halls of varying capacities

51 "In Ugra-classic, of course, the most modern concert equipment is installed, a huge retractable movie screen and even its own organ from the famous German company with keys trimmed with mammoth ivory"

52 Opposite the concert hall is another park. The entrance to it is a semicircular arch

53 The park is very pleasant, it has many well-thought-out details, made in the same style. Bench

55 Lattice under a tree

57 In the thick of a birch grove there is a special bench

58 It has a larger capacity and is decorated with butterflies

59 There is also an artificial lake in the park with a rotunda gazebo on the island, but in September there was no water in the lake.

60 A bridge leads to the island to the gazebo

61 On the main alley there is a monumental fountain “Ob and Irtysh”

62 Sculptures of representatives of the animal world of Ugra are placed on the granite rock

68 Some herons

70 Bear with fish

71 Behind the fountain, the sovunya holds a scroll with a seemingly ancient text about the city at the confluence of the Irtysh and Ob, trying to create the impression of Khanty-Mansiysk as an ancient city (with a rich history)

72 Fish were also spotted here and there on the fountain.

74 “On the branches of a six-meter metal tree sit white doves, symbolizing the Finno-Ugric peoples and seated there by the presidents of Finland, Hungary and Estonia, as well as representatives of the delegations who arrived at the congress of Finno-Ugric peoples. In order to rise to a six-meter height after securing the birds, the tree was equipped lifting mechanism."

75 Another epic sculpture at the Langal cinema

76 Next to the main cinema, there is the so-called "Yugorsky Kinoprokat" is a small cinema hall in which it would be logical to show all kinds of arthouse and non-format films, but the repertoire is the same as that of "Langala", just with a delay

77 At the entrance there are two old movie cameras

80 The building is certainly very unusual and attractive from the outside...

81...and inside

82 Vladimir Igoshev, in fact, was a Muscovite, he traveled almost the whole world, painted pictures everywhere. Including, he made artistic visits to the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Now for this he is considered a national artist here, and they were so grateful to him for the fact that he once painted several canvases depicting the village of Khanty-Mansiysk, that they built him a whole house-museum, in which there is even a master’s study. If he wishes, he can always come here and paint new masterpieces. This is what was planned in Khanty-Mansiysk. But, unfortunately, Vladimir Igoshev died in 2007, having only managed to attend the opening of the museum.

83 Exactly opposite the house-museum there is a shiny metal building of an impossible shape, guess what it is :)

84 And this, dear friends, is the chess academy.

85 The building houses chess clubs for children and adults and a cafe.

86 The building is completely covered with metal scales and shimmers beautifully at night...

87 ... in various colors

88 Since purely externally the building has nothing in common with chess, chessmen dropped off near the parking lot

89 There are also large figures, a board and even a clock in the hall

90 On the margins of the huge chessboard there are paintings of famous chess players who came here for the World Chess Olympiad

92 The building, as always, is unusual; at the entrance there is a monument to Farman Salmanov

93 Farman Kurbanovich, a native of Baku, is the discoverer of Siberian oil

94 In addition to Salmanov, at the entrance to the museum there is a certain glass structure on a geological theme

95 Exactly opposite - Ugra State University

96 The University turned 10 this year

97 At the main entrance, as expected, there is a thematic sculpture - Socrates and Plato

98 Sports complex YSU

99 Right behind the university the so-called Samarovsky Chugas is a fairly large piece of real taiga in the city center.

100 Chugas is translated from Khanty as “island on land” and is a hill with steep slopes in the middle of swamps. To make it more convenient to travel natural area wooden stairs were created, which were in disrepair at the time of my visit.

101 On the slopes of the Samarovo Chugas, close to the city center, an Orthodox complex “In the name of the Resurrection of Christ” was organized. At the base of a long staircase equipped with fountains, Cyril and Methodius meet us.

102 At the top is the Resurrection Cathedral, which very impressively faces the stairs not through the main entrance, but at the corner

104 Open from above beautiful views to a city that turns out to be very small

105 Angel on the roof of the church administration building

106 You can drive right to the entrance to the temple by car. The dome of Gostiny Dvor is visible in the distance

107 Bell Tower

108 A couple more sculptures of Tobolsk metropolitans

110 General view

111 We are transported to another part of the city, where on a similar chugas there is an open-air museum of folk architecture of the Khanty and Mansi "Torum Maa". Familiar stairs on steep slopes

114 Minilabaz

116 Iconic wooden sculpture

117 Sanctuary. Sacrificial place

118 Sacred barn for spirits

120 Let's continue the theme of the mythology of the Khanty and Mansi on Dzerzhinsky Street, where a number of corresponding sculptures are installed.

121 The objects of worship of the Ob Ugrians were the owners of forests and waters, individual tracts and rivers, idols made of wood, stone or metal. Here we see an image of wooden idols we have already seen

122 Creation of the earth. According to the myth, the loon pulled out a lump of silt from the bottom of the ocean, which then expanded to the size of the earth.

123 In the middle world lives "Mother Kaltash" - the many-faced goddess of motherhood

124 People's lives are controlled by the "Watcher of the World"

125 Forest spirits are masters of the forest

126 Spirit of Water - "Water Prince-Lord"

127 After a long winter, a “heavenly maiden” flies to people in the guise of a crow, heralding the onset of spring and the crow festival

128 Continuing the theme of small architectural forms. From the central square almost to the very outskirts of the city (by the way, this is not much at all - less than a kilometer) there were groups of people with various umbrellas

129 These, apparently, are letting a bird out of a cage

131 These saw a UFO

132 ... or, at worst, an airship

133 These are fighting the wind

135 The sculptures reminded me very much of Yekaterinburg, and indeed:

136 More from sculpture. Monument to the victims political repression, some kind of indistinct

137 People have been exiled to the territory of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug since the times of the Decembrists

138 Another epic monument - "Fire of Sports Glory of Ugra"

139 Inside the building there are slabs with the names of famous athletes of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. A fire burns in a bowl hanging on ropes from above during sporting events. Apparently it looks quite impressive, but the fire was not burning during my visit. This means that the hockey match “Ugra” - “Severstal” is not a sufficient sporting event))).

140 Let's walk through typical Khanty-Mansiysk architecture. Journalist's House

141 School No. 1

142 The school is very huge. This is what the other end looks like:

143 While walking around the city, I noticed a rather impressive round glass structure. Upon approaching, it turned out that it was a kindergarten

144 Moreover, this is just one of its buildings - “Central”

145 In addition to it, there is also “Fairytale”...

146 ... and "Flower"

147 While I was photographing “Flower” and “Fairytale”, a security guard came out of “Central” and forbade me to take photographs. To my questions about the reasons for the ban, the guard could not find an answer for a long time, after which the following was born in his brilliant brain: “The kindergarten is very beautiful, what if you take a photo of it and post it on the Internet, and some idiots see it and want to organize a terrorist attack. Then children!" After some bickering, I demonstratively took a few more shots and left.

148 Let's continue. They say that during the rural period of the history of Khanty-Mansiysk, there was one interesting building here - a fire tower. In memory of this, a new tower was built here, with a siding roof and double-glazed windows.

149 Actually, with the exception of the above-mentioned structures, Khanty-Mansiysk basically still remains a village

150 The most luxurious new buildings are adjacent to wooden huts

151 And this is considered normal. Residents of wooden houses install plastic windows and live as if nothing had happened

152 House with stars

153 Someone is drying fish...

154 Someone is guarding the territory with a dog...

155 Someone installed new gates, but forgot to remove the old ones...

156 Someone's barn is leaning...

157 Someone has a house with a mezzanine, so to speak...

158 And someone has a mansion

159 Someone has a dynamic house number

160 Does anyone actually live on Patrice Lumumba Street?

161 All around are the essential features of the village: bottled gas...

162 ... and of course speakers!

163 Let me remind you: all this splendor is right in the city center, mixed with pretentious new buildings

164 A dog sleeps peacefully near a weed bed made from a wheel

165 Typical store

166 In a word - village

167 Let’s turn our attention to what the Khanty-Mansiysk people are proud of and what the local authorities are promoting..

168 Let's continue

169 Initiative local residents are not far behind:

173 That's all, actually.

I’ve never written such long posts, I hope there are people who read everything to the end, and if some of them also liked it, then I’m just immensely happy :)
