PAVLOVSKY POSAD

I wandered around the site and decided to write about my hometown - Pavlovsky Posad. The townspeople affectionately call him Pavlik. You can find a lot of information on the Internet about the fact that our city is very old, with a rich history. There you will also see colorful photographs of our attractions. I, as a person who has lived in Pavlovsky Posad all my life, want to tell about it to those who are just planning to move to us. Moreover, I will write everything as it is, without embellishment.

I love my city, which is probably why I didn’t go to live in Moscow. Small towns have a different rhythm of life, noticeably different from the capital. I say this so confidently because I go to work in Moscow every day. It takes more than two hours to travel one way. It doesn’t seem very far from Pavlovsky Posad to Moscow – 68 kilometers. But if you go by car, the journey can take more than three hours.

Traffic jams on the roads to Moscow are our problem. In the morning and evening, as well as on weekends, all highways (Gorkovskoye, Egoryevskoye, Nosovikhinskoye highways) are closed. Therefore, in order not to be late for work, you have to take the train. This pleasure is dubious. It is not always possible to find a place and sometimes you have to stand on your feet for almost an hour and a half. There are express trains to Moscow (they are more expensive), they go faster and there are always seats, but I leave earlier, otherwise I won’t be able to get to work in time. The trains can be very stuffy, especially in the summer. I write in detail about all this for a reason. If you decide to come to us for permanent residence, then first think about where you will work.

Work and salaries

In Soviet times, there were many textile industry enterprises in Pavlovsky Posad. Everyone knows the woolen Pavlov Posad shawls that made our city famous throughout the world. Now things are different. Many textile factories have closed, and in their place are now shopping centers on Lenskaya. I have nothing against the shopping center itself. The stores are excellent, the selection is good, the prices are good. Yes, but there used to be a factory on this site, where my grandmother also worked. The factories were closed, and no one thought about where people would work now. So we have to go to work in Moscow. You arrive home in the evening at half past eight. There is almost no time left for home and family. But in Moscow at least the salaries are a little higher. Where to work in our city?

Stores are constantly looking for salespeople. But the salary is 15-18 thousand, how can you live on that kind of money? You can get a job as a hairdresser. Almost all men who have their own cars work in taxis. Including my husband. But a trip around the city costs 120-150 rubles. There are a lot of cars, not very many clients. So calculate how much you can earn per day, because you also have to pay the company where the taxi driver works. It’s good if you come across a client who will take a taxi to Moscow. This is a profitable order.

Of the old industrial enterprises in the city, there are Exiton, a worsted mill, “Bereg” in Bolshie Dvory, an aluminum mill, a spinning, silk and clothing factory. There is also a PATP (motor transport enterprise). Packers and movers are constantly needed among the new ones at Sibirsky Bereg. But the salaries there are also meager. Now, if you are a carpenter or roofer, you will definitely find a job. In the outskirts of the city there are many dachas where new houses are being built. Yes, they are also being built in villages. The city has many construction markets and stores with building materials.

But if you do not take into account the difficulties with work, then it is quite possible to live in Pavlovsky Posad. We have both modern multi-storey buildings and private houses. There is a lot of greenery, in the spring the city is all in bloom. We have a lot of stores. There are large chain supermarkets “Magnit”, “Atak”, “Pyaterochka”, “Dixie”, “FixPrice”. There are many beauty salons in the city, so there are no queues.
