Lgov is a small city in the Kursk region, which is located on the banks of the Seim River. Not far from it are Kursk, Moscow and Maryino. It would seem that because of such a triangle, the quality of life should be at the highest level, but this was not the case. Perhaps this is due to the population (only 18,145 people live in it). The city itself is not noticeable and over time turns into an urban-type settlement or even an ordinary village.
Of course, not everything is so sad, you can find advantages everywhere. For example: at the bus station of this city there is a railway junction, there are a few working kindergartens in the area, but the situation with schools is not so dire (everyone seems to be working), but still. The local authorities seem to not pay any attention to this under the pretext: say thank you that there is something at all, it could be worse!
Now, to make everything clear, I’ll tell you about the city point by point.
About work
At one time there were many factories in the city: brick and reinforcement factories, which were suppliers of tiles and bricks throughout the Soviet Union; winery, sugar factories; bakery; a car repair depot and a meat processing plant, which tried to somehow breathe, but in the end collapsed.
In principle, only the canned milk plant remained alive and working, but at the moment it ceased to be Lgovsky, the local authorities simply resold it to Kursk. Perhaps it will be even better under the new control, because for the first time in the last ten years the territory of the enterprise was cleaned up and the walls were painted.
But what happened to those organizations that were listed above? Nothing! There were only walls left and those were broken. Everything inside was stolen and resold a hundred times already.
Are there any jobs left in the city? In principle, if you run around and find out about available vacancies, you can get a job, but it’s unlikely that the salary for a huge amount of work will suit anyone. For this reason, people go to Moscow to work.

In the second half of the 19th century. In connection with the construction of the Kursk-Kyiv (1868) and Bryansk-Kharkov (1897) railways, enterprises for processing agricultural products began to emerge in Lgov: sugar and distillery factories, lard-making factories, and soap-making pottery factories.
Since 1928, the district center of the Central Black Earth Region. Since 1934, food and flavoring industry enterprises have been built in Lgov.

About kindergartens
Children are, as they say, the flowers of life, but in order for them to grow and develop, and not turn into a herbarium, we need to monitor them and in every possible way direct them in the right direction. But how will parents raise their children if upbringing is not only about emotional, psychological and physical qualities, but also about fully providing for the child? At first glance, this is how everything should be, but it’s worth repeating: in order to earn money in this city, you have to work around the clock.
You can find an excuse: you don’t have time - send it to kindergarten, plus they will give you more useful and necessary knowledge there than at home. But it was not there! There are not so many kindergartens that are located within 100 kilometers. One at most.
By the way, in the city, abandonment is still practiced, for example: in Lgov 3 there are two kindergartens that no one needs, in which alcoholics and teenagers trying to assert themselves sit. Thank God, at least there are no drug addicts in the city.
Schools
What good can grow out of children who have seen ruins all their childhood. Oh, now readers will judge me and say that before everyone ran in the street, beat nettles with sticks, and everything was fine. To this I will answer that in the distant USSR there was no arbitrariness, every dog knew your child and in some sos-situations could tell you something!
And so, these children come to school and see that the teachers are trying to correct them, but it is not clear whether they will succeed.
In general, schools are probably the only thing the city can boast of. Educational institutions provide a complete and good basic education.
No matter how much I would like to write about this, they didn’t even notice it here! The second school, which is located on Lgov 1, will literally collapse soon. A serious and not at all small crack formed on the load-bearing wall of the building, due to which, in order to reduce the risk of collapse, any performances (New Year's matinees, etc.) were canceled.
And not only will the second school collapse soon, but also the residential buildings that stand on Liteinaya Street also suffer from numerous cracks into which you can actually stick your hand.

Post-secondary education
Well, there is no problem with this, in Lgov there is the Kursk Assembly College, which trains specialists in various fields, and the Medical College, which also trains future workers.
You can apply, as in all other institutions - on a budget and commercial basis. Also, for all academic merits, students are provided with financial rewards in the form of adding money to the scholarship.
After receiving secondary vocational or technical education, all former students are given the opportunity to enroll in a profile at a more highly qualified educational institution. Or teachers or the director can help former students find suitable job opportunities or even reassign them to another city where there are more serious career opportunities.

How Lgov is reanimated under Starovoit
Roman Vladimirovich Starovoyt is a Russian statesman, head of the Federal Road Agency (Rosavtodor) of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation since November 15, 2012.
So, as soon as he came to the post of governor, he immediately began to restore order in all the towns of the Kursk region. He himself began to travel around the entire area to see for himself where help was needed and what was not needed at all.
As a result of such checks, city leaders began to hang around. Roman Vladimirovich himself carefully monitors the situation in the region and at the slightest complaint (complaints can be sent to the official page of Roman Starovoit in VK) he reacts and corrects the mistakes made by representatives of local authorities.
From the very beginning, people thought that he would be blown away, but now they understand that if they do not interfere with him realizing his goals and projects, then after a certain period of time it will be possible to normalize life and restore at least half of the production that was before.
In art
Lgov was inspired by Nikolai Aseev’s poetic cycle “Kursk Territories” and the story “Town” by writer Vadim Safonov. Valentin Ovechkin’s essays “District Everyday Life”, many poems and the poetic book “About the boy Zhenya from the village of Nizhnie Derevenki” by Dmitry Kovalev were written on Lgov material. One of the main sources on the history of the region is the book of the hereditary local historian M. S. Lagutich “Lgov Stories” [30], revised and republished for the 855th anniversary of the city under the title “Provincial Chronicle. Lgov in the history of the Kursk region"[31]. Literary sources about Lgov are collected in the Library of the unofficial resource of the city of Lgov (unspecified)
(unavailable link). Archived on October 5, 2013. The city and its picturesque surroundings are depicted in the canvases of Evgeny Volobuev, Alexander Gorbachev, Dmitry Razin, Eduard Shepolukhin and other artists.
