From the history
Pokhvistnevo received city status in 1947. The need to form a settlement here arose in the century before last, when construction of the railway between Samara and Ufa began. A railway station opened in 1888, and a post office began operating a little later. In 1905, the railway station building was erected.
In the middle of the last century, exploration of oil deposits began on the territory of the present city of Pokhvistnevo (Samara Region). In connection with this activity, the village is rapidly developing. Thanks to this, the population grows and it is given city status. After 16 years it becomes a city of regional subordination.

The total land area of the city is more than 6.5 thousand hectares. The unconditional value of the city is its favorable natural and climatic conditions and good ecology.

In the east, Pokhvistnevo borders on the Orenburg region, in the south, west and north the lands of the Pokhvistnevo district are adjacent. |
We can proudly state that the city is still young (the population remained at the 1985 level of around 30 thousand people, and the proportion of people under working age, 15.5%, is higher than in the Samara region). The population of the urban district has a steady growth trend, both due to the demographic component and due to migration growth. The average age of a resident of the urban district is 39.8 years. We have extremely high labor potential and a developed market for highly qualified labor.
| Pokhvistnevo has always been considered a multinational city. It developed, attracting people from other territories. First of all, from nearby rural settlements, as well as from the territories of other countries. If we remember the time of development of the oil and gas industry in the settlement, then it must be said that then oil and gas workers from Azerbaijan and Grozny came to the city. In the early 1940s, quite a lot of repressed Soviet Germans lived in this city. Today, Russians, Chuvash, Tatars, Mordovians and representatives of other nationalities live in Pokhvistnevo.

The most important thing is that they exist, are interested in the prospects for the development of the city, and take an active part in the public life of Pokhvistnev. Being one of the smallest cities in the Samara province, which is located far from the regional center, Pokhvistnevo has always had a developed industrial complex. But years of economic depression and the difficult period of the late nineties led to the fact that many enterprises were unable to survive in the new market conditions. And betting on oil has become problematic. It was necessary to look for a way out of a difficult, seemingly hopeless situation. And he was found. |

“Assistance”: how residents of Pokhvistnevo managed to gain the attention of officials through social networks
Pokhvistnevo is a small town 5 kilometers from the Orenburg region and 160 from Samara. The distance does not prevent local authorities from effectively interacting with the regional control center. The population is about 28 thousand people - many of them boldly write about problems on social networks. The center of the city is a boulevard on Gagarin Street. According to the assistance program, a small park was built here this year, and the sidewalks were left in a destroyed state.
“It’s been renovated here maybe once a year, once in 16 years. And yes, we were really looking forward to it. Because children walk here all the time and it’s inconvenient for parents, when there is slush and dirt, it’s also hard for children to walk through. And cars drive by and splash everything as they pass,” said local resident Lyubov Rudina.
Gagarin Street runs along the kindergarten; before the renovation, several generations of pupils had changed, until the role of social networks increased.
“Social networks are now an integral part of communications, and residents specifically addressed this project, we asked the Government and they allocated us additional money. And now we will finish this street to the end. And in general, this “Incident” program, when residents apply, it’s not only a pain to make the city better, but also safety,” said the head of the city of Pokhvistnevo, Sergei Popov.
The appeal was followed by actions by officials - now the ill-fated hatch is not only closed, but also repaired. There was a similar reaction at other addresses. According to representatives of the local administration, up to 20 complaints are regularly received regarding open wells, all applications are processed promptly.
“Today we are present at the place where there was an appeal from residents of this microdistrict regarding the destroyed manhole, here is a photograph attached. The relevant services promptly replaced the well cover. Yes, by the way, they didn’t even have time to remove the temporary fencing that was installed here. Here. We try to respond to this quickly. Thank you, of course, to the residents for paying attention to this, because not always those services, when there are no emergency calls, go around everything, well, due to the same shortage of personnel and time, in order to identify this accordingly,” said Evgeniy Penzin, First Deputy Head of the city of Pokhvistnevo.
