List of federal districts and subjects of the Russian Federation

Hello, dear colleague! To effectively participate in tenders (government procurement), it is necessary to narrow the search for information about ongoing tenders to a specific region or region.

Why do you need to do this? Firstly , the unified information system (www.zakupki.gov.ru) provides information on ongoing tenders in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation and tracking the emergence of new data in all regions is a labor-intensive and useless task; secondly , you need to take into account your capabilities (the company’s capabilities) to fulfill contractual obligations in the event of your victory. Suppose your company is located in Moscow, and the Customer is in the Sakhalin region, you yourself understand that these are additional costs for transportation, travel expenses, etc. Thirdly , the Customers themselves are quite skeptical about procurement participants (suppliers) from other regions and are doing everything possible to ensure that the contract goes to “their own”. Therefore, you need to clearly define for yourself where you will participate and not waste your time and energy on processing all the other information.

Below I have provided data on the federal districts and their constituent entities of the Russian Federation. I hope this information will be useful to you, because... this is the main navigation tool for searching information in the Unified Information System (UIS).

At a distance from the center there is the Museum of Russian Fairy Tales (Kirovets village) with thematic decorations, performances and games.

Those interested in space topics will enjoy the Volgograd Planetarium . The building itself in the late Stalin Empire style has an interesting history - it was erected on the initiative of the workers of the German Democratic Republic for the 70th anniversary of Stalin. The interior is decorated with expensive materials. The planetarium apparatus, assembled in Jena, is still in operation. From the porch of the building there is a panoramic view of Mira Street , which was the first to be built after the war in an almost completely destroyed city.

War memorials

About 25 km from the city there is a memorial complex "Rossoshki" . This is a military cemetery where German, Soviet and Romanian soldiers are buried. During the Great Patriotic War there was a German cemetery here; other burials appeared after the opening of the memorial complex in the 1990s. Nearby there is a memorial sign on the site where there was a concentration camp for Soviet prisoners of war.

Soldier's Field will take about 15–20 minutes . This is another memorial complex where battles took place in the Battle of Stalingrad. After the war, the field was cleared and many shells were found. Now there is a mass grave here, monuments have been erected, and parts of the plows that were used to plow the cleared field have been preserved.

Natural parks

Natural parks in the vicinity of Volgograd are suitable for a relaxing holiday. Not far from the city there is the Donskoy Natural Park with chalk mountains and meadows. Several natural areas are located at a considerable distance (from 200 km), so you can go here for several days. "Shcherbakovsky" natural park is famous for the Stolbichi rocks and the picturesque landscapes of Volga Switzerland. The Tsimlyansk Sands Nature Park features a sandy landscape, rare species of animals and a herd of mustangs. In Nizhnekhoperskoye you can see the Shakinsky oak grove, the ancient Wild Field, Babinskoye Lake with floating islands, a sandy massif, and the Cossack village where M. Sholokhov lived.

160 km from Volgograd is the Shukshinsky cliff in the chalk mountains. Scenes of the film based on Sholokhov’s novel “They Fought for the Motherland” were filmed in this picturesque place. The writer, director and actor V. Shukshin died in a nearby village when filming was wrapping up. He loved to spend time on this cliff; a monument was erected here in memory of Shukshin.

Natural Park "Donskoy":

Monasteries

"Ust-Medveditsky" natural park is located on several rivers, the Don Cossacks lived here, and the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery . Pilgrims strive to see the local shrine - a stone with the imprints of Abbess Arsenia (some say these are the footprints of the Virgin Mary). It will be interesting to look at the temple with 33 domes, built here in 2014.

The Kamenno-Brodsky Belogorsky Holy Trinity Monastery is famous for its surrounding nature - perennial oak trees, chalk mountains with ancient caves, healing springs.

From Volgograd it will take about 2.5 hours to get to the Akhtyrsky convent with a holy well. There is an opinion that Petrov-Vodkin painted his famous painting “The Bathing of the Red Horse” here, or rather its first version. It will take a little less time to get to the Kremensky Ascension Monastery , restored on the site of the monastery of 1693.

First day

It’s convenient to start exploring the historical center of Volgograd at Station Square, where the railway station is located. In front of it you will see the Barmaley fountain , made in 2013 in the image of a pre-war fountain. The composition with a round dance of children against the backdrop of destruction caused by air strikes appeared in a photograph from 1942 and made an indelible impression of the contrast of smiling children and the ruins of the city.

From the square, walk to several architectural monuments of pre-revolutionary times. On the street Gogol there is a red-brick mansion of the Repnikovs , which houses the Volgograd Memorial and Historical Museum with an exhibition about the Civil War. If you walk along Kommunisticheskaya Street, you will see the Tsaritsyn fire brigade building , restored according to the original of the 19th century.

Next, go to the Square of Fallen Fighters, past the monument to Alexander Nevsky and the New Experimental Theater in a building from the early 20th century. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral , which was located on the Square of Fallen Fighters until it was blown up in the 1930s, is being rebuilt in the Alexander Garden It is worth walking along Volgodonskaya Street with several merchant houses of the late 19th century.

On the Square of Fallen Fighters you will see an obelisk to the defenders of Red Tsaritsyn near the grave of the Red Guards. Many people were also buried in the mass grave during the Great Patriotic War, and the Eternal Flame was lit in their memory. Not far from the grave of the Three Heroes there is a poplar tree that survived military battles. The green area with memorials is surrounded by post-war buildings. Don't be put off by Stalin's neoclassicism, in the style of which many buildings in the restored Stalingrad were built. The monumentality was intended to reflect the heroic and difficult times of the war. The central department store on the square was restored after the war and houses the Memory Museum . The exhibitions tell about the headquarters of the German commander F. Paulus located in the basement and his capture.

Along the Alley of Heroes you go to the central embankment named after the 62nd Army . First you will see the Art Fountain from 1957. Nearby there are two propylaea - structures with 8 columns, from which the central staircase . It connects the upper and lower tiers of the embankment. Steam shipping on the Volga actively developed at the beginning of the 19th century; many merchant ships stopped at the Tsaritsyn port, but the improvement of the area near the water began only at the beginning of the 20th century. Then a landslide practically destroyed the embankment, and the area along the river was redecorated again in the 1930s. After the war, restoration work began, which was completed by 1952. The staircase was built on the site of a military crossing; now during the holidays it is used as an amphitheater. There are various monuments on the embankment; pay attention to the Church of John the Baptist (2001), built on the site of the first stone church of Tsaritsyn.

On the embankment there is the “Rodimtsev Wall” - a memorable place where Major General Rodimtsev’s division landed, which came to help in the battles for Stalingrad. Above it is the “Battle of Stalingrad” panorama museum with a large-scale painting about the defeat of the enemy at Stalingrad. In addition to the panorama, the museum’s halls display items related to the Battle of Stalingrad - personal belongings of the battle participants, photographs, weapons. Next to the futuristic museum building, the Gerhardt mill . This building was significantly damaged during the fighting, and its appearance continues to remind us of the destructive power of war. In front of the mill there is a second fountain, “Barmaley”, which against its background looks almost like a photo from the war years. It’s also worth going to Pavlov’s house , where our soldiers held the defense. The house was rebuilt after the battles, and a memorial wall was installed on it.
