TAx rATeS For enTerPrISeSThe project intro-

duced in 2006 concerning the reduction of in-come tax for private enterprises from 24 to 20% should pay off by 2011 if Perm manages to attract ‘big gamblers’.

in 2006 the proj-ect’s losses amount-ed to €94.5 million, however, in the course of its realiza-tion some extra in-come arose. by 2009 this figure is set to reach €167 million.

the project isn’t restricted to a mere tax rates reduc-tion: it presupposes active investments

and profit centers attracting capital through individual business interac-tions and investment ground develop-ment. today such organizations as le de beauté, Vostok-service, russian textile, and ibs are invited to set their head offices in perm. because of an undertaking with the biggest taxpayers in the sphere of socio-economic inputs, the program resulted in recent arrange-ments with the united metallurgi-cal company (omK) €27.8 million (65% of which constitute

the regional share and along with ones pending with the urals instrument-making plant.

it was recently re-ported that the ural mining and metal-lurgical company may come to perm. ummc (yekaterin-

burg) is one of the largest russian con-cerns: 47 enterprises from 11 regions of russia specialized in mining, metallurgy, processing industry, machinery, cable and wire manufacture and building make up its structure.

OLEG BURTSE v, the Perm Krai Legislative Assembly deputy, stated: — Today we are struggling to create favorable conditions for investors. Income tax goes down, and par ticular grounds are avail-able for fur ther reorganization and development. Par tnership with such an industrial giant as UMMC will definitely increase our chances in the eyes of big economic gamblers.

sylvinite booked reserves (of a+b+c1 category) in the talitsky area were specified in the vol-

ume of 681 million tones. the conditions of the auction forced construction to start on the enterprise not later than 2012. ac-cording to the data of acron, the building of potassium enterprise will require about €1 millard. none of the perm region enterpris-es has yet entertained the company’s sug-gestion, made in the mass media at the end of June, of starting the joint reclamation

of talitsky area. now acron is elaborat-ing the technical and economic grounds for the project.

VSMPO Avisma placed a stake in foreign assets de-

velopment at minimum risks.

the previous day the titanium holding reported about the Vsmpo titanium ukraine ltd. foundation in dnipropetrovsk. the newborn enterprise will un-dertake the modernization of the closed Jsc Vsmpo pipe Works in nikopol, Vsmpo avisma and the interpipe joint project, leas-ing out new equipment to it. ac-cording to this scheme avisma minimizes risks on the one hand and contributes to the works

development without interpipe share cost increase on the other.

the holding’s main objective is to introduce nikopol pipe works to the airbus and boe-ing aero pipes market, which requires compound production modernization. thus the new company will spend its own funds on foreign equipment leasing it out to Vsmpo pipe Works. Funding works’ mod-ernization through subsidiary enterprise will allow titanium corporation to develop the facility avoiding share capital increase.

In the middle of August the first dry-

cargo ship, Solikam-sky 6801, for river-sea navigation, built by the Verkhnekamsk ship-building complex, has been floated.

in 2008 the company is going to construct two other ships, to deliver the leading bulk-container carrier, a modernized push towboat and a barge with cargo carrying capacity of 4 thousand tones, and to resume boat- and powerboat-construction.

in april 2006 the revival of large-capacity vessels building began. at the time they started to lay down a keel for the first out of the six dry-cargo ships. the building owner and the investor in the six ships of the line is the Jsc sylvinit company. the llc Verkhnekamsk shipbuilding complex is charged with the ex-ecution of the project.

the region’s governor paid a visit to the ship before its launch and marked the signing of the second con-tract by the company as a significant event for the region. as he explained, “the whole industry is regenerating and the perm region earlier played a promi-nent part in it. now as the interest in river and

sea boats deepens we will regain our position. it will be a real achieve-ment if the factory suc-cessfully competes with similar russian enter-prises. and as we can see it’s already coming to pass”.

at the present mo-ment Vsc is con-structing the second dry-cargo vessel and preparing a field for

the keel-laying of the third ship. sylvinit’s investments into one of such constructions amount to € 9,5 mil-lion. general-service dry-cargo ships built on the order of sylvinit with the cargo carrying capacity of 6.8 thou-sand tones are rigged with unique foreign navigation systems. the sizes of ships guarantee smooth lock-age in the Volga-Kama basin. in winter the ships of the line will be able to waft both loose goods and containers in the offshore zone. in addition the use of grade heavy fuel oil will allow the reduction of transportation costs

ROSTYAM SABIROv, the GM of Sylvinit Corp.:— Verkhnekamsk shipbuilding complex has guaranteed work for next 4-5 years thanks to the orders of Sylvinit. The mineral company during last ten years has been showing the growth of production volume, naturally, the load of traffic sector goes up and so we try to differentiate our traffics including shipping through our own port on the Kama River. Our own dry cargo ships are to let us increase volumes of shipping by water up to 1 million tonnes of production a year.

The LLC Verkhnekamsk shipbuilding complex (VSC) is the only shipbuilding enterprise in the Urals. It was started in May 2006 on floorspace of the LLC Shipbuilding factory Kama. 943 people are employed by VSC. There are going to be twice as many employees — up to 2 thousand people.

real estateExpert opinion

By Sergey BugalevichThe topic: How many trade centers is Perm able to digest? The analysis of trade and entertain-ment centers in the city.

Commercial real estate is the most attractive and stable investment at all times. Right now, what is happening to this investment tool in Perm?

Now trade and entertainment centers are the most profitable among all commercial areas and it is precisely this fact that explains their swift growth. There is no need to name the main ones in Perm. We should focus on the situation in general. The largest centers in Perm have about 300,000 square meters, 100,000 sq. m. are being built and a further 200,000 sq.m. are to be built (but according to some sources even more is planned). In this way in the next three-five years, the scope of such centers will widen to two-three times as much relative to the present. Notice, we do not take into account all other trade areas of less square footage.

Who occupies the square footage? The mem-bership begins to repeat itself on 30-40% even today. The local and neighbouring retail has tak-en up everything. New stores, new formats and new brands are inactive because of high rent. Big trading networks try to find new lands to put up hypermarkets with their own leaseholders.

What claims are we making here? New effec-tive goods of high quality in a mid-price range are being produced. Based on the information available we can conclude that Perm can effec-tively contain some 300.000 sq.m more of large trade property but with new concepts and goods segment. All the others will begin to struggle for leaseholders and it is better to trust in profes-sionals in this struggle.

CzECHS INTEREST IN A SKI RESORT IN THE CITY OF KIzEL

a czech company, souyz ingeneric, is interested in building a ski resort. the final decision to go ahead has not been taken yet. However the lot to build on is to be transferred from federal to private ownership .

as long ago as February 2007, the regional authorities spoke of the need to build a new ski resort to attract tourists from the whole of the urals.

Perm Projects in sochiAt VII forum of investment projects in Sochi ten projects

of Perm krai are to be presented

Perm krai are about to present

at VII international investment forum Sochi-2008 more than 10 large projects in sphere of logistics, an infrastructure, a timber industry complex, an agricul-ture with volume of investments not less than €14 bn. The main purpose — to involve investors who can implement these projects in Prikamie.

it is planned, that all projects will be united by the gen-eral name «perm krai – territory of suc-cess». among projects which present our re-gion in sochi are the sports-tourist complex usva in gremjachinsk

area, an aquapark in Kungur, the logistical centre and industrial area in tchaikovsk area. last year at the forum perm krai presented investment projects in building of residential areas and creation of an engi-neering infrastructure of a holiday tourist centre.

the forum starts on september, 18-21th and will be to be-come a large-scale demonstration of investment poten-tial and projects of development of many russian regions. the topic of the main action of the forum – a plenary meeting – sounds as «russian economy: where to invest?». presenta-

tions of the russian regions, exhibitions, circular tables, nego-tiations and signing of agreements are planned. represen-tatives of the gov-ernment, russian ministries and minis-tries of some foreign states, official foreign delegations, repre-sentatives of large international financial institutions, business elite will take part in forum work. by the present moment 30 foreign delega-tions, more than two thousand representa-tives of russian and foreign business, 40 regions of russian Federations have been already regis-tered for participation in the forum.

MARAT BIMATOv, Minister of trade development and enterprise:

What prerequisites are there for the increasing of investment potential in Perm region in the current year?— The krai authorities have set up a new permanent body – the investment office of Perm Krai. The main task of the body is to select the most attrac-tive regional projects for potential in-vestors and also present such projects and information about the favorable business-climate in the region to rep-resentatives of the ruling circles and foreign states. Besides, among the competitive features of the region to attract higher investment there is a high credit rat-ing. (The long-term credit rating of the Moody’s-Aa1.ru agency).How much can the status of Perm

region satisfy the requirements of comfortable and civilized business keeping? — The «24-20» program which aims to reduce the tax rate on profit for all enterprises of the region from 24 percent (like in other regions of Rus-sia) down to 20 is in effect. There are some real-estate tax benefits. Russian and foreign businesses can use these preferences to create management companies in the krai as centers for profitable trading activity. The relatively low running costs of offices and upkeep of personnel, the high level of specialists in the region and the participation of the authorities in training of personnel are the addi-tional advantages. What are the privileged areas of co-operation with the ministry of trade in the current season?— The main priorities for the ministry are to focus on the development of tourism and on the free enterprise emphasized in council programmes. In addition, other high priorities for the Ministry are such tasks as the progress of the regional branch logistics and commerce.

InVeSTmenTS In regIonAl AgrIculTure ProVe To be eFFecTIVe

Over 80% of krai agricultural units showed positive six months financial results

The agricultural establishments

of Perm krai dem-onstrated excellent financial results over the first six months of 2008.

With due account for state subsidies, farm units brought in €15 million of profit, exceeding last year’s result by €2.5 million. 80% of local agricultur-al enterprises managed to prove their out-standing financial ef-ficiency. sales revenue

increased by €35000 otherwise by 33% in comparison with the same period last year. profitability inclusive of subsidies remained the same as last year – 12% and 4.4% with-out state backing.

in 2009-2012 the volume of invest-ments in agricultural development should presumably amount to €1.043 billion. as a result the production index should grow by 103.1% while the index of total invest-

ments in the agricul-tural sphere should account for 107.1%. besides, business-men tend to buy up agricultural land and set non-core business in such areas. accord-ing to verified data, the regional authori-ties and entrepreneurs concluded a partner-ship agreement: the krai would purchase agricultural products at fixed prices.

another regional project, perm pota-toes, breathed life

into the agricultural sphere. this brand unites the best potato farms of perm krai. one of the farm man-agers complained that today, when foreign goods dominate the market, promotion of russian brands is a bothersome undertak-ing that eats up time and money. thus the regional authori-ties’ backing is very helpful, and coopera-tion with other farms under a single brand makes the task easier.

Perm honey unlockS greAT PoTenTIAl

Last month Uinskoe village hosted the

honey exhibition, Sa-vour of the Honey”.

the festival that is being held for the third time in a row boosted regional culture, tour-ism and the economy. according to its participants uinskoe land might become the center of ecological tourism in the future. Within the festival

framework organizers presented an agricul-tural franchise in bee breeding. it is based on the idea of the tentorium company to create an easily pro-ducible apiary in perm Krai. the financial plan, which appears to be a four-year fore-cast, specifies gradual apiary development: beginning with 30 and ending up with 500 bee colonies or more. the

technology allows us to get about 80 kilos of tradable honey each year from a single bee colony. thus an aver-age farm apiary con-sisting of 30 colonies should bring about €5.4 thousand revenue.

perm Krai provides excellent facilities for bee breeding devel-opment. today the number of bee colonies in the region amounts to €4.13 thousand. the

majority is located on small farm units, private part-time farms and peasant farm en-terprises, although uin-sky district alone could maintain up to 200 bee colonies. uinskoe origi-nal honey produced by a rare race of black central russian bees excels many sorts of honey from other ural regions both in natural ingredients, content and taste.

BANKRUPTCIES, DEBTS AND PRIvATIONS

The so-called «black-list» is a new phenomenon for the region. We would remind you that the plan to pub-lish information about the arrears of organizations on the web site of the Perm bailiffs has been implemented lately. Top-managers of Perm enterprises believe that any company from this list determined to develop fur-ther will have to pay off its debt if it is not to lose its reputation. Primarily the list is of interest to potential partners, This measure is also intended to urge compa-nies to pay off their liabilities.

The latest Perm Days issue publishes, for the first time, a review of businesses in difficulties on the re-gional market. The targets we are focusing on are ei-ther debtors or businesses which have not performed according to expectations at the current period. In the judgment of the editorial board, such an analytical re-view can help foreign investors to find themselves bet-ter placed in the Prikamye business field.

BERATONThe chemical plant Beraton in Berezniki (Indus-

trial Corporation Guta Group) launched bankruptcy proceedings. According to the general manager, the immediate task of the business is the temporary closedown of production and its preparation for sale. By decision of the court of arbitration, the process of external supervision is in place until 6 February 2009 on the company’s initiative.

vISHERA PAPERMILLThe Vishera paper Company (Severnaya Corpo-

ration Ltd. and Epigon Ltd.) was declared bankrupt in October 2006. This August, the Perm Court of Ar-bitration prolonged the term of production contest on the Vishera Papermill Company for a month. The procedure was prolonged in order to decide the question about bringing in an action by the credi-tors against the owners of the company to make them answerable for subsidiary liability. The debts total about € 4.1 thousand and affect 44 creditors.

URALALMAzUralalmaz Close Corp. (the city of Krasnovish-

ersk, Perm Krai) a part of Ruiz Group of the business-person Lev Levaev was deprived of seven licenses on extraction of gold and reconnaissance of diamonds in Perm Krai. Two licenses were revoked on extrac-tion of gold-placer mines and five on reconnaissance of diamonds. The territorial agency of Perm kray in-formed the licenses were recalled in the end of July because the company did not comply with the con-ditions of the license contract.

RICHBROKERSERvICE CLOSE CORP.RichBrokerService Close Corporation (which

forms part of RichBrokerService Public Corporation) forfeited a market maker license. Repeatd violations of securities laws and counteraction to money laun-dering schemes during the past year were the rea-sons for the annulment of the license. It is reported that quarterly accounts contained incomplete or wrong information and a special official, responsible for observance of the rules and the implementation of programmes of special internal control to prevent laundering, had not been not appointed.

MORION The committee of directors of Morion Public Corpo-

ration made a decision to sell a part of property which was idle and unproductive to repay a credit debt.

Morion is under the burden of credit obligations incurred after a project for the mass production of telematic terminals failed. The total amount of inter-est paid to banks has come nearer to the sum of the debt. At the end of 2007 the management tried to collect the necessary funds to pay off the liabilities by the use of additional emission, but the minority shareholders blocked the idea. So the sale of a part of the unused property in order to keep production is only one effective solution to pay credits off.

A neW APProAch zone To The Perm AIrPorT IS To be creATed

It became clear to The Perm Days in

the meeting to discuss the Bolshoe Savino airport in consulta-tion with the local authorities that we need to eliminate the paid parking place straightaway in order to arrange a free zone for traffic, and to cre-ate a parking zone for buses and taxis. All arrangements are to be completed by the 30th of august.

it was decided that a private operator would be put in charge of solving the problems of reconstructing the aero terminal includ-ing the broadening of the approach roads. meanwhile the bidding process for investment in the organization of

the vehicle service in front of the airport ter-minal has started. the order includes a new scheme for vehicles to approach the airport, the creation of a paid long stay parking area as well as a system for public transport and taxi services.

as long ago as march the perm air-lines company planned to open bidding for the management of the area close to the terminal, but by that time permission to use land had not been granted. the head of the perm territory

department, leonid li, gave his agreement on 18th of august on condition that the area be given in lease on a competitive basis and at a market price. leonid li believes that an operator in the area will have to hold a mo-nopoly because there is no another approach to the airport, and the quality of the service is going to be higher as long as the work of the operator is under the control of perm airlines.

as far as the airport is concerned, some experts incline to believe the investment project on bolshoe savino airport will be implemented so as to increase the investment attractiveness of perm region.

IGOR SHUBIN the mayor of Perm:— The interchange scheme does not suit me. Only the coor-dinated actions of all parties, such as the region of Perm, the territory department, the management of the airport and the Perm authorities, can lead to real positive changes.

Perm Airlines Company has served 486,774 pas-sengers since January, which is 45% more than in the same period last year. The company has carried 242,974 outbound and 240,254 incoming passengers over the eight months. There were 4 259 flights form Bolshoe Savino airport from January to August. The cargo traffic has in-creased by 102%. As many as 42,043 people used the service in August including 24,712 people on international flights; which is 40% more than in last year.

Perm exTreme PArk IS To become A mulTI-FuncTIonAl

Initially the new park was intended

to be a prominent concrete maze, a favorite recreation spot for those whose passion is skate boarding, freestyle, parcours, or roller skating.

However accord-ing to the new design planning, the range of services became wider and the configuration of the primary build-ings has changed. the major innovation is the opportunity for all year round operation. it will be possible due to the snap-up hemi-sphere roof.

construction should begin in september. in the 2008 municipal budget €620 thou-sand are set aside to cover the building expenditure; however, the mayor’s office is ready to increase the figure in view of re-cent project changes. the city authorities repeatedly insisted

on extreme park construction in the krai center. Within the framework of twin towns program, the louisville (usa) city mayor Jerry

abramson presented igor shubin the rough draft of the project that later determined the general concept of the park construc-tion.

The Perm State Art Gallery holds a

wonderful collection of Russian drawing and watercolor that was successfully exhibited both in Perm and in Moscow in the Sergey Andriyaki Watercolor School.

the abundance of prominent names is truly fascinating: savra-sov, shishkin, levitan, the brothers Vasnetsov, Kramskoy, Kustodi-yev, serov, nesterov, gerasimov, malyavin, serebryakova, surikov… Visitors were able to dis-cover new dimensions of old masters’ talent. the exhibition featured sketches of prominent paintings: “thaw: early spring” by savrasov, “in the Boulevards” by ma-kovsky, ‘man’s Portrait” by repin performed in a complex watercolor-pastel technique, rare double-faced drawing by lermontov with 13 sketches from his “scenes of stavropoulos life”. one of the water-

colors has an interesting history; it’s the work of the xix century master razmakhnin “the View of Perm”. twenty years ago museum fellow workers recognized it on a photograph; the image was enlarged and exhibited in perm. sev-eral years afterwards the original painting was discovered by chance in one of the st. peters-burg antique shops and purchased for the gal-lery collection.

drawing seems to be one of the easiest art genres; nonetheless, it’s overflowing with hidden meanings, full of signifi-cance. drawing is some-what of a private artistic diary that reflects a master’s intimate feel-ings and thoughts, his creative genius.

everyone who wishes to acquire drawing techniques, who col-lects graphic works, or simply has a passion for painting, should by no means miss it. Water-color, charcoal, graph-ite, pastel, sepia, india

ink – such a variety of techniques is hard to enumerate; besides, every artist has his own particular “handwrit-ing”.

drawings are fragile treasures; they leave the reserve stock just

for a short while on special occasions. this exhibition gives you a rare chance to see over 150 outstanding works from the richest graphic collection of perm state art gallery.

anniversarY exhiBition of vYacheslav smirnov

The Center of Cultural Tech-

nologies. Supported by the committee of culture under the administration of the city the Artist’s House and the Perm Organization of the United Artists of Russia present the

anniversary exhibi-tion of a famous Perm painter, Vyacheslav Smirnov.

there are about sixty works of dif-ferent creative pe-riods represented. the landscape com-positions and the

works of ethno style incorporate sym-bols of place and time, deep percep-tions that we find in ancient and folk art. the so-called perm beast style compris-es a certain cycle of art search of the master.

The opening is on the 2nd of September. 27 Gorkogo Str, Perm. The exhibition closes on the 22nd of September. The hours of service: every day 11am – 18.30pm, Saturday: 11.00am - 16.00pm, Sunday – day off.


CUlTURe

Among the modern stone high-rise

buildings at 142 Ord-zhonikidze Street, deep in a yard, a discreet wooden house had a miraculous escape from time.

more than a hundred years ago it sheltered a secret life. in 1906 a clandestine print works of the perm bolshe-viks was situated here. today it’s a memorial house museum, the first branch of the local History museum, that will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year.

the inauguration of the underground print-ing House museum took place on the 5th of november in 1968 by the decision of the perm city council of working people’s depu-ties, under the active auspices of the national culture trust and the museum staff, with the help of the town’s community, veterans of the party revolutions, and of the civil and the great patriotic wars. the daughter of y.m. sverdlov, Vera yakov-levna, took part in the opening as well, having arrived from moscow.

the underground printing House mu-seum is connected with the revolutionary activ-ity of y.m. sverdlov, the closest associate of V.i. lenin. in may 1906 the shadowy print-ing house of the perm bolsheviks was formed here at his instigation.

the museum is situ-

ated in a small wooden house in the yard. the outhouse formerly belonged to a steam-ship machinist tiunov. He was rarely at home and so that the house wasn’t empty, leased it to lodgers. of course he couldn’t even suspect that crypto-revolutionists would inhabit it and work there. What is more, a police station was situ-ated nearby.

the house museum is quite small, hav-ing three little rooms. From the inner porch you can go to the kitchen-anteroom, then follow through to the parlour and see the reconstructed interior of crypto-revolutionists’ living room with the outfit of a secret print-ing house. it was there where they both lived and worked, producing

leaflets. on the left, by the window, you can see the table covered with the work cloth, an oil-lamp and the samo-var standing on it and an inkpot with a pen nearby. on the wall – the mirror in a wooden frame, at some distance – the cupboard with dishes. by the oppo-site wall – the bed covered with the lively patchwork blanket and the coffer standing by it. in the centre of the room – the typograph-ic outfit with the set programs of the rus-sian social-democratic Workers’ Party. and a pile of printed leaflets. the basement is open…

the picture is exactly the same as at the moment when the underground opera-tives were overtaken by the gendarmerie. even the clock needles

tell the time when the police broke out.

the underground printing House is one of the most unusual museums in perm. it tells us both about the way of life of perm citizens and about the place where our history was made.

do not pass it by. enter into this hospita-ble shelter and you will meet the past here.

FATe oF PASTernAk’S houSe IS In hAndS oF bureAucrATS

n the Alexandrovsk land of Perm krai

the local and krai au-thorities cannot decide a fate of the House of Boris Pasternak. The transfer process into the ownership of the municipality has dragged on.

according to Vladimir abashev, the Head of

the uyryatin Fund, the most efficient solution is the transfer of the building to the assets of alexandrovsk council. at the same time, it is necessary to arrange a branch office at the perm local history mu-seum distinct from the memorial part concern-ing Pasternak’s life

as the assistant of

the vice chairman of alexandrovsk council, lyudmila beleckaya, said, the city is ready to incorporate the building into their ownership but with the support of the krai authorities. it is planning to put up the infrastructure to make the museum attractive for tourists.

the issue has been considered by the perm ministry of culture for a long time. the process was delayed as the question about its status and an owner of the house fell on the period when the offi-cials were not nominat-ed. ‘now the problem is being considered,,’ Vladimir abashev said.

Perm krai – the region of Culture

Programme, conduct-ed with the support of the Ministry of Cul-ture and Mass Com-munications organizes many arrangements events. At the end of August Osa city, as one of cities to win the Center of Culture of Perm krai Competi-tion, welcomed the third congress of the Municipal Unions Council and the VII Festival of Historical Cities.

The congressthere are 18 historical

cities and settlements in Perm krai with its history and heritage. Osa city took part in the programme not by accident. the empress Ekaterina the Great appreciated the importance of the city for the Russian Empire at its true value and established the city emblem in 1783. For the last 417 years of its life Osa was either an outpost of the new Russian eastern territories or a landing pier at the Kama river, or a center of merchant class development or a place where a great number of handicrafts flourished. also Osa was a city of the oilman.

at the third congress of the Municipal Unions Council of Perm krai Osa gathered the governor, Chirkunov, the state duma deputies, representatives of the krai government, legislative and town councils, as well as heads of 363 municipal settlements. the purpose of the congress was to sum up the first three years since the reform of local government had been adopted. it should be noted that the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation designated Perm krai as «the leader for bringing reform into being in Russia».

Participants of the congress have analyzed the results of the transitional period and charted a course of action to settle the problems of development in the local government in Perm krai in 2009.

Revolutionary occasion

«there has not been such a festive occasion in Osa so far!» — at least this is the opinion of the majority of people in Osa. the occasion began when the quests came into the city accompanied by Cossack on horses. next the holiday column marched past the whole city and a bit later a sculpture for couples in love opened up. later a real performance begun in a town square, showing tzar Fedor ioannovich sending the Kaludjenin Brothers to settle new Russian lands. the festival ended with a beauty contest. But after the festival another surprise awaited people, as a special present was the performance of the new Opera by artists of the Moscow theatre. For two evenings on a main square sounded the music of great composers and the voices of superb soloists.

Guests who want to visit Osa could see the cupolas of svyato-troitzkyi cathedral. this orthodox temple, built at the beginning of the 19th century, has a destiny like many other religious buildings. at first there was a protracted period of construction because of the lack of means, an absolute neglect afterwards during the soviet period and at last there has been a hard and long restoration in the new age. this building, quite out of the ordinary in its scale and architecture, is a symbol of the city.

it is hard to imagine Osa without the merchant mansions which adorn the ancient part of the city. Merchant dynasties began to appear in Osa in the second half of the 19th century. the most well-off merchants had stone houses. the city has managed to save 43 relics of the past and now everything that was created reflects the city’s history. Once you arrive in Osa you ought to visit the museum and the memorial complex. it includes memorials of the Great Patriotic War, the Civil war and the Peasant War of 1773-1775. the special city’s pride is a diorama – the seizure of Osa fortress by Pugachev – which is a monumental and historical picture devoted to the Peasant War of 1773-1775.

SERGEY LYSENKO, the GM of Moscow theatre the New Opera:— The last time I was in Osa was two years ago, but two days ago I came here again and looked at the city. I did not recognize it! Osa has become a tremen-dous city, the equal of those in Europe. Today’s event – the opening of the sculpture for people in love — moved me to tears. It is difficult to express these feelings in words.

SERGEY ROMANOv, the Head of Osa district:— I would like our citizens to fell strongly that we have a great holiday here. Guests will have gone but the high relief constructed for the Kaludjenin broth-ers, the fragment of a serf wall, the museum exhibi-tion, the sculptural composition of the rhapsody of love, fountain square and many other things will remain. We created a revolution in terms of city improvement, but the main revolution is in people’s minds who want and are ready to make life around them better.
