The sunniest city of Omsk Automatic translate

The date of birth of Omsk is considered to be 1776. The founder was the Cossack Buchholz, who, together with his horde, tried to find gold treasures in these parts. They built a small village on the banks of the Irtysh River and began to wash gold from the river, but unfortunately, there were no bullions there. The Cossacks were left without prey and wanted to break the settlements, but the peasants had already come here for permanent residence and work. Time passed, and a small village at the intersection of two rivers was transformed into the beautiful city of Omsk. It is worth noting that it was built not by land surveyors, but by simple Cossacks, which can be seen in our time.

A bit of the history of the city

In those days, people were exiled to Siberia as a punishment for some crime. Thanks to this, many scientists, poets and writers found themselves in Omsk and taught the population literacy and spelling. The most famous of the exiles is F.M. Dostoevsky, after whom the street, educational institution and library are named. Even the apartment in which the writer lived was still preserved as a cultural heritage.

Until the highway connecting Omsk with Novosibirsk appeared, only convicts lived in the city. From that moment, the city was considered the transport ring, uniting many cities.

Omsk used to be considered the capital of Russia and industry. But over time, he lost his former glory, became an inconspicuous little town, in the history of which there are many bad events.

Kolchak left the biggest mark, disputes are still ongoing about his personality, opinions were divided on two sides - some consider him a hero and assure that a monument should be erected for such a person, while others hold the opinion of his cruelty and attribute to him many murders innocent people. They can’t agree, find a common opinion whether a monument is needed or not.

The highway was built, and this meant only one thing - merchants and traders would tumble down on all sides. And so it happened, the city was inundated with various outlandish goods, but it was difficult to surprise the residents with something.

When Kolchak retreated during the civil war, he chose Omsk as his refuge, because there was no richer city in the district. His army began to shoot innocent residents, communists and all who belonged to the red army. Many had to leave the city as soon as possible in order to save their lives.

But Kolchak did not stay here for long, the Reds expelled him and later he was killed in the city of Irkutsk. Rumor has it that his army hid gold reserves under the city during the retreat, because they had a lot of this good, and it was very difficult to carry with them, so part of it had to be left. Where is this gold now unknown to anyone, because there is still no news that someone found it. Either they found the treasure and prefer not to talk about it, or it’s just talk, but there are simply no treasures. But there are eccentrics who are still trying to find gold, so far to no avail.

After the assassination of Kolchak, the city suffered, the leader of the world proletariat - V.I. Lenin was very admiral, and therefore for his death, banned trade and tax collection in Omsk, and those who tried to sell something were inevitably expected to be shot. Large establishments, such as pubs, were closed. The hungry years came, there was very little food left, and even bread was worth its weight in gold, people had to catch stray animals and eat them, even mice had to eat.

About 20 years, people had to eat what they got, and live from hand to mouth. But after 1945, the city was pardoned. During the war years, tank and machine-building plants were transported to Omsk, but at the end of the war no one began to take them, but on the contrary built new ones. And from that moment a favorable time came for Omsk citizens, work and normal food appeared.

Medicine, education, industry began to develop, institutes, hospitals, shops and many other useful institutions appeared.

Weather

The city is located in the temperate climate zone. And all four seasons, residents feel in full. In winter, the temperature reaches -30, and sometimes a record -50, and in the summer there is an annoying heat of +30 - 40 degrees. In summer, there are droughts, or vice versa, it often rains, and in winter, severe frosts and snow prevail. Therefore, one can rightfully say that there are persistent and hardy people, for whom the harsh weather has long been familiar. By the number of sunny days, the city is considered the sunniest in Russia.

Scientific data indicate a low yield of all crops in such conditions, but, nevertheless, Omsk is among the first to collect grain crops. And the residents of the city and the region are in a hurry to ennoble their gardens and summer cottages, and they are quite able to grow any culture from potatoes to cabbage. Maybe the harvest is small, but people are satisfied with their work, and as they themselves think, they eat natural products grown by their own hands.

Omsk - hero of the day

This year, the city with a millionaire turns 300 years old. Omsk and the government are preparing for this day. Previously, the city was considered the greenest and cleanest, which is now impossible to say about it. I cut down the trees, clog the streets, but you can’t tell about the state of road surfaces without tears. Let’s hope that by his birthday Omsk will shine with new colors and will regain its former beauty and purity.

Omsk theatrical

In recent years, a very rapid development of cultural life has been taking place in the city on the Irtysh. So the Omsk theaters began to dazzle with loud signs: for example, in the theater of a young audience, which recently acquired a new artistic director, you can see productions based on the works of various artists - starting with Pushkin and Shakespeare, ending with Orwell and Woody Allen.

In Omsk, eight large theaters operate simultaneously, and experimental theaters are developing. In each of them - in the Academic Drama, and in the music, and in the theater of young spectators, and in the Fifth Theater, wonderful repertoires.

Since 2002, at the suggestion of the leadership of the Fifth Theater, Omsk has hosted the annual international festival Young Theaters of Russia, which attracts many interesting theater groups from different parts of the world - Japan, Israel, France, Poland, and Kazakhstan. Many theaters in Russia took part in this festival. This year will be the XI festival, which will be held in the fall.

There is also one good news, which is no longer new: the Galerka Theater, beloved by the townspeople, will receive a gift for the Omsk’s centenary - a new renovated building.

But there is also something that causes sadness in the Omsk theater life. This is a slow fading away by everyone’s beloved, and now experiencing almost empty, musical theater. In the performances, the hall is so empty that during the final applause in the atmosphere is not joy but sorrow. The sadness of actors staring at empty chairs, at the few spectators trying to clap for themselves and for that guy. The sadness of the audience, understanding how hard it is for their favorite actors, how hard it is for their favorite theater. And one cannot say that such a situation is the result of poor performances - no! Performances in the musical are beautiful! The actors are great! The musicians are great! The staff is trying to help in every little thing. So what’s the deal? It seems to me that this question should be addressed to the leadership of the musical theater.

And yet Omsk is a theatrical city. Such wonderful theaters work in it: “Gallery” - one of the classic Omsk theaters, if you can call it that, the academic drama theater can also be included in the classical list, the Lyceum drama theater is loved by Omsk residents for a small hall, which creates a greater effect of spectator involvement in the plot. The audience of "Harlequin" is considered to be children, but the age of those who want to see the skill of actors is very different. The modernized theater of the young spectator attracts enormous attention of Omsk residents, thanks to the innovations that were introduced recently. The Musical Theater pleases Omsk operas and ballets, the Fifth Theater - with unusual directorial moves, the Lyubov Ermolaeva Theater Studio - with the extraordinary truthfulness of the feelings experienced on the stage. All these wonderful theaters have long made a very sophisticated audience out of Omsk.
