General information and history of Togliatti
Tolyatti is the administrative center of the Stavropol region and one of the largest cities Samara region, located directly opposite the most picturesque Zhiguli mountains.
This left-bank Volga city had every chance of becoming a typical representative of quiet provincial "settlements", known, perhaps, to its indigenous inhabitants. However, today Tolyatti is known not only in Russia, but also abroad. And there are several reasons for this.
The first is AvtoVAZ, which, despite many jokes and jokes, to this day remains one of the largest automobile plants in Russia and allows Togliatti to bear the proud name of the automobile capital.
The second is the population (according to statistics, Togliatti is the largest non-capital city in Russia - the so-called sub-millionaire city, which today has more than 700,000 inhabitants).
The third one is the talented people of Togliatti (mostly athletes) who brought the city world fame (Alexey Nemov, Vitaly Groysman, Ilya Bryzgalov, Alexander Gerunov).
And, finally, the fourth is a rich history, covered with many secrets and legends. Let's open the veil of secrecy and begin our acquaintance with the City of the Holy Cross (another informal name Tolyatti).
First there was a fortress built by Vasily Tatishchev in 1737 and called Stavropol. Until the 20th century, Stavropol was a very, very modest (even by the standards of that time) settlement with 6,000 inhabitants, one hospital, two hotels and 4 windmills. Therefore, the decision to transform Stavropol into a rural settlement due to economic insolvency, adopted in 1924, seems quite logical. The Stavropol residents regained the right to be called citizens only 22 years later - in 1946.
The city experienced its second birth in the early 1950s, when the Council of Ministers of the USSR decided to build a hydroelectric complex (Zhigulevskaya HPP) on the Volga. Saving the city from being buried under the layers of the "artificial" sea, Stavropol is moved to a new place and given a new life as a dynamically developing industrial city. Volzhskaya HPP named after Lenin, electrical plant, plant "Volgotsemmash", whole line chemical enterprises, the Volga Automobile Plant - all this is being built in record short time, attracting thousands of young people from all over the country to the "new" Volga city.
Just 20 years after moving to a new location, the population has increased 20 times (12,000 inhabitants in the early 1950s and 251,000 citizens in 1970). Then, in the mid-1970s, it was decided to rename Stavropol to Tolyatti. Apparently, the surname of the Italian communist Palmiro Togliatti seemed to the then leadership of the country more euphonious than Stavropol (translated from Greek - "city of the cross").
Ecology and climate of Tolyatti
In general, the climate of Tolyatti can be defined as a pronounced continental climate. And this means that it is hot here in summer (+21 on average), and quite cold in winter (again, on average -11). Favorable (mitigating) influence on the climate is provided by the proximity of the Kuibyshev reservoir and forests separating the districts of the city.
For a long time, Togliatti residents (especially the older generation) determined the weather “in Moscow” (and, I must say, very successfully). For example, if Moscow announced today cold snap, then in 2 days it's time to get warmer clothes for the residents of the automobile capital. However, in the last 2-3 years, this regularity is increasingly failing. And the weather both in Tolyatti and in the entire Samara region, in most cases, is determined by southern regions our vast country.
The ecological situation of the city leaves much to be desired. And if earlier the main culprits here were the largest industrial enterprises, enveloping the city in a gray haze atmospheric emissions(especially residents of the Central District suffer), today the main source of air pollution is transport (cars account for about 70% harmful substances released into the atmosphere). According to statistics, every third Togliatti resident is a car owner. Along with vital oxygen, through the lungs of Togliatti residents (to a greater or lesser lesser degree- depends on the place of residence) dust, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds pass daily.
Such a disastrous situation is saved by the introduction of modern treatment facilities into production (thanks to them, industrial pollution in the city has halved over the past 10 years), as well as vast areas of green spaces within the city and forests outside it.
Population of Tolyatti
In terms of the number of people living in the city, Togliatti occupies an honorable 19th place in Russia (707,408 people as of January 1, 2018). Among non-regional cities, it does come first.
Of particular note is the Avtozavodsky district of the city, which in the Volga region is the most densely populated area. More than 440 thousand people live on its territory, which is more than 50 percent of the total population of the city. For example, in Central region more than 157 people live, and in Komsomolskoye there are 120,000 at all.
Such an imbalance is caused by the fact that it is in the Avtozavodsky district that the famous AvtoVAZ, which produces Lada cars, is located in the whole of Russia. Most of The able-bodied population of the area works at this plant.
Tolyatti is a unique city. The fact is that it is the only city in the Samara province in which, over the past years, natural increase population. In 2013, in Tolyatti, the number of joyful occasions associated with the birth of a child exceeded the number of mourning events associated with the burial of the dead by about 1 thousand.
The main cause of death in Togliatti residents are diseases of the circulatory system. Per last year this disease accounted for 52.4% of deaths. The average age of the deceased was 70.5 years. At the age of 65, Togliatti residents most often die from malignant neoplasms (17.2%), and at 42, the most common cause of death is injury and poisoning (10%).
Of the nearly 708,000 people living in Togliatti, about 455,000 people are able to work. 113 thousand citizens have not yet reached the age to earn pocket money. The remaining population enjoys a well-deserved right to rest after several decades labor exploits. More precisely, they have the right to rest in retirement, but often continue to work even after reaching retirement age. So what to do? After all, the size of the average pension does not inspire optimism.
As far as gender distribution is concerned, Togliatti presents a classic picture that is very common not only in Russia but all over the world – there are more women than men. According to the latest data, almost 388 thousand representatives of the weaker sex and 320 thousand representatives of the stronger sex live in the city.
To date average age Togliatti is 38.4 years, which is slightly lower than the figure for the Samara region (40 years) or Russia (39 years). That is why the slogan “Togliatti is a city of the young!”, which appeared a couple of years ago in the local media, seems to be quite justified.
The next most important factor that determines the "face" of the city is the level of education of the population. Some 20 years ago, almost 85% of Togliatti residents could boast of diplomas of completion of secondary special or higher educational institutions. Fortunately, at that time the city had a sufficient number of educational institutions of various levels.
Paradoxically, despite the fact that today the number of schools has increased to 123, and there are about 20 universities, the average Togliatti citizen has become less educated. the main problem the fact that all universities today work on a commercial basis, and an ordinary factory worker with a salary of 15 thousand rubles a month can hardly afford to pay 70 thousand rubles a year for the education of his child. Of course have budget places, however, it is extremely difficult to get into them (either getting to know the right people or a 100-point result in the Unified State Examination will help).
Districts and real estate of Tolyatti
Until recently (namely, 2006), the city of Togliatti included three large districts: Avtozavodsky, Central and Komsomolsky. However, in the summer of 2006, it was decided to include a number of nearby settlements into the city. We are talking about the village of Novomatyushkino, the urban-type settlements of Fedorovka and Povolzhsky, as well as the village of Zagorodny.
In the spring of 2009, the structure of the administrative-geographical division of Togliatti became even "slenderer", after the above suburban settlements became part of three large areas, having received the status of microdistricts.
Despite the fact that all three areas are within reach (a trip from one to another takes from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the route chosen), each of them has its own face, character and peculiarities inherent only to it. To verify this, we suggest taking a virtual tour of the streets and nooks and crannies of each of them.
The first on our list is the Avtozavodsky district (more often referred to by Togliatti residents as “New City”, “Novik” or “Avtograd”), the administrative separation of which took place in 1972. The Avtozavodsky district includes 26 residential quarters, located in the so-called "square-nested way", i.e. All streets intersect at right angles. In terms of population, the Avtozavodsky district is the undisputed leader not only within Togliatti, but throughout the whole Volga region. Today, about 442,000 inhabitants live here.
The face of the new city is the factory workers. Young people aged 25-35 who have devoted their lives to the Russian auto industry and every morning at 7 am crowding at city stops waiting for factory routes. Most of them are not burdened higher education, and therefore they prefer to spend their well-deserved weekends not in libraries, theaters and museums (of which there are about 100 in Togliatti), but in city parks of culture and recreation or on intra-quarter alleys. The main condition for a successful evening is a comfortable bench and a couple of bottles of your favorite beer.
In order to “cultivate”, modern “proletarians” visit cinemas from time to time (fortunately, their number in the city has grown significantly recently - there are separate halls in every major shopping center). Boys and girls who are not burdened with families are not averse to marking the end working week in a nightclub (there are 17 of them in the city), while married couples prefer a quiet family vacation in a cafe.
Being almost the same age as its inhabitants, Avtozavodsky district boasts an excellent housing stock. More than 1300 1,2 and 3-room apartments in relatively new panel and brick houses are waiting for their new owner. Here you can also find economy-class housing on the secondary market, where the cost per square meter is about 35,000 rubles, and purchase a completely “fresh” apartment in a new building, the square meter of which ranges from 40,000 to 50,000 rubles.
Central District (or " Old city"- by analogy with" new ") is located directly in the central part of the city (hence the name). In the west, its neighbor is Avtozavodsky district, and in the east - Komsomolsky. Despite such a seemingly advantageous location, the Central District is significantly smaller than Avtozavodsky. About 158,000 people permanently live in it. However, it is it that is considered to be the administrative center of the city.3
On the territory of the Central District there is the building of the City Hall and the Togliatti City Duma, the Togliatti Museum of Local Lore, a monument to the founder of the city V.N. Tatishchev, city museum complex"Heritage", the memorial complex "Creators of the city" and many more interesting cultural and architectural monuments telling about rich history this Volga city.
Fully corresponds to the unofficial name of the area (Old Town) the state of the local housing stock. Most of the buildings here were built back in the days of Stalin and Khrushchev, and since then they have hardly undergone major repairs. The cost of housing, however, is not particularly affected. Square meter in the secondary housing market it costs an average of 35,000 rubles, in a new building - 45,000 - 47,000.
If the design of the Avtozavodsky district is based on the so-called “square-nested” method, then the Central District was built in accordance with the radial planning system (in the center is the city park and the central square of the Togliatti Palace of Culture, from which streets diverge to different ends of the district).
A significant part of the Central District is occupied by the private sector, in which dilapidated rickety houses of dandelion grandmothers and luxurious comfortable cottages guarded by a pack of fighting dogs coexist in a bizarre way.
It is traditionally believed that the inhabitants of the "old city" are more intelligent than their neighbors from Avtograd. They often visit city theatres, museums and art galleries, often go to the Philharmonic and sometimes even look into libraries (in our age of rapidly developing virtual technologies, this cultural object, unfortunately, has every chance to sink into oblivion). In general, many people get the impression that the people of the old city are more benevolent and differ from the “Novgorodites” in exactly the same way as the inhabitants of the city on the Neva from Muscovites.
A real gem of the Central District is the Portovy microdistrict (also known as Port-settlement or Portgorod) – “Little Switzerland”. Cozyly located on the picturesque bank of the Volga, it is a real decoration of the city and is traditionally considered one of the most prestigious places in Togliatti. Luxurious multi-storey cottages, immersed in the lush greenery of the forest, beautiful wooden church, built with the money of parishioners, an equestrian club and the absence of typical high-rise buildings give this place a special charm. A real "paradise"! True, in order to fully appreciate all the charm of living in this protected area (Port Village, representing a monument of the socialist era, claims the status of a historical and architectural reserve), you will have to fork out. The cost of a hundred square meters of land for the construction of a cottage here ranges from 10,000 to 15,000 dollars.

Komsomolsky district (or Komsa) is the smallest of administrative regions Togliatti (total 120,000 inhabitants). Even despite the fact that today it includes 4 microdistricts at once (the settlements of Zhiguli Sea and Shlyuzovoy, as well as the urban-type settlements of Povolzhsky and Fedorovka).
However, the spool is small - but expensive. And its value, first of all, is historical. Originally created on the basis of construction settlements, Komsomolsky district today is open book, telling about the large-scale construction of the Volga hydroelectric power station in the middle of the 20th century. On its territory there are important industrial and historical sites. The former include TogliattiAzot, AvtoVAZagregat, the Togliatti river port, VAZINTERSERVICE, as well as Komsomolsky Meat Processing Plant CJSC. The latter are represented by St. Tikhon's Church and the Annunciation Skete, built in the middle of the 19th century.
The Shlyuzovoy microdistrict deserves special attention (or rather, one of its quarters, which the locals affectionately call “little Petersburg”). It seems that life here stopped many years ago. Instead of noisy highways - narrow streets, instead of high-rise buildings - low-rise Khrushchev and Stalinist buildings, and instead of supermarkets - good old Soviet stores with saleswomen in white caps at the counter. However, despite such an idyllic picture, real estate in the Komsomolsk region is not in high demand. After admiring the wonderful buildings of Soviet classicism, most Togliatti residents are happy to return to their comfortable apartments in new areas.
City infrastructure
Togliatti, as a city that aspires to 1 million inhabitants, has a well-established infrastructure. However, even here it is not without problems.
The main source of headaches is the housing and communal services, which, as in the pre-reform period, continues to amaze the residents of the city with a constant increase in tariffs and no one knows where the amounts indicated in the receipts come from. Today, it is probably impossible to find a person satisfied with work Housing and communal services. Still fresh memories of the transition period, when people received two receipts for payment utilities, and several months later they were warned of prosecution for non-payment of one of the receipts.
Management companies of Togliatti serve 9,757 residential buildings, in which 219.1 thousand apartments are located with total area 14 482.7 thousand m2. 90% of this housing is privately owned. 88.2% of apartments in apartment buildings privatized.
Most buildings (5,959) are located in the Central District. There are 2,768 buildings in the Komsomolsky district. Despite the fact that the Avtozavodsky district is the largest not only in the city, but in the entire Volga region, “only” 891 buildings are located on its territory.
The vast majority of buildings in Togliatti have 1 or 2 floors (7,378). In second place are 6-, 9- and 10-story buildings. There are 708 of them in the city. Also in Togliatti there are 656 5-storey, 491 3- and 4-storey buildings, 259 12-storey and more high-rise buildings.
Tolyatti has not bypassed the eternal problem of bad roads. Every spring, city roads look like they've been carpet-bombed. The holes are just awesome. Given that storm currents have not been able to cope with their task for many years, the pits hidden under water pose a serious threat to motorists. It is difficult to say what this is connected with, but in 2012 the number of lawsuits against organizations responsible for the condition of the roadway increased sharply. Interestingly, all these claims were satisfied and the affected car owners received the necessary compensation.
Of course, the roads are being repaired, but not like this. rapidly how they wear out. The municipality is trying to deal with potholes with patching, but as the authorities themselves admit, this is just a temporary emergency option that helps to somehow normalize traffic on the road and wait for serious repairs, including the replacement of the entire roadbed.
In addition to the pits, it is also worth noting the road markings, which are washed off the road surface every spring along with melted snow.
The deplorable state of roads, the lack of driving culture among most local drivers and the ever-increasing number of cars often lead to accidents. Since many roads in Togliatti are simply not designed to handle a large traffic flow, one stalled car is enough to collect a traffic jam several hundred meters long. At rush hour, when people rush home after a hard day's work, such a nuisance can generally paralyze traffic on a single street.
One gets the impression that city architects, creating road junctions and intra-block passages, could not even imagine that in a city where tens of thousands of cars are produced annually, almost every family will someday have cars.
Togliatti residents, who have not yet become owners of their own means of transportation, move around the city by public transport. To date, there are 49 bus and 22 trolleybus routes in Togliatti. As for fixed-route taxis, it is quite difficult to calculate the exact number of their routes. Today there are about 100 of them. The bus and trolleybus fleet is constantly being updated, and the Gazelles are gradually being replaced by much more comfortable foreign-made minibuses.
City authorities of Togliatti mixed success they are fighting not only with such a disaster as bad roads, but also with its eternal companions - "fools". Everyone knows that the theater begins with a hanger, and the struggle for intelligence - with school bench. It so happened historically that Togliatti schools are used as a platform for introducing various innovative ideas and testing the latest developments in the field of secondary school education.
Today in Togliatti there are about 100 general education schools, in which 66,117 people study. 3,639 teachers are trying to put knowledge into them. And sometimes quite successfully.
Businesses and work in Togliatti
A few years ago, Togliatti was one of the most prosperous countries from an economic point of view. Russian cities. The notorious Forbes magazine, ranking the most attractive Russian cities for business, in 2008 gave Tolyatti a very honorable 5th place, and called the city itself the largest economic and industrial center that plays important role not only in the economy of the region, but also in the country as a whole.
Unfortunately, today the situation has changed significantly. And by no means in better side. The global financial crisis badly battered the Togliatti economy. Therefore, once a prosperous city with ambitious plans, today it is once again forced to conquer lost positions.
The city-forming enterprise of Togliatti is the Open Joint Stock Company "AVTOVAZ" - a plant specializing in the production of cars"LADA". Today, more than 66,000 people work here, including about 5,000 temporary workers. A full package of social guarantees, stability, a clearly fixed working day and the opportunity to "swing" from time to time - all this makes the plant still the most attractive workplace for Togliatti residents.
Also on the territory of Togliatti there are several more large enterprises engineering industry. These are "GM-AVTOVAZ" - an automobile plant, which is the fruit of the joint work of Togliatti and their American colleagues, the POLAD group of companies, which is a large industrial holding specializing in the production of a wide range of diverse products (from automotive to defense), "Detalstroykonstruktsiya ”, “Johnson Control Togliatti” - a plant for sewing covers for cars, “VazInterService” - a company that supplies components to car assembly plants in Russia and abroad, and “AvtoVAZagregat”.
The list of large industrial facilities of the city is continued by two combined heat and power plants - the CHPP of the Volga Automobile Plant and the Togliatti CHPP - and an impressive group of enterprises chemical industry. The latter is represented by TogliattiAzot, the world's largest ammonia plant, KuibyshevAzot, which specializes in the production of mineral fertilizers, and Togliattikauchuk, a synthetic rubber plant.
It is also worth noting the dynamically developing food industry (the city has its own meat processing plants, milk and bakeries, a distillery, a champagne and cognac factory, a winery), enterprises specializing in the production of electrical equipment, factories producing plastic and rubber products and other types of industrial production.
The banking sector is well developed, many insurance companies are actively involved in economic life Tolyatti. Small business is doing well.
It would seem that a city with so many large industrial facilities is simply doomed to prosperity. However, for the past few years, Togliatti residents have been living in constant fear“What does the coming day have in store for us?” After mass layoffs in crisis years the myth about the stability of work "at the machine" was finally dispelled. And salaries still cannot recover from the shock and reach at least the pre-crisis level.
There are lively “discussions” in the local press and at major city forums (of course, if this definition can be applied to the dialogue between the statements of the federal authorities and ordinary Togliatti residents). The reason for the indignation of the inhabitants of Avtograd is the greatly inflated official statistics, according to which the average monthly wage in the city is about 20,000 - 21,000 rubles. It is understandable. After all, an ordinary factory worker (and there are most of them at AvtoVAZ) receives an average of 11-13 thousand rubles a month, an employee of Togliattikauchuk - about 12 thousand, teachers - 8-10 thousand rubles, managers of car dealerships and travel agencies - 12,000-15,000 rubles, and sellers, cashiers, operators and other employees of federal retail chains (of which there are a great many in the city) - no more than 15,000. 20 thousand do not even smell ...
And here we must say thanks to the few, but so important for the extras, the leading link, hiding, like secret agents, in cozy offices VAZ "skyscrapers". It is thanks to these fighters of the invisible front with official salaries of several million rubles that the standard of living of Togliatti residents “on average” looks very worthy!
Crime
Hello! We are from Togliatti.
What are you threatening right now?
Tolyatti became an unspoken criminal capital back in the dashing 90s and still has not lost this dubious fame. It was in Tolyatti that 20 years ago there were fierce wars between organized criminal groups, the victims of which, unfortunately, were not only members of various organized crime groups, but also ordinary civilians. And today, guests of the city sometimes specially come to city cemetery to look at the so-called "avenue of heroes", where crime bosses and members of their gangs.
Why was Togliatti attractive for criminal elements of all stripes, and what caused the real massacre that took place in the city in the early 1990s? The answer is simple - this is AvtoVAZ.
It all started back in the 80s with the banal theft of auto parts, which in those days were in great short supply. Of course, we are talking not about taking out parts in your pants pockets or throwing boxes of spare parts over a factory fence. Kamaz trucks left the factory loaded with stolen parts. After 10 years, organized crime groups, which had already divided the city into spheres of influence, unleashed real war for establishing control over AvtoVAZ. No one could even imagine that the city would have to endure three waves of violence associated with the struggle for criminal supremacy in Togliatti.
The bandits were well aware that a lot of money was spinning at VAZ, but for the time being, the only thing they managed to do was rob car buyers outside the factory. This was not enough. It all started with the occupation of factory checkpoints and the Zhiguli store, the only official factory store in Togliatti.
In 1992, the bandits began to exercise control over the shipment of cars from the factory. This business turned out to be the most profitable. Using the scheme developed by Vladimir Bilichenko, nicknamed "Khokhol", organized criminal groups kicked out about 30 thousand cars annually. This is too tidbit for everything to go quietly and peacefully. The first conflicts began to arise between the groups.
The first Great Racketeer War began. Its initiator was the “Agievskaya” organized criminal group, headed by Vladimir Agiy and Alexander Voronetsky, who decided to take AvtoVAZ under their sole control. To implement their plans, they turned to the gang of Oleg Khoroshev, nicknamed "Gift", which agreed to shoot competitors for a substantial reward.
The first target of the “Agievskaya” group was the former thimbler Vladimir Vdovin, nicknamed “Partner”, who headed the “partner” organized criminal group. By mid-1992, Vdovin had practically taken over the Zhiguli store. Despite all efforts, none of the attempts were successful. After that, the “Agievites” switched their attention to the leaders of the “Kupeevskaya” group, Sergei and Garry Kupeevs. However, the Kupeev brothers were also too tough for them. Khokhol, who did not survive after the assassination attempt, became the next target of the “Agievskys”. From that moment on, bloody showdowns between organized criminal groups began.
The first war lasted over a year. As a result, the criminal world lost such reputable gangsters as Vladimir Bilichenko "Khokhol", Sergey Kupeev, Alexander Maslov, Alexander Voronetsky, Vladimir Dorovskikh "Sivy". Some of the bandits are missing. Instead of Maslov, Dmitry Ruzlyaev, nicknamed "Dima Bolshoi", became the head of the "Volgovskaya" organized criminal group. Vdovin received the maximum benefit from this war, who, remaining the only representative of the "old guard", rose to the very top of the Togliatti criminal hierarchical ladder. Without his participation, not a single serious issue was resolved in the city.
As a result of the next two wars between organized crime groups, almost all reputable bandits were either killed or imprisoned for long periods. In 10 years of conflicts, more than 500 people related to criminal world. The only person who managed to go through all the showdowns and stay alive is Vladimir Vdovin, nicknamed "Partner". Today he retired and lives in one of the European countries.
Attractions Tolyatti
Despite the fact that in 2012 Togliatti residents celebrated the 275th anniversary of the city, its real age is only half a century. The point is that before today"survived" only one house, moved from Stavropol-on-Volga before its flooding. Therefore, there is no point in looking for some ancient sights in Togliatti. Actually, this house-museum of the Starikovs is the oldest monument. The city museum complex "Heritage" operates on its basis.
To get an idea of the most popular sights of Togliatti, it is best to drive around the city on Friday and Saturday at the time when wedding corteges roam the city. Over the years, a tradition has developed, according to which the newlyweds, while walking around Togliatti, visit various memorable places, which would also be of interest to guests of the city.
In the Avtozavodsky district, they are especially popular Eternal flame, located in the Victory Park, and the monument of Devotion, erected in honor of the German Shepherd, which for 7 years was waiting on the side of the road for its owners who died in a car accident. In order for the newlyweds to remain faithful to each other and be happy, they rub the bronze nose of the dog.
Fans of technology can visit the technical museum of JSC "AVTOVAZ". On an area of 38 hectares there are about 3,000 small exhibits and over 460 large ones. In the museum you can see weapons from the First and Second World Wars, military equipment, cars and trucks domestic and foreign production, agricultural, railway and space technology. The main highlight of the museum exposition is the B-307 diesel submarine. All of Russia followed its movement from the Volga to the museum. On that day, all news releases on the country's central television channels made live broadcasts from the scene.
In the Central District, among the attractions, one can single out the monument to the founder of Stavropol Tatishchev, which is located on the embankment in Port Settlement, a complex located near the Zhiguli Hotel and consisting of a monument to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and a belfry
Not far from the Central Square are the Museum of Local Lore and the Togliatti Art Gallery. In the museum of local lore, you can get an idea about the life of fellow countrymen who lived centuries ago, study the local fauna. Within the walls of the art gallery, exhibitions of works by both domestic and foreign artists are constantly held. lovers theatrical performances can visit the well-known throughout Russia theater "Wheel".
In the Komsomolsky district, the most interesting is the embankment, which is a favorite vacation spot for young people, as well as a hydrofoil.
Guests of Tolyatti should also pay attention to the architectural appearance of the city. Of course, typical new buildings do not arouse any interest, but it is worth stopping by the Gateway microdistrict and you will immediately get the feeling that you are in Little Petersburg.
After exploring the local attractions, you will inevitably want to eat. There are two options here. The first is to go to the nearest large shopping center, since there are a great many of them in the city, and order something at the food court that is popularly called fast food. The second option is much nicer. You can go to some cozy restaurant or cafe, which is popular with Togliatti residents, and taste fine dining Russian cuisine (MarIvanna and Pelmeshka restaurants), Italian cuisine (La Rotonda restaurant), Japanese cuisine (Yakitoria and Sushi Boom restaurants) and international cuisine (Fusion cafe-bar, Yakuza sushi cafe, restaurants " Tower" and "Sugar").
