8 of 8
  1. Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus: story on the “Merchant Samara and the Reserve Capital” route

    Here, a private purchase of land will prove more important than the community’s years of correspondence with officials.

  2. Kuibyshev Square and the Opera and Ballet Theatre: story on the “Merchant Samara and the Reserve Capital” route

    The final stop will show how evacuated musicians prepared a premiere amid shortages of paper, copyists, and even a component for a drum.

  3. Kurlina Mansion — Museum of Art Nouveau: story on the “Merchant Samara and the Reserve Capital” route

    The house will be needed for the route as a story of technical innovations, family responsibility, and an object returned after confiscation.

  4. Leningradskaya Street: story on the “Merchant Samara and the Reserve Capital” route

    This stop will show how an art-supplies shop became the place from which an image of Samara, chosen by its owner, spread around the world.

  5. Revolution Square: story on the “Merchant Samara and the Reserve Capital” route

    Here, it becomes clear how a trading place turned into a provincial center, and how the old base outlived changing city symbols.

  6. Stalin's Bunker: story on the “Merchant Samara and the Reserve Capital” route

    The underground rooms reveal the scale of preparations for a decision that ultimately did not have to be made.

  7. Volga Embankment by Nekrasovsky Descent: story on the “Merchant Samara and the Reserve Capital” route

    The riverbank will connect today’s promenade with the teenagers’ journey to the Solovetsky Islands and the later effort to restore their names to the city.

  8. Zhigulevsky Brewery: story on the “Merchant Samara and the Reserve Capital” route

    The bidding for the riverbank opens the story of an enterprise that its founders created twice and lost twice.
