Live webcams Tolyatti - cities of Russia

Tolyatti webcams, which this site provides an opportunity to watch online, open a panorama of a large city in the middle part of the Volga region, stretching along the left bank of the Kuibyshev reservoir. Tolyatti is the administrative center of the Samara region of the same name and is located less than a hundred kilometers north of Samara.

The city of Tolyatti gives the impression of a typical Russian province, but this is only an appearance.

Togliatti seems quiet and peaceful, while several of Russia's largest industrial plants operate here. The most famous of them is undoubtedly AvtoVAZ. In addition to it, ship repair and electrical plants operate in Togliatti, as well as a developed chemical, light and food industry.
An important industrial center of Russia, due to its location on the banks of the reservoir and the dense virgin forests surrounding it, looks very picturesque. The urban area is administratively divided into three main districts. Geographically, they are also separated by deciduous forests that surround them with a dense wall.
Komsomolsky district is notable for the fact that the local recreation park is a real aspen-birch forest, which is home to many species of wild animals. Here you can meet representatives of dozens of species of birds. No less amazing are the Zhiguli Mountains, located on the opposite bank of the Volga. The local fauna boasts rare plants. Among them are Volga carnation, Zhiguli thyme and spurge, as well as many other species.
Such a riot of plant life and animal diversity is facilitated by the close proximity of the reservoir. The climate here is noticeably milder than in other regions of central Russia. Air with a comfortable humidity for life in summer warms up to an average of 21 degrees. Winter temperatures are also not too low - an average of about -13 degrees Celsius.
These natural factors help smooth out the ecological situation in Togliatti, which is teetering on the brink of critical. As in all cities, where heavy industrial enterprises are located in close proximity to residential areas.
The architecture of the city was largely determined back in 1950, when the old districts were flooded during the launch of the Volga hydroelectric power station. They were partially moved to the left bank of the Volga, but many historical architectural monuments are now hidden by the water column.

If you watch the webcams of Tolyatti online, the visible differences in the architectural styles of each of the three urban areas attract attention.

In Komsomolskoye, for example, many "Stalinka" and "Khrushchev" houses have been preserved, adjacent to modern multi-storey buildings. Particularly stands out the small village of Shlyuzovoy, located. For the ensemble of several houses, made in the style of Soviet monumental classicism, he was nicknamed the local "Petersburg".
In the Central District, you can find old wooden houses that were moved here and saved from flooding. They are deservedly considered architectural monuments and are carefully preserved in their original appearance.
The Avtozavodskoy district is distinguished by typical buildings, which began in the 60s of the 20th century. Residential high-rise buildings are built according to a clear layout in the form of several absolutely identical blocks. Initially, the district was planned as a Soviet "dream city", and for its architectural development, the creators were awarded the State Prize. However, the big plans failed. The monotonous gray landscapes of houses of the same type look uncomfortable and disharmonize with the original Volga color of the population and its customs. The area clearly lacks unique buildings, cultural and entertainment venues. There are no convenient small cafes and shops around the corner.
It was only in the 1990s that new quarters of the district began to be built according to new individual projects, and their own sights appeared. Shopping center "Rus", for example, is one of the largest in the Volga region. Extraordinarily beautiful and unique in its performance is the New Palace of Culture and Technology. Recently, the magnificent Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral was erected - the embodiment of the classical Russian church style.
The main part of the historical and cultural monuments of Togliatti are monuments, commemorative plaques and signs. Most of them are located in the Central region. The most revered by the townspeople is the Obelisk of Glory with the Eternal Flame in memory of the Togliatti heroes who died during the Great Patriotic War. It is located on Freedom Square, where city celebrations are held annually.

If a visit to the city is not included in the immediate plans, Togliatti webcams, which are convenient to watch online from home, guarantee an interesting virtual tour.
