Walking through the Kirov

Ilya Varlamov writes:

Yesterday, spent the day in Kirov. It was in this city for the first time. Unfortunately, there were meetings all day, so to walk only a few hours. This post is not intended to be an overview of the city. Of course, two hours enough to make an idea of ​​the city of half a million. It's more just my first impressions.

52 photos under the cut





01. Exit the train. A man with a hammer knocks the ice. I understand it is the water that is discharged from the toilet.



02. Station in Kirov.



03. Romantic meeting.



04. According to the old Russian tradition built up the station square shopping center. Someday, shopping centers torn down and the area returned to the city.



05. The first thing that pleasantly surprised - clean buses and trolleybuses without advertising. Kirov is probably the only city in Russia where public transport is not polluted by advertising.



06. Trolleys different. There is a brand new low-floor, there is a very old one.



07.



08. The first thing to go ride the trolley



09. In Kirov the big problems with the cleaning of the streets. Here, for example, a trolley stop on unmade stop. Passengers are invited to jump right into a snowdrift.



10. Due to the fact that the roads are poorly cleaned, trucks can drive up close to the curb. For the young it is not an obstacle ...



11. And here the elderly are at risk to be killed each time, leaving the trolley. Fall is very simple, all the ice and snow. I think now it is the main problem with the RT, which can be easily eliminated. You can clean the bad courtyard, but stop should always be in perfect order.



12. The second problem with RT - navigation. Its just not there. The trolley buses and no traffic patterns. Half of the plate with information about the route takes advertising.



13. At the stations themselves do not have any information on the routes of movement, nor of themselves buses that stop here. In general, do not know the man to deal with the Kirov transport impossible.



14. I am glad that stops the same net as he public transportation - no advertising.



15. City are generally very clean in terms of visual garbage.



16. Center



17. In the center of each second street named in honor of Communist leaders. Here, you and Lenin and Karl Marx. Even the government is building on the street German communist Karl Liebknecht. Himself Kirov it is necessary to return the historical name of Vyatka.



18. The sidewalks are not even in the center clean.



19. Parking on sidewalks and snowdrifts (

21. The most beautiful building in the city - the office of the FSB)



22. Snow-covered street in the city center.



23. The sleeping area



24. In the yards of tourists waiting for a pleasant surprise. In general, the city terribly cute.



25. See, what a beauty. Due to the fact that the streets are not sprinkled every by shit, snow white.



26. Yards



27



28. A lot of white snow. In Moscow, this does not happen. In Moscow, all the snow gray ...



29. Many machines can be seen that there are



30. Speaking of paid parking. Paid, including in the courts, we need to ensure that people do not just throw your car for months. These are machine-drifts have to evacuate at all.



31. Separate collection of waste



32. Waste sorting



33. The pedestrian infrastructure in the courts



34. Improvement.



35. Many yards are kiosks with drinking water. It is worth 15 rubles for 5 litorv. All automatically. Very cool stuff



36. The city is a big problem with pedestrian crossings. Firstly, there is no marking. Second, the drivers do not miss pedestrian. At these intersections it is necessary to make refuges. This greatly enhances security.



In any case, recall, should look like a safe move:



37. Third, due to the fact that the streets are not clean, often just before entering the ice. People fall under the car.



38. In general, go to Kirov and not fall does not work for anybody. I wonder whether there are any statistics on injuries in the streets? It would be interesting to make a rating of Russian cities. Where most fractures per 1,000 inhabitants? My feeling Kirov could claim the first place.



39. City of relief, a lot of steep climbs and very slippery stairs.



40. I do not really understand, how can seniors go. Himself a couple of times just was not killed.



41. The sleeping area



42. Katz surveyed the area look and said: "Somewhere here are born titushky." Need to do something.



43. Yards very sad ... Even shops nowhere.

46. ​​The pedestrian area ... also empty, nothing. Snow is piled up in the middle of a street.



47. Another city landmark - the court where the bulk planting.
