In the distant the Sea of ​​Japan. Vladivostok

Vladivostok is quite often compared with other seaside towns. Fridtjof Nansen at the beginning of the last century it seemed like Naples. Nikita Khrushchev said that it was the Soviet San Francisco. I'm walking around the city and then caught myself thinking that it reminds me of Novorossiysk, the Sevastopol, then, for some reason, Murmansk. But no, Vladivostok is Vladivostok.

3.Segodnya Vladivostok is a large Russian port on the Pacific Ocean. But the port would not be, not whether it is convenient, jutting deep into the shore of the bay. Chinese, trades are fishing and marine reptiles before the final consolidation of these territories for Russia, called it the Golden trepang. A founding father of Vladivostok governor-general of Eastern Siberia Count Muraviev-Amur, it recalled the Golden Horn in Istanbul. For a long time thinking about the name of the bay did not, and since then she and is called - the Golden Horn. And along the strait between the mainland and the neighboring archipelago was given the name of the Bosphorus. Eastern Bosphorus.

15. Statistics show that Vladivostok the Russian leader in the number of cars per capita. It is difficult to disagree, the day the streets are in a hopeless traffic jams. But Saturday morning, it is a short and blessed time, when any city allows himself to sleep longer after everyday. On the streets almost no cars or people. Quiet and deserted Svetlanskaya.

21.V unlike a bridge across the Golden Horn, in Russian foot bridge passage is closed. Therefore, the Russian island can move only by bus or taxi. For a long time the island belonged to the military.

Eleventh now abandoned the fort and museum erected in the battery. But they say it will take quite a bit of time to reactivate and result in the two embattled turrets taken once a dreadnought "Poltava".
