Mikhailovskaya Column in Izhevsk
Izhevsk, square opposite the st. Sovetskaya, d. 1

Udmurt State Philharmonic
Izhevsk, ul. Pushkinskaya, 245 
Any philharmonic society is an amazing place where the spectator is left alone with music and tries to comprehend this most emotional and mysterious art form, which is difficult to analyze and penetrates directly into the a heart. The Udmurt State Philharmonic has become the home of music for the residents of Izhevsk.
The Armory Capital of the country - Izhevsk - at first glance - an industrial center that is abundant in Russia: Sovetskaya, Lenin and Kirov streets, a couple of cathedrals, several parks, a city pond and two dozen plants . However, if you look closely, the capital of Udmurtia contains many surprises.
Built in the beginning of the 19th century according to a single plan, Izhevsk is called "Ural Petersburg". Even in the industrial zone of the Izhmash weapons plant, which is essentially inscribed in the city (the factory complex is the historical center from which the city's buildings began), this is confirmed by the fact that the building of the plant on the bank of the Izhevsk pond unexpectedly resembles the St. Petersburg Admiralty. And the triumphal column on the Square of the Armory before the Culture Palace of the same name is distinctly reminiscent of the Alexandrinsky Pillar
Mikhailovskaya Column (though reconstructed, the original was not preserved) - a direct relative of Alexandrinsky: it was staged around the same time in honor of Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich, Alexander I.
And the former Alexander Nevsky Prospect, still renamed into Sovetskaya Street, is the main thoroughfare of the city, overlooking Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. True, unfortunately, the old building remained small, much more Soviet buildings. But some iconic objects are being recreated - for example, the majestic Cathedral of Michael the Archangel from the red brick.
Izhevsk is also good in that the main city attractions are located within walking distance. It is enough to stop in the center and not be lazy to walk.
Of course, it is obligatory to visit the Kalashnikov museum in Izhevsk. This two-story structure is even larger than the museum: there is an exhibition of small arms, as well as a cafe and a shooting gallery. Familiar with the biography of the famous armourer and the history of Izhevsk, visitors can immediately shoot from the real "Kalash."

Izhevsk pond, dug in 1760 at the arms factory - the first local landmark. Why pond, once the name for this reservoir is shallow, no one knows, it happened historically. Very far from its shore you can see a huge monument with a height of 14-storey house - "Forever with Russia" - dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the voluntary adherence of Udmurtia to the Russian Empire.
However, resourceful townspeople aptly call it "Skiing Kulakovoy": pointing rather to the famous Udmurtian skier Galina Kulakov, four-time Olympic champion
Directly from the foot of the monument begins the embankment, the pride of the former builder, now the president of Udmurtia Alexander Volkov, who speaks of it as "no worse than in Nice". However, a lot has been built by his efforts in the republic, including the Izhevsk Zoo and the circus, considered to be one of the best in the country.
Pearl of the City - Cosmonauts Park on Votkinsky Highway, green zone necessary in the industrial center. In addition to traditional attractions, this popular place of family recreation attracts tourists with a terrific planetarium with a model of the solar system executed, as stated, with observance of all proportions and distances between planets.
Go down to the Izhevsk pond - here you can make a wish and rub Izhik's hat. Local grumbles that this talisman of Izhevsk is similar to the "Ryazan mushroom with eyes", which in its turn detracts from the worthy history of the city. However, they still love him: Izhik, despite his size, is a settler and dressed up, presenting himself in front of curious people in a caftan with a jewel and a cylinder.
By the way, Izhik's outfit resembles another no less controversial new monument to Izhevsk, the crocodile. This crocodile, not proletarian on the bench, symbolizes the Izhevians themselves (not the Izhevans, they will correct you here): "crocodiles" were called plant workers wearing uniform green caftans.
However, there are many non-standard artobjects in Izhevsk: a charming goat of scrap metal protects the entrance to the Goat Park, on the northern tract the three-meter elk attracts the spectators of the travelers and collects on their horns the bouquets of the newlyweds, and at the beauty salon on the Petrov street, huge jagged iron scissors rise, as from a horror film.
Zh The people who are thinking here are unconventional: they will arrange a concert on the bells of three cathedrals at once in different parts of the city, they will open a spring named after Steve Jobs, or they will be awarded the title of honorable Udmurt by Albert Einstein or Emir Kusturica.
