Топик My Khabarovsk
«East or West Home is Best.» As for me I always remember this proverb when I have to live my native city Khabarovsk. To tell the truth, I usually miss Khabarovsk greatly when I’m far from it because I love it with all my heart.
As you see, I consider Khabarovsk to be my native city, though I live in Belogorsk now. The fact is I was born there in 1995. More than that, I have lived there for 11 years. So I’m going to tell you about this wonderful and fascinating city.
According to the historical facts, Khabarovsk was founded in 1880. It was called in honour of the greatest Russian explorer Yerofei Khabarov. The city is located on the picturesque bank of the river Amur. The wide river Amur with sandy banks is stretching for many kilometers. It goes without saying Khabarovsk is a fast-growing city. It’s a regional center with the population of about 700,000 people. Today Khabarovsk is the second largest city in the Far East after Vladivostok and one of the largest cities in Russia. Besides, it is an important transport junction and a major industrial centre. There are several residential areas in our city. By the way, every district has schools, kindergartens, shops, everyday services.
It’s obvious; Khabarovsk is a great cultural and educational centre. It is remarkable for its theatres, cinemas, museums, institutes and universities. As for higher educational establishments you can train there medicine, careers of railway and building engineers, bank specialists, policemen and different specialists of culture. As far as theatres concern their shows are always sold out for every performance. When I was a little child my parents took me to the puppet theatre on days off. Later I became a visitor of the musical comedy theatre. Both theatres are situated in Karl Marks Street which is the main one in the city. I can’t help mentioning that our musical comedy theatre is famous for its creations not only in Russia but in such countries as Korea, China and Japan.
No doubt, the most favourite place for the citizens is Karl Marks square which is the heart of the city. Most entertaining centres, supermarkets, banks, official establishments are located there. People are fond of spending their spare time in this square.
Among the entertaining centres that visitors can also see in Khabarovsk are city parks. Frankly speaking, they are my favourite places, particularly for early morning walks in spring and summer. The fact is I’m an early-riser and I enjoy walking there about six o’clock in the morning. At times like that it’s really hard to believe that you are in the heart of a big city.
In conclusion I’d like to say that Khabarovsk is the best city in the world for me. I advise you to visit this beautiful megapolice and enjoy its sightseeing. I’m sure you will be greatly impressed by it.

The city is named after explorer Yerofey Khabarov

The Amur river cliff is a pride of the city
There are many old buildings in the central street of the city.

The main architectural attraction of the city is Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral. It is the 3rd tallest church in Russia.
It is located near the square of Glory.
Komsomolskaya Square and the monument to the heroes of the Civil War.
Khabarovsk is a great cultural and educational centre. It is remarkable for its theatres, cinemas, museums, institutes and universities.
The Khabarovsk Museum of Local Lore, History and economy.
— The trading house of the Pyankovs (next to the restaurant «Sapporo», here is the bank now);
— The house of merchant Khlebnikov (now a pharmacy); opposite the former trade house of the Plusnins;
— The Apartment house of Takeuchi (street Muravyev-Amursky, 5); The history of this 2-storeyed building presents some interest. About 20 years ago after a heavy rain a huge black inscription RUSS appeared on the fronton through the washed out plaster. In the past it was a one-storeyed wooden house, which belonged to the Uspensky Cathedral. Later the façade of the house was faced with brick and plastered and the house was rented by private persons for a jewelry workshop and a hairdressing saloon. In 1906 a Japanese subject Takeuchi opened in a rented building a photography saloon. A few photos with sights of the old Khabarovsk bearing the signature stamp Takeuchi Photography remained at the Regional Scientific Library and at the Museum of Regional Studies. In 1911 Takeuchi built the second floor and a turret. The first floor was still rented for private workshops. The second floor was occupied by the inn RUSS. After the revolution it still served as a hotel, after a reconstruction, a restaurant was opened there. Recently the old name RUSS was given back to the restaurant. So this building is still a decoration of the main street of the city.
— Hotel «Explanad» and the municipal hotel «Far East» (now the business center «Far East»);
— The trading house «Kunst and Alberts Co» (Central deli); It is a massive building of old architecture the roof of which is decorated with bronze allegoric figures.
— The Apartment house of Zandau (now the cinema house «Sovkino»);
The Plyusnins, the Bogdanovs and the Pyankovs were the best-known merchants. They were monopolists in the wholesale and foreign trade. Fur trade as well as fishery, winery, forestry and unequal trade exchange with the natives were the sources of their income.
They say that when the first Russian settlers came here it was possible to get a sable for a glass bottle or a copper button, and one could catch this animal just around the house. Then the fur was sold 3-6 times as expensive in Irkutsk or Moscow. It was a very profitable business.
At that time the policy of the tsarist government allowed migrant merchants to trade freely and gave them rights equal to those of Russians. So German merchants, Chinese entrepreneur Tifontai, French photographer Nino, Japanese photographer Takeuchi and many others traded foreign goods here.
Originally there was a cemetery on the site. But gradually the city grew bigger and bigger and the cemetery surrounded on all sides by houses found itself right in the center of the city, and was to be closed. Until 1925 the square was called Nicholas Square in honor of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II.
A red brick building behind Lenin’s monument is a former vocational school, opened in 1903. For decades it was used as a city hospital and now it is under reconstruction. Next to it there is the Tsentralnaya Hotel, built in 1964. The Medical University which is one of the oldest and the most prestigious universities of the Russian Far East, built in 1930, is on the other side of the square. Opposite the Medical University there is the building faced with marble which houses the Krai Administration. Next to it there is one of the biggest regional banks Dalkombank.
The fountains began to operate on the square in the year of the 100th anniversary of Khabarovsk. The square got its present name in 1957. Thus, the 100th anniversary of Khabarovsk significantly changed the main square of the city. It became a place of rest of its citizens and the center of events during different celebrations. The square is used for parades and the pedestal of the Lenin monument is used as a tribune by members of the local government and important visitors during festivities.
When New Year comes this square is turned into a winter playground, beautified by a huge and magnificently decorated New Year Tree in the center and numerous ice sculptures.
My Khabarovsk
В топике Мой Хабаровск я расскажу о своем родном городе и, хотя сейчас я живу в Белогорске, я очень люблю Хабаровск – второй по величине город на Дальнем Востоке после Владивостока и один из крупнейших городов в России. Этот город – культурный и образовательный центр, в нем много театров, кинотеатров, музеев, институтов и университетов. Кроме того, это важный транспортный узел и крупный промышленный центр страны. Среди достопримечательностей могу назвать площадь Карла Маркса и городские парки Хабаровска. Я всегда скучаю по этому городу, ведь недаром говорят: “В гостях хорошо, а дома лучше”.
