How did the Soviet park of Omsk?

The Soviet Park is known all over Russia. Omsk is a city in which there was a wonderful park area. It is here that try to get tourists who come to admire the beauties of the city.

How it all began?

The fate ordered that Alexander Moiseevich Maluntsev had to become the first head of a large enterprise in the "City of oil workers" - at the Omsk oil refinery. When he was working as director, he did a lot for the development of the town, including in terms of its improvement, the creation of green spaces. Initially, the village was in a desert area, the forest in which there was no. Very elderly people still remember those times when even a small in intensity wind became the cause of clouds of dust and sand. The lack of trees and bushes on the streets affected the situation in the town.

Finally, residents decided to end this problem once and for all. The result was not long in coming, green plantations and the Soviet park of Omsk soon appeared. These events are embodied in the verses on the pages of the book by A.Maluntsev

Together

The townspeople united their efforts in a single impulse. Without any equipment, armed only with shovels, they laid a park in a vacant lot, planted a huge number of poplars. Nothing could stop them in achieving a noble goal. So the Soviet park was created (Omsk). Photos of the park zone are pleasing to this day, they are made by tourists and local residents.

Alexander Moiseevich thought about creating a zone of green plantations. It is he who owns the realization of the idea, which has long been ripe. Numerous appeals to the Union Ministry of Petroleum Industry with a request to support a good deed of money for a long time remained unanswered. The prospect of a positive resolution of the issue was outlined in 1973, when the executive committee of the Soviet district was headed by a new chairman - Anatoly Kubrakov. As a rule, youth is inherent in the manifestation of initiative, purposefulness. Anatoly Nikolayevich turned out to be such a leader. By that time, the oil refinery was headed by Ryabov Viktor Andreevich. Together with his colleagues, who headed the rest of the enterprises in the territory of the Sovetskiy district, they decided to bring the case to the end. They were supported by VA Ryabov

First New Year's Park

Even when there was still no talk of the park zone, they were able to celebrate actively and creatively in the town. During the celebrations, various games were organized. The result of the creation of the park in the future was to be activities related to leisure on a culturally-equipped territory.

Coordination of all work on the construction of a recreation area for citizens was entrusted to a special headquarters. The Soviet Culture Park (Omsk) was to become the main venue for popular festivities and important city events.

On the eve of the New Year's holidays on December 27, 1974, local authorities decided to open the PK & O of the Soviet district with a total area of 36 hectares. The predominant territory of the park was the zone of green spaces, and only 5 hectares were taken under attractions and other objects for organizing leisure.

Continuous work on the object

The newly created Soviet Park received its first director, Grigory Abramovich Edzon, who enthusiastically took up the further development of the territory. It is difficult to overestimate his merits. Thanks to the efforts of Grigory Abramovich, his ability to get financing for the works was not only planted with trees, bushes and flowers, alleys laid. It was he who managed to make the PKIO acquire 16 attractions, a cascading staircase, a descent to the Irtysh River, an iron cascade rotating the New Year tree. The Soviet park of Omsk pleases with its development and now.

The noble initiative of Grigory Abramovich was picked up by Eskova Tamara Prokofievna. She was appointed to the post of director in 1980 and for the next 20 years she continued to equip the park, acquire attractions.
