Volgodonsk is a wonderful city, a city of contrasts. It can be called without a twinge of conscience "a museum of Soviet urbanism," inspired perhaps by the architecture of which only the maestro of Constructivism and Functionalism, Corbusier, could have. At the same time, the floodgates of Volgodonsk would be appropriate to look in tsarist Russia, they look so pompous and imperial.
This one, one of the youngest cities in Russia, is difficult to discern the face, and yet it is. Lies behind the abundance of rare for our country on the idea of monuments, hides in the shadow of the international competition of young pianists, bashfully looks through the difficult fate of the industrial center of the Rostov region. Yes, it is impossible to fall in love with or be charmed by Volgodonsk, but be imbued with its hard history or respect for perseverance in achieving your goals - easy.
