One of the many Russian cities that was renamed during the years of Soviet power, but never regained its ancient sonorous name. Meanwhile, before the Russians learned about Friedrich Engels, this settlement through its centuries-old history passed with the euphonious name "Pokrovsk", but about this, except for the indigenous inhabitants of modern Engels, almost no one remembers.
To date this city is a kind of suburb of Saratov; located on the other bank of the Volga, Engels until recently was a remote province, but with the construction of a bridge across the river, the life of the Engels significantly changed, since the distance to the nearest major settlement was only 14 kilometers.
