The Mayor
of Kazan together with his family took part in celebrations of the 50th
anniversary of Nizhnekamsk, his native city.
The City
Park pleased him the most out of all open objects. A fountain, a cafe, sports
grounds, a sports equipment rental building and children's playgrounds appeared
in it, and the famous 196-meter-high TV tower began to shine with 16 thousand
shades of illumination, which will vary according to the seasons and days of
the week.
Ilsur
Metshin remembered how, as high school students, they planted trees there and
even took care of them for a time, everyone knew their tree. “The TV tower,
which has always been our Eiffel Tower, and the illuminations on it are
amazing. This is something incredible! Even I, the person who travels a lot and
tries to see all the best and bring to Kazan, was pleasantly amazed at the
scale and level of park’s improvement”, said the Mayor of Kazan.
The
platform “From Kazan with Love” became one of the most popular areas of the
holiday on August 20, which pleased the citizens and guests with a gastronomic
festival, street performances, a large children's area with modern developing
entertainment, a concert of the State Symphony Orchestra of the RT and soloists
of the Mariinsky Theater.
According
to him, Nizhnekamsk before the 50th anniversary and Nizhnekamsk after the 50th
anniversary are two different cities. It's like Kazan before the Universiade
and after it, compared I. Metshin. “I believe that the 50th anniversary in
Nizhnekamsk was its Universiade. People thanked for the holiday. So much joy
and pride for the native city is worth a lot!”
