I'd like to speak about Kemerovo, which is the capital
of Kuzbass and the administrative centre of Kemerovo Region.
I've been living
in this city all my life since I was born and I am proud of living here.
Kemerovo is not only a large industrial city but also a cultural centre with a
lot of theatres, cinemas, museums and even the Philarmonic Society. Besides,
there are a few sports centers and numerous sports and fitness clubs in
Kemerovo.
Kemerovo is located on the Tom River, east-northeast
of Novosibirsk, in the major coal mining region of the Kuznetsk Basin. The
population of Kemerovo is over 500 thousand people. It is located 3,482
kilometers east of Moscow. Kemerovo has
a continental climate with average temperatures between -18 degrees in
January to +20 degrees in July.
The original name of the city was Shcheglovsk. In
1932, Shcheglovsk was renamed Kemerovo and became the administrative centre of
Kemerovo Region in 1943.
The city is linked to western Russia by a branch of
Trans-Siberian Railway. The city is served by
Kemerovo International airport.
There are a number of higher education institutions in Kemerovo. Among them are: Kemerovo State University, Kuzbass State
Technical University, Kemerovo State Medical Academy, Kemerovo State University
of Culture and Arts, Kemerovo Agricultural Institute and Kuzbass Economy and
Justice Institute.
Besides, there are a number of stadiums in Kemerovo
where different sports competitions are held. The public interest for bandy is
widespread in Russia. The 2007 Bandy World Championship was held in the city.
There are a few notable people of Kemerovo. They are
Yury Arbachakov, a boxer, Marina Domashenko, an opera singer, Andrey Panin, an
actor and art director.
The honorable citizen
is Alexey Leonov, a cosmonaut.
The International Airport has been named after Leonov this year.
I'd like to say that Kemerovo is really a city where one can find
everything to their tastes and interests. There are some places here which are
worth visiting. One of them is Vesenyaya Street. It is especially beautiful in
spring and summer. It is our citizens' favourite walking area.
For those, who are fond of theatrical
performances, I would recommend to see a
performance at one of our theatres. One can't get bored as there are a number
of cinemas, clubs and different fitness centres here.
To get higher education one can enter one of Kemerovo
higher education institutions, for example, Kemerovo State University.
I think I will continue living in Kemerovo as it is a
well-developed city.
