Monument of devotion  

The monument of "Devotion" is a monument in Tolyatti in the form of a dog patiently waiting for its owners.

In the summer of 1995, a dog, a German Shepherd, appeared in the Avtozavodsky district, on the side of the Southern Highway, one of the busiest streets of Tolyatti. He was constantly in the vicinity of the same place, where thousands of citizens saw him every day. Residents of neighboring houses fed him, periodically tried to tame him, built him a kennel, but he invariably found himself on the side of the road, watching the cars. Not even his nickname was known. Therefore, the people began to call him "Faithful" or "Konstantin"

This went on for 7 years. The dog was always in his usual place for everyone, regardless of the weather and the time of year. In 2002, the dog died.

Legend

The most common version, which most citizens adhere to, says that the dog was the only survivor of a car accident. A more romantic one is that the owners of the dog are newlyweds returning from their honeymoon. The young wife died before the doctors arrived. A few hours later, a man died in intensive care. And the dog remained waiting for him at the place where he was last seen alive. She was waiting for the owner to come. The dog was guarding his master's last resting place. And every day he rushed to the cherry "nines": "The owner is back!". It is impossible to establish the authenticity of the legend. There are also less exalted and romantic versions of the reasons for the dog's behavior.

  Monument

The idea of such a sculpture was proposed by Ksenia Naletova, a student of the 8th grade of gymnasium No. 39 of the Komsomolsk district, back in 2000, when the Museum of historical and cultural heritage of Tolyatti announced a competition for new monuments in the city. Ksenia proposed a mock-up of the monument to the dog. The contestant named her monument "Monument of Loyalty": "There is a dog on the pedestal, a ribbon around the dog symbolizing the road. At the end of the ribbon is a star — the Soul of the owner. The dog's gaze is turned to the star." A photo of this layout was published in the newspaper Freedom Square. The dog's head After the dog's death, a sign was placed by the roadside with the inscription: "To the dog who taught us love and devotion." The poster was blown away by the wind, it was attacked by vandals. The Tolyatti community took the initiative to erect a real monument to the Faithful. The monument was created with the funds collected by the townspeople. The project of Ulyanovsk sculptor Oleg Klyuev won the competition. The sculptor built the monument in such a way that passing through the road, it seems to drivers that the dog turns its head after moving cars, as if still hoping to see its dead owners.

Zhiguli Mountains

Zhiguli Mountains are a part of the Volga upland on the right bank of the Volga River, skirted by the bend of the Samara Bow. Zhiguli Nature Reserve and Samarskaya Luka National Park are located in the mountains. The highest point is Mount Observer — 381.2 m above sea level.

The name of the mountains has changed many times over time. An unknown Persian author of the 10th century in the "Book on the limits of the World from East to West" calls them the Pecheneg Mountains. The author of the "Kazan Chronicle" of the 1560s — Girlish. Modern researchers ascribe the name to the Turkic dzhegula — "harnessed, harnessed, horse-drawn", after the name of the boatmen and the place where they lived[1]. Another version connects the origin of the name with the Volga freemen — robber gangs that lived in the mountains for many years. The owners of the captured ships had to either pay a bribe or be flogged with burning rods. Such flogging was called "burn", "burn", and the people who produce it were called "zhiguli". There are other versions of the origin of the name. Before the establishment of Soviet power, the mountains were called Zhegulevsky, and the current village of Zhiguli was called Zhegulikha (through E). The name Zhiguli Mountains was first given in the work of academician Peter-Simon Pallas (1741-1811) "Travels through different provinces of Russia

Geography and geology

Zhiguli are the only mountains of tectonic origin on the Russian plain, considered young (about 7 million years old) and growing. According to various estimates, their height increases by about 1 cm in 100 years. The Zhiguli Mountains are a manifestation of the Zhiguli fault, which is an uplift formed as a result of meridional compression of the earth's crust. The mountains are composed of sedimentary rocks — limestones and dolomites, which are much older — more than 270 million years old (Upper Carboniferous Permian). Oil is being extracted (the fields are part of the Volga-Ural oil and gas province), limestones for cement raw materials, dolomites and limestones for building stone, and natural bitumen (asphalt) was mined until the middle of the XX century. In the northern part of the Samara Luka, in the Zhiguli area, the Zhiguli hydroelectric power station was built.

Tourism

Zhiguli Mountains are very attractive for tourists due to their landscapes. However, most of them are closed to the public due to their location on the territory of the I. I. Sprygin Zhiguli State Reserve. All the more visited are the rest of the places. There are always a lot of tourists in the Stone Bowl tract. Organized excursions come here, many come by private cars. A ski track is being built near Zhigulevsk.
