If you are a fan of Italian architecture, but have not yet saved up money for a trip to Italy, go to Yoshkar-Ola.The view of the embankment on summer nights is especially fascinating – you can rent a boat and go on a boat trip to admire this "Trans-Volga Venice".

The clock "12 Apostles" is located in a building with towers, built based on the Sheremetyevo Castle
But its main feature, of course, is not in them, but in the balcony near the clock tower: every day, every three hours from 9 to 21, Jesus Christ appears on it with 12 apostles to musical accompaniment, they pass along the balcony and hide in the neighboring tower
Over the past 10 years, the city has changed a lot.The Malaya Kokshaga River flows in the city and the Bruges embankment has grown on the shore.
The embankment decorated the architecture of the city, monuments, buildings in Italian and Dutch styles appeared. A bridge has been built across the river, it fits perfectly with the embankment.
Yoshkar-Ola means “red city” in Mari and was formerly known as Tsaryovokokshaysk (Царевококшайск) before 1919, as Krasnokokshaysk (Краснококшайск) between 1919 and 1927 (both after the Malaya Kokshaga River, which runs through the city) and Charla (Чарла), by the Mari people. The city of Yoshkar-Ola is located in the Republic of Mari El and is its capital. The total area of the city is 100 km2.
Yoshkar-Ola was established as a military fortress in 1584, following the Russian conquest of the Mari-inhabited regions of the Volga and it’s tributaries. It is currently one of the centers of the Mari people (especially of the Meadow Mari subgroup) and the administrative center of the Yoshkar-Ola city district.
The city has many attractions, which include: the Yoshkin-cat sculpture, Obolensky-Nogotkov Square, Patriarchal Square, the Square of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Kremlin. In addition, the republic and the city are famous for their forests and numerous lakes. So the protected natural areas include the national park "Mari Chodra", as well as lakes Yalchik, Shchuchye, Marmot and others.
At some point, in front of thousands of spectators, Nata spun in a tailspin. As she herself will later say "lost the land." When she leveled off and still opened the parachute, 40 meters remained to the ground. She didn't have time to group up.
Nata did not land on her feet, but hit her back on the surface of the ground. Conscious, but with numerous bruises, she was taken to the hospital.
The girl had two operations, it seemed that her condition was improving, but even medical luminaries were powerless. On June 27, 1936, at 9:10 a.m. local time, Nata Babushkina died.
The name of the heroic parachutist was given to a square in Yoshkar-Ola, opposite the old hospital where she died, streets in her native Kostroma and in the village of Ilyinsky near Moscow, in the area of which six record holders landed in 1935. Busts and monuments were installed in many cities, today only one remains - in Yoshkar-Ola.

After jumping at a given height, she did not open the parachute. Perhaps another daredevilism has manifested itself. I wanted to impress the audience. Nata, like Valery Chkalov, was fond of risky tricks, for which she received reprimands more than once.
The jumps took place on June 17, 1935. Six girls successfully jumped from a height of 7035 meters. The record was set. At that time, Nata Babushkina had only 14 jumps on her account. Instantly fame came to Nata. Reports and photos on the front pages of central and local newspapers. Awarding the Order of the Red Star in the Kremlin. Speech on Moscow radio. Numerous receptions, meetings and communication with Stalin, Voroshilov, Gorky, Romain Rolland, Kosarev, Lyubov Orlova.
