About the Kaliningrad region

Troy. And began her. Women's logic.

As I already wrote about a couple of times and always post the Kaliningrad pictures from Svetlogorsk, I 'll tell a little about all the cities, and there really choose what you like.

Kaliningrad. - A wonderful city. City, where people come and stay. If you move somewhere and Kaliningradians - at once to Moscow. At least all my friends of those that had gone - gone to the capital. And here come a couple of days and left on the year - these, too many of those whom I know.

It is difficult to name the European city, yet it differs from the Russian cities of its compact size and at the same time, the saturation. The city can be crossed during the night of 40-45 minutes from end to end, but lived in it about half a million people. The city of almost every family has a car, but ride it does nowhere else - a small town and try to choose work in 10-15 minutes from home to transport or half- foot. Many shopping malls, restaurants. But the point is probably not the case, and what to patch in a square mile can be a lot of similar projects, and all seem to be enough space under the sun.

Kaliningradians - quiet, apathetic to politics in the mass of the people. We go to the polls is bad, weak political zhiznbyu interested in Russia and abroad. If that worries us, because this is when we will make it possible to cross the border without a passport or at least make a reality of the annual receipt of the Schengen without detours. In fact, with the passport of the Russian Federation can only fly by plane, train needs to have a passport.

The collapse of KDavia, oddly enough, has a positive impact on prices and frequency of flights - now you can fly cheaper and any company. The only pity is that the direct flight was very little, again all with a change in Moscow or St. Petersburg. On a flight to St. Petersburg prices cost about 2,700 to one side when buying a fixed-term ( 15 minutes before the flight) - slightly more than three thousand. The train, by comparison, is a little cheaper if you drive under normal conditions, but the difference in time - almost a day.

Another advantage of the region - its climate. Perhaps someone it seems too wet, but really cold winters or hot summers we've never. In winter, the last ten years the maximum -15-20, and usually no more than 5, in the summer - 20-30, usually 25. So it almost does not require large amounts of spending on clothing. Those who use the car often neglected buying winter coats.

The city has many visitors. During the period of adjustment area used as a springboard to jump into Europe Kazakh Russian Germans, but many here have remained. Then came a lot of people from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, too, but mostly Russian. If you meet on the streets and the southern face - that is, most likely, with buildings gastrabaytery. But a lot of Caucasians. How and when they started to move into the area - I do not know, probably, have always been. But the national conflicts never noticed. Intolerance occurs, but where it does not exist.

The city has many churches and denominations. In the long working various religious sects, some have even rebuilt the church. But the dominant position, of course, is the Orthodox Church: the largest cathedral in the area is built on the central square of the Orthodox Church is located in the former Roman Catholic cathedrals, part of the rebuilt. However, the religious fervor I had never noticed on the streets. Of course, there are willing to stand in a procession or a half a kilometer queue for holy water, but that it was of a mass character - there is no such. Kaliningradians quite apathetic in this respect.

Here we make a smooth turn and proceed to a brief description of the regional campuses.

It should begin, of course, from Svetlogorsk. After Kaliningrad - is the most hyped city in the area, the resort of federal value. Despite the grandiose name, is actually a tiny city, divided into two parts: for residents and tourists. Residents live a bit farther from the sea in Svetlogorsk -1, half of them walking on the hill Svetlogorsk -2, part of the city densely crowded hotels and cafes.

Svetlogorsk. - It will not even Turkey and Egypt. It's just a small town with lots of greenery. Places of entertainment here a little: the calculation of the fact that the tourist chooses to hold most of the time, or at the beach or hotel. In recent years the infrastructure of the city is gradually adding new objects, but the old-fashioned businessmen prefer to put the hotels and guest houses, not really thinking what people will occupy themselves in the evening. However, even built hotel is still small - the summer is rare to find a free place, even in expensive hotels.

Under the Svetlogorsk I like coniferous forests. If you move away from the sea, then gradually get to the place where on the horizon, a huge cliff, overgrown with pines - the feeling drop dead. In the forest, many mushrooms, growing blackberries. When I lived in a sanatorium, they often ran over the fence to look for anything out of the forest reserves. However, tourists do their thing - every 200-500 meters into the forest track from the next picnic.

Zelenogradsk. - The second largest resort, but much less developed. But then somewhere there is a nude beach. On the whole beach in Zelenogradsk larger. The town itself very tiny - in fact a couple of streets. In recent years the city was rebuilt several new neighborhoods with modern houses, but they have not sold, and - no one is expensive and.

Under Zelenograd many suburban towns such as - the land is municipal and rather generously distributed, and sold to natural persons. Therefore, there is a really great towns, where people live year-round, leaving a job in Kaliningrad Petrovo, Sokolniki, robin. If you are not scared and holding the wheel tightly, then 15-20 minutes to get to the city. In these towns you can look at samples of folk architecture: the huge mansions and tiny crooked wooden houses. Recently there has been a clear trend: who can, moves in such settlements - to build a house is cheaper than buying an apartment in Kaliningrad.

Between the Svetlogorsk and Zelenograd begins. The Curonian Spit. - A piece of land that separates the sea and the Strait of. It is believed the Federal Reserve and the resort. Type can not build here, but still build. Then pull down. Then again build. The Director reserves the type of cool, is known for draconian attitude towards tourists who break the rules of the reserve and harsh comments in the press. Spit itself is nothing special in itself is not. In fact, you can see here only the dancing group of the forest and the dunes. The sea is namyvaet algae on the beach, so swimming - who both. Frankly, I did not insert a braid.

Out of the ordinary towns, of which there are many in the field, it is worth mentioning Baltiysk Chernyakhovsk and Sovetsk. At the base of Baltiisk is the Baltic Fleet and the naval port, or as he called it. Previously, the city allowed strictly on presentation of a Russian passport. Now the rules are not so strict, but the gearbox still stands. The town itself is small but convenient built in my opinion - when it was, almost confused. In the town lived a lot of military people, or, in one way or another connected with the fleet. Many go to work in Kaliningrad - distance allows. In the town of a little.

Chernyakhovsk - a town in the center of the field, the transport hub, the city of my childhood. There is wine and cognac factory Alliance, famous for its blend ' Königsberg ', ' Insterburg ', ' Alliance ' and ' Trophy '. They also poured shampoo, wine and more. Here, based on the confectionery division of functions of the Latvian factory Karuna. There is a large meat processing plant. There is stud. Stand assembly plants. That's a lot of businesses, and no work. Young people trying to move to Kaliningrad, the elderly are busy in the gardens. I do not regret that dumped here.

Sovetsk much like Chernyakhovsk, but there is one important difference - on the other side of the river Lithuania. And it immediately directs the business within the city to this point. Lithuanians on the other side go every day to refuel in tanks expanded. Our walkers are in Lithuania, cigarettes and vodka.

The population of barely more than a million, but the government cherishes the dream of increase in half. I doubt that it's real. Center and the life of the rubber is not in it much more expensive than in the. And in the area to go - it must have a reason to move it - not from each city you can ride to work in Kaliningrad.

But at the same time, Kaliningrad suffers from a lack of normal and adequate labor. Find a professional tolerable for a reasonable price is almost impossible for a long time, or employed and happy, or just no one. Once a person learns to decent living, he or quickly and well and independently employed or going to Moscow or to Europe. Therefore, only a catastrophic shortage of personnel. As a result, a strong gap in wages between professionals and beginners.

The average salary is now in the city - a 12- 15tys. , Salary of 30-40 thousand. - This is a very good salary. Eat 8 to 12 thousand. for odnushku. Treshka 15 - 25tys. Nutrition Month: 5-15 thousand. for a family of two or three people. Average check in the cafe for two: £ 500-1000.

I advise you to move to Kaliningrad? . And the thought of relocation leave themselves.
