Siberian Chita Un po 'di storia
Siberian Chita Un po 'di storia In 1999, I decided to live one year in the city of Chita, Russia. For those who are unaware, is a city of Chita in Siberia. History The city of Chita is the administrative center of Chita Oblast, which is similar to that of a State. It is located in the very dab in the middle of Siberia and is located 500 miles east of Lake Baikal. Since 1930? D through the end of communism, Chita was closed city. During this period, foreigners were banned from traveling to Chita and many Russians. The base of the closure of the city was apparently its proximity to China and military installations. In some circles, Chita is known as the city of intellectuals in exile due to start in '? December? were exiled to the city after not addressed in 1825. Despite the informal name, the arrival of the Decembrists was a blessing for the city. The well-educated exiles made an effort to educate the citizens of Chita and trade. Through these efforts, the city became a major trading portal in Siberia, particularly since the natural resources of the area of timber, gold and uranium. The architecture, Chita is a clash of styles. First, Chita is populated with communist concrete buildings. Apartment buildings are almost universally five stories high and, frankly, are not more attractive than you? Ve each scene. Unlike the Soviet signatures, Chita is populated mostly with wooden houses. The houses are equivalent to those you see in any mountainous area and very comfortable. The clash of these two styles are a number of buildings in the center of Chita. During the Second World War, large numbers of Japanese soldiers were taken by the Russians as prisoners of war. Through the machinations that at this time, they were put to work in the construction industry. Yes, you guessed. In the center of Chita, you'll find buildings with a touch of Japanese style. The buildings are clearly not Japanese, but differ from other styles present. Having lived in town for a year, I can say that is worth a visit. The Trans-Siberian railway through the city, so access is very simple.
