The Golden ring of Rostov on Don
The Golden Ring in Rusia is famous all around the world. Rostov-on-Don also has its own special Golden Ring. We start our excursion into the Golden Ring of Rostov on Don from the railway station, which is the largest transport hub in the South of Russia. The railway station was bombed so hardly during the Second World War, that there was no full intact stone not only in the area of the station, but also in the closest districts. However the railway communication in the South of Russia was reestablished with the great efforts by 1944.

We drive through the main street of the city – Bolshaia Sadovaia... So we enter one of the biggest avenues of the city - Voroshilovskiy, which fluently turns into the avenue of Michael Nagibin. Probably, these avenues could be united by the common name “the avenue of Students”, because we pass the economical university, and the largest in the South of Russia Technical University The Helicopters' factory is located on the right side. This is the place, where the famous "black sharks" are produced.

The Nagibina avenue leads us to the biggest district of the city - Severniy. This district is well-known because of its toponymy. The names of all the streets and avenues are devoted to the Russian exploration of outer space. Most of the streets and avenues are called in honor of the astronauts: Volkov's, Beliaev's, Komarov's, Kapustin’s and many others. There is Orbitalnaia street, the Cosmonauts avenue etc.. There is a unique memorial of the past - the Armenian Church Surb-Hach and a spring of amazing water.

We turn to the left, and in half an hour weget to one of the oldest districts of the city - Voenved. Aerodrome and military bases were located here before the war. The memorial-house of the Soviet Union Hero Nicolay Gastello has remained. There is another monument of the War Hero to lieutenant Sergey Oganov. The commander of the battery of the 606'th shooting regiment lieutenant Sergey Oganov repelled 3 counter-attacks of tanks and infantry of the enemy, destroying 22 fascists' tanks for 2 days, governing the fire of the battery on a little barrow Beber-Oba, which was close the outlying districts of the city, 17-18 of November 1941. All the warriors of the battery, including the commander, passed away, but theydidn't let the enemy pass through. Sergey Oganov was only 20 years old. Pupils, veterans and newlyweds visit the monument. So, there's another turning, and we finish our excursion in the railway station.
