Festive fireworks, a fire show and a performance by a Russian pop star - Seversk residents will receive all this for the 55th anniversary of their city. Historically, Seversk celebrates its birthday on Youth Day, thereby emphasizing that the city is young. This year he turns 55 years old. Although the construction of Seversk, or as it was called before - Tomsk-7, began simultaneously with the construction of the Siberian Chemical Combine plants in 1949, the status of a city was assigned to the closed territorial entity in 1954.
For the current anniversary, they decided to chip in 3 million rubles on an equal basis - the city itself and the Siberian Chemical Plant. Although, as they say in the northern administration, much more was spent from the city treasury along with landscaping work - almost 10 million. The financial issue became the main one in determining the holiday program.
The main events in Seversk will take place on Saturday and Sunday. On June 26, the Seversky Arbat will open at the Rossiya cinema, a big sports festival will be held at Yantar, and in the evening, on the square near the Ostrovsky House of Culture, a gala concert of the creative teams of the Siberian Chemical Combine will take place, however, that’s not all.
Oleg Gazmanov is also scheduled to give a speech, whose visit was fully paid for by the nuclear industry. This is a gift from SCC to the townspeople. At the end of the pop star’s concert, a festive fireworks display will be given here on the theater square. The cost of fireworks is 160 thousand rubles.
The culmination of the Seversk anniversary celebrations will begin this Saturday at 9 pm. Residents will be able to see the fireworks there, on Theater Square at 11 p.m.
