The city of Saransk is the capital of the Republic of Mordovia, with a population of about 300 thousand people. The city is located on both sides of the Insar River (Volga basin), 642 km (in a straight line-500 km) southeast of Moscow. City Square - 71.5 km2. Saransk was founded in 1641, as a fortress on the southeastern outskirts of the Russian kingdom, on the Atemarskaya sequence line, which was part of a large fortified line built from 1638 to 1653 and stretching from Belgorod to Simbirsk. The fortress was called the Saransky prison and was located on the banks of the Insara River, at the mouth of the Sarley River (modern locust), on the left, higher shore. The first inhabitants of the fortress were Cossacks, Sagittarius and Pushkari, transferred to it from the nearest cities, as well as the population of nearby villages (Russians, Erzyan and Tatars). Saransk received the status of the city in 1780, the city day is celebrated on June 12. Administratively, the city is divided into three districts: Leninsky, Oktyabrsky and Proletarsky, but the locals often use the names "Center" (sometimes "city"), "Svetotekstroy", "Elevator", "South-West", "Himmash" (old and new), "Besop", "TPP-2", "Gypsy", as well as Nikolaev, removal, removal, removal, removal, removal, removal, removal, removal Lukhovka and Yalga.

I understand that not all problems have been resolved yet, not everything has been repaired, not everywhere order. But believe me, in many cities of Russia there is no part of what has been done in Saransk in recent years. Simple seemingly things, but how they transform the city - a minimum of advertising on the streets, even roads, a minimum of stalls and kiosks, large pedestrian zones, trimmed lawns, restored houses, clean streets, evening lights, everything is painted and turned white. For me personally, Saransk was remembered by the city, which I want to return again.
