Armavir. Sights of the city, photos with descriptions of what to see

The forerunner of modern Armavir, which received city status in 1914, was a small village. In the village on the banks of the Kuban River from the first third of the 19th century. lived families of ethnic Armenians who sought to preserve the faith of their ancestors - Christianity, among the newly converted Muslim Circassians. The transformation of the village into a polis was largely facilitated by the construction of the Vladikavkaz railway. Following this, manufacturing enterprises and migrant workers appeared in the city. Today Armavir is one of the five largest settlements in the Krasnodar Territory and is considered a significant regional cultural, educational, industrial, and transport center. The city has a developed tourism infrastructure. The sights of Armavir, photos and descriptions of which you will find below, are of undoubted interest for the inquisitive traveler.

The importance of the city in the modern world

Armavir is located in the south of Russia in the Krasnodar region. With nearby settlements it forms a municipality with the status of the urban district of Armavir. It has the status of a city of regional subordination, part of the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation. Armavir is located about 200 km from Krasnodar and 1.4 thousand km from Moscow.

The area of ​​the city is 280 km², the height of its center above sea level is about 200 m. Geographic coordinates of the city: 44.9892 north latitude and 41.1234 east longitude or 44°59′21″ north latitude. and 41°07′24″ E. Local residents celebrate the City Day holiday on September 15.

Armavir is located on the left bank of the river called Kuban, in the place where the river flows from the northern foothills. It is located between the Black and Caspian seas, at the confluence of one of the largest tributaries called Urup. Thus, the Greater Caucasus Mountains are formed, which, together with the Lesser Caucasus Mountains, form a single system of mountains in the region.

Armavir, whose sights attract numerous tourists, was founded in 1839. Until 1848, the settlement was called “Armenian village”. From 1848 to 1876 it was called “Armavir village”. From 1876 to 1914 it was called the village of “Armavir”, and only in 1914 the settlement received city status.

Note!

Currently, the entire Krasnodar region is famous for the huge amount of useful resources that are mined in the surrounding area.

Is it worth moving?

It is difficult to say what forces native Muscovites and St. Petersburg residents to leave megacities and go to the Krasnodar Territory.

Armavir, like any other city, has its pros and cons. Many local residents earn good money, live in large, comfortable houses and drive good cars. There are several industries in the city.

The streets are clean and well-groomed. There are many places in the city where you can relax with children. There is little entertainment for adults: two cinemas and a small theater.

Positive and negative sides of Armavir

Negative reviews about the city

Below are real reviews from people who moved.

Galina : “Armavir has the mentality of a big village. If it weren’t for my husband, who has a business here, I wouldn’t live here a day, it’s very difficult.

Here, as probably nowhere else, nepotism is developed. Without connections you are nothing. If you need to enroll your child in kindergarten, you must contact someone and pay. The amount is considerable, it’s easier for me to hire a nanny who will pay attention only to my child.

It is customary to provide sponsorship to the school. This is done on a voluntary-compulsory basis, otherwise the child will have big problems.

There is practically no work in the city. Mostly people work as taxi drivers (men) or work in shops and markets. The fact that a taxi driver earns the same as an engineer is generally ridiculous.

One of the most important criteria for me is mentality. He is very specific here. People are unfriendly and gloomy. I noticed one detail: almost everyone here talks very loudly, and there is a characteristic accent in their speech.

One good thing is the climate and fresh air. If you move, then live only outside the city, away from everyone.”

Peter : “Armavir under the USSR was a wonderful industrial city. Today it is a city of taxi drivers, barbers and salesmen. There are almost no working factories left; almost all enterprises are closed.

The real salary, if we talk about those who work officially and receive “clean” wages, is 10,000–15,000 rubles/month. All kinds of sales representatives live better. And even in this case, you need to have your own car and be prepared to ruin it. You will have to travel a lot, and the quality of the roads here... well, is approximately the same as in central Russia. You should be prepared to plow from early morning until late at night, only then can you expect to receive as much as 20,000–25,000 rubles per month.

Anyone planning to move for permanent residence to Armavir should be prepared for the dishonesty of local employers. A person can be hired supposedly for an internship, although, in fact, he is offered to work for free for a month. And then the words await him: “Sorry, you are not suitable for us.” And where to go with this?

For those over 45, it is almost impossible to find a job, except perhaps as a security guard somewhere in a kindergarten, and then through a lot of connections. And the salary will be something around 10,000 rubles.

The people here are very difficult. Although, maybe I was so unlucky... However, I lived in many cities, including in the North, but nowhere else have I seen such arrogant people. This is especially true for young people.”

Irina : “It’s very hot here in the summer. I am hypertensive, and for me above 25 degrees is already hell. And in Armavir, starting from June (and sometimes from May), hot weather sets in. In July-August it is impossible to go outside.

As for work, there is practically none. Of course, you can always answer something like “He who seeks will always find,” but not everyone is ready to work for 8–10 thousand. In Moscow, schoolchildren earn so much money by offering all sorts of nonsense on the streets! And here you have to sweat a lot for this amount.

It’s more difficult for girls to get a job: the employer is afraid that you will go on maternity leave, even if you are only 18, and you don’t have a husband, or even a permanent boyfriend!”

Positive reviews about the city

Ksenia : “My husband and I moved to Armavir from Siberia. I immediately liked the city: warm, sunny, cozy and compact. It seems to me that this is because Armavir residents have a different mentality, different from Siberians.

In the city, up to 70% is in the private sector. The houses are very tall and spacious. “Quadrature” - from 100 to 300 m. It is noteworthy that large families rarely live in such mansions. Basically it's husband, wife, child. There are no wooden houses. Almost all residential buildings are built from high-quality bricks.

A very green city. Because of the greenery, even very high temperatures are almost not felt.”

Maxim : “The city is clean and quite well-groomed. There are many excellent stores, and there are never any problems with the products.

There is little entertainment. It helps that in the summer we often go to the sea. In July the heat begins to be very intense, so it’s hard to live without the sea.

Regarding work, an important nuance: locals do not like to employ people officially. Workers should be especially careful: they may not get paid.

A super qualified specialist can find a good job. IT specialists settle down normally. For everyone else, I don’t see the point in coming here, because it’s unrealistic to live on 8-12 thousand a month.”

Ecology

Despite the fact that a large number of industrial plants are located on the territory of Armavir, the environmental situation as a whole is within normal limits. This is due to the fact that the local administration strongly encourages the installation of super modern treatment equipment in production.

The only problem in Armavir is unauthorized garbage dumps in the city and its surroundings. A large-scale cleanup operation is currently underway. Numerous exotic trees significantly improve the appearance and ecology of the city.

Childhood in Armavir. About the 1970s

≡ May 13, 2020

About penal battalions against the myths of the “Penal Battalion” →


Armavir of the 1970s is the city of my childhood. More precisely, I was a child at the beginning of that decade, and by its end I had already turned into a long and fidgety teenager. Armavir for me was divided into two parts unequal in size and significance: “City” and “My World”. The city that lay outside of My world was multidimensional and was divided into several regions according to the degree of its perception by me. There was, as they would now say, “the near abroad,” and there was also the distant one. The “distant” area included the most important and attractive area, which adults called “the city.” The “city”, or simply its center, seemed to be twisted and layered around the square on which stood a monument to Lenin - a local legend - with a letter addressed to future generations, and a hand pointing either to a maternity hospital or to a dumpling shop. Among the remote but well-known areas was a kind of “island” on which my grandmother’s parents lived. Going there, my grandmother said: “I’ll go to that region.” “That land” was directly adjacent to the most remote part of the world known to me - a recreation area, the main component of which was reservoir No. 1.

Going beyond the boundaries of My world was only possible with my parents, and if it was still possible to go on a risky expedition to the “near abroad” such as a veterinary technical school or a “hundred-apartment” building with a store on the ground floor, then imagine this in relation to the “city” or even more so a reservoir, was absolutely impossible. This was regarded as a grave crime, the punishment for which was imagined to be so inevitable and supposedly terrible that one did not even want to think about it. In addition to this, parents' stories about gypsies stealing children, and mysterious drivers of rare private cars who lured children with sweets or the promise of just a ride, and then took them to God knows where, created fear. No one else saw the children.

On the way to the “vodokhralka” it was necessary to cross the railway, where there was not a day without someone’s head being cut off or, at best, an arm. The inevitability of this was that everyone certainly tried to crawl under the cars, and the drivers were just waiting for that... Of course, no one imprisoned them for hitting a person, unlike the drivers. Even if you miraculously managed to break through the railway, you will certainly drown at the reservoir. And if you decided to go to the river, then the whole company was doomed. I didn’t understand at all how and why people go swimming in these places.

And if within the boundaries of My world there was only one dangerous place: this was a wine and vodka store “on the threshold”, around which almost always only dubious individuals crowded, then outside of My world such places followed one after another.

For example, blacks lived in the veterinary college. I don’t remember anyone else living there. Blacks seduced Russian blue-eyed girls all the time. Local sexual patriots periodically gathered under the windows of their hostel and in the very last words described the peculiarities of the anthropogenesis of Africans, trampling on international friendship and assistance to “third world” countries. Battles with blacks were considered special events. History includes an unknown taxi driver-moralist who hit (they say even killed) a black man on the head because he, hiding behind a soda fountain, caressed something scary to say in a public glass.

The blacks alarmed me: their reputation was tarnished, they hardly knew how to speak, and in general they were black. And in the story with the murdered black man, I didn’t understand two things: 1. Why did he wash himself in a glass? 2. How could he hide “behind” the machine gun? The fact is that I don’t remember a single machine with a “gas water” that would not stand close to the wall. At one time I thought that the money ended up falling somewhere deep into the house, and water came out from there in return.

One machine with a gas supply stood near the one-hundred-apartment building, and if you imagine my incredible journey through the familiar places of my city in the 1970s, I would certainly start from there.

Having passed the border zone of the park and crossed the road of Efremov Street, I found myself on the corner of the “hundred-apartment building”. On the left, under a huge old willow tree there was an Ice Cream stall. This name very accurately reflected the content of the trade. The stall sold ice cream. Moreover, only ice cream, and only one variety. I still have the confidence that if an ice cream was sold for 19 kopecks, then there was no room for anything else, but as soon as the bars appeared for 28 (2-3 times a year), the ice cream immediately disappeared. Therefore, it must be assumed that during the Soviet period of development of the Russian language, it so happened that for ice cream the plural was at the same time the only one, unlike, for example, “juices” and “waters”. And juices and waters were sold in the coveted cafeteria opposite the stand with a lone ice cream. But the most important thing was that they whipped a milkshake there for 11 kopecks per faceted glass. It became the archetype of the “Cocktail” for many Soviet children of that time, which did not completely collapse even with the advent of capitalism with its variety of cocktails, including alcoholic ones, which no longer fit into any gates.

The cafeteria was under the same roof as the bread store. Boring brick rolls with more or less joyful brown buns for 9 kopecks, and bagels, I don’t remember how much. All this remained on the left. To the right, in the room, under a huge fan with salad-colored blades, between two huge windows, in the perimeter of the counters for visitors clinging to the walls, a cocktail was hidden.

The always damp brown oilcloth counter set off our copper coins and “desyunchiki” favorably. After they disappeared in the hands of the saleswoman, a buzzing and, of course, a miracle occurred in the aluminum glasses, somehow incomprehensibly held on by two cocktail whisk pins... In each aluminum glass there were exactly two faceted ones. This is how the proportions of justice developed.

At the very corner of the “hundred-apartment building” there was a payphone: a booth with half the supposed glass, and, in fact, a machine that swallows “kopeck piece” and throws them out through the door with the inscription “Return of coins”, in case they didn’t want to talk to you . In the center of this corner area stood a shoe repair booth. In its shape it resembled a “fair” glass for 11 kopecks, and in color - I don’t remember what. Grandmothers always sat under this booth selling seeds. Then a large glass cost 10 kopecks, and a small one 5. Later, when the old women doubled the price of seeds, they became the object of our financial fraud. Instead of twenty kopecks, they were offered a “trekan”, rubbed to a shine, almost silvery white. “Trekan” was always served “eagle” up. Sometimes this number passed.

Moving further from the border of My world, I found myself near department stores and grocery stores. There was nothing special in the grocery store, nor in the grocery store, but it was needed every day. The most striking impression from the “hundred-apartment building” was the huge queues for butter that went far outside. I visited them, most often, with my grandmother (my parents worked, but we didn’t), where I was assigned the role of an additional number, sometimes written down directly on my palm.

Opposite the store there were three stalls: a hardware store, a pharmacy and Soyuzpechat. Nothing in the grocery store interested me; in the pharmacy I was amazed by the presence of the legendary product No. 2 (later I learned that it was called a “condom”). But most of all my interest was attracted by the “Soyuzpechat” kiosk. It was there that, in due time, I would develop a short, by adult standards, passion for collecting badges.

Passing the “hundred-apartment building” and the stalls for accepting glass containers, I went out to the backyard of the GORONO stadium. From this side it was possible to get there through the “goat field”, where, it seems, at that time, goats were sometimes grazed.

But I will imagine that I am entering the stadium from the main entrance. In those days, it was some kind of square in shape and adobe in appearance, with three gates and one wicket. In front of the entrance there were fences that separated the flow of visitors and corresponded to the number of gates, which betrayed the real fan excitement that was once present here. This very “once upon a time” was already firmly in the stadium at that time. Fragmentary memories of a hot day, my father in the small east stand, and the wooden scoreboard outside the north gate obviously date back to an earlier time. By the early 1970s, I think, there was no longer a football team, and the stadium was on the verge of its long decline and dusty desolation.

A memorable point was the buffet, like an echo of past glory, which had access to Turgenev Street. The seating for spectators and the field are now generally the same, despite the fact that concrete structures have replaced the brick stands that existed then, including the central one.

It is obvious that there was once an interest in water sports in our city, since there were stands for spectators around three pools: with paths and interchangeable goals for water polo, a jumping pool and a splash pool. Personally, I never saw any spectacles there, but they were built for a reason(?).

Behind the pool there were courts for playing volleyball and basketball, sprinkled with either red dust or sand, and separated by benches for spectators, in one row.

Passing the stadium, I came very close to the boundaries of the “city”, which was separated by a terrible old building of several blocks with furnaces, in which, as they say, careless foundry workers sometimes died.

The “city” did not have clear boundaries, but in my mind it was separated from the rest of the settlement, which did not have a specific name, by several straight lines. I must say that my spatial perception was surprisingly regular, dividing the world into longitudinal and transverse streets and blocks. The latter were, in my opinion, the same square shape, and I discovered, with some surprise, much later that this was not entirely true.

The conventional boundaries of the “city” generally coincided with the railway on one side, and with the street on the other. R. Luxembourg. The “senna” bridge ran perpendicular to them - another border. With his opposite side it was much more difficult. Through intense memories, I am ready to assume that there the “city” ended with a city park, beyond which I never went, and what was there – behind the “Electrical Goods” – I could only guess hypothetically, and even observing from the Ferris wheel. Let's start from here.

Gorpark is a fairy tale, a dream, an adventure and encouragement at the same time. The fact that I was here “on great holidays,” and that alone was already a holiday, is needless to say. There was a fountain in the park, and goldfish swam in the pool surrounding it. No one caught them, didn’t get into the water “drunk,” and didn’t try to snack on “Zhiguli” beer with them (by the way, in terms of the degree of its loneliness, this type of beer was comparable to ice cream). The park had swings and attractions: boats, stars, carousels with cars, a steam locomotive and a Ferris wheel. Huge queues, stuffy dark evenings, the shine of multi-colored light bulbs, distorted faces in the mirrors of the funhouse, a sedate pavilion for chess players, a shooting range where I shot from a stand, aiming to bleed, and even a round barred dance floor with an entrance like a stadium - all this , perhaps, are my impressions of the city park.

Next to it was the Pobeda cinema, where I watched a movie, in my opinion, only once. It was a film about Western life, either “She and the Devils” or “Alone Among the Devils” - I don’t remember. I was struck by the money belt, which in the film was hidden in some tree in the swamp, and also by the fact that the main character did not wash off the blood stain of his beloved, who had fallen from a treacherous embrace with a knife in the back, from the fender of the car.

The Palace of Culture was still completely new, but at that time I observed it exclusively from afar.

The main and loudest touring events took place on the summer stage of the city park. The most vivid memory for me was the arrival of Yashka the Gypsy from The Elusive Avengers.

I remember that ice cream was sold at the entrance to the market, next to the photo studio, and also near the entrance to the Pioneer cinema. The situation with it was the same as in the “hundred-apartment” apartment, only there were no stalls here, and the ice cream was taken directly from some kind of refrigerator patches by saleswomen who, it seemed to me, lived here day and night and never changed.

Sometimes we went to the Gemini cafe, or rather, there were two cafes, and they were located on both sides of the eternal flame. Almost opposite "Gemini" there was an establishment that attracted us no less than the cafeteria of the "hundred-apartment" - it was "Rodnichok". The semi-basement room, sharing the entrance and staircase on the same flight with a television or photo studio, with an inscription above the entrance in capital letters (a fashionable trend of the 60s) attracted us with the same milkshake.

Generally speaking, there were few joys, and in terms of the nomenclature and article of pleasures - only one, but we loved them selflessly.

The “city” abounded in parks, and the “pioneer” park was especially attractive. There stood a steam locomotive, a hut on chicken legs and a long pavilion, light and almost transparent. In it (or next to it) you could play checkers, chess and other board games, which were given out to everyone.

There is much, much more we can remember about the “city” of the early 70s, but I’ll probably say about one more street – Mira Street. There was a market on it, which in its solemnity did not fit into the “city”, and seemed to fall out of it, but there - to the right of the entrance - in parallel rows, covered with gable awnings, in summer and winter they sold birds, hamsters, fish, newts and turtles. They inspired me with the warmest feelings: I wanted to take care of them, look at them, I planned where and how they could be placed in our home. Most of all I wanted an aquarium. Pragmatic parents, who rightly believed that in a short time, caring for the animals would fall on their shoulders, convinced me to wait until I got a new apartment, saying that we don’t have the conditions now. And I, like a well-mannered, obedient boy, waited. I waited exactly thirty years.

My great-grandfather once worked at the market, he chopped meat. Sometimes it seems to me that I have some kind of genetic memory of this place. High dark ceilings of counters and pavilions, potatoes and watermelons, like animals hidden in cages, shabby walls of the pre-war dairy and meat pavilions, a shooting range with an entrance from the market and an exit to the city park - all this is like light pastel strokes of a cheerful canvas of the unknown impressionist are inscribed in my childhood memory, or handed down by one of my ancestors, who loved the city and life in a way that is difficult for me to understand today.

On Mira Street, immediately behind the bronze Lenin, fenced off from the sidewalk by a low curb, a busy road ran. Then there were buses running around the square - faded LAZs on the “ninth” and “fifteenth” routes. They stopped near the Lokon hairdresser, from the windows of which masters of men's and women's hairstyles often looked out, waiting for their turn to cut a client's hair.

The tunnel hasn't changed at all. To the left of it huddled the now extinct Molodezhnoe cafe with a characteristic neon capital sign, and further, across the road, some incomprehensible one-story, roughly plastered white building under a slate roof (now a hotel stands on this site).

Passing a model of socialist trade - a department store known as “Moscow”, and pharmacy No. 300, we came to the Vesna cafe, which would become a legend for me 10-12 years later (in the bar of this establishment you could buy imported cigarettes, but not any -something “disgraced” with “stewardesses”, and “MORE”, or even “STMORITS”). But then I was much more interested in the station square. There, guarded by two lions emitting streams of water from their mouths, there were crowded stalls with all kinds of food, newspapers and information (in the sense of who lives where, and how to get where). They seemed to cover the square on both sides, fencing off the parking lot of yellow and light green Volgas, which I will identify exclusively as “taxi cars” for another ten years.

Taxi drivers, in fact, were also swindlers: they worked at night, cheated with the meter, tried to take long distances, etc. The case with the black man somewhat whitened them out, but in general, if you think about it...

Speaking about stalls with “all sorts of food”, of course, I pay tribute to the literary tradition. The food there was represented mainly by pies: with meat, in my opinion, for 12 kopecks, with potatoes, it seems, for 5, and with peas (and this is accurate) for 3 kopecks. This was the most important thing.

There were two restaurants in the “city”: “Yug” and the station restaurant. As a boy brought up in a decent family, I knew that these were not suitable places for decent people. Criminals (former or future) gather there, get drunk and spend time with women of bad behavior, or fight with Armenians who always carry knives. Sailors also often go to restaurants, but this was not relevant for our city, which, however, in the end did not make them look good at all. The restaurant “Legend” enjoyed the most disrepute, and this is not surprising, since it was located in the forest, and even next to the reservoir and Kuban.

At the station square we boarded the bus and went home. The rounded manholes, reminiscent of the streamlined refrigerators of the 60s laid on their backs, squealed invitingly and slammed pneumatic doors made of four parts. We sat down on brown leatherette chairs with nickel-plated handrails and were handed over to the “pass-through”. Conductors at that time were already a thing of the past, as an extra element of the public utility service, serving members of a society of high consciousness, who, however, no longer counted too much on the creation of the material base of communism by 1980.

Of the cash registers, my greatest amazement was caused by those into which you only had to insert five-kopeck coins, then press a tight shiny key and tear off a single ticket sticking out of a narrow slot. I could not understand how a large metal coin, as a result of this simple manipulation, turned into a small paper ticket.

After the Rubin stop, we drove less than two blocks to the next one, Optika. Only three or four five-story buildings seemed to create a façade that faced Rosa Luxemburg Street and hid blocks of old, often pre-revolutionary buildings. We passed them on the way to the beach. The grocery store on the corner of Chicherina and Osipenko streets attracted the most attention. We bought dates there. Maybe we bought something else, but that was secondary. The recreation area was centered around reservoir No. 1. Then there were several sheds, a more or less well-groomed shore, and the bottom of the pond was periodically cleaned. The second reservoir was a shallow and wide puddle, in which it was unworthy to swim. In my opinion, I didn’t even suspect the existence of reservoir No. 3.

Moving further along the bus route (let’s say No. 1), we crossed the railway along the Sennoy bridge and got off at the stop “ul. Engels". Most often it is here. On the right was the Armalit summer garden, on the left was a square similar to our “square”, but not so mysterious, of course. Just one block later My world began.

I had very vague and confused ideas about other areas of Armavir, associated either with a visit to the clinic or with a short stay in a kindergarten.

I felt the city of those years as a wide space flooded with sunshine with bright silhouettes of buildings, 21 Volgas running along the road, and their smaller copies - Moskviches, elderly Pobeda cars and ZIS cars as rare as antiques, twenty-fours sparkling with novelty, which in nine cases out of ten, had taxi checkers.

In the mornings, crowds of people gathered at bus stops, then moved onto buses and drove together to the entrances of their plants and factories. Creative work awaited them, giving them confidence in the future and a feeling of rare good fortune to be born in the country of the Soviets, the kindest, best and most humane on earth.

Monument to the partisans of the Armavir detachment

  • Address: 30th Anniversary of Victory Park. Transport stop "Park 30th Anniversary of Victory".

During the Second World War, the entire Soviet people rose up to fight the fascist invaders. The residents of Armavir did not stand aside either. A partisan detachment was formed from the townspeople. The people's avengers smashed small units of the Wehrmacht, derailed trains, and destroyed enemy food convoys. In the winter of 1942, the detachment fought an unequal battle near the village of Sakhray with an enemy that outnumbered the partisans by 40 times. For almost 4 hours, the heroes, armed only with light small arms, held back the onslaught of punitive forces going on the attack under the cover of artillery and mortar fire. But the numerical superiority of the Nazis was too great. 27 partisan heroes died. Armavir residents sacredly honor the fallen defenders of the Motherland. In memory of their feat, an Obelisk was erected over the mass grave of the partisans in the spring of 1945. Since then, there has always been a bouquet of fresh flowers at the foot of the monument in Children's Square.

Monument to A.S. Pushkin

  • Address: esplanade at the intersection of Kirov and Engels streets. Transport stop "Pushkin Square".

The monument to the classic of Russian literature was solemnly opened in Armavir in the fall of 1952. It became the dominant feature of recreation, which soon turned into a cozy square, along the alleys of which townspeople loved to stroll. Over time, the concrete statue began to deteriorate. Then local authorities decided to send the monument for restoration. In the sculpture workshop, the statue was “dressed” in copper to protect it from the negative influence of the external environment. In 2006, the monumental incarnation of the great poet again took its rightful place on the pedestal.

Initially, the bulk of the population of Armavir were Armenian Christians. However, by the beginning of the 20th century. a large Tatar community was formed here. Then Muslim Armavir residents turned to the authorities for permission to build a Sunni temple. The request was granted and already in 1910, prayers addressed to Allah began to sound under the arches of the new cathedral mosque. The colorful building immediately became one of the main attractions of the city. A three-tiered octagonal minaret with a balcony for the muezzin rose above the central portal of the structure. The tower's spire was crowned with an elegant helmet-shaped dome with a crescent on a high spire. At the end of the 30s of the last century, the building was first transferred to a labor school, and then transferred to housing.
