Little America: the city of Kanash, Chuvash Republic

Hello, Russians!

All of you are well aware of the republics of the North Caucasus (I know, the most respected people live there), and you are much less familiar with the rest of the small nationalities of the country. Below we will talk about the most stable city of the Chuvash Republic with a proud name - Kanash.

The distance from Moscow is 666 km, a large railway junction of local importance, of course with Lenin in the city center, you can’t fault it. About 52 thousand population, mostly, naturally, Chuvash, about 65%, the rest are Russians and Tatars (150 km to Kazan). According to statistics from the LEVADA Center, the people with the highest IQ on the planet. On the planet Mars, of course. Well, that is if you don't count NASA's Mars rovers, and there are only two of them, so we are truly the smartest. It is worth saying that the Chuvash are Orthodox, although, according to some information, during the time of the Mongols they were pagans. But Rus Ivan came, and we joyfully bowed to him, like evolution to Valuev, and became Orthodox for the amusement of the Tsar. Integration has begun, and now, as in all Russified republics, native speech, all sorts of piruns and other gods can only be found in villages.

Kanash

For some reason, after this word I want to spit, although this was not always the case. When there was a cheerful movement in the country in the 90s, my dad was drinking at the factory, and, lighting a cigarette in the school toilet at the age of 13, like him, I was happy. Going to dances on Saturdays in the park with the aim of getting pissed off or, conversely, attacking another area, gangs of boys, attention to the words of successful imprisoned authorities. Development proceeded like many others, and in 2005 it even became the best small town in Russia. But this is a story, and she is a two-ass whore. I move on to the current Kanash, fashionable and glamorous.

Work and money

The average salary is 10-15 tr, and 18-20 is already a success, you can proudly voice the amount and see envy and reverence in the eyes of your interlocutor. The city-forming plant VRZ (bathroom repair plant) belongs to the concern “TRACTOR FACTORIES OF RUSSIA” and regularly, year after year, sucks money from the budget, that is, tractor factories take out another loan from the state, the loot goes down the chain, in the end the workers get 10 thousand each, but since the plant is worth it, it’s considered cool: “But I don’t do shit, damn it, I get 10, azazazaz, how fucking awesome I am.”

But there is a very interesting point! Remember when I said that we have the highest IQ? This, and the fact that Moscowabad is only 666 km away (this is true, by the way, the sign was there even earlier), did their job, and half of the city works in the capital on shifts (This is how half of Russia works, but I don’t know for half of Russia, and the fact that half of Kanash is the holy truth), and receives it royally. And since all this successful crowd spends money in their homeland, there are a lot of places to lose money - cafes, restaurants, shops, nightclubs (There is only one left, but my favorite clubber, the local DJ has a favorite track FOR YOU, I WILL GAVE YOU, last summer it was spinning there non-stop), etc. There are also plenty of “FAST MONEY” type offices, and libraries on every corner, but no one has ever seen them.

That part of the people who do not work in Moscow and do not have the means to somehow survive and pay for the Lada VAZ loan broken by their drunken son last year, work in gardens and vegetable gardens, travel to villages to grow potatoes there (I As a child, I thought that people all over the planet do this, because, damn it, instead of the alphabet, they taught us to plant and hill and dig potatoes) and somehow last a month.

Service and goods in Kanash are up to par. At the very fucking lowest level, huh. But here, many waiters don’t even think about getting a tip, because for them the standard of social behavior is a fat saleswoman from a rural district. Not everywhere, but! If suddenly (God forbid) you find yourself with us, go to “OUR BAR”, a cafe not far from the center, the best cafe, where there is normal booze, and everything on the menu will really be served to you (Usually Kanash cafes have Baltic 7 and “this salad is just left”). Let me note that a nice plus is that Magnit, Pyaterochka and other crap are actively coming to us, and our Chuvash store owners decided to create a brand to resist retailers and are coping with this by lowering prices (Really, where have you seen prices lower than in "magnet"?) and improving the quality of goods and service. On such stores hang a Chuvash swastika in the form of patterns and the slogan “OURS: BUY CHUVASH.” It doesn’t rhyme, but it’s high quality and inexpensive; I go there with pleasure when I’m home.

Pubs, bars, cafes, booze

About the cafe it was said above, I have nothing to add, eat either in OUR BAR or don’t give a fuck about your sanctions and don’t eat at all. But to get drunk - guys, aren’t we Russians? I took a funfir in the evening behind the garages, went to the club, there was also a couple of vodka and colas to disperse, and success! You are the king of the dance floor, all the chicks are yours. No, a little back. So, about booze, who doesn’t know, Chuvashia has good beer. I won’t compare it with Czech or German, this is a different weight category, but the beer is one of those that you wouldn’t be ashamed to bring to Moscow, say, to your work colleagues. In short, the inscription on the label BOUQUET OF CHUVASHIA is like Egypt. It doesn’t seem like the Maldives, but it’s no longer Sochi. Try it.

Social sphere

The inhabitants of the city (Active youth, first of all) are ordinary Russians, but, surprisingly, we also have guests from the mountains, who mainly trade gifts of nature at the market. No ethnic conflicts, maybe this is because, as Johann Goethe said, “No blacks, no racism”? I don't know, ask yourself. The hospital in the city is crap, I had to visit the traumatologist often, his hands have been shaking since Afghanistan, he performed such an operation on me that it took me 2 years to heal the consequences. Education is crap, but it depends on your luck: if dad is a pussy in childhood, then his son will grow up well and go to a car repair plant, if not, to a vocational school and then go to Moscow to earn money. There are only two universities, they are for those who work and, well, the office requires a tower, but the person does not have one. No problem, you go there, pay money (pennies compared to Moscow), and after 3 years you have a Higher Education. It’s not like in shitty America, you pay a lot of money, but you also have to study.

Transport and roads

Minibus fare is 18 rubles. For comparison, in the center of Russian Orthodoxy Tver with a population of ~400k, I drove for 15. I suspect this has something to do with the constant flow of money from the capital. Auto. Mostly, of course, ours, with a few stray foreign cars. There are Chuvash horsemen at low priors, but not many. But the idiots who bought the grant on credit and are paying 100 rubles for a taxi to pay for it even if they eat their ass. from end to end. The roads are like in Russia, what can I add here... But spirituality! There was one church five years ago, now there are two, and another temple is being built. For what? You yourself know - to raise Russia. In general, I go regularly myself, I recommend it, Father Kondrat is a golden man. When sober. Doesn't matter.

It would be worth adding something else here, useful information, or ANALYTICS. But you know, I think that there is such a Kanash in the heart of every national project worker, we are all Russian people, and tomorrow we will go to the factory. Someone has to fucking raise Russia.

We thank the friendly “National Project” - the center of pride for our country - for the amazing report.
