The surroundings of Simbirsk are very beautiful, of which we note, located 8-4 versts, the village of Kindyakovka with an abandoned manorial estate on a cliff hanging over the Volga. There is an opinion that this is exactly the same “cliff” that appears in the famous novel by Goncharov, which is no longer difficult to believe, that the writer was here many times and, of course, could not remain equal.
amoachichiyo iooz 9 accusing and 9 beaten by someone t" b soulless in the poetic character of this metroness; In any case, what he wrote about the cliff in his novel is very close to the reality in Kindyakovk.
As we leave Simbirsk, we cannot help but say that the elegant appearance of the buildings surrounding Venets, the relatively nice sidewalks, the nicer gardens, the view from the mountain to the Volga panorama,
All this makes an extremely pleasant impression, all reminding us that in the old days Simbirek was a “noble’s nest,” a nice corner in which people lived happily and peacefully. At the present time, living in Simbirsk would not be fun, since its life is to some extent sleepy. 40 thousand people! The city itself only once a year completely wakes up during the National Fair, which by the second half of the current century has developed so much that it has become of very serious importance and its turnover extends to 15 million. rub. The name of the National Team was due to the fact that the fair opened on the first week of Lent after the National Team Sunday.
57 versts below Simbirsk, on the right bank of the Volga, is the small federal town of Sengilei (4000 zkitels). The city itself is more than modest; Only the presence here and the fire tower make it clear that the small cluster of buildings called Sengilei is a city, not a village. But near the shore there are many grain barns, owned by out-of-town Samara and Simbirsk merchants, who, buying grain into the city and its environs, openly send it to Rybinek; This bread is ground here by water mills located on the Sengileik and Tushkin rivers. Sengile is revived only at the beginning of navigation, when there is a load of grain and all sorts of fuss begins among the local population in terms of squeezing for clerks, clerks, etc. positions in trade affairs; but by the end of the navigation, ordinary life comes into its own and Sengiley again turns into an unpleasantly deaf sleepy outback.
Below Sengiley, on the right bank of the Volga, is located the rich village of Novodevichye, which has a pier. Its population (up to 1,500 souls) is a wealthy and trading people; Novodevichye trades in timber (exclusively wood-fired), eggs, of which more than a million are shipped from here, and also conducts an extensive grain trade. As for lice, the main benefit of this business is that the peasants buy it on the stump, directly from Udlny Vdometv, bypassing all sorts of kulaks and buyers, which is why they enjoy a profit of 15 to 20°/0, or even more. Residents of Novodevichy also engage in farming quite willingly; along with the surrounding villages of Novodevichye and in this area it is important

We rent out specific lands to peasants at the cheapest prices. The prosperity of Novodzvichye is so great that the fair that takes place there on the 8th field is constantly distinguished by brisk trade.
Somewhat below Novodfvichye is located on the left bank of the Volga the federal city of Stavropol, in the history of the origin of which there is a very original feature that this city arose directly in response to various reports, reports, reviews, so to speak, in execution of much more prescribed, in the name of a real need; This happened, of course, in those blissful times, when it was enough for some college chairman to reach his
Before the mind was convinced of the need to build a new one, there was something here or another - and this city arose.
