In our city there are many streets, boulevards, avenues, many of which are named after prominent figures of the past or present. Agree, because sometimes it happens that we pass by, work or even live on a street named after such a person, but sometimes we know absolutely nothing about him, his life and activities, and why this street or Avenue was named after this person.

To know about the people whose names the streets of the city are named after means to remember those who glorified our city, region, our country, and therefore means: to know the history and culture of your region, your homeland.

This page of the site contains information about those people whose names are the streets of Kemerovo. These are people who have done a lot not only for our city, but for the whole of Russia. These are participants in wars, statesmen, military leaders, doctors, scientists, business leaders and many others whose courage, intelligence, dedication and work have made them an example for new generations of people.

Перевод:

В нашем городе есть множество улиц, бульваров, проспектов, многие из которых названы в честь видных деятелей или современности. Согласитесь, ведь иногда бывает, что мы проходим мимо, работаем или даже живем на улице, названной в честь, такого человека, но, порой, совершенно ничего не знаем о нем, его жизни и деятельности, и почему именно в честь этого человека была названа эта улица или проспект.

Знать о людях, именами которых названы улицы города, значит помнить тех, кто прославил наш город, область, нашу страну, и потому означает: знать историю, культуру своего края, своей Родины.

На этой странице сайта собрана информация о тех людях, чьи имена носят улицы города Кемерово. Это люди, которые сделали много не только для нашего города, но и для всей России. Это участники войн, государственные деятели, полководцы, врачи, ученые, руководители предприятий и многие другие, чье мужество, ум, самоотдача и труд сделали их примером для новых поколений людей.

Long ago the Great Patriotic War ended. It was the ruthless and bloodiest war of the twentieth century. But even now, those who remember that war, they are veterans, live among us. There are very few of them left. At a time when they were young, slightly older than us, they defended their homeland from a cruel enemy in the Soviet army.

I'm interested in the stories of veteran Leonid Ivanovich Kulikov about military service and the Great Patriotic War. Now Leonid Ivanovich is a colonel in retirement, he has the entire tunic in awards: medals and orders, people respect him. When the fascists occupied his small town in Moldova, he was 15 years old. He was captured. But I did not get to the camp, I ran away. For a long time he hid in the woods, he waited for his troops to liberate the region. And when the village was rescued from the Germans, he was taken into the army and sent to study in the tank school. Leonid Ivanovich recalls that at that time it was very difficult. They worked all day, learned to drive combat vehicles, to shoot guns that were on tanks. There was no time to rest, because the army needed good tankers. The tank's details are heavy, the physical loads were great, but there was not enough food. The cadets were constantly undernourished. But all stood firm, because it was hard for everyone at that time. And when Leonid Ivanovich finished his studies, he was sent to fight on the front line. The gunner at the best T-34 tank, he thundered the enemy along with other soldiers in Romania, Hungary. When the war was over, another ten years was a tanker, because the soldiers were not allowed to go home for a long time. The army needed to be kept strong so that soldiers and officers could protect peace in our country after the war.

Despite everything, the heavy army life of Leonid Ivanovich at that time was pleasant. It was very interesting. He traveled all over the country, he had many friends! And the young tankman decided to continue studying. He became an officer, commander of a tank unit.

Now Leonid Ivanovich eighty-seven years. Thanks to him, his comrades and all the veterans for the fact that we have peace now.
