My native town Slavgorod differs a little from tens of other quiet provincial towns of Russia. It cannot boast any unusual sights or exotic landscapes. Everything here is simple and quiet. It is situated in Koolunda steppe among a lot of salt lakes. From childhood I associate it with windy and dusty storms, rainy pools, heavy snowfalls and frosts. It was founded in 1910 near salt lake Yrovoye in the north west of the territory. Its population is 41 thousand people.
It is necessary to say that it constantly changes, grows and develops from year to year. Now it is one of the main administrative, industrial, educational and cultural centers of the Altai Territory. It is clearly seen from the plane. Long, straight and wide streets are well planned.
It has got a Railway Station, banks, a hospital, three micro districts, a private sector, 3 markets and a lot of shops. People can get their education at 4 schools, 3 technical secondary schools and a branch of Altai State University. I think Slavgorod is an industrial centre too. We’ve got some small furniture factories, a lorry factory, a heavy metal equipment factory, a factory of plastic windows, meat, milk and bread factories. If you wish you can visit our House of Culture, a stadium, libraries, cafes, discos, a central park and Yarovoye lake beach and have a nice time there.
It’s difficult to picture the image of our town in future but this oasis in steppe must grow and develop. People must have higher standard of living. There should be not only a theatre, a beach, good roads but a hotel for homeless people in it too. People are the main value in any time in any country.
