Kuibyshev is one of the oldest cities in the region

The best place to start exploring Kuibyshev is at the Local History Museum. It is housed in a building dating back to 1911, which itself is a joy to behold: antique furniture, items of peasant life, outfits, coins. You'll be surprised at how rich the history of this region is.

Leave the car next to the museum: you can walk further on foot. "Kuibyshev" the city of Kainsk was named in 1935 in honor of the revolutionary Valerian Vladimirovich Kuibyshev, who was exiled here in 1906-1908. There is a separate museum in the city, where you can learn more about this man and the political repression in the 20s and 50s.

Five minutes walk and you are at the Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist. It was built in 1904 for the money of a local merchant. By the way, it is the only survived during the Soviet regime temple of the city. Since the 40s of last century there was a warehouse, and later a cinema. And only in 1990 the church was returned to the believers.

Got an appetite after a walk? Go to the pizzeria "QuattrO", one of the nicest places in town.

The main value of the central square of Kuibyshev is the house of M. L. Maslov. The one-storey wooden building was built at the beginning of the XX century by a rich merchant, who owned steam mills and was a carriage driver: he owned more than 100 horses in the city.

Go back to the parked car along Kraskoma Street. This is the main street of the city, which used to be called Moskovskaya. On it went from Moscow convicts, shackled: in the second half of the XVIII century Kainsk became a major center of hard labor and exile.
With the development of the city along the street began to grow merchant houses. The ground floors were shops, the second - the living quarters. Examples of such buildings survived to this day. Many of them are located just on Kraskoma Street.

It's time to go home! Don't forget to take goodbye selfies against the background of the 5-meter stele "Geographical Centre of the Novosibirsk Region". The monument is made in the form of a marker used to mark objects on electronic maps.

For dinner, stop by the familiar cafe "At Shmakov's. The drive home is still 2.5 hours long, so it wouldn't hurt to eat something for the road.
