Forest Street (Samara)

From the middle of the 19th century until 1923, the territory between the present streets of Osipenko (then Novo-Nikolskaya) and Chelyuskintsy (then it was called Orel) belonged to the Nikolsky monastery. ^[1] In 1923, the monastery was closed by a decree of the Samara provincial executive committee, and two villages, the Monastic and the New Athos, were formed on the former monastic land.

At the end of the 19th century, the steam mill of the merchant Zvarykin was built on the bank of the Volga River. In 1890 it was bought by merchant Shadrin. Nearby was a distillery and yeast factory Afanasyev. In Soviet times, this territory was redeveloped for the Kinap plant - the Kuibyshev Film Equipment Plant, which produced not so much film equipment as gas masks and other chemical protection items for the Soviet defense industry.

The fourth line of the Samara embankment, named “Oktyabrskaya”, was opened in 1986 to the 400th anniversary of Samara. ^[2] According to the idea of ​​the architects Anatoly Yankin and Igor Galakhov, the “Ladya” stele became the center of the embankment composition, which can be clearly seen from the ships passing along the Volga: the height of the “Ladia” is 20 meters and it stands on the naturally rising shore. This stela has become one of the symbols of the city.

At the beginning of the XXI century, the high-rise residential complex “Ladya”, the tallest residential building in Samara, became the architectural dominant of the street.
