Asino (Kazan)

The housing estate was named in honor of V. M. Azin (1895-1920) - the red commander, a participant in the Civil War .

The Azino housing estate is located in the southeastern part of the city on the border with the Volga region . Its northern border runs along the Mamadyshsky tract , behind which is the village of Small Fangs. The southern border is Zavoisky Street, which also separates the Soviet and Volga regions. From the east, the villages of Big Fangs and Ascension are adjacent to Azino. In the west, the neighborhood ends shortly after Victory Avenue .

The microdistrict on the plan is an approximate rectangle with a rough eastern edge, oriented from north to south and divided into several blocks in the direction from west to east. Julius Fucik Street, passing into Academician Sakharov Street, divides Azino approximately in half in the longitudinal direction. The main cross streets are Chishmyale, Lomzhinskaya (passing into Noksinsky descent), Minskaya, Zakieva, Akademika Glushko, Dzhaudat Fayzi.

Azino was originally divided into two parts: Azino-2 (southern) and Azino-1 (northern). The border between them ran along a ravine located between the streets of Minsk and Zakiev.

The draft layout of the housing estate was developed by the Tatgrazhdanproekt Institute in the first half of the 1980s , shortly after the addition of the urban-type village of Azino to Kazan. Azino became one of the first microdistricts of Kazan, where there are no five-story houses of the old series. Construction began in the second half of the 1980s, with the construction of Azino-2 first starting. Construction in Azino-1 began only after 1995 , when a program to eliminate dilapidated housing was launched in Kazan.

In the 1990s, the housing estate was built up mainly with 9-10-story “Leningrad” buildings. However, in the late 1990s, two so-called buildings were built along Victory Avenue. " Turkish houses" of increased number of storeys. These houses were really built by Turkish workers according to Turkish projects. Since the early 2000s , high-rise buildings of improved layouts have been built.

Until 2012, there were two separate administrative and accounting units - Azino-1 and Azino-2. Currently, several homeowners associations operate on their territory.

To date, on the territory of Azino there are many infrastructure objects of regional and city scale:
