The capital of the Republic of Chuvashia is the city.
Chuvashia is considered the most anciently inhabited territory of Russia (about 80,000 years old), where valuable historical monuments have been preserved, which is very attractive to tourists. It is here that many famous people come to visit ancient health resorts (“the pearl” is the Chuvashia balneological hospital) or go on a river cruise along the Volga. By the way, the legendary captain of the Soviet army V. Chapaev was born in this republic, and there is a museum named after him here. In general, the Chuvash occupy 5th place in terms of Russian population. Chuvashia is part of Russia as a subject of the Federation and occupies a territory in the center of the European part of Russia. The capital of the region is Cheboksary. WITH you will see the modern territorial division, the location of the main objects and the boundaries of the region. Chuvashia's neighbors are the Nizhny Novgorod and Ulyanovsk regions, Mari El, Tatarstan and Mordovia.
In the 1920s, there was discussion about renaming the Chuvash into Bulgarians, and the Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic into Bulgarian. The proposal was not implemented. Currently, different options for renaming the republic are being put forward again. One of the options is to Volga Bulgaria.
On map of the Chuvash Republic Its main administrative units are plotted, including 21 districts, 8 urban-type settlements, 9 cities. There are about 1,700 rural settlements on the territory of Chuvashia. In total, more than 468 thousand people live in the republic. The capital of Cheboksary in 2001 won the competition for the title of the Most Comfortable City in Russia.
The geographical location of the republic is the east of the East European Plain, the right bank of the Volga, the size of the territory is more than 18 thousand sq. km. The region's resources are water (hydropotential of the Volga), fishing - sterlet populations are found on the Sura River, and mineral resources - deposits of oil shale, peat, phosphorites. Rich chernozem soils over large areas determine successful farming.
The republic's economy is at a below average level of development. The main industrial enterprises are concentrated in Cheboksary. There is a power center here - a hydroelectric power station, one of the largest chemical plants in Russia (environmentally unsafe for people). There are also large production facilities in Kanash, Alatyr, Shumerla, and the village of Vurnary. The remaining 20 municipalities have virtually no industrial potential, with production here accounting for only 6% of the total.

You can go to the end and leave a comment. Notifications are currently disabled.The capital of the Chuvash Republic is Cheboksary, considered one of the most beautiful cities in Russia. And there is confirmation of this. The city is not very large in size (the area of the city district is 250 sq. km) and sparsely populated (population - 470 thousand people), but it amazes with its beauty, clean streets, fountains and squares.
Mentions
The first mention of this city, located on the banks of the Volga, dates back to the 15th century. Russian chronicles mention an urban settlement, only its name was slightly different and was used in the singular - Cheboksary. The settlement on the Volga was founded earlier than the 15th century (but the official date of birth of the city is considered to be 1469) initially as a military fortification of the Russian army. There was already a map of Chuvashia by that time, but it has not survived, and it is impossible to judge more accurate references with cartographic data.
Name
As for the etymology of the word, there are several options. One of them is the origin of the name from the phrase “Chebak” and “ar”. Chebak is the common name of the Mari who lived in this territory, and ar is the Finnish name of the river. Which together means “Chebaka River”. Another option implies the origin of the word from the Chuvash “shupakar”, which translated into Russian means “fortified place”. An older map of Chuvashia was printed for a long time with a name unusual for modern times.
Story
In the second half of the 16th century, a military fortress was built on the outskirts of the city, which served as the southern border of the state. The Cheboksary district is formed, which is successfully developing in terms of trade. This is facilitated by its close location to the Volga. Over the next 200 years, Orthodox churches and monasteries were actively built on the territory of the county. Gradually, the city becomes the cultural, religious, military and industrial center of the region.
Geography of the region
The capital of Chuvashia is located on the Volga Upland, on the right bank of the Volga. Now on this bank there is the Cheboksary Reservoir. The length of the city's borders is within 80 km, of which 16 km is the embankment. It itself is cut up everywhere by beams and ravines, so the topography within the city is gully. The height fluctuation varies from 50 to 200 meters.
The capital of Chuvashia on the relief map is shown in a more complete picture, and there you can find complete information about the highlands and lowlands of this area. The ravines in the city are formed by the watersheds of small rivers that were once located in this territory. Because of this feature, the layout of the area itself turned out to be interesting: urban buildings have the shape of wedges that converge towards the Volga Bay, forming a kind of amphitheater. Also, thanks to the hills, 5 bridges were built in Cheboksary.
Climate
The capital is located within the temperate climate zone. It has a continental climate. The formation of weather conditions in Cheboksary is influenced by cold Arctic air masses in winter and humid Atlantic air masses in summer. In winter, the city has stable frosty and snowy weather. The period itself lasts up to 5 months. Summer is moderate, sometimes hot, lasting 3 months. In spring and autumn the weather is often unstable.
Cheboksary is a region with a high percentage of moisture. Evaporation often exceeds precipitation, causing the temperature to change dramatically during the day. The distribution of precipitation is also uneven. Most of them fall in the summer and hit the city with heavy downpours. The average annual precipitation is 500 mm. Average temperatures in July are +18°С...+19°С, in January -11°С...-13°С.
Administrative division
The capital has an administrative status - a city district. In addition to the three administrative districts of the city (Leninsky, Moskovsky, Kalininsky) and the territorial administration of Zavolzhye, the city includes 3 villages: Sosnovka, Severny, Novye Lapsary and the village of Chandrovo.
According to the 2015 population census, the city took 39th place in terms of the number of residents in Russian cities. At this time, just over 480 thousand people live in Cheboksary. By national composition, the majority of residents are the indigenous population of the republic (Chuvash 62%). There are fewer Russians here in terms of percentage - 32%. Representatives of other nationalities also live in the city: Tatars, Mari, Ukrainians, Armenians, etc.
There are two official languages here: Russian and Chuvash. It is noteworthy that most of the city's population speak the Chuvash language. This can be confusing for visitors. But everyone here understands Russian. In terms of religious composition, most of the residents are Orthodox Christians.
Science, culture and industry
The capital of Chuvashia is also famous for its industrial development. Such industries as metalworking and mechanical engineering (9 large enterprises), food industry (4 large enterprises), electric power industry, and light industry are actively developing.
In addition, Cheboksary is the cultural, scientific and educational center of Chuvashia. The city has 5 state higher institutions, 13 branches of universities in other cities, about 20 institutions of secondary education, and a large number of schools.
As for attractions, there are a lot of them here, both historical and modern.
City division
The capital of Chuvashia, Cheboksary, is conventionally divided into two halves: the left bank and the right bank. The right bank of the Volga is the historical district of the city. There are many beautiful and unique places directly related to the history of the city. The Right Bank is also the business center of the city. The Left Bank is replete with its natural colors, parks, and fountains. This is a great place to relax for both locals and visiting guests.
The capital even has its own “Arbat” - this is the pedestrian street of Merchant Efremov, located in the city center. There is also a merchant's house on it, which is considered an architectural monument of the 19th century. Currently, within the walls of the mansion there is a branch of the Moscow SEI.
On Kompozitorov Vorobiev Street, in the center of the city there is an artificial Cheboksary Bay. This is truly the most beautiful part of the city. City holidays, festivals and fairs are held on the square by the bay. From it you can walk to the banks of the Volga. The central beach of the capital is also located on the embankment.
The city is also famous for its Orthodox religious monuments. For example, the Church of the Holy Martyr Tatiana was built in 2006. It is located in the northwestern part of the city and has a majestic appearance. There are also ancient Orthodox churches, considered the oldest church in the city (its construction began in 1555) and the Church of the Ascension of Christ, built in 1758. Also in Cheboksary, the Holy Trinity Monastery is still active, the construction of which began on the orders of Ivan Grozny.
Like the rest of Chuvashia, Cheboksary is a city with a developed culture. Here you can visit 8 museums and exhibition halls telling about the history of the city and region, theaters and even the State Philharmonic. This is what attracts tourists quite strongly. They are happy to visit all the establishments that are in Cheboksary, buy themselves souvenirs and take photographs for memory, and then return to this city again to relive the amazing emotions from what they saw earlier.
