Čeboksary (in chuvash Šupashkar) is a city of the Russia in the federated state of Chuvash, of which it is the cultural and industrial center as well as the administrative capital.

To know

Čeboksary, a city on the banks of the Volga River and capital of Chuvashia, has many interesting aspects that make it an attractive destination for those wishing to visit the cities of the Russian South. First of all, it is a symbol and pride of the independence of the Chuvashians, an ancient and fascinating population of Bulgarian-Caucasian origin with its own language (Chuvash, belonging to the Turkish languages) and its own culture. Over the centuries the Chuvashians, meek and docile right down to the name (ciuvascio comes from yavaş Turkish term for "meek", "docile") have many times been influenced and oppressed by foreign peoples; Bulgarians originally, they passed for a period to Islam during the Tatar domination and then to Orthodox Christianity with the annexation to Russia. Today the signs of the their paganism with a Finno-Ugric flavor that integrates wonderfully with the traditions of the Russian Orthodox. Precisely this intertwining of cultures is the strong point of Čeboksary, still heavily marked by Soviet domination but still affectionately linked to its heritage of legends and traditions of ancestral origin.Culture is a bit the hallmark and also the stereotype of Čeboksary ; being the city full of theaters, museums and academies and hosting a university and research center among the best in the region, it is often cited by the Russians of the capital as a city of culture. Of course it is not only that and Čeboksary also offers a lot to the tourist who is looking only for relaxation. Numerous cruises for tours on the Volga depart from its port in the summer, at reduced costs for unmissable views. In addition, the whole riverfront, in summer, is full of restaurants, clubs and improvised events that make the city active, lively and ... an excellent half of tourism in Russia if you are tired of the big cities of the North.

Geographical notes

Čeboksary is located on the Volga Plateau in the flat part of Eastern Europe. The territory to the left of the river is mainly occupied by pine forests and is used for recreational purposes. The satellite city Novočeboksarsk is located 20 km to the east.

When to go

The city of Čeboksary gives its best in the summer. The beautiful days, in fact, will allow you to spend pleasant moments along the course of the Volga and, moreover, June is the month in which the national holiday is celebrated in memory of the constitution of the Chuvash state. If you arrive here during this period, the city will be able to welcome you at its best with events, demonstrations, parades and parties almost every week.

Background

New river port on the Volga

The first time that this city is mentioned in historical sources dates back to 1469 in the report of travel to Kazan by General Ivan Dmitrevič Run. This date is generally considered the foundation date of the city, although some historians believe on the basis of archaeological finds that there was a settlement here dating back to the thirteenth century. This original settlement should have been dependent on the Bulgarian city of Suvar. After the voluntary annexation to Russia in 1555, the fortress and the market square were built. The kremlin, unfortunately not preserved to this day, was the core of the city and was located at its highest and best defensible point. The destruction of the Kremlin and other historic buildings is due to frequent fires: until the end of the 18th century, in fact, most of the buildings were built of wood.

At the end of the 17th century, the city lost its defensive functions and became a famous trading center of the Volga region. The development of trade and the conversion of the Chuvash to Christianity led to an architectural flourishing which continued until the end of the 18th century. Many churches were erected, the first stone constructions appeared.In 1767, Empress Catherine II sailing the Volga near the city was amazed by the wealth of the city, especially compared to the city she had just visited: Nizhny NovgorodIn 1781 the city of Čeboksary was given the status of city of the Kazan governorate. As the Volga lost its importance within the transport network, not to mention the fire of 1773 which destroyed two thirds of the city, the development of Čeboksary came to a halt. Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Čeboksary remained a small center of the Russian province but the creation in 1920 of the autonomous state Chuvash, of which Čeboksary became the capital, marked a revival. During the Second World War some factories moved here and after the war a whole series of other huge industries were built. Around 1986 the construction of the hydroelectric power plant was completed and this transformed the appearance of the city as many historic buildings were destroyed. Today, Čeboksary is one of the cities with the highest welfare rate in Russia.

2015 was dedicated in Russia to literature and culture. The city of Ceboksary, accepting the invitation of the Federation, has decided to focus its events on the main Chuvash author: Konstantin Vasilyevich Ivanov which marks the centenary of his death. Throughout the city and throughout 2015, exhibitions and events were organized in memory of the great Chuvash poet.

How to orient yourself

Čeboksary: ​​full screen map.

Čeboksary is located roughly halfway between Nizhny Novgorod (240 km) and Kazan '(166 km). In addition to the aforementioned M7 and in addition to the possibility of moving on the course of the Volga River, the A119 called Vyatka also passes here. A 103 km long railway line also passes through Čeboksary.

The city center is located on the right side of the shore high of the Volga River, which divides the city into two unequal parts.

The territory is crossed by ravines which form the beds of the small rivers tributary to the Volga. As a consequence of this, the conformation of the city follows the reliefs present on the territory. The different parts of the city are connected by five bridges. Parallel to the course of the Volga and crossing the historic center of the city, passes the road that leads from Moscow to Novočeboksarsk and then to Kazan ', changing its name several times: Jadrinskoe Šosse, Moskovskij Prospekt, ulitsa Kompositorov Vorob'evych, ulitsa Kalinina, Marposadskoe Šosse.

For this reason, today almost all of the city's monuments and attractions are concentrated in the Old Town district. The best time to visit Čeboksary is certainly the summer, from mid-April to mid-October. The reason is quite simple: most of the entertainment venues and public parks are open or are only frequented at this time of the year.

Religious architecture

Čeboksary was once famous for the large number of churches and monasteries present on its territory. Today, however, only a few examples of religious architecture remain.

17th century cathedral

Dormition Cathedral

Cathedral of St. Tatjana

• 56.1517547.246681 Vvedensky Cathedral (Введенский кафедральный собор), ulitsa Ivanova, 21. It is the oldest cathedral in the city if not in the entire region, it was built in the 17th century. The construction order is signed dates back to 1555, to Ivan IV Groznyj, better known in Italy as Ivan the Terrible. The original church, however, was not spared from the terrible fire of 1649 as it was made of wood. The building that can be admired today is the reconstruction of 1657. The decorations and frescoes inside are the work of local artists, according to tradition. The church is currently active as a center of worship and the liturgical service is celebrated in the Chuvash language. 
• 56.1517447.252412 Trinity Male Monastery (Свято-Троицкий мужской монастырь), ulitsa Ivanova, 1A. Also this church was initially built by order of Ivan the Terrible and with the funding of some missionaries in 1566 and was intended for the Orthodox worship of the people of the Volga region. During the'age of the Turbids and precisely in 1609, during the nationalist phase the church was set on fire and razed to the ground. Today the oldest part of the complex is that of the eighteenth century and integrates other pre-existing churches. On the eastern side of the monastery the present bell tower was added in the Soviet era. In the complex there are also some ancient icons depicting St. Nicholas who according to tradition sailed to Čeboksary along the course of the Volga. The cult of this saint and in particular of this icon was not only widespread among the Orthodox but also among the Chuvash and other local populations. It was common opinion that in front of the icon one could not lie without the result being death. 
• 56.1498847.252653 Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God, ulitsa Ivanova, 1B (Церковь Успения Пресвятой Богородицы). This church was built in 1763 with funds raised by the merchant Drjablov. The building has changed a lot over the centuries. In Soviet times, for example, the bell tower was destroyed. For a time, the church also housed a museum. In conjunction with the construction of the artificial dam, a road was also built, known as way to the temple which will allow you to reach this church but which will also offer you a wonderful view of the historic center. Finally, the church has become a symbol of the city in recent years and is in fact visible from every point of Čeboksary and appears in every postcard or photo that depicts the city. 
• 56.1518747.249944 Church of San Michele Arcangelo (Церковь Михаила Архангела), ulitsa Ivanova, 13 (not far from Vvedensky Cathedral). The church was built in 1702.

Temple of the fallen

• 56.1396147.250268 Chapel of the Nativity (Храм-часовня Рождества Христова). The first stone of this new building was laid on June 24, 1999 on the ruins of previous destroyed churches.

It is located right in front of the Chuvash government building which itself is a monument to Lenin.

Where to eat

The national cuisine of Chuvash is in many ways reminiscent of the Tatar cuisine. The "chupla", a kind of rustic with porchetta and potatoes, the "kakaj-šurpi", a soup of entrails, and the "tultarmaš", a particular cured meat, should be mentioned. After all, the restaurants and cafes where Chuvash national dishes are served are not very many in the city. The most popular drink is beer, given the centuries-old tradition and in Čeboksary there are still establishments and special beers can be tasted. There is also the Akkond Sweet Factory, which produces chocolates and sugared almonds. The products of this factory can also be purchased directly in the shops indicated on the official site.
