Kazan Kremlin, an amazing historical place, on the banks of the Volga River. the walls and towers of the Kremlin are very well preserved. The Kremlin itself in architecture is very similar to the Pskov Kremlin. Also white towers and walls, also round towers. I liked the building very much. It was in winter, a cold wind was blowing from the river, it was -23 Celsius, snow was falling, so we moved from museum to museum. On the territory of the Kremlin, there is a museum of the history of this break off and the emergence of the Kazan Khanate in the beginning, and so on. I recommend to visit those who are fond of history, like me).

This may be a new mosque compared to others around the world but it's still beautiful. Took photos day and night. The interior is also impressive and its good to spend some quiet time in there when prayers are beung held. One of the symbols of kazan .

I wasn’t familiar with the artist but was impressed with the museum. His work was varied and most of it was pretty good. We also got to talk with an artist who currently has an exhibit at the museum. He was very friendly and it was interesting to hear him explain what he was trying to convey in his art.

I visited Samara in June 2019. Samara Embankment is a nice place to walk. There are two-three very wide walkways going in parallel. A lot of small cafes and fast food booths, bike and scooter rentals are along the walkways. You can see a lost of street artists along the Embankment. Violins, guitars, drums, saxophones etc... ot from ti,e to time even orchestras! On the Volga beach right next to the Embankment you can see many volleyball courts, tennis courts and other sport sites.

We visited this on our first trip to Samara in Feb 2019. The tour was only available in Russian, but thankfully my wife was able to provide additional translation where I didn't understand. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and is more than happy to share more than just the standard tour speech. It is a very cool place to get an insight into how important Kuybyshev (now Samara) was to the Soviets during the war and to understand why Stalin decided to have the bunker built here. The fact that none of the surrounding embassies/consulates were aware of the structure is quite incredible. Highly recommend this attraction.
