Cities have character, just like people. Ours are intelligent and thorough: they don't like commotion, but they appreciate history and know how to do their work calmly. The local life is united by different cultures - their traditions exist side by side, and at the same table you can meet dishes that have long become common: Baikal cave, Amos, tea with taiga herbs. There is something to learn from each other and something to surprise the guest. And the Hangra, the proximity of Lake Baikal and the long winter add independence and endurance to the character. And it's easy to breathe out: you get into the car and already on Angra Embankment you can leisurely stroll through the old streets and look at the city from the water. The special project "The Power of the Regions - 2026" collected the characters of Russian cities - from people, habits, local traditions, tastes, nature and companies that are developing the regions today.
