- Takarasina2Â 039 contributionsThis is how it looks among monstrous Soviet era faceless behemoths.
We visited it in the beginning of August while on a tour of Siberia. Consecrated in 1914, ruined by communist obscurantists in 1930 and re-erected in 1993, this chapel symbolizes unbelievable ideological mishmash still reigning in Russians' brains. It stands in the Krasnyi prospekt (Red highway) - named by communists to glorify their non-existent achievements - and neighbours Lenin's square. One of numerous paradoxes of this country...
We loved the church. Small, symmetrical, elegant. Shimmering golden cupolas, pious atmosphere inside.

Me, my friend, my son-in-law and my 15-years-old grandson. Since it's one of Novosibirsk landmarks it was easy to find it.
It's one of the first (if not the first) brick buildings of the city. Consecrated in 1899, it was partly - but, luckily, not completely - blown up by communists in 1937 but quality of its construction appeared to be so robust that what was left of the church served various Soviet institutions for about half a century - from a design studio to a film studio to a philharmonic society - and, though half-blown, endured all those challenges! The cathedral was returned to the Russian Orthodox church in 1989 only.
I stepped inside. Solemn, quiet, pious, richly and exquisitely decorated, practically no-one around.
Frankly speaking, I prefer lighter constructions, like the church of the Saviour on Blood in St Pete, for example, but would still recommend that one for a visit too.Written 27 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If on the weekend I recommend visiting early to avoid the kids on their bikes. At the other end of the park are some ww2 military pieces of equipment. There are a series of walls with names written on them of people and it is quite humbling.

- saronicZurich, Switzerland28Â 747 contributionsThere are two places a visitor to Novosibirsk will most probably head to first: the Promenade by the river Ob and the Lenin Square, a place which had been meant to be the center of the town already in 1901, four years after the opening of the first rail bridge over the Ob. The place was originally called 'Novaya Bazarkaya Ploshchad' (New Market Square).
There are still grand buildings from the czarist times standing around the actual Lenin Square like the State Bank and the City Trade House, both built by architect Andrey Kryachkov, of whom are plenty more constructions to be found in the city (and a statue of him). The Lenina Square is surrounded by the Krasny Prospekt (Red Avenue), the Orshonikidze Street (with the 'Marriott Hotel') and the Ulitsa Deputatskaya, while to the north stands Novosibirsk's grandest building: the State Opera ond Ballet Theater.
In the center of the square is a big bronze statue of Vladimir Lenin on top of a grey granite plinth. The revolutionary's overcoat looks like flapping in the wind. Other monumental statues here represent three Red Guards: one clean shaven, one with a moustache, one with a beard. All are wearing a different headcover and are holding a rifle in different ways.
Another giant sculpture shows a man with a torch and a woman with an ear of wheat in her hand. All around are flowerbeds, trees, benches. In the southern part, not far from the Metro Station 'Ploshad Lenina' is a small monument with film reels heaped on top of each other plus a camera. It marks the spot, where in 1908 the towns first cinema had been opened.
When visiting in the summer of 2019 there was also an open air exhibition in the square, showing black and white photos of people in Novosibirsk 1977. Obviously international fashions like long hair for men and mini skirt for women had then gone all the way to Soviet Siberia.Written 6 May 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

By a big, not very attractive open space of concrete and asphalt is this elongated building kept in unusual turquoise and white colors. The single feature which will strike one most is the grand arch by the entrance.
There is the possibility - also for people visiting only - to walk on a footbridge over the 14 tracks with steps going down in between to the platform islands. It made me think, that if travelling it doesn't look like a friendly place for people with an infirmity or with a lot of luggage, since I didn't see any escalators or elevators.
The interior again offers quite a bit to the eye with its nice decorative elements, even a piano, with a huge waiting hall, big chandeliers. There are also several shops and eating places, as can be expected, especially in such an important 'voksal'.
The history of the station goes back to 1893, even 4 years before the bridge over the river had been opened. The place was then called Ob, just like the river, before becoming Novonikolaevsk and later Novosibirsk. The originally wooden station building was replaced in the 1930's by the actual stone structure, an early work of Siberian architect Nikolay Nikitin, who later became famous with buildings like the 540m high Ostankino Television Tower in Moscow.Written 6 May 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Takarasina2Â 039 contributionsThe English name of this Object is one of numerous examples of how Tripadvisor translator bots distort the original - in this case Russian - name of an object. In my language a singular form of the noun is amply used. Why inventing rubbish?
We found that charming monument in the beginning of August after a rather exhausting search. Firstly, it is located not in the city but in Akademgorodok - formally a part of greater Novosibirsk but in reality, its satellite town. Secondly, the road there is rather congested so it really tikes time and effort to reach the place. And, finally, the object is rather small and nestles in a park, without any road signs leading to it.
I love tributes to such tiny creatures - our little brothers and sisters. It's upon their selfless sacrifice that Man builds his fortune. Hats off!

It serves as a traffic link that connects to the other side of the bridge, it was wonderful overall to see it! Moreover, the lights illuminate the bridge at night to shine in the dark for those who needs it!Written 25 April 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Takarasina2Â 039 contributionsThere's construction of the fourth bridge across the Ob' going on nearby so the emperor is surrounded by cranes, unfinished road junctions and ruptured upturned terrain. Due to all this mess, approaching it is a challenge but bravehearts will be rewarded by its stunning and somewhat formidable appearance.
It is Alexander III whom Novosibirsk should to a great extent thank for its rapid development. Though before communist 1917 coup the city was called Novonikolaevsk, i.e., after his son Nicholas II, it was Alexander who gave green light to construction of the first railway bridge across the Ob' in that place and as the result a small wooden village quickly turned into a bustling industrial town.
Strange as it may seem, there has never been a monument to him in Novosibirsk so communist terminators couldn't master their zest for destruction there. After all, it was only after demise of their rule that tzar Alexander put his feet on the place he'd so profoundly transformed.

There are several unique benches spread all over the neighbourhood, 'The Cheatsheet' being just one of them. I encourage you to find them all! And once you are done art-bench hunting, you can go street-art hunting: there are several special graffitis commemorating the latest and most known scientific discoveries made in Akademgorodok.Written 20 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- saronicZurich, Switzerland28Â 747 contributionsAs in Irkutsk just before, where I first went to the Moscow Gate by the Angara river, the place of the town's beginnings, so I started my visit of Novosibirsk by the Ob river, where the bridge for the TransSib was opened in 1897, the moment, when the small village of Nikolaevsk began to transform itself into Russia's 3rd largest city: Novosibirsk.
It is a nice place to come to, especially if one then continues walking along the promenade by the river towards the newer Kommunalny bridge for cars. There is a little park with seating and a steel span of the old bridge, dismantled as of the year 2000 and now kept as a museum piece. It is located between the Ob and a statue of Tsar Alexander III.
Before the construction of the TransSib the 'Siberian Route' or 'Great Highway' went through the city of Tomsk about 200km to the northeast. Since the Ob tended to overflow in this area in spring time, it made the river far too wide for a bridge. Thus this spot here was found, only 800m wide and with rocks on both sides, so this became the place, where the TransSib could cross the Ob, the biggest river of the West Siberian plains and the 7th largest river in the world.
There is an information board with photos from the construction in the 1890's near the museal span, but only in Russian. The parallel bridge, which we see crossing the Ob now was started in 1984, using the same old piers from granite blocks. It then ran as a double track for a few years, until the old spans were not considered safe enough anymore and were dismantled. The rail bridge thus had again only a single track.Written 30 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
