Bird Market in Traktorozavodsky District
For many years, the inhabitants of Chelyabinsk go to the CTZ theater, well-known in the city, for kittens, hamsters, fish and puppies. Not far from the Palace of Culture and Theater of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant there is a district bazaar, on which a bird market operates on weekends.

Deficiencies, according to zoo advocate Karen Dallakyan, are eradicated, and opportunities for a good living arrangement for pets remain.
Historical reference
The tractor factory market, popularly known as the bird market in Chelyabinsk, was one of the first to appear in the city. It originated and developed simultaneously with the legendary Tractor Plant. The trading place quickly gained popularity thanks to a rich assortment of goods, low prices and a large list of services offered.
A group of Gorproekt architects together with the author B.V. Petrov presented the development on June 25, 1955.
The poultry market was designed in the likeness of the Grozny market, and was built at the intersection of the First Five-Year Plan and Marchenko Streets (Workers Columns).
It is interesting that two design fountains were not built, and the place of the main entrance to the market was moved from Marchenko Street to the street intersecting with it with a bright post-socialist name. There are now the central gate of the bird market of Chelyabinsk. Object address: st. The First Five-Year Plan, 13B.
On the territory of the market, special areas for car and food trade were provided and built. A thousand or more trading places were opened at the same time.
Regional Market
Over the years, the shopping facility has been changing positively:
- In 1994, the market became a corporation and became an open joint stock company, as a result of which the retail space expanded. There were shops “Household goods” and “Building materials”, a number of shops and a fair of things, points of sale of household chemicals and new points of catering. Decently increased the number of jobs for trade.
- From 2007 to 2011, the OJSC successfully implemented a market reconstruction program: it overhauled communications and buildings, built a new industrial and grocery shopping complex. There are more than two hundred new places for trade.
