Traditions of antiquity deep
This is an option for those who are not considering buying ordinary souvenirs from Samara. What to bring: a photo of a modern metropolis or a disappearing image of an old city? Old Samara is a unique place with a peculiar atmosphere. Historically, this city was quite wealthy, and residents decorated their homes with exquisite wooden carvings and fancy turrets. Less and less ancient streets remain, they are pressed by a concrete metropolis. But there are books on sale by Vagan Karkaryan, who tried to restore and preserve the image of the old city in photographs and drawings. The editions are very interesting, each picture or photo contains a historical reference.
