May Day and Lenin
Almost the same number (126,000 people) are Pervomaisky and Leninsky district in Izhevsk. Both of these places can be called sleeping areas, they are always quiet, calm and safe.
In the Pervomaisky district there are small houses, modest shops and playgrounds. Only in one place can you see a modern-looking shopping center with beautiful lighting. The main attraction of this district is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
In the Leninsky district, you should go to the Tatar bazaar, where you can buy quality products, souvenirs and household items. Here, as in other areas of Izhevsk, mainly small residential buildings are observed. The only attraction is the train station, which has an ancient design.
Industrial
The smallest is the Industrial District of Izhevsk, its number barely exceeds 120,000 people. Locals sincerely call it a hot spot, since there is an incredibly fertile land with which they get a good harvest. Basically it is filled with five-story houses, on its territory there are no ancient barracks and modern high-rises. In the afternoon you can see people running on the bus, grandmothers sitting at the porches, and mothers walking with strollers. At night, the area is noticeably empty.
The main attraction is the Ice Palace, which hosts city competitions, concerts and holiday parties.
