One of the largest assembly plants in Russia is going to start its work coming autumn. The Komatsu plant construction has been finished this week.
The first set of ecskavators (about 300 units) will be produced untill the end of the year. The plan for next year when total power will be reached is 3000 of ecskavators and 7000 of loaders. The Japanise investors want to recoup this project in 5 years.
“We are planning to invite our customers and show them the manufacturing. This people - thousands of people - will not just visit the plant. They will also eat Yaroslavl’s bread and salt.”
— Kunio Noji, the CEO of Komatsu company
Attraction of investors is one of the main targets of Yaroslavl region government. This summer construction of a Nicomed Pharm. plant is going to begin.
When we started this blog one year ago, almost nobody had twitter account in Yaroslavl. Now the situation has been changed: more then three hundreds people from Yaroslavl post short messages every day. No wonder why I’ve decided to show you some interesting translated tweets related to Yaroslavl.
This week was a beginning of hot days series. From 26th of April until 2nd of May I every day took approximately 10-15 seconds clips. And you can see seven places of Yaroslavl (map):
Lots of Yaroslavl Music Bands had been founded while their musicians were studying together in universities. Complane is one of such groups. Nice instrumental music from Physics Department of State University.
Complane is a fresh experimental music and, at the same time, alternative jazz project. There is no any sponsor, and it is the reason of doing the project themselves and they have ability to create everything what they want. There are only two musicians, who have a really genuine interest in difficult music.
They have very interesting attitude about music and the word as the whole:
One of our priority aims is to show through our creativity an importance of each person individuality. We make protest against a silly following the crowd, when people imitate each other and afraid of expressing own opinion. Making our music we say no to war, say there is no envy and harted between people and we support creation of the world.
The cast is very interesting and quite unusual. They mix together melody of keyboard instruments and impulsiveness of drums. The bounds of music are very wide: they mix bossa nova, funk, alternative, progressive and fusion. They call the style of their music as Intellectual Alternative.
A great air traffic problem, appeared after Icelandic volcano eruption, shows that the international transport system has to be changed. Igor Levitin, the transport minister of Russian Federation, proposed to introduce an unified ticket for all transports in Europe.
While the Europeans think, the Yaroslavl locals do! In May an integrated transport card is going to be introdused. It will replace paper tickets of all kinds of urban transport. By the way, special smart-cards for trolleys and trams already excist. One more step in this direction — combined two-kinds cards. Bus+trolley and trolley+tram are the most popular types. Plastic tickets have the same price as the paper ones. You are only have to overpay for the card itself — 38 rubles. Then just refill it.
Local government is very satisfied with the new tickets. They help to track the number of passengers due to different parts of the day. This information can be used to correct the scheldure of urban transport. But the main point is profit increment, of cource.
Yaroslavl is going to wallow in flowers in its anniversary!!!
This year there are much more participants of the action “Yaroslavl in bloom” than last one. Many people - leaders of different businesses, workers of pedagogical and medical units, clergy representatives - plan to take care about their territories in the beginning of spring. Yaroslavl is one of famous leaders of territories greenery in Russia and it is said that this year it will become as bloomy as it has never been.
“All of us start to understand and value our surrounding,” - said Galina Nikitina, chief of the action ”Yaroslavl in bloom”, head of the urban social movement ”Yaroslavl - 2000”.
The list of objects for Yaroslavl anniversary replenished by one more investment project. In the begining of the summer a huge mall called Tandem is going to come in sight. It will offer a various choice of construction and finishing materials, furniture, sport stuff, household appliances and gardening.
To realize the grandiosity of the project just imagine: its’ overall square is about of 7 football fields! There will be 4 comfortable floors for shops, stores and offices.
One more point, which Tandem is going to have, is its position. It will be quiet easy to reach the mall by new roads constructed, as well as Tandem, due to the anniversary.
It is supposed that the new mall will be visited by about 20000 people per day! Wow! Large mall in the center of the city!
