Stepan Razin Embankment

Stepan Razin Embankment

The Stepan Razin embankment, shown in this webcam, is located on the right bank of the Volga River and runs from the city garden to the stadium. The promenade in live broadcast got its name in honor of the Don Cossack Stepan Razin. On the embankment in this webcam, buildings of the early 18th century have been preserved in the form of “continuous buildings”.

Since 1810, the right bank in the online camera was completely the pier of the Vyshnevolotsk water system, and before the formation of the cargo port and passenger river station, the promenade in the web camera was filled with ships. Later, the Stepan Razin Embankment, shown in a live camera, became a pedestrian zone and a popular place for walking and recreation among local residents. Since the banks of the Volga were severely eroded several times, they were reinforced with a granite parapet.

A monument to the Soviet and Russian poet, radio and TV presenter, Andrey Dementyev, was recently erected on the embankment in an online broadcast. Also among the famous attractions of attention are the “Zvezda” cinema, the House Voroshilov shooters and the Khozinsky estate.
