Archive Video Shows Krasnodar Center 31 Years Ago with Bread Queues
Archival video from 1995 shows the center of Krasnodar with its cinemas and bread shops.
On January 20, 1995, residents of Krasnodar filmed themselves driving a Moskvich car along Krasnaya Street with an American. Following the route, they casually talked about city life. At that time, the «Russia» cinema was still intact, where a huge Marriott hotel now stands, on October Revolution Square (now Main City Square) you could still park your car, and at Krasnaya, 33, there was a famous bread shop with long queues. Even in the video, locals note that the bread there was always fresh.
After 31 years, we invite you to reminisce with us and watch the video, which has already become part of history.
What happened to Soviet cinemas in Krasnodar can be read in this article. While «Russia» was demolished long ago, the famous «Aurora» has been reminiscent of a ghost from the past for years.
Earlier, 93.RU also reported what used to be on the site of the regional administration, the Galeriya shopping center, and where cemeteries were located.
