On September 24 in Ulyanovsk, two “Pugachev in Simbirsk: history and myths” city tours took place.  The students of Ulyanovsk Guards Suvorov Military School and gymnasium №13 participated in the events.

The children enjoyed visiting the sights in the city center, learned many interesting details about Alexander Pushkin’s visit to Simbirsk, immersed themselves in the history of the Pugachev uprising, learned new facts and legends about Simbirsk-Ulyanovsk and the connection of the great poet with our city. At the end of the excursion routes, Emelyan Pugachev himself spoke about the finale of the events of those years in his monologue.
