Anatoly Sabino Park (Russian: Парк имени Анатолия Собино) is a park in of Rostov-on-Don.[1] It is named after Russian revolutionary Anatoly Sobino, who is buried at its territory.[2]
History and description[]
Before the park was established, at its territory had been Lengorod Garden, which was considered the main park of Zatemernitsky Settlement, a historical part of Rostov-on-Don.[3]
In times of the Soviet Union, the park was a small piece of greenery. There also was a Ferris wheel, children's attractions, a summer stage, an open-air cinema and a planetarium.[4][5]
In the 21st century, many structures in the park came to a state of disrepair and required to be restored. At the whole territory there are fragments of old buildings, among them — remains of the summer stage, which is surrounded by bricks and building blocks, as well as by a brick wall. Most of the benches were broken as well as the sidewalks. Rostov-on-Don dwellers usually call this park "skvernyi skver" (ugly square in English).[4]
In 2006 the park was granted the status of a square. The territory underwent some changes: the trees in emergent condition were cut off, dilapidated buildings were partly demolished. In 2014 the park was again partly landscaped.[5]
In December 2017 an Orthodox chapel constructed at the territory of the park, which was meant to be transformed into a church, was a subject of arson. It is presumed that the arson was committed by some of the local residents who were hostile to the idea of construction of a new chapel in the city district.[6]
