Description
The Palace of Culture of Railway Workers named after A.S. Pushkin, also known as the Pushkin People's House, is a concert hall located on Leo Tolstoy Street, 94, in the city of Samara.
The history of this building begins in 1898 when a decision was made to construct a People's House with a theater hall for 600 seats. The project was developed by architect Filarét Zasukhin with funds from the Trusteeship for Public Sobriety and Alfred von Wakano, the owner of the Zhigulevsk Brewery. The name of the house was given in honor of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. The official opening took place in 1903. It housed two auditoriums, club rooms, a library, and a tea room.
During the Soviet era, the house was renamed the Club named after the 1905 Revolution. In 1983–1987, the building was reconstructed according to the project of Mikhail Makridin and Sergey Mishin.
Today, the Palace of Culture of Railway Workers named after A.S. Pushkin is a cultural center that hosts various events. Its repertoire includes performances from three theaters: the artistic "Vitrazhi," the youth drama "Masterskaya," and the "Arka" theater. Famous artists perform here, and festivals and festive events take place.
The activities of the palace are not limited to just theatrical performances and concerts. Various clubs operate here, choreographic numbers, fashion shows, exhibitions, and fairs are held.
