The history of Samara
Samara was founded as a fortress in 1586 to protect the Volga trade route. Soon the city became the main center of trade. In 1935, it was renamed Kuibyshev in honor of the revolutionary communist.
During World War II, when Moscow was threatened by a German attack, many government offices were moved to Kuibyshev, which contributed to its growth. After the war, the city became the center of the Soviet defense industry and was therefore closed to foreigners. In 1991, it was renamed Samara and reopened to the outside world.
