Walking in Russian Village near Ukraine border - Russia Travel Vlog

Описание: The city of Gukovo was founded in the Provallia Steppe in 1878 as a railway station. It was further developed due to the presence of high quality anthracite coal reserves. Coal was mined here before the revolution of 1917.

In the city there is the only in the European part of Russia Gukovsky Museum of Miners' Labor. The museum was founded in 1964 as a local history museum, at the beginning of the 21 century it began to develop intensively as a mining museum. After moving to a new building on Kovalev Street, 49, in the museum appeared a complex of rooms "Mine", which presents mining workings in full size, panoramas of pre-revolutionary mines, mining machinery and equipment. Currently, the museum's collection consists of more than 23,000 items.

The oldest church in the city is St. Nicholas' Church, built in 1887. The temple, unlike many others that were destroyed by Soviet orders or during combat operations, survived both the Revolution and the Civil War and World War II. In 1978-1986 the church was reconstructed and greatly expanded. A new foundation was dug and the walls were bricked up. In 1992, a new painting of the interior walls of the temple was completed.

Since 2007, there have been efforts to make it a tourist attraction; the town's hotel was renovated and reopened in 2013. In the summer, there is a population of six caretakers.
