Rostov Region, White Kalitva - a small pearl of a large country
What is Kalitva? Surprisingly, the toponyms, who seem to know the answers to all the questions, until the forties did not think about the meaning of this word. And only M. Makarov, commenting on the vocabulary of Mr. Linde, noted: the word probably consists of two "Russified" derivatives: a colo (about) and Lithuania.
A bit of history
More than a million people live in a territory called the Rostov Region. White Kalitva, which received the status of the city only in 1958, occupies far from the first place in terms of population. But here there are unique monuments, one of which is known throughout Russia. This is the only monument in the world to the heroes of the Word about the regiment of Igor. Established in 1970, it became one of the pearls of the urban settlement. The entire Rostov region is proud of this monument. White Kalitva is known for other literary compositions. For a long time Sholokhov Aksinya and grandfather Shchukar, three Bears from the Russian fairy tale, and other small sculptural forms "live" in the city. Sculptures - one of the main attractions of White Kalitva. Those that are smaller decorate lawns and flower beds. Those that are larger are installed in gardens and parks. Near them appoint appointments, make offers of a hand and heart. Sculptures are an important part of city life.
Kalitva today
The first thing that strikes visitors today is the forest of new buildings. The city is gradually moving deeper into the steppe, turning green spaces into cozy residential areas. Like the entire Rostov region, Belaya Kalitva participates in several housing programs. However, the growing modern areas are in good harmony with the "old city".
