About the park
Chistyakovskaya Roscha covers 36 hectares in the block between 40 let Pobedy, Kolhoznaya and Zipovskaya streets. Tree plantings alternate with avenues, and a lawn was laid around the park’s perimeter during the 2008 reconstruction. The tree cover continues to expand: new planting avenues are being established, including Svadebnaya and Teatralnaya, with schoolchildren taking part in the work.

The first forest-park plantings appeared in the 1890s on the northern edge of Yekaterinodar, initiated by the Cossack Dolgov. In 1900, the city duma allocated 30 desyatinas for the grove. It was named after the city governor, Gavriil Chistyakov, who planted trees alongside schoolchildren and seminarians. Early plantings included pedunculate oak, Hartwiss’s oak, common ash and western plane. During the occupation of Krasnodar, an anti-tank trench on the site was used to dump the bodies of residents who had been shot or strangled. On 9 May 1975, a memorial was opened here to the thousands of townspeople killed during the occupation. The grove’s historic name was restored in 2008, after its Soviet-era name, Pervomayskaya.
Birds in the grove help control pests on trees and shrubs; those noted there include woodpeckers, owls, goldfinches, starlings and tits. Birds recorded nearby include common wood-pigeon, Eurasian blackbird, Eurasian blue tit, great tit and rock pigeon.
