                                       The 2018 FIFA World Cup is the 21st World Cup, with Russia hosting the final
                                       tournament from June 14 to July 15, 2018. On December 2, 2010, Russia received
                                       final approval as the host country of 2018 FIFA World Cup in the Swiss city of
                                       Zurich. Russia already had a significant advantage in the second stage of the

                                       Russia is hosting the World Cup for the first time ever. Not only that, it is also the
                                       first time the tournament is held in Eastern Europe. The World Cup is taking place
                                       at 12 stadiums in 11 Russian cities.

CITY AND REGION FACTS                  1586
                                       founded

                                       On April 12, 1961, the first cosmonaut on Earth Yuri Gagarin blasted into space
                                       in a Vostok spacecraft delivered by a R7 rocket, which was created in Samara.
                                       The journey ended with Gagarin’s landing near the city of Engels in the Saratov
                                       Region. After the landing, Gagarin took a flight to Samara and spent several days
                                       there.

                                       During the Great Patriotic War, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century,
                                       Dmitry Shostakovich, lived and worked in Samara. Here, his famous Symphony
                                       No. 7 was written and performed for the first time: this hymn to humanity was
                                       performed by the Bolshoi Theater’s orchestra.

                                       The list of the city’s landmarks also includes a brewery, which was built back in
                                       1881 by Austrian nobleman Alfred von Vacano. The brewery is still running and
                                       open to visitors who wish to admire the beauty of its old Renaissance Germany-
                                       style buildings and, of course, taste the freshly brewed Zhigulevskoe beer.

                                       The ancient mine drifts in the Samara Region’s township of Shiryaevo are one of
                                       the most mysterious tourist attractions in the regions. It is a whole underground
                                       city connected by a system of tunnels, which are wide enough to easily fit a
                                       double-decker.

                                       Mount Strelnaya is the highest peak (375 m above sea level) of the Zhiguli
                                       Mountains. Stone boulders atop the mountain form a small grotto, which,
                                       according to legend, served as the lookout post for Stepan Razin’s troops. From
                                       there, robbers could survey the Volga River for over 40 km. After spotting an
                                       approaching caravan, they would signal their accomplices who were hiding
                                       behind the islands dotting the river.
