You are going to love Kirov. It is one of the oldest cities in Russia sprawling on the banks of the Vyatka River, in the north-east of the European part of the Russian Federation. Undoubtedly, it is an interesting place to visit given its unforgettable character, culture, and history. This administrative center seems to be one of the infrequent islands of civilization in taiga forests.
The population is approximately 473 000. That makes it the largest settlement in the whole of Kirov region. The date of the foundation is believed to be 1174. It was earlier known as either Khlynov or Vyatka. In December of 1934, the city was named after one of the Soviet leaders Sergei Kirov who had been assassinated three years before.
After spending some time in Kirov, don’t forget to visit and investigate Vyatka’s other attractions. Check out traditional derevnias (little settlements) that are famous for skillful craftsmen living in there. But there is one place where you can discover all the scenic taiga attractions to be found in Kirov oblast. Meet the Bylina State wildlife reserve! The 47632-hectare area’s unique flora and fauna were reserved untouched. But the main highlight is a lady’s-slipper orchid. It is somewhat common in continental Europe but extremely rare in the taiga. That’s why Russian nature scientists and enthusiasts consider it to be the belle of the ball inside the reserve. Cypripedium calceolus is recorded in Russia’s Red Book.
The exotic looking flowers have purple petals which frame a beautiful bright yellow pouch. Each stem usually supports fewer than 2 flowers. Hairy oval leaves clasp the stem. The orchid takes up to 10 years of vegetation before it produces flowers.
Make sure to have carved out the entire day to drop by and enjoy a lady’s-slipper orchid, the best thing since sliced bread!
