This is the name of the Northern part of the city. A military servant Ivan Chernikov arrived here from Moscow in 1607, received the land and founded the village Chernikovka. In 1944 it had been included in to the urban area together with villages Dejnevo and Alexadnrovskiy under the name Chernikovsk. In 1956 Ufa and Chernikovsk became one city – Ufa. In the years of the Great Patriotic War there were the evacuated industrial enterprises from the western parts of the country. Chernikovsk was built according to the radius-circle principle. Now the architecture of the northern part of the city stands out with its originality and beauty. The spacious squares with the administrative and cultural buildings with pillars typical for the middle of the previous century and green streets and alleys leading to different directions – this is the traditional Chernikovsk look. «The starting point», a good landmark is the first high-rise buildings in Ufa «vosmietazhki» (eight-storied building) – these are two apartment buildings built in 1954 parallel to each other on Pervomayskaya Street. The street going from west to east is crowned with two culture centers – one named after Ordzhonikidze and the other «Motormanufacturer». Now there are a lot of enterprises in the Northern part of Ufa, its industrial zone is one of the biggest in Europe. Here is also the Ufa State Technical Petroleum University, one of the best in Russia, the source of the specialists of the oil industry for our country and abroad. The most attractive for tourists is a steep bank of Belaya River. Here is the mosque LialiaTulpan, one of the new symbols of the city, Victory Park, the Museum of the Fight Glory, the complex «Biathlon», the mountain ski center.
