Only in Ulan Ude for a few hours after our visit to Tarbagatay but time in the morning for a walk to the town square and Lenin Statue which is imposing and one of thousands in Russia
Huge head of Lenin This is a huge head of Lenin monument instead of other cities which always spot the same Lenin statue pose. The square is big and surrounded by old parliament buildings. Notice the corner shop is tiny and sells that KBAC yeast drink that taste like fizzy soy sauce or Marmite.
An icon of the city of Ulan Ude, located in the main square. Q
It's the main and the most popular monument in Ulan-Ude, it's a symbol, page of SU period of history. Huge and impressive.
Very good statue of Lenin 22.06.2019
Keep in mind the following: it is 1) the BIGGEST Lenin head in the world; 2) made in the GDR; 3) given a slightly Asian lineament; 4) the reason for the common invective for Buryat people in Russian Hope this one helps you a little bit)
Good statue, nice to stretch your legs and have a day of the train, if your doing the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Biggest human head monument in the world. It's a so peaceful at morning

What a peaceful place with a breathtaking view of the city. The place is also perfect to see sunset. Bus 97 can take you there, very easy ride.
One of the most scenic spots in the city and beautiful place to visit and know the culture. You can ride here on taxi-bus (marshrutka) N°97 from the city centre. Bring sun creme with you to avoid sun burns. Also bring some water as well.
One of the best view of Ulan Ude from here. Monastery has few area of worship and history. Must visit when in Siberia . Would go back once again …
Love here,I feel peace in it.
(Translated by Google) It’s a pity that there are no excursions on site, nothing was clear to me. But as I was told, they don’t like tourists here, because this is a holy place, not for strangers. Nearby there is a large store with souvenirs, clothes and Ayurvedic medicines. A dull cafe, a shop with eco-products and a paid toilet. It was very, very difficult to get a taxi from there. Check in advance on the Internet what time the khurals are held; at this time you should not visit the temple as a tourist (Original) Жаль, что нет экскурсий на месте, мне было ничего не понятно. Но как мне сказали, тут не любят туристов, тк это святое место, не для чужаков. Рядом есть большой магазин с сувенирами, одеждой и аюрведическими препаратами. Унылое кафе, магазинчик с эко продукцией и платный туалет. Такси от туда вызвать было очень-очень сложно. Посмотрите заранее в интернете, во сколько проводятся хуралы, в это время не стоит посещать храм в качестве туриста
(Translated by Google) Great place to relax. The mountain offers a beautiful view of the city. There is a trail with gazebos, a cafe next to the datsan, a souvenir shop, and a paid toilet. It's better to visit this place in summer (Original) Отличное место для отдыха. С горы открывается красивый вид на город. Есть тропа с беседками , кафе рядом с дацаном, сувенирная лавка, платный туалет . Лучше посещать это место летом
(Translated by Google) 2025.06.02 In the morning, before heading south back to Ulaanbaatar, we first came to this hillside in the northern suburbs of Ulan-Ude. Here, the view is wide and the outlook is excellent. You can overlook the beautiful scenery of Ulan-Ude city and the Selenge River flowing from south to north through the city. (Original) 2025.06.02 早晨,我們南下返回烏蘭巴托前,先來到位於烏蘭烏德北郊的這個山坡上。 這裡視野開闊、展望極佳,可以眺望烏蘭烏德市區以及由南向北流經市區的色楞格河的優美景致。
(Translated by Google) Very well-kept monastery with a beautiful, wide view of the city and the river. In the late afternoon we saw few visitors and it was quiet. A beautiful and sensual atmosphere (Original) Sehr gepflegtes Kloster mit einem wunderschönen weiten Blick auf die Stadt und den Fluss. Am späten Nachmittag haben wir wenig Besucher angetroffen und es war ruhig. Eine schöne und sinnliche Atmosphäre

I can only add to the same good reviews - great place to visit except the zoo - it broke my heart to see the tiger and bear in the cages, there is no need for that. Everything else is really great. That's why 4 stars
Got here in monday, so i could not get to the main part, since it's closed in Mon and Tue. Anyway, you can go and see animals in the zoo, spend some time laying down in hammock, walk around the park. To get here you need to catch a taxi-bus(marshrutka) N°37 from the city centre.
Very educational museum set up as a beautiful park. Great place to walk around as adults and to bring children too. Only reason not 5 stars is because the little zoo is extremely depressing. Very small catches and poor animals. If you skip the animals the museum is AWESOME, but the animals are very depressing.
First of all, despite having paid full ticket price and half the display being closed, I think this museum gives good insight to the everyday life in Siberian towns. What I found shocking, cruel and utterly unacceptable was the little zoo part. Animals in very bad shape such as tigers, bears wolves and foxes (one of which had a deep injury in her nose) are kept in very tiny cages without any shade. I believe they should be set free or sent somewhere where they can be better treated.
When we visited (mid May) we were disappointed to see that a lot of the houses and reconstructions were closed. Most upsetting of all, however, were the animals on display, all kept in tiny pens. There were tigers, bears, foxes, wolves etc etc who were all clearly very distressed, mangey and bored from being kept in such small cages. I hope that one day soon these animals can be released into the wild or nature parks where they will have the space to roam free as wild animals should.
Interesting place,but in April so cold here
Very busy in weekends with nice weather. Anyway worth to visit
Terrible exposition. If you had an opportunity to go to Talci near Irkutsk I recommend you to go there.

So beautiful church in a Ulan-ude. Have a nice garden
(Translated by Google) Calm, ascetic temple. The outside is airy and lacy, the inside is strict and calm, at the same time very welcoming and warm. A place of prayer. The Smolensk copy of the icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria flowed myrrh and is especially revered by the townspeople. This icon is on the right near the windows. On the top floor are kept the relics (rib) of Varlaam of Chikoy, a locally revered saint. The upper aisle is temporarily closed to parishioners. #guidenataliamyasnikova (Original) Спокойный, аскетичный храм. Снаружи воздушный и кружевной, внутри строгий и спокойный, одновременно очень приветливый и теплый. Намоленное место. Смоленский список иконы Богоматери Одигитрия мироточил и особо почитаем у горожан. Эта икона справа у окон. На верхнем этаже хранятся мощи (ребро) Варлаама Чикойского, местночтимого святого. Верхний придел временно закрыт для прихожан. #гиднаталиямясникова
(Translated by Google) It is considered the first stone building in the city of Ulan-Ude. Built in 1741-1785. Before the war, the cathedral building housed an anti-religious museum. It was recognized as an architectural monument only in 1960. Currently it is a cultural heritage site of federal significance. (Original) Считается первым каменным зданием в городе Улан-Удэ. Построен в 1741-1785 годах. До войны в здании собора размещался антирелигиозный музей. Признан памятником архитектуры только в 1960 году. В данный момент является объектом культурного наследия федерального значения.
(Translated by Google) St. Odigitry Cathedral was named after the Blessed Virgin Mary "Odigitry". Construction of the cathedral began in 1741 and lasted more than 40 years. It is the first stone building in Verhneudinsk. The absence of frescoes and the main decorative element, the gilded iconostasis, represent a distinctive feature compared to comparable buildings. The cathedral is considered one of the most outstanding examples of stone architecture in the first half of the 18th century and is the only surviving example of the Siberian Baroque style. (Original) Die St. Odigitry Kathedrale wurde nach der Heiligen Jungfrau Maria "Odigitry" benannt. 1741 begann der mehr als 40 Jahre andauernde Bau der Kathedrale. Es handelt sich um das erste Steingebäude in Verhneudinsk. Das Fehlen von Fresken und das dekorative Hauptelement, die vergoldete Ikonostase, stellen eine Besonderheit zu vergleichbaren Bauwerken dar. Die Kathedrale gilt als eines der herausragendsten Beispiele für Steinarchitektur in der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts und ist das einzige erhaltene Beispiel für den sibirischen Barockstil.

Kind staff, and good museum, you can learn a lot about the history of Ulan use. You can pay 120 rub and rent national buratyan clothes. Is a great experience. The only downside is that the staff don't speak English, just Russian. Also buy the amazing poker cards with the different Buratyan clans in the store
very interesting museum and a cool selection of exhibited items, I enjoyed it a lot and would totally recommend!
Pretty small and not a lot of English labels, good if you're in the area but not worth going out of your way for.
Interesting temples and history, but not too much to see in muzey
There are events sometimes, u can read there about Verhneudinsk(now Ulan-Ude) history on the desk inside and its very interesting.
Not enough information in English.
(Translated by Google) The museum is great! Having lived in Ulan-Ude all my life, I have never been on an excursion, and after the visit I did not regret it. The employees are incredibly kind and nice people: they will tell and show you everything informatively. The contents of the museum also did not disappoint. Despite the small size of the museum, inside there is a treasure trove of historical photographs, objects, and the museum also has an interactive room with objects from the times of the USSR, where you can touch everything. (Original) Музей - супер! Живя всю жизнь в Улан-Удэ, ни разу не бывала на экскурсии, и после визита не пожалела. Сотрудники неимоверно добрые и милые люди: всё информативно расскажут и покажут. Содержание музея также не разочаровало. Несмотря на малый размер музея, внутри кладезь исторических фотографий, предметов и также в музее есть интерактивная комната с предметами времён СССР, где можно все потрогать.

I had a wonderful time in the museum. Although I can understand only a few in Russian, the nice lady from the staff tried to explain a few things very patiently. Another staff member spoke English and explained me also some exhibits. I can highly recommend this museum to every foreigner. Thank you so much! :)
The real culture is in the street and still alive in the country side. But this museum is nice.
Good and complete. Here you can find for example mamooth bones and other rare relics. Would be better with more things in english.
(Translated by Google) A great place where you can use the wardrobe for comfortable viewing of the exhibitions! ❤ Friendly and hospitable staff! 🌺 (Original) Прекрасное место, в котором можно воспользоваться гардероб для комфортного просмотра экспозиций! ❤ Доброжелательный и гостеприимный персонал! 🌺
(Translated by Google) Great interactive museum! You can touch, listen, and more than clearly see! I recommend taking a tour. It will be interesting for both adults and children. The ticket, like the excursion, costs very symbolically (in my opinion). Overall I recommend it 😊👍 (Original) Отличный интерактивный музей! Можно и потрогать, и послушать, и более чем наглядно увидеть! Рекомендую брать экскурсию. Будет интересно и взрослым, и деткам. Билет как и экскурсия стоит очень символично (на мой взгляд). В общем рекомендую 😊👍
(Translated by Google) This is the best museum I have been to in Ulan-Ude. Interesting for both children and adults. Very informative. You can listen to the singing of birds and how the volcano erupts, learn useful information about Baikal, touch the fur of animals, examine everything down to the finest details. Thank you for being here. I'll come again!!!! (Original) Это самый лучший музей из которых я была в Улан-Удэ. Интересно и детям и взрослым. Очень познавательно. Можно послушать пение птиц и как извергается вулкан, узнать полезную информацию о Байкале, потрогать мех животных, рассмотреть все до тончайших деталей. Спасибо, что вы есть. Приду ещё раз!!!!
(Translated by Google) I really liked the Nature Museum. Located in a new location in the building of the Sampilov Art Museum. I won’t say that he was bad in his old place, but the changes are generally for the better. Even a three-year-old child will find it very interesting. The museum seems to have become closer to the visitor, there is a lot of things you can touch, listen to, look at, spy on, open, and even play. I recommend it to everyone! (Original) Музей природы очень понравился. Находится на новом месте в здании художественного музея имени Сампилова. Не скажу, что раньше на старом месте он был плох, но изменения в целом в лучшую сторону. Даже трехлетнему ребёнку будет очень интересно. Музей как будто стал ближе к посетителю, много чего можно потрогать, послушать, посмотреть и подсмотреть, открыть, и даже поиграть. Рекомендую всем!
(Translated by Google) This is unreal! You look at the paintings painted back in 1870 and you are amazed!! The people looking at you from portraits have been gone for 150 years, but here they are... and the colors!! Yes, there is a lot to say, it’s better to see it once!!! 120 rubles for entry is nothing compared to the impressions left behind!! Friends, go! You won't regret it! (Original) Это нереально! Смотришь на картины написаные еще в 1870 годах и диву даешься!! Людей, смотрящих на тебя с портретов уже нет 150 лет, а они вот они... а краски!!

(Translated by Google) A great place to relax and meditate. ❤️❤️❤️The mountains go somewhere into the sky. 🌹🌹🌹 Very beautiful.🙏🙏🙏 When you come, you feel a sense of touching great power and light💯💯💯👍👍👍And they also come here to ask the Goddess Yanzhima-Saraswati for help in creative matters🌹, career advancement 🎉, in studies, 🎁 to find 2nd half, ❤️ childless couples - children.👶 But for this, you need to prepare and carry out the obligatory things for the ceremony. And it is advisable to see the face of the Goddess Yanzhima on the stone. 🙏🙏🙏 (Original) Прекрасное место для отдыха и медитации. ❤️❤️❤️Горы уходят куда-то в небо. 🌹🌹🌹 Очень красиво.🙏🙏🙏 Когда приезжаешь ощущение прикосновения к большой силе и свету💯💯💯👍👍👍А ещё сюда едут просить Богиню Янжиму-Сарасвати о помощи в творческих делах🌹, продвижение по службе 🎉, в учёбе, 🎁 найти 2-ю половинку,❤️ бездетные пары - детей.👶 Но для этого, надо готовиться и вести уже обязательные вещи для обряда. И желательно увидеть лик Богини Янжимы на камне. 🙏🙏🙏
(Translated by Google) Amazing, blissful place. One of the shrines of Buddhism. The path to the league of the goddess begins immediately behind the datsan. It is boardwalk along its entire length, so it is impossible to lose your way. The path to the stone itself with the manifested face is +-1 km, maybe a little more. (Original) Потрясающее, благостное место. Одна из святынь буддизма. Тропа к лигу богини начинается сразу за дацаном. Она дощатая на всём протяжении, поэтому с пути сбиться невозможно. Путь до самого камня с проявленным ликом составляет +-1км, может чуть больше.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful holy place, a place of strength, a place where hope comes🙏 I was pleased with the opportunity to transfer funds through Sberbank to donate and order a prayer service. The road now almost all the way to Barguzin is very good, repairs are being made, there is not much left, repairs from Barguzin to Datsan are still in the plans, but we were lucky the graders passed after the rains and the road was more or less normal. On the territory of the datsan everything is equipped and very clean, we were with a child, you can take a stroller for the child with you, there is a boardwalk almost up to the face, which is very convenient, when we were 10 years ago this was not the case (Original) Прекрасное святое место, место силы, место где приходят надежды🙏 Порадовала возможность перевода средств через Сбербанк для пожертвования и заказа молебна. Дорога сейчас почти до самого Баргузина очень хорошая, делается ремонт, осталось не много, от Баргузина до дацана ремонт пока в планах, но нам повезло грейдера прошли после дождей и дорога была более менее нормальная. На территории дацана все обустроено и очень чисто, мы были с ребенком, там можно взять коляску для ребенка с собой, почти до самого лика там сделана дощатая дорожка, что очень удобно, когда мы были лет 10 назад такого не было
(Translated by Google) Here you can not only worship the goddess Yanzhima, but also go through a wonderful walking route (first there is an equipped route to Yanzhima, and then up to the waterfall - through the taiga)). Beauty! True, a huge bear apparently lives there (see photo of how he marks his territory), but nothing, but interesting. You can stay in guest houses, there are no problems with housing. Not far away there is the famous Arshan, where the best silver water in Russia is! (Original) Здесь можно не только поклониться богине Янжиме, но и пройти замечательный пеший маршрут ( сначала до Янжимы маршрут оборудованный, а далее наверх к водопаду - по тайге)). Красотааа! Правда, там медведь огромный живёт, видимо ( см фото, как он метит свою территорию), но ничего, зато интересно. Поселиться можно в гостевых домах, проблем с жильем нет. Недалеко есть знаменитый аршан, там лучшая в России серебряная вода!
(Translated by Google) The place is simply soulful, oddly enough, while you walk to the stone of worship you can’t hear the birds making noise, you can’t hear the wind blowing, just silence and grace. You have to ask the lamas if you are interested in anything, but practically everything is available at the stands. (Original) Место просто душевное, как ни странно пока идёшь до камня поклонения не слышно чтобы птички шумели, не слышно как ветер дует, просто тиш и благодать. Что то именно интересует надо спрашивать у лам, а так все практически есть информация на стендах.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful nature, excellent energy and miraculous properties of this place attract tourists from all over the country and beyond. (Original) Прекрасная природа, великолепная энергетика и чудодейственные свойства этого места привлекают туристов со всей страны и за её пределами.
(Translated by Google) There is a special spirit in the Barguzin datsan - here you find peace and spiritual harmony. The nature around is very conducive to inner peace, looking around you see only beauty. Rising to the stone of the goddess Yanzhima, where you can see her beautiful face in different forms. We were there just before the prayer service, when there were not many people yet and I was able to see three different images of the goddess Yanzhima. This is an amazing place! I invite everyone to come and see everything with their own eyes! I want to once again plunge into the sacred world of the Barguzin datsan and the surrounding area. (Original) В Баргузинском дацане витает особый дух -здесь находишь для себя умиротворение, душевную гармонию. Природа вокруг очень располагает к внутреннему покою, осматриваясь вокруг видишь только красоту. Поднимаясь к камню богини Янжимы, где можно лицезреть ее прекрасный лик в разных ипостасях. Мы были там как раз перед молебном, когда еще не было много народу и мне удалось увидеть три разных образа богини Янжимы. Это удивительное место! Приглашаю всех приехать и увидеть все своими глазами! Я хочу еще раз окунуться в священный мир Баргузинского дацана и близлежащих окрестностей.

I won’t say that he was bad in his old place, but the changes are generally for the better. Even a three-year-old child will find it very interesting. The museum seems to have become closer to the visitor, there is a lot of things you can touch, listen to, look at, spy on, open, and even play. I recommend it to everyone! (Original) Музей природы очень понравился. Находится на новом месте в здании художественного музея имени Сампилова. Не скажу, что раньше на старом месте он был плох, но изменения в целом в лучшую сторону. Даже трехлетнему ребёнку будет очень интересно. Музей как будто стал ближе к посетителю, много чего можно потрогать, послушать, посмотреть и подсмотреть, открыть, и даже поиграть. Рекомендую всем!
(Translated by Google) This is unreal! You look at the paintings painted back in 1870 and you are amazed!! The people looking at you from portraits have been gone for 150 years, but here they are... and the colors!! Yes, there is a lot to say, it’s better to see it once!!! 120 rubles for entry is nothing compared to the impressions left behind!! Friends, go! You won't regret it! (Original) Это нереально! Смотришь на картины написаные еще в 1870 годах и диву даешься!! Людей, смотрящих на тебя с портретов уже нет 150 лет, а они вот они... а краски!! Да много чего можно говорить, лучше один раз увидеть!!! 120 рублей за вход- это ничто, по сравнению с оставшимися впечатлениями!! Друзья, сходите! Не пожалеете!

Very beautiful, I definitely recommend visiting.

So beautiful church in a Ulan-ude. Have a nice garden
(Translated by Google) Calm, ascetic temple. The outside is airy and lacy, the inside is strict and calm, at the same time very welcoming and warm. A place of prayer. The Smolensk copy of the icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria flowed myrrh and is especially revered by the townspeople. This icon is on the right near the windows. On the top floor are kept the relics (rib) of Varlaam of Chikoy, a locally revered saint. The upper aisle is temporarily closed to parishioners. #guidenataliamyasnikova (Original) Спокойный, аскетичный храм. Снаружи воздушный и кружевной, внутри строгий и спокойный, одновременно очень приветливый и теплый. Намоленное место. Смоленский список иконы Богоматери Одигитрия мироточил и особо почитаем у горожан. Эта икона справа у окон. На верхнем этаже хранятся мощи (ребро) Варлаама Чикойского, местночтимого святого. Верхний придел временно закрыт для прихожан. #гиднаталиямясникова
(Translated by Google) It is considered the first stone building in the city of Ulan-Ude. Built in 1741-1785. Before the war, the cathedral building housed an anti-religious museum. It was recognized as an architectural monument only in 1960. Currently it is a cultural heritage site of federal significance. (Original) Считается первым каменным зданием в городе Улан-Удэ. Построен в 1741-1785 годах. До войны в здании собора размещался антирелигиозный музей. Признан памятником архитектуры только в 1960 году. В данный момент является объектом культурного наследия федерального значения.
(Translated by Google) St. Odigitry Cathedral was named after the Blessed Virgin Mary "Odigitry". Construction of the cathedral began in 1741 and lasted more than 40 years. It is the first stone building in Verhneudinsk. The absence of frescoes and the main decorative element, the gilded iconostasis, represent a distinctive feature compared to comparable buildings. The cathedral is considered one of the most outstanding examples of stone architecture in the first half of the 18th century and is the only surviving example of the Siberian Baroque style. (Original) Die St. Odigitry Kathedrale wurde nach der Heiligen Jungfrau Maria "Odigitry" benannt. 1741 begann der mehr als 40 Jahre andauernde Bau der Kathedrale. Es handelt sich um das erste Steingebäude in Verhneudinsk. Das Fehlen von Fresken und das dekorative Hauptelement, die vergoldete Ikonostase, stellen eine Besonderheit zu vergleichbaren Bauwerken dar. Die Kathedrale gilt als eines der herausragendsten Beispiele für Steinarchitektur in der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts und ist das einzige erhaltene Beispiel für den sibirischen Barockstil.
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful temple. Excellent equipped playground for children. (Original) Очень красивый храм. Прекрасная оборудованная площадка для детей.

(Translated by Google) I really love this temple! Cozy, friendly, warm! The people who serve here do it from the heart. Thank God for everything! (Original) Очень люблю этот храм! Уютный, доброжелательный, тёплый! Люди, которые здесь служат, делают это от души. Слава Богу за все!
(Translated by Google) I really love this temple! Cozy, friendly, warm! A real haven for a tired soul after a week of work. The people who serve here do it from the heart, as if for the first time, so they “catch you” and make you think... Thank God for everything! (Original) Очень люблю этот храм! Уютный, доброжелательный, тёплый! Настоящее пристанище для уставшей после рабочей недели души. Люди, которые здесь служат, делают это от души, как в первый раз, поэтому "цепляют" , заставляют задуматься...Слава Богу за все!
(Translated by Google) The toilet, very primitive, smells very bad. Dig a hole in the dirt, open the green wooden door, and the stench rises to the sky. What a cesspit~ My beautiful impression of the church was completely ruined~ (Original) 廁所,非常原始,味道非常不好。泥土地挖個洞,綠色木門一拉開,臭味冲天。糞坑啊~ 對教堂美好的印象,完全毁了~
(Translated by Google) The church is a mess: the lamps near the icons are not lit! The men in the church stand and chat, interfering with prayer. Moreover, men work in the church and behave like this! Today, 06/21/17, I saw enough of all this disgrace there, and I no longer wanted to go there! Wherever they look. (Original) В храме бардак: лампады у икон не горят! Мужики в церкви стоят и болтают, мешая молиться. Причем мужики работают в церкви и так себя ведут! Сегодня 21.06.17 я там насмотрелась на все это безобразие, и больше ходить туда желание отпало! Куда только смотрят там.
(Translated by Google) St. Nicholas Cathedral. It is one of the common cathedrals in Russia. I liked the small size... Храм Святого Николая Чудотворца (Original) 성 니콜라스 성당. 러시아에는 흔한 성당 중 하나임. 아담한 사이즈가 좋았던.. Храм Святого Николая Чудотворца
(Translated by Google) A friend confessed for the first time in this church, she was AGED, she was afraid, worried, the priest helped a lot... she began to go to church... GOD BLESS THE FRATES!!! (Original) Подруга в первый раз исповедалась в этом храме, ВОЗРАСТНАЯ , боялась, переживала, батюшка очень помог... она стала ходить в храм... БАТЮШЕК ХРАНИ ГОСПОДЬ!!!
(Translated by Google) I like the temple itself, but during the service the walking of the parishioners constantly distracts them from prayer. (Original) Сам храм мне нравится, но во время службы хождение прихожан постоянно отвлекает от молитвы.
(Translated by Google) It’s a good temple, I visit it every Sunday. (Original) Хороший храм, Я бываю в нём каждое воскресенье.

This market is a must have and fun to walk through. I love the small retailers for sweets and dried fruits at the front.
Just your stereotypical people's market place. But here you can get best meat and vegetables.
A bit overpriced for the food, but if you need to change USD, it's the best place to go as well.
Central place with seasonal fruits, veggies and berries and other food
No progress, dirty ... echo of USSR

(Translated by Google) My son really liked it. They even made a play area for the kids. You can sit and read books on the sofa. The performances are very interesting and not traditional. Very bright, cheerful and musical. If you start taking children to theaters, only with Ulger. The attitude of the staff is also very good and attentive. (Original) Сыну очень понравилось. Они сделали игровую зону даже для детей. Можно посидеть почитать на диване книжки. Представления очень интересные и не традиционные. Очень яркие, веселые и музыкальные. Если и начинать водить детей в театры, только с Ульгэр. Отношение сотрудников тоже очень хорошое и внимательное.
(Translated by Google) One of the best puppet theaters in Russia. It is better to come to the performance in advance, because... 15 minutes later the game program begins in the foyer with a clown. The theater has comfortable high chairs for children, which can be transformed into regular ones. (Original) Один из лучших кукольных театров в России. Приходить на спектакль лучше заранее, т.к. за 15 минут начинается игровая программа в фойе с клоуном. В театре удобные высокие кресла для детей, которые трансформируются в обычные
(Translated by Google) Much needed good theater. The children are delighted! Top class artists, well done! They give in completely. The dolls are cute and come to life during the performance. Cosy. I wish the theater prosperity. Let him bring good, eternal goodness to the people and to the small people... (Original) Очень нужный хороший театр. Дети в восторге! Артисты высшего класса, молодцы! Отдаются полностью. Куклы милые, оживают на представлении. Уютно. Желаю процветания театру. Пусть несёт в народ и в маленький народ доброе, вечное...
(Translated by Google) We watched the play “Lullaby for Mom” with my adult daughter. The performance is a DELIGHT!!! Many thanks to the entire theater staff, actors, director, lighting technicians, designers... You are the most talented people. I have seen Obraztsov’s best performances. Your performance was emotionally captivating, surprising, and shocking. You are real wizards. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Continued creative success! (Original) Посмотрели со взрослой дочкой спектакль"Колыбельная для мамы". Спектакль- ВОСТОРГ!!!! Огромное спасибо всему коллективу театра, артистам, режиссёру, осветителям, художникам... Вы- талантливейшие люди.Видела лучшие спектакли Образцова. Ваш спектакль эмоционально захватил больше, удивил, потряс. Вы- настоящие волшебники. Огромное вам СПАСИБО! Дальнейших творческих успехов!
(Translated by Google) The theater puts on very interesting performances for children and toddlers, my little daughter really likes the dolls and their play) it’s always fun and interesting) thank you very much to the actors for their wonderful performance) (Original) В театре ставят очень интересные спектакли для детей и малышей, моей маленькой дочери очень нравятся куклы и их игра) всегда весело и интересно) спасибо большое актерам за их прекрасную игру)
(Translated by Google) The actors are great, but it’s hard without a theater, there’s very little space. (Original) Актеры молодцы, но без театра тяжко, очень мало места.
(Translated by Google) The room is still small, there is not enough good wardrobe and a buffer, there are also few seats and it is uncomfortable for children to watch because of the people sitting in front, it is far from the bus stop (Original) Помещение все-таки маленькое, не хватает хорошего гардероба и буфера, сидячих мест тоже мало и детям смотреть неудобно из-за впереди сидячих, от остановки далеко

Great performance, good acting crew, deep meanings. It is pleasantness inside.
(Translated by Google) “Your Vampilov” got me through. But this is not an indicator for me. But here are eight 14-year-old teenagers with me, after the performance they discussed: who cried in what place and how many times - this is already objective. I love Youth. They are very cool ❤️ (Original) "Ваш Вампилов" меня пронял. Но меня - это ещё не показатель. А вот восемь 14-летних подростков со мной, после спектакля обсуждавшие: кто в каком месте и сколько раз плакал - это уже объективно. Люблю Молодёжку. Они очень крутые ❤️
(Translated by Google) Today we watched the play "Chekhov jokes" in Melikhovo, as part of the theater festival. Guys - a cannon, a bomb, a firecracker! Ulan-Ude is lucky with its theater life 🔥 (Original) Сегодня смотрели спектакль " Чехов шутки" в Мелихово, в рамках театрального фестиваля. Ребята - пушка, бомба, петарда! Улан-Удэ повезло с театральной жизнью 🔥
(Translated by Google) Recently my wife and I attended the play “Maryina Roshcha” in the youth group. And I’ll tell you... friends, luck will happen (it’s rare in the repertoire, unfortunately), don’t hesitate! Everything came together: the dramaturgy, the director’s reading, the acting! Pleasure through tears!!! Yes, a difficult post-war topic. But the performance is definitely worth your time! Every minute! And your applause! We watched it performed by the young cast of the troupe. There was only one disappointment: the number of spectators. There were oh, how unforgivably few of us there were!! Aaand...yes, don't forget a clean handkerchief. More. There will be no photo. There was no time before... Go and see! (Original) Недавно попали с женой на спектакль "Марьина роща" в "молодёжке". И скажу я вам....друзья, случится удача(он редок в репертуаре, к сожалению), не раздумывайте! Сошлось всё: драматургия, режиссерское прочтение, игра актеров! Удовольствие сквозь слёзы!!! Да, непростая поствоенная тематика. Но спектакль однозначно стоит вашего времени! Каждой минуты! И ваших аплодисментов! Смотрели в исполнении молодого состава труппы. Одно лишь огорчило: количество зрителей. Нас было ах, как непростительно мало!! Иии..да, не забудьте чистый носовой платок. Побольше. Фото не будет. Не до того было... Идите, и увидите!
(Translated by Google) The place was wonderful, the best student years, however, since Galina passed away, I was not there, no one will ever dare to play preference again. Now my daughter goes there, and we are already getting old, it looks like we need to go there somehow, ten years have already passed. (Original) Место было замечательным, лучшие студенческие годы, правда, как Галины не стало, небыл там, в преферанс больше никто не позавет сыграть. Сейчас туда дочь ходит, а мы уже стареем похоже, как нибудь надо зайти, лет десять уже прошло.
(Translated by Google) I really liked it. Excellent for younger children. Children are involved in the process. You can run and participate. It feels like home. Thanks for the show! (Original) Очень понравилось. Для детей младшей группы отлично. Дети вовлечены в процесс. Можно бегать и участвовать. По-домашнему уютно. Спасибо за представление!
(Translated by Google) The hall is small, a little gloomy and the seats are not comfortable, but the emotions you get from a performance or concert cover all these little things in life!!! (Original) Небольшой зал, немного мрачновато и не удобные сиденья, но эмоции, которые получаешь от спектакля или концерта, перекрывают все эти мелочи жизни!!!
(Translated by Google) The theater is known far beyond the Republic of Buryatia not only as a professional artistic group, but also as a center that carries out large socially significant projects in the region in the field of ecology, social movement, education, and culture. (Original) Театр известен далеко за пределами Республики Бурятия не только, как профессиональный художественный коллектив, но и как центр, осуществляющий в регионе крупные общественно-значимые проекты в сфере экологии, общественного движения, образования, культуры.
