It seems he does exist...!?

On the Soviet arms of Uryupinsk, both dates in the history of the city are displayed, and even there is a hint of an object (rifle bayonet), which should become the cause of the last date in his history.

But the second event, for not entirely understandable reasons, at the date specified in advance, did not happen. After a quarter of a century, after the planned date of the demise city's, its residents and administration realized, that figures, on the city's coat of arms, do not correspond to historical truth, and adopted a new coat of arms of the city.


Local historians and dreamers are sure that crowds of Moscow and foreign tourists have long been going to come to them in town. With the approval of the administration and the majority of the adult population of the city, they declared Uryupinsk the capital of the entire Russian province.

Inhabitants of Uryupinsk offers everyone, who does not have anyone, who could send him, by the most main Russian route, use the phrase: "Oh, drop everything, leave to Uryupinsk!" For these poor fellows, they even built, in their own town, the terminal station to no one of an unknown railway.

But the capital status of Uryupinsk is disputed by the Siberian city of Muhosransk, and on the world scale - by the African Timbuktu.


rivals or twin cities

Timbuktu can brag of his age and hot climate, but in the city a dry law, and the city market does not have such a variety of winter clothes.

Muhosransk a lot younger and does not have such glorious traditions of provincial life.
