Description of Our Community: Siberian town Uzhur has the population of only 15000 people. Most of them work for agriculture. Here you can find delicious cheese and meat, vegetables and bread. Uzhur is famous for its farming products all over the region. The town is surrounded by beautiful fields, hills and forests. It has a long history starting with the ancient tribes. The town keeps its traditions. That is the place where history and modern era exist together.

Project Description: We often look for historical heritage in old buildings, but we seldom notice the plates with Street Names on these buildings. But the names of the streets are historical heritage as well! A friend of our team who is originally from Great Britain once noticed that Street Names in Uzhur are the mirror of Russian history. Some of them are really hard to translate because it has a lot of context, stories and people's stories and lives in their meaning. So we decided to do the research on our town streets and their names. It is a journey to the past that is inside the present. Do you want to join us? Look at the map of Uzhur!
