The famous place was founded in 1889 by a young naturalist S.A. Stroganov. He brought Arabian horses from the Middle East to Russia, where he could not find a place for stables for a long time. After a long search, Stroganov placed his horses in the vicinity of the city of Mineralnye Vody, since the climate is ideal for the existence of horses.
In the 20th century, Stroganov left Russia forever and went to permanent residence in France. His place was taken by S.M. Budyonny, who organized auctions for the sale of horses.

Tourists and vacationers most often do not see Mineralnye Vody.
Yes, there is an airport and a railway station, but in fact, the city is just a major transport hub to a place of rest. However, there is something to see here.
1. I spent less than a day in the city, having time to look at everything. I'll show it to you too.
Here I met a rare monument for the inhabitants of Central Russia to the hero of the Caucasian War Yermolov.
An extraordinary military leader who pacified the Caucasus is held in high esteem here.
2. All popular public places of the city in the center.
As are the hotels. Convenient and close.
3. There is also a city park with an Eternal Flame.
It is gratifying that the fire burns here not only on weekends, as in some cities of our Motherland.
4. The park itself is quite depressing.
Probably because it's out of season. Although most of the awkward rides have been here since Soviet times.
5. The cracked bust of Karl Marx also reminds of its former greatness.
I wonder if modern schoolchildren know who it is?
The city has a large station and depot, so the railway workers have their own personal palace of culture.
6. Behind a sad park is a very sad stadium.
Judging by the commentator's booth and obscene inscriptions, its main visitors are now children of a narrow mind.
7. I hope that at least occasionally someone plays football here.
8. Local meaningful graffiti.
Police. A huge building for the city with dozens of departmental cars will also be attributed to the sights.
Security is a must here.
10. Meanwhile, the quarter around is modest.
Accidentally stumbled upon Pushkin Square.
Our everything, three times rested on the Caucasian Mineralnye Vody and it is quite possible that I have been here once.
11. In a small square near the city college, the Church of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos grew.
I will tell you separately about this temple and the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, which is in the main photo and about the people who met me there.
12. The temple is beautiful. And it is doubly pleasant that it is not forbidden to play sports nearby.
The watchman carefully asked who I was and where I came from, and said that this was the coolest educational institution in the city.
14. No doubt.
One story of these buildings is worth something. Here, by the way, railroad workers were once taught.
15. Well, the station itself.
He is good. It was erected in 1957, but the former one, which had been standing here since the middle of the 19th century, was destroyed by the Nazis during the bombing.
16. Inside, no one forbids filming.
17. The proud eagle on the top of the Caucasus shines even in bad weather.
18. Station Square is quite crowded.
There are a lot of stalls of mobile operators, souvenir shops and dubious cafes.
And also an incredibly sad monument to those who died during the Great Patriotic War.
There is a beautiful memorial "Fire of Eternal Glory" in the city. Unfortunately, I didn't get to it this time.
19. Along the main avenue - im.22 Party Congress, you can come to another monument.
20. Here is a fairly large intersection with the main administrative buildings and rich shops.
21. If you go away from the main avenue, you can walk to that depressing amusement park.
22. Well, or to the main city building with columns - the administration.
23. Well, if you move from the center, then among dozens of stores you can find just such a pearl.
Cool, by the way, modern Hollywood.
An interesting time connection...
24. Passenger liners periodically fly over the city - the airport is only 4 kilometers away.
And in a small back street, the MiG-15 landed forever.
25. However, it asks for heaven.
It's amazing, by the way, how the handsome man holds himself.
26. Another piece of military equipment on the pedestal is a Soviet tank. T-34, of course.
It's also taking off.
Memorials are well maintained with flowers. It's fine.
27. And again a sad monument.
A huge memorial complex to the victims of the wars in Afghanistan, Chechnya and the liquidators of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
