The central square of Lenin in Ufa with a monument to the leader of the world proletariat and spiry fir-trees around the perimeter looks like a bit old-fashioned, but this is an illusion. It is here that the cultural life of the Bashkir capital is concentrated: next to the square there is the M. Gafuri Central Park of Culture and Recreation, the Ufa Planetarium, the «Magic World» entertainment center for children and adults, Bashkortostan State Academic Russian Drama Theatre, several beautiful parks and public gardens.
In winter a skating ring is organized in the Lenin's Square and the New Year Tree is always set here and decorated, and in summer the square is used for the in-line skating. All major festivities take place here during the celebration of the New Year, Victory Day, Defender of the Fatherland Day and other holidays. And in the kiosks on the square they sell delicious stuffed pancakes, which one definitely needs to taste!
