Because of the World Championship in Samara, it has been prohibited to take pictures from the Copter

Because of the World Championship in Samara, it has been prohibited to take pictures from flying objects. Defenders of city's history are afraid that the remains of the ancient fortress, with which Samara was founded in 1586, can be destroyed.

For many months Samara local historians and simply indifferent inhabitants of this city on the Volga are fighting with officials and businessmen for preserving the remains of an ancient fortress, once built by Prince Grigory Zasekin, the founder of the city.
