Pimashkov Petr Aleksandrovich tried every year to make Krasnoyarsk more and more beautiful. Under him, a lot of illumination appeared, exotic trees "grew" in different parts of the city, fountains clogged. Streetsjust shone with bright colors.
The fountains should be mentioned separately. The mayor had some special passion for them. Fountains appeared everywhere. There are more of them than in any other city in Russia.

Peter Ivanovich himself says that he was inspired by one English town, in which, after the war, in order to get rid of devastation, fountains began to be erected everywhere.

The Pimashkov era
The years of Pimashkov's reign are perhaps the most memorable and productive in the history of the cityKrasnoyarsk. He wanted to make the city beautiful, turn it into a real Siberian capital, in which every person of this region wants to live. It was he who first said that Krasnoyarsk needed a metro, under him they began to build it. Unfortunately, this project has been put on hold.
The fountains with which he filled the city give a cheerful mood. He thought it would be an excellent remedy for depression. Schoolchildren no longer hang around idle, but earn money by helping to make the city cleaner. Big Ben pleases the eye.
No Krasnoyarsk citizen can forget the era of Pimashkov Petr Ivanovich.
