In Soviet times, this area was exclusively agricultural and developed thanks to the existing collective farms, the legacy of which is still used by Russian farmers. There was also production in the region, but during the formation of a market economy, all of them went bankrupt and closed safely.
Today, the region's economy is driven by small businesses in the form of a building materials factory, soft drinks, and a few service companies.

How to get there
Earlier, a large railway interchange Voronezh-Lugansk passed through the regional center. With the aggravation of relations between neighboring states, it was decided to build new routes, bypassing the Ukrainian territory. Since then, the line in Kantemirovka, Voronezh Region, has gradually begun to die. In 2017, trains from Voronezh were very rare, and now it is almost impossible to buy tickets. It is possible that this section of the railway was closed permanently (it was planned to stop operation in 2018).
Regular buses go to Kantemirovka, Voronezh Region, from the central bus station. Departure takes place twice a day (8.45 and 14.45). It is better to check operational information before traveling or buying tickets.
Travel time will be slightlymore than 6 hours, and the ticket price is 650 rubles.
With your own car, you can get there in a little more than 3 hours. The road will be of high quality, but not the easiest. There are speed cameras every few kilometers, so you won't be able to accelerate.
If you go through the search for fellow travelers, you can save time and money. The average cost of a trip from Voronezh to Kantemirovka is 450 rubles. Thus, you save 200 rubles and 3 hours of precious time. Of course, this activity is not for everyone, but for experienced travelers, hitchhiking is the ideal way to get around.
What to see
Kantemirovka of the Voronezh region is a typical provincial town. It is impossible to find something outstanding here, but you can find a list of attractions that are characteristic of almost every Russian settlement.
Here is:
- V. I. Lenin Square;
- stele-monument in honor of the victory in the Great Patriotic War;
- monument to the T-34 tank;
- memorial "Kantemirovsky breakthrough", dedicated to the military operation of the Second World War;
- an open-air museum founded by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation;
- Orthodox churches built in the distant 1960s;
- a monument to the T-74 tractor, erected in gratitude for the work of collective farmers who gave many years of their lives for the well-being of the region.
Kantemirovka is an excellent recreational area. Here you can find an old pond with a beach, as well as wander along eco-paths that are not popular with locals.
Besides, some ancient architecture (three buildings) has been preserved here. The photo of Kantemirovka in the Voronezh region in 99 cases out of 100 is an image of the station, which miraculously survived from the 18th century. The parish government and the vocational school, built in the middle of the 19th century, have also been preserved.
In general, this is an ordinary provincial town. The young population is leaving here, and the lack of big business deprives the area of serious investments. What will happen to him next? This is yet to be seen.
