The city of Sochi, unique in its nature, is considered the summer capital of Russia. After all, this is the largest mountain climatic resort in the world in terms of its length. There is no place in Russia that can be compared with Sochi in terms of natural conditions. Their uniqueness lies in the location in the city of all climatic zones.
Tender sea and picturesque nature, Matsesta springs and mild subtropical climate… All these conditions are perfect for rehabilitation and strengthening of people's he alth. Not without reason in the list, which includes military sanatoriums of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, "Sochi" is considered one of the best.
History of Creation
The military sanatorium "Sochi" is not only one of the oldest, but also one of the largest medical institutions of this type in the city. The territory of the he alth resort is a unique medical arboretum, the area of which is 30 hectares. The military sanatorium "Sochi" is located near the gentle waves of the Black Sea. The distance from its buildings to the beach is only 200 m.
Earlier, the he alth resort was called "Sochi Central Military Sanatorium Voroshilov". It has not been forgotten even today.
From the 30s of the 20th century, mass construction of new he alth resorts began in Sochi. One of them was a sanatorium, which is in the department of the People's Commissariat of Defense. It was erected on the site of the southwestern slope of Mount Bytkhi. Not far from this territory there was a road leading to Matsesta.
In order to create the Sochi military sanatorium Voroshilov, the builders cleared an area of 80 hectares. This territory stretched in a wide strip from the sea and climbed the steep slope of the mountain to a height of 280 m.
The construction of the he alth resort was started in 1932. The project of the architect M. I. Merzhanova. However, the work was greatly hampered by the mountain-forest terrain and the need for anti-landslide measures. However, despite all these difficulties, the operation of the sanatorium began in May 1934. Along with the buildings, the current military sanatorium "Sochi" acquired a short railway. This is the so-called funicular, through which vacationers in trailers reach the beach in just a few minutes.
Building a park
But the arrangement of the sanatorium did not end there. The People's Commissariat of Defense announced a competition for the best design of a park adjacent to the he alth resort. The jury recognized the work of Yuri Terentyevich Shinkevich as the best. Later, this agronomist from Taman was himself sent to Sochi to bring his project to life. The result of the work was a magnificent park. Planted on its territoryabout 77 thousand shrubs and trees, 35 thousand of which were evergreen deciduous, and 11 thousand were palms and bamboos. 20 thousand rose bushes, as well as a myriad of other annual and perennial flowers, became a real decoration of the park. Each of these plants has found its place. It was planted exactly where Shinkevich designed it. After all, the main idea of the author of the subtropical medical sanatorium park was to create comfortable conditions for vacationers.
Each of them had to find here shade and coolness in summer, as well as the maximum amount of sun and light in winter. To do this, Shinkevich provided for a strict alternation of shady areas. The buildings at the disposal of the military sanatorium "Sochi" are located in the center of the park in a strict symmetrical order. The areas of the forest area, located along the perimeter, consist mainly of eucalyptus and camphor noble laurel. This landing was not accidental. These plants, better than any other, contribute to the absorption of harmful gases, while saturating the air with healing balsamic substances. The upper part of the park is designed for long walks.
Further work of the he alth resort
Since the day of its opening, the current military sanatorium "Sochi" has not stopped accepting employees of the Ministry of Defense and their families. The he alth resort was so popular that it was decided to expand it. And in 1976, another dormitory building was built. Builders and designersof this building, which is listed under number 7 in the sanatorium complex, became applicants for the State Prize. This is the architect E. M. Shikina and designer E. G. Karpov, Honored Builder of the Country N. N. Snitko, who led the construction of the building, and others.
What is the merit of all these people? The architects used the terrain very successfully. They placed the body on a hillock. He was surrounded by stormy subtropical greenery. Viewed from Kurortny Prospekt, located at the foot of the slope, building No. 7 looks like a huge ocean liner. It seems that he literally cuts through the green expanse with his powerful chest.
Sochi Central Military Sanatorium got another building in 1984. It was then that the newest medical building was put into operation. It was equipped with the most modern equipment. They opened a dental department and a modern laboratory, a water and mud clinic.
