Samara Overview
Samara is a city in southwestern Russia, framed by the Volga and
Samara rivers. The central Samara Regional Art Museum, housed in an
ornate mansion, exhibits Russian paintings from the 16th century onward.
Nearby, Stalin’s Bunker, designed in WWII to protect the political
leader, is now a subterranean museum. Farther along the river, Samara
Zoological Park is home to monkeys, jaguars and Nile crocodiles.
