Tolyatti, Industrial metropolis on Volga River in Samara Oblast, Russia

Located 60 kilometers northeast of Samara, Tolyatti extends across three principal districts: Avtozavodsky, Tsentralny, and Komsomolsky, each with distinct urban characteristics.

The original settlement, established in 1737 by Vasily Tatishchev as Stavropol, relocated entirely in the 1950s due to the construction of Kuybyshev Dam.

The city maintains educational facilities including Togliatti State University, multiple theaters, museums, and research centers that support intellectual and artistic development.

AvtoVAZ automobile factory, producer of Lada vehicles, employs thousands of residents and operates extensive manufacturing facilities throughout the northern section.

Following the flooding of its original location, Tolyatti became the first city in Russian history to completely transfer its entire population to a new site.
