  • The city of Samara was officially founded as a fortress in 1586, although there were some settlements in the area prior. Throughout the following centuries, Samara became an increasingly open commercial and industrial center. Samara became the site of fighting during the Russian Revolution, finally falling to the Bolsheviks in 1918. It was rechristened "Kuybyshev" in honor of Valerian Kuybyshev, in 1935. It was designated the alternate capital of the Soviet Union in the event Moscow fell during World War II. In fact, most of the country's government officials were evacuated to Kuybyshev in October, 1941. Moreover, the city's industrial capacity was critical to the USSR's war efforts. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kuybyshev became Samara again.
