Saransk (Russian: Саранск; Moksha: Саранск ошсь, romanized: Saransk oš; Erzya: Саран ош, romanized: Saran oš) is the capital city of the Republic of Mordovia, Russia, as well as its financial and economic centre. It is located in the Volga basin at the confluence of the Saranka and Insar Rivers, about 630 kilometers (390 mi) east of Moscow. Saransk was one of the host cities of the official tournament of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

History[edit]

The Russian fortress Atemar, founded in 1641,^[2] took its name from a nearby Mordvin village; at the time the fortress stood on the southeastern frontier of the Tsardom of Russia. The current name, «Saransk», refers to the city’s situation on the Saranka river. Soon after its founding, the city became an important trade centre for nearby Erzya villagers. After 1708 Saransk was assigned to Azov Province, and later to the Kazan Governorate. In 1780 the settlement was granted town status and was again transferred, this time to the Penza Governorate, which was previously called the Penza Namestnichestvo, but was renamed to Penza Governorate by Paul I in 1796. On 11 October 1797, the Penza Governorate was divided into several governorates, one of which was the Simbirsk Governorate, which was composed of the Saransk and Insar uezds. By the ukaz of Alexander I, the Penza Governorate was re-established and now was divided into 10 uezds.^[13]

In 1928 Saransk was the administrative centre of the newly established Mordvin National Okrug, which became the Mordovian Autonomous Oblast in 1930. In 1941 Saransk was near the front line in the Battle of Moscow, but was never reached by the Wehrmacht. Soviet planners reconstructed the old city centre in the 1960s and 1970s, adding wide streets and planning the construction of massive residential areas.

Administrative and municipal status[edit]

Saransk is the capital of the Mordovian republic.^[8] Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with three work settlements (Lukhovka, Nikolayevka, and Yalga) and thirteen rural localities, incorporated as the city of republic significance of Saransk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.^[1] As a municipal division, the city of republic significance of Saransk is incorporated as Saransk Urban Okrug.^[9]

Climate[edit]

Saransk has a relatively chilly version of the humid continental climate (Köppen: Dfb)^[14] with warm but not hot summers and cold winters, that averages well below freezing for five months of the year. Transition periods are extremely short and only April and October are between 0 °C (32 °F) and 10 °C (50 °F) in mean temperatures.

Industry[edit]

Industrial activity in Saransk includes the production of electrical cables, chemical production, textile manufacturing, food processing, machine building, and metallurgy. The city has two thermal power stations. The city has the confectionery plant Lamzur.

The most notable industrial enterprises include the Lisma Electrical Factory which employs nearly 12,000 people; the Biokhimik pharmaceutical facility; Rezinotekhnika, a rubber products manufacturer; cable manufacturer Saranskkabel; and Elektrovypryamitel, which manufactures electronic components and, on a small scale, television sets.

Demographics[edit]

Saransk is by far the largest city in Mordovia and accounts for 34.3% of the total population of the republic (as of the 2002 Census). Ethnic Russians form the majority of the population (about 85%), and Russian, rather than any of the two co-official Mordvinic languages, is the common language of communication in the city. As with many provincial capitals in Russia, the population of Saransk decreased after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, primarily as a result of economic migration to larger cities, made especially attractive by the downsizing, or outright collapse, of many smaller, regional, industrial enterprises. The population started to grow again in 2009. Population: 297,415 (2010 Census);^[6] 304,866 (2002 Census);^[16] 312,128 (1989 Census).^[17]

Culture and religion[edit]

The Saransk Regional Museum is dedicated primarily to the history of the city, while the Mordovian Museum of Visual Arts has a collection of works by the Russian masters Stepan Erzia and Fedot Sychkov.

The city is home to the Mordovian State University (founded in 1957) as well as several technical colleges.

Saransk has three Orthodox churches and also a small Lutheran church (Finnish Lutheran Church), which was opened in 2005. There are also three mosques. The main cathedral in Saransk is the Cathedral of St. Theodore Ushakov, the construction of which was completed in 2006.

Mordovia Yaushev State Music Theater in Saransk, the capital of Mordovia. It was founded in 1932 by Moscow Academy of Maly Theatre . Initially the theatre performed Russian classics, translated into the Mordovian languages, but later they began to adapt the drama works of national authors for the stage.

Saransk has several theatres, including:

• The State Russian Drama Theatre, opened on 25 August 1932 and initially called the Mordovian National Theatre
• The Opera and Ballet Theater, opened on 9 September 2011
• The State Puppet Theater of the Republic of Mordovia
• The Mordovia National Drama Theatre, opened in 1932 by the Moscow Academy of Maly Theatre

Sport[edit]

Saransk is a major sports center of the Volga region. The city has several large sports facilities, such as the Republican Palace of Sports, Ice Palace, Mordovia Sports Complex, Leonid Arkaev Gymnastics Center, various sports and fitness clubs and gyms. The city territory accommodates two large stadiums: Start and Mordovia Arena.

Mordovia has extensive experience as a host to federal and international sporting events. In 2012, Saransk hosted the IAAF World Race Walking Cup, while the city’s FC Mordovia Saransk played three seasons in the Russian Premier League against the country’s leading football clubs.

In 2016, Mordovia was named the most athletic region in the country. The number of locals engaged in regular sports activities is growing and is as of today at 36%. There are over 2100 sports facilities in Saransk. Those include:

• Mordovia Arena stadium. A stadium that hosted the group matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup
• Athletics Sports School for Olympic Reserve
• Mordovia Sports Complex
• Ice Palace of the Republic of Mordovia
• Palace of Sports
• Olimp Sports Complex

Cityscape and architecture[edit]

The city has a large number of buildings remaining from the 17th and 18th centuries; however, many parts of the town are dominated by Soviet era apartment blocks, dating mainly from the 1960s, similar to other provincial towns which expanded rapidly due to fast industrialization. These buildings are nearing the end of their service life and are in need of serious repair and, in many cases, replacement. Industrial enterprises are mainly located to the north of the town center. The eastern part of Saransk, located east of the Insar River, is Posop. An interesting detail is the Soviet era military base, belonging to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is located along the railway lines and serves of a time when Saransk was, effectively, a closed city. Another city landmark is the Saransk TV Tower – a 180-meter-tall guyed tubular steel mast built in 1961.

As in any other city, Saransk has many monuments. These are some of them:

• Monument to Sts. Cyril and Methodius
• Monument to Patriarch Nikon
• Monument to Pugachev
• The Monument of Eternal glory
• Monument to Pushkin
• Monument to Polezhaev
• Monument to Heroes-stratonauts
• Monument of The Plane
• Family Monument

The Family Monument is one of the most noteworthy monuments in Saransk. It lies in the center of the city, near the Cathedral of St. Feodor Ushakov, at the crossroads of Sovietskaya and the Democraticheskaya streets. It was opened in 2008, which was declared the Year of Family in Russia. The author of the monument is sculptor Nikolai Filatov. This monument is a symbol of absolute family values, the true foundation of society. The sculpture depicts a life-size large family; the husband with a little child on his shoulders, his pregnant wife, the mother of the children and two more children, holding on to their parents.

Transportation[edit]

The municipal transit system of Saransk consists primarily of a network of bus and trolleybus lines.

Saransk I railway station is a station on the Kuybyshev Railway. The city has additional stations serving regional railways to Ruzayevka and Krasny Uzel. Formerly, Saransk was also served by two daily Penza–Nizhny Novgorod passenger trains, carrying passengers from nearby villages mainly to either Ruzayevka junction station and Penza or to Arzamas and Nizhny Novgorod.

There is a daily direct train service with Moscow.

The city is served by the small Saransk Airport (IATA: SKX, ICAO: UWPS) southeast of downtown. It is served primarily by small regional carriers; the most common aircraft is the An-24. There are scheduled flights to and from Moscow’s Domodedovo airport on weekdays. Saransk is also home to the Lyambir airforce base.

Airport[edit]

Saransk is serviced by one international federal airport, the Saransk Airport (IATA: SKX, ICAO: UWPS).
In January 2017, the airport was closed for renovation until the end of the year, as Saransk was chosen to serve as a host city to matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. After the renovation, the Airport’s runway has been reinforced with asphalt concrete. The airport was expanded with a new permanent terminal with a passenger capacity of 300 people per hour for domestic flights (600 people per hour during the 2018 FIFA World Cup) and a temporary terminal for international flights with a passenger capacity of 360 people per hour.
The airport has been cleared to service Boeing 737 CLNG and Airbus A-319320321.
In 2018, the airport received its first scheduled flight after the renovation.
The international terminal of the Saransk Airport can be reached by car, public transport, or taxi.

Bus service[edit]

The airport is linked to the city center by bus No.29. Time of departure from the airport: 07.50; 09.30; 11.20; 12.50; 17.45; 19.45; 23.10.
During the game days of the FIFA World Cup, public transportation services for fans will be free of charge.
Official shuttles will be running the route from the airport to the Fan Fest venue (Ice Palace).

Private vehicles[edit]

The new terminal has two parking lots. Subject to space availability, a free parking area can be used.^[19]

City transport[edit]

The city of Saransk is serviced by trolleybuses, buses and taxi buses.
Trolleybus transportation has existed in the city since 1966 and provides a reliable link to all districts of Saransk.
In preparation of the city to the FIFA World Cup, Saransk has upgraded its park of municipal buses and trolleybuses.
Taxi buses are operated by private transportation service providers using Russia-made PAZ and GAZ and foreign-made buses. Waiting intervals for some bus routes is 2–3 minutes (during rush hours).^[20]

Automobile transport[edit]

In preparation for the FIFA World Cup, Saransk has been linked to the airport by a new road; the construction of a new road junction providing access to the airport is currently in progress. The length of the new road to the airport is 3.5 km. The road was partially reconstructed and partially built anew. The total length of the road around Saransk is 17.5 km. The road has two lanes and includes three road junctions, five bridges and four overpasses. The road was built to reduce the traffic in the city center and link the federal highway to regional roads.^[21]

International relations[edit]

Saransk is twinned with:^[22]

Notable people[edit]

• Mikhail Bakhtin who lived and taught in Saransk between 1949 and 1969. A monument to Bakhtin unveiled in 2015 in the city.

History of Saransk

Foundation of Saransk

Saransk was founded as a small wooden fortress on the bank of the Saranka River on the southeastern outskirts of the Tsardom of Russia in 1641. It was one of the many fortresses that served to protect against the raids of nomads from the Crimea and the Black Sea region. The fortress was called Saransky Ostrozhek.

The earliest description of the fortress dates back to 1703. It was almost square in shape with walls made of oak logs. In the corners there were four hexagonal towers up to 16 meters high, up to 8 meters in diameter, with platforms for cannons. Four more square towers were located in the middle of the walls.

The ninth tower stood in the center of the fortress and was used to store ammunition. On all sides, the fortress was surrounded by an earthen rampart and ditches. The Crimean-Kazan road ran through the northern and southern towers. Outside the fortress, around it, there were several villages.

The first residents of the fortress were Cossacks, firearm soldiers and gunners transferred to it from nearby towns, as well as the population of nearby villages. By the end of the 17th century, its population was about 4 thousand people.

Saransk — Features

Saransk is one of the oldest Russian cities in the Middle Volga region. The City Day of Saransk is celebrated on June 12. The main industrial sectors in Saransk are lighting and electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and metalworking, the production of medicines, and the food industry.

The exact meaning of the symbols of the coat of arms of Saransk approved in 1781 remains unknown. According to the most widespread opinion, its composition could symbolize the main occupation of the indigenous Finno-Ugric peoples — fox hunting. Today, the image of a red fox is widely used as a symbol of Saransk.

The climate of the city is moderately continental, characterized by relatively cold, frosty winters and moderately hot summers. The average temperature in January is minus 9.6 degrees Celsius, in July — plus 19.9 degrees Celsius.

The airport of Saransk offers regular flights to Krasnodar, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi. The branded train “Mordovia” runs from Saransk to Moscow every day. From Saransk on passing trains you can go to St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Novorossiysk, Samara, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, and other cities. Public transport is represented by buses, trolleybuses, minibuses, and taxis.

Saransk is the capital of the national republic. As of January 1, 2010, Russians accounted for 70.7% of the population, Mordovians — 21.8%, Tatars — 4.8%, Ukrainians — 0.7%, Armenians — 0.2%, Belarusians — 0.2%, Chuvash — 0.1%, other nationalities — 1.5%. The Mordovians include the Finno-Ugric peoples Erzya and Moksha. They speak different languages ??and have different cultural customs.

Mordovian languages ??are taught in local schools and universities, programs in Erzyan and Mokshan can be seen on local television, newspapers are published in these languages. Street name plates and other city navigation are in three languages: Russian, Erzya and Moksha. But in Saransk, few people can speak them.

There are no especially old sights in Saransk. Once entirely wooden, in Soviet times, the city was completely rebuilt.

Main Attractions of Saransk

Cathedral of St. Fyodor Ushakov (2002-2006) — the largest Orthodox church in Saransk built in the Empire style with a neo-Byzantine dome and located on Sobornaya Square (the main square of the city). The height of this magnificent building is 60 meters. Inside you can see a beautiful gilded iconostasis.

Millennium Square. This square appeared in Saransk in 2012 as part of the celebration of the fact that the first Slavic settlers reached the Mordovian lands at the end of the 1st millennium AD. Since that time, the history of coexistence of the Russian and Mordovian peoples began. This large square is perfectly suited for walking and organizing public events.

The main attraction of the square is the color and music fountain “Star of Mordovia” — one of the largest and most majestic fountains in Russia. It is made in the form of a national Mordovian ornament — an eight-pointed star.

Mordovian Erzia Museum of Visual Arts. The world’s largest collection of works by the outstanding 20th century sculptor Stepan Dmitrievich Erzia (more than 200 works) is exhibited here. The museum presents collections of works of all major types of art: painting, graphics, sculpture. Collections of works of Russian art of the 18th-19th centuries, modern Russian art, Mordovian folk and decorative-applied art are also on display here. Kommunisticheskaya Street, 61.

Mordovian Republican Museum of Local Lore named after I.D.Voronin. The numerous collections of this museum are located in several branches. One of the largest branches is located in a new building constructed in the 2000s and resembling a classic 19th century palace.

In total, there are more than 200 thousand exhibits — household items, tools, weapons, national clothes, decorative and applied arts, old books and historical documents, a numismatic collection, as well as paleontological, botanical, entomological collections, stuffed animals and birds, etc. The permanent exhibition includes 3 departments: the history of Mordovia until 1917, the modern history of Mordovia, and the nature of Mordovia. Saranskaya Ulitsa, 2.

Museum of Mordovian Folk Culture. The building of this museum is a monument of urban architecture of the early 20th century. There are more than 3.5 thousand exhibits: Mordovian national clothes, household items, agricultural tools, icons, wooden sculptures, books, and photographs.

There are several thematic halls in which visitors can see exhibits dedicated to seasonal rituals of the Mordovians, Mordovian holidays, wedding customs, the life of Mordovian women, life and raising children in a Mordovian village. The exhibition hall of the museum regularly hosts exhibitions of works of Mordovian artists and handicrafts. Sovetskaya Street, 19.

Museum of Military and Labor Feat. The collection of this museum is part of the memorial complex created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the victory in World War II in 1995. The museum building is quite unusual — its facade is composed of multi-colored granite slabs in the colors of the St. George ribbon, the shape of the building resembles the outlines of the borders of Mordovia. The exposition is located in four halls, next to it there is an open area with an exhibition of military equipment. Sovetskaya Street, 34?.

Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker — a late 19th century church built in an architectural style that imitates classical Russian architecture. The facade and walls are made of red bricks. In Soviet times, the church was not used for its intended purpose, but its appearance did not suffer from this at all. The building has survived to this day in its original form. In 1990, it was returned to the believers. Volgogradskaya Street, 90.

Church of St. John the Theologian (1693) — the oldest building in Mordovia, an architectural monument of federal significance. It was rebuilt several times, but insignificantly, and in general it retained the same look that was given to it during the construction. Demokraticheskaya Street, 28.

Recreation park named after A.S. Pushkin. This park was founded in the 19th century, when the first trees were planted in one of the city squares around the church. The current territory of the park is about 40 hectares. In recent years, new rides have appeared here, and a boat and catamarans rental station has been opened on the bank of the river. On the territory of the park there is a city zoo, a Ferris wheel, a monument to Fyodor Ushakov, a hotel, a flower calendar, and a live green portrait of Pushkin. Moskovskaya Street.

Saransk (Russian: Саранск; Moksha: Саранск ошсь, romanized: Saransk oš; Erzya: Саран ош, romanized: Saran oš) is the capital city of the Republic of Mordovia, Russia, as well as its financial and economic centre. It is located in the Volga basin at the confluence of the Saranka and Insar Rivers, about 630 kilometers (390 mi) east of Moscow. Saransk was one of the host cities of the official tournament of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

History[edit]

The Russian fortress Atemar, founded in 1641,^[2] took its name from a nearby Mordvin village; at the time the fortress stood on the southeastern frontier of the Tsardom of Russia. The current name, «Saransk», refers to the city’s situation on the Saranka river. Soon after its founding, the city became an important trade centre for nearby Erzya villagers. After 1708 Saransk was assigned to Azov Province, and later to the Kazan Governorate. In 1780 the settlement was granted town status and was again transferred, this time to the Penza Governorate, which was previously called the Penza Namestnichestvo, but was renamed to Penza Governorate by Paul I in 1796. On 11 October 1797, the Penza Governorate was divided into several governorates, one of which was the Simbirsk Governorate, which was composed of the Saransk and Insar uezds. By the ukaz of Alexander I, the Penza Governorate was re-established and now was divided into 10 uezds.^[13]

In 1928 Saransk was the administrative centre of the newly established Mordvin National Okrug, which became the Mordovian Autonomous Oblast in 1930. In 1941 Saransk was near the front line in the Battle of Moscow, but was never reached by the Wehrmacht. Soviet planners reconstructed the old city centre in the 1960s and 1970s, adding wide streets and planning the construction of massive residential areas.

Administrative and municipal status[edit]

Saransk is the capital of the Mordovian republic.^[8] Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with three work settlements (Lukhovka, Nikolayevka, and Yalga) and thirteen rural localities, incorporated as the city of republic significance of Saransk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.^[1] As a municipal division, the city of republic significance of Saransk is incorporated as Saransk Urban Okrug.^[9]

Climate[edit]

Saransk has a relatively chilly version of the humid continental climate (Köppen: Dfb)^[14] with warm but not hot summers and cold winters, that averages well below freezing for five months of the year. Transition periods are extremely short and only April and October are between 0 °C (32 °F) and 10 °C (50 °F) in mean temperatures.

Industry[edit]

Industrial activity in Saransk includes the production of electrical cables, chemical production, textile manufacturing, food processing, machine building, and metallurgy. The city has two thermal power stations. The city has the confectionery plant Lamzur.

The most notable industrial enterprises include the Lisma Electrical Factory which employs nearly 12,000 people; the Biokhimik pharmaceutical facility; Rezinotekhnika, a rubber products manufacturer; cable manufacturer Saranskkabel; and Elektrovypryamitel, which manufactures electronic components and, on a small scale, television sets.

Demographics[edit]

Saransk is by far the largest city in Mordovia and accounts for 34.3% of the total population of the republic (as of the 2002 Census). Ethnic Russians form the majority of the population (about 85%), and Russian, rather than any of the two co-official Mordvinic languages, is the common language of communication in the city. As with many provincial capitals in Russia, the population of Saransk decreased after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, primarily as a result of economic migration to larger cities, made especially attractive by the downsizing, or outright collapse, of many smaller, regional, industrial enterprises. The population started to grow again in 2009. Population: 297,415 (2010 Census);^[6] 304,866 (2002 Census);^[16] 312,128 (1989 Census).^[17]

Culture and religion[edit]

The Saransk Regional Museum is dedicated primarily to the history of the city, while the Mordovian Museum of Visual Arts has a collection of works by the Russian masters Stepan Erzia and Fedot Sychkov.

The city is home to the Mordovian State University (founded in 1957) as well as several technical colleges.

Saransk has three Orthodox churches and also a small Lutheran church (Finnish Lutheran Church), which was opened in 2005. There are also three mosques. The main cathedral in Saransk is the Cathedral of St. Theodore Ushakov, the construction of which was completed in 2006.

Mordovia Yaushev State Music Theater in Saransk, the capital of Mordovia. It was founded in 1932 by Moscow Academy of Maly Theatre . Initially the theatre performed Russian classics, translated into the Mordovian languages, but later they began to adapt the drama works of national authors for the stage.

Saransk has several theatres, including:

• The State Russian Drama Theatre, opened on 25 August 1932 and initially called the Mordovian National Theatre
• The Opera and Ballet Theater, opened on 9 September 2011
• The State Puppet Theater of the Republic of Mordovia
• The Mordovia National Drama Theatre, opened in 1932 by the Moscow Academy of Maly Theatre

Sport[edit]

Saransk is a major sports center of the Volga region. The city has several large sports facilities, such as the Republican Palace of Sports, Ice Palace, Mordovia Sports Complex, Leonid Arkaev Gymnastics Center, various sports and fitness clubs and gyms. The city territory accommodates two large stadiums: Start and Mordovia Arena.

Mordovia has extensive experience as a host to federal and international sporting events. In 2012, Saransk hosted the IAAF World Race Walking Cup, while the city’s FC Mordovia Saransk played three seasons in the Russian Premier League against the country’s leading football clubs.

In 2016, Mordovia was named the most athletic region in the country. The number of locals engaged in regular sports activities is growing and is as of today at 36%. There are over 2100 sports facilities in Saransk. Those include:

Cityscape and architecture[edit]

The city has a large number of buildings remaining from the 17th and 18th centuries; however, many parts of the town are dominated by Soviet era apartment blocks, dating mainly from the 1960s, similar to other provincial towns which expanded rapidly due to fast industrialization. These buildings are nearing the end of their service life and are in need of serious repair and, in many cases, replacement. Industrial enterprises are mainly located to the north of the town center. The eastern part of Saransk, located east of the Insar River, is Posop. An interesting detail is the Soviet era military base, belonging to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is located along the railway lines and serves of a time when Saransk was, effectively, a closed city. Another city landmark is the Saransk TV Tower – a 180-meter-tall guyed tubular steel mast built in 1961.

As in any other city, Saransk has many monuments. These are some of them:

• Monument to Sts. Cyril and Methodius
• Monument to Patriarch Nikon
• Monument to Pugachev
• The Monument of Eternal glory
• Monument to Pushkin
• Monument to Polezhaev
• Monument to Heroes-stratonauts
• Monument of The Plane
• Family Monument

The Family Monument is one of the most noteworthy monuments in Saransk. It lies in the center of the city, near the Cathedral of St. Feodor Ushakov, at the crossroads of Sovietskaya and the Democraticheskaya streets. It was opened in 2008, which was declared the Year of Family in Russia. The author of the monument is sculptor Nikolai Filatov. This monument is a symbol of absolute family values, the true foundation of society. The sculpture depicts a life-size large family; the husband with a little child on his shoulders, his pregnant wife, the mother of the children and two more children, holding on to their parents.

Transportation[edit]

The municipal transit system of Saransk consists primarily of a network of bus and trolleybus lines.

Saransk I railway station is a station on the Kuybyshev Railway. The city has additional stations serving regional railways to Ruzayevka and Krasny Uzel. Formerly, Saransk was also served by two daily Penza–Nizhny Novgorod passenger trains, carrying passengers from nearby villages mainly to either Ruzayevka junction station and Penza or to Arzamas and Nizhny Novgorod.

There is a daily direct train service with Moscow.

The city is served by the small Saransk Airport (IATA: SKX, ICAO: UWPS) southeast of downtown. It is served primarily by small regional carriers; the most common aircraft is the An-24. There are scheduled flights to and from Moscow’s Domodedovo airport on weekdays. Saransk is also home to the Lyambir airforce base.

Airport[edit]

Saransk is serviced by one international federal airport, the Saransk Airport (IATA: SKX, ICAO: UWPS).
In January 2017, the airport was closed for renovation until the end of the year, as Saransk was chosen to serve as a host city to matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. After the renovation, the Airport’s runway has been reinforced with asphalt concrete. The airport was expanded with a new permanent terminal with a passenger capacity of 300 people per hour for domestic flights (600 people per hour during the 2018 FIFA World Cup) and a temporary terminal for international flights with a passenger capacity of 360 people per hour.
The airport has been cleared to service Boeing 737 CLNG and Airbus A-319320321.
In 2018, the airport received its first scheduled flight after the renovation.
The international terminal of the Saransk Airport can be reached by car, public transport, or taxi.

Bus service[edit]

The airport is linked to the city center by bus No.29. Time of departure from the airport: 07.50; 09.30; 11.20; 12.50; 17.45; 19.45; 23.10.
During the game days of the FIFA World Cup, public transportation services for fans will be free of charge.
Official shuttles will be running the route from the airport to the Fan Fest venue (Ice Palace).

Private vehicles[edit]

The new terminal has two parking lots. Subject to space availability, a free parking area can be used.^[19]

City transport[edit]

The city of Saransk is serviced by trolleybuses, buses and taxi buses.
Trolleybus transportation has existed in the city since 1966 and provides a reliable link to all districts of Saransk.
In preparation of the city to the FIFA World Cup, Saransk has upgraded its park of municipal buses and trolleybuses.
Taxi buses are operated by private transportation service providers using Russia-made PAZ and GAZ and foreign-made buses. Waiting intervals for some bus routes is 2–3 minutes (during rush hours).^[20]

Automobile transport[edit]

In preparation for the FIFA World Cup, Saransk has been linked to the airport by a new road; the construction of a new road junction providing access to the airport is currently in progress. The length of the new road to the airport is 3.5 km. The road was partially reconstructed and partially built anew. The total length of the road around Saransk is 17.5 km. The road has two lanes and includes three road junctions, five bridges and four overpasses. The road was built to reduce the traffic in the city center and link the federal highway to regional roads.^[21]

International relations[edit]

Saransk is twinned with:^[22]

Notable people[edit]

Saransk (Russian: Саранск; Moksha: Саранск ошсь, romanized: Saransk oš; Erzya: Саран ош, romanized: Saran oš) is the capital city of the Republic of Mordovia, Russia, as well as its financial and economic centre.
