On August 22, Interim President of Tatarstan Republic Rustam Minnikhanov took part in the opening ceremony of a new school in Leninogorsk. 

The new educational institution was constructed instead of the former hazardous one. The builing houses 46 classrooms, a psychological release room, a dancing room, an assembly hall for 320 people, a canteen, a modern healthcare center, a sport and recreation ground, and an ice hockey rink. 

“We controlled the construction process of the school. As we see, it perfectly wedded the street. The school should become a leading educational institution in the region as well as the republic.  I also would like to thank oil industry workers for investing significant amount of money to the construction of a new school”, Rustam Minnikhanov said. 

After having looked around  a new school, classrooms and talking to teachers, Rustam Minnikhanov got acquainted with results of capital repair of Palace of Culture in the town. Estimated final cost of a project amounted to 130 million roubles. Palace of Culture, which is architectural heritage, was built in 1964 in historic center of Leninogorsk town.  The Palace is the only place which is suitable for holding public events.  So, the building with surrounding area was repaired. The cinema appeared in the Palace and it has become accessible for people with disabilities and physically challenged people. 

During his working trip, Rustam Minnikhanov visited  the children's in-patient clinic to be opened after reconstruction.
