Sign “Arkhangelsk – the city of fishermen” lit in the dark

On the sign "Arkhangelsk - City of Fishermen" in the Varavino-Factoria area, neon lighting was turned on. This was reported by the city administration.

Now the business card of the city is lit in the dark: around the perimeter of the letters mounted more than 180 meters of flexible neon white glow.

The sign appeared in 1984 on the 400th anniversary of Arkhangelsk on Leningradsky Prospekt and became one of the symbols of the city, emphasizing its fishing traditions.

In 2026, the sign was updated. The old letters were dismantled in September, and by the end of October new ones were installed. Letters commissioned by the administration of the district of Varavino-Factoria produced in penal colony No. 1: was cut with plasmorosis, welded, grinded and painted. The inscription was made grammatically correct - added the missing dash. Also added lighting to the sign to please citizens and tourists.
