In 2021 another park for residents and guests of the village with a musical fountain in the center was constructed. The repertoire includes compositions from classical to modern, and water jets are able to ‘dance’ in tempo music.
The Church of the Holy Martyr John the Warrior was built with Company funds. Today it is considered to be one of the most beautiful churches in Volgograd Region. The church was painted by craftsmen from Paleh, whose craftsmanship is known throughout the Orthodox world. Famous historical events whose heroes for centuries have kept their names in the Orthodox faith are on the walls of the church. The faces of all the saints were painted with special paints made according to ancient recipes with eggshell and braid gold.
With the help of VR technology one can go on an online tour of the church, learn about the history of its foundation, climb the bell tower to hear the sound of 18 powerful bells and enjoy the beauty of the village.
There is an excellent telephone and internet line in ‘Sady Pridonia’. More than 6,000 sq.m. of housing in the form of townhouses and apartment buildings were built for young professionals and their families.

A children center ‘Zhar-Ptitsa’ has been constructed in ‘Sady Pridonia’, where children from two years old are waiting for classes in the swimming pool, gym, robotics room, creative workshop, agricultural class, and other activities. The center also functions as a kindergarten, which provides for 4 age groups, and the day regime of the kids includes classes in creative classes, swimming pool and even massage. All necessary administrative and commercial premises are also located in a separate unit of the children centre. The main feature of the design is a large-scale mosaic panel ‘Firebird and young apples’ 12 meters high and 17 meters long. The plot was developed in the creative workshop of the famous artist Zurab Tsereteli, which is based on a story about young apples protected by the firebirds. The area of the children center covers about 10 thousand sq. meters.
A unique sculpture of a crystal apple of 3.76 m x 4 m in size was installed near the territory of ‘Zhar-Ptitsa’ centre in the Central Square of the ‘Sady Pridonia’ village in 2024. The great artist and sculptor Zurab Tsereteli was the author of the works and inspiration. The peculiarity of the monument is that it is made of colored crystal using the stained glass technique. The ‘Apple of Life’ has already become a cultural heritage of the Volgograd Region, which residents of the region and neighboring regions come to see.
For more than 25 years the Company has been supporting and developing thoroughbred horse breeding; a whole division, a stud farm, has been successfully operating at the enterprise. In order to create the most favorable conditions for thoroughbred horses a new stable and riding arena were constructed. Particular attention was paid to the arrangement of paddocks, occupying 12 hectares. They were equipped with bottom irrigation systems and crop rotation was organized. As a result nowadays horses have the opportunity to be on pasture for most of the year, from April to November.
In addition there is a dirt racing circle next to the stable. The track length (1600 m) and width (20 m) allows horses to be fully prepared for performances at hippodromes. In 2021 the Company signed an agreement with the Central Moscow Hippodrome for long-term sponsorship of the country's main race for thoroughbred horses, the Grand All-Russian Derby Prize. Now this prize is named after ‘Sady Pridonia’.
Russian horse breeding is currently going through hard times, so it needs support and large financial investments more than ever. Andrey Samokhin, President of the Company ‘Sady Pridonia’.
The main goal of the Company is to develop the social infrastructure of the village, improve the quality of life of employees in parallel with the development of production.
