Gustav Gasfort was a governor in Omsk. He moved here in 1851 and brought his young wife Lyubov too. Now Lyubochka is one of the biggest symbols of the city. She became a monument, a beautiful city legend and the avenue named after her.
But surprising that she only lived in Omsk for one year! Unfortunately, she died from pneumonia.
When it comes to the legend, it was born in the 70s of the 19th century. When citizens started calling a central grove Lyuba’s. There’s no photos of her saved, so her appearance is a mystery. Steel Lyuba is sitting on the bench on Lenina street.
