New Year Lemayev Square is one of the most photographed places in Nizhnekamsk

A huge tree, a number of LED garlands and a gigantic New Year tree ball– this year TAIF-NK decorated the N. Lemayev Square in the best New Year tradition. A 16-metre fir adorned in blue and white colours and hundreds of garlands was installed here. Lights on the festive tree gleam so that there is a feeling of puffy branches shining in the frost. To create an atmosphere of a fairy tale, tens of live firs were adorned with LED garlands, northern deer, and white bears ''settled in'' next to them.

TAIF-NK PJSC has been transforming the N. Lemayev Square before New Year for over tens of years. For the first time the park was adorned in 2007 installing a miniature of the Spass Tower of the Kazan Kremlin. It's become a distinctive feature of the oil refinery to use original elements when adorning the park since then. An Eiffel tower was built here in 2008, a Pisa tower appeared one year later. A Big Ban arose here in 2010, the following year a medieval fairy-tale castle was erected. In 2012, specialists built Kazakhstan's national monument Bayterek in the Nizhnekamsk park, while Brussels' symbol – the Atomium – adorned the square. A copy of the gigantic construction the Atomium – the symbol of the world exhibition in Brussels in 1958 – is the most complicated figure among all the things created by specialists of the enterprise's mechanical repair shop for New Year parks. Citizens liked the Atomium so much that the symbol adorned the New Year square at their request for several years in a row – from 2014 to 2017.
