Samara river-front is one of the favorite recreation places of local dwellers and the guests. After Vasily Aksyonov visited Samara he remarked: "I am not sure where in the West one can find such a long and beautiful embankment. Possibly around Lake of Geneva only".

Samara enterprises played a leading hand in development of domestic aviation and implementation of space programs. An unusual monument is situated in Samara, it is Ilyushin-2 aircraft assembled by the Kuibyshev workers late 1942. This attack plane was brought down in 1943 in the sky over Karelia, but the heavily wounded pilot K. Kotlyarovsky managed to bring the aircraft on to land near the lake of Oriyarvi. The aircraft returned to its native land in 1975. It was placed at crossing of two major roads as a symbol of deeds of home front servicemen and air-force pilots during the Great Patriotic War.

The characterization of Samara in The Ring followed very closely that of Sadako Yamamura in the 1998 film. Both intermittently retain the grainy black-and-white texture of the cursed videotape even after they have exited the "real world", and both are seen manifesting only from a TV set. Samara appears to lack Sadako's power of "blacking out" her image from footage taken before her death, presumably because this would have made the hospital footage of her impossible. Samara was ... a full decade younger than Sadako when she was killed.

While working on a cruise ship she completed a three month tour of Turkey, Greece, Russia, Bulgaria, Egypt and Israel.

Samara was adopted by horse ranchers Richard and Anna Morgan from Moesko Island, who had tried and failed to have a child of their own. Soon after, Anna began to go insane, disturbed by horrifying visions Samara was somehow feeding into her mind. Shortly afterward, Samara was placed in a psychiatric hospital, where medical studies showed the girl possessed a rare psychic ability known as projected thermography, allowing her to psychically "burn" images from her mind onto surfaces, or even into the minds of others. She never slept and was completely insensitive to pain. Samara ... apparently didn't know how to control her abilities. Eventually, she was released from the hospital at Richard's request (despite doctors' objections) and subsequently forced to live in the barn in the hope that the distance would help Anna.
