( 2910 ) Yoshkar- Ola is an asteroid of the main internal belt, which was discovered by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Chernykh on October 11, 1980 at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj (IAU code 095). Unconfirmed sightings of the asteroid it had previously been several: on 25 October 1957 under the provisional designation 1957 UD at the Heidelberg State Observatory king chair and in April 1979 (1979 HL) at Cerro Tololo Inter- American Observatory in Chile.

Mean distance from the sun ( semimajor axis), eccentricity and inclination of the orbital plane of the asteroid similar to the path data of the members of the Flora family, a large group of asteroids that is named after ( 8) flora. Asteroids of this family move in an orbital resonance of 4:9 with the planet Mars around the Sun. The group is also called Ariadne family after the asteroid (43 ) Ariadne.

In PSABA project of the Czech astronomer Petr Pravec an investigation of the light curve of ( 2910 ) Yoshkar -Ola was recommended. Astronomers in Australia ( Julian Oey ) and Slovakia ( Világi Jozef Štefan Gajdoš, Leonard Kornós, Adrián Galád ) examined then the asteroid in September and October 2006 and determined a rotation period of 3.4233 (± 0.0001) hours.

The asteroid was posted on November 8, 1984 named after the city of Yoshkar -Ola on the occasion of its 400th founding anniversary. At the time the asteroid was appellation Yoshkar -Ola capital of the Mari ASSR, then capital of the Republic of Mari El in Russia.
