City of Artemovsky. History, sights, museums

Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, active development of Siberia and the Urals began, which is why the first settlements arose in the area of ​​the current Artemovsky district during this period. These include the village of Pokrovskoye, the appearance of which dates back to 1621, the village of Lipino, which appeared in 1648, the village of Mironovo, which existed before 1663 and the village of Shogrish, the foundation of which dates back to 1668. Where the village itself is now located city, the earliest settlement was the village of Yegorshinskoye, founded in 1665, which was located on the right bank of one of the tributaries of the Irbit River - the Bobrovka River. This village was named after the Cossack Yegorsh Kozhevin, who in 1665 received a plot of land here. At first the name sounded like Yegorshin Povytok, then it was transformed into Yegorshina village, and already in 1864 there was already the village of Yegorshino.

An important event was the founding of the Irbit Ironworks in 1776 by Savva Yakovlev (which was later renamed the Irbit Metal Rolling Plant). Thanks to this enterprise, a factory village appeared, which in our time is called Krasnogvardeisky. This plant received orders from the military department back in the Patriotic War of 1811-1813, from here cannonballs, grapeshot and bombs were sent to the front. Pudding furnaces and a steam hammer were built here only in 1866-1870, at the same time rolling mills were launched, which made it possible to produce sheet iron.

With a simple deepening of the well, which the peasant V.A. Skutin decided to do in 1871 on his estate in the village of Egorshinskoye, the discovery of the “Egorshinskoye coal deposit” began. The “black rocky soil” discovered at the bottom of the well turned out to be coal. Since 1872, industrial development of this deposit began, which consisted not only of industrial development, but also of study. The research was carried out at that time by simply geologist A.P. Karpinsky, who later became an academician.

The pace of production increased, and the village itself grew. Already by 1904 there were 1,363 residents here, who were housed in 246 peasant households. Over 40 small mines were also built, which mostly belonged to the Nizhny Tagil Demidov plants, as well as to such plants as Sysertsky, Alapaesky and Verkh-Isetsky. The largest mines were “Klyuchi-1” (1907) with a depth of 82 m, “Sofia” (1913) with a depth of 105 m and “Bursunka” No. 2 (1914) 49 m in depth.

Naturally, the mined coal had to be transported. Therefore, it is not surprising that in 1913-1916. Railway lines were actively built, the length of which exceeded 500 km. At the same time, Yegorshino station became a hub, located at the intersection of major transport routes.

Revolutionary events and years of civil war

Revolutionary events were not left aside either. The Yegorshinsky Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies appeared here in March 1917, and in November it took power. Already in February 1918, all coal mines were nationalized.

The Civil War brought fierce battles with the White Guards near the Yegorshinsky mines. In May 1918, a volunteer detachment appeared to help the Red Army, which consisted of Egorshin miners. In August of the same year, they began to form the Kamyshlovsky regiment, which was recruited at the Irbitsky plant (now this village is called Krasnogvardeysky).

After the retreat of the Red Army from Yekaterinburg at the end of July 1918, the troops marched just through Yegorshino towards N. Tagil, scattered units were reorganized, and Yegorshino itself held the defense. Only in the fall of 1918 did the soldiers of the 1st Peasant Com. The regiment (which later became the Red Eagles regiment) managed to stop and then push back the Kolchakites in the Yegorshino area. Now this place is the Krasnye Orly station. In memory of the soldiers who fell near Yegorshino, an obelisk was erected in the park near the Yegorshino station in 1920.

The events of those days were described in P. P. Bazhov’s essays “Formation on the Move,” since the author himself participated in everything that happened as the editor of “Trench Pravda.” The effectiveness of the organization of defense was most influenced by G. A. Usievich (commissar of the front) and M. V. Vasiliev (commander of the 1st brigade of the Eastern Division). The 1st Peasant Committee also played an important role. regiment, led by F.E. Akulov.

Another book about those times, “Red Eagles,” was written by F.I. Golikov, who was a regiment machine gunner at that time. He later achieved the rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union. But in the end, Yegorshino was still left to the white troops; only in July 1919 did the cavalry group of N.D. Tomin liberate the area from Kolchak’s troops.

Development of the region in the pre-war five-year plans

Naturally, the devastation created difficult conditions for the normal work of the miners, but they managed to be among the first in the Urals to fulfill the established socialist plan for coal mining. So in 1920, 3.2 million pounds of coal were mined. It was possible to restore the Sofia mine. Since 1921, coal from the Egorshinsky deposit was delivered to St. Petersburg factories and factories. M.I. Kalinin himself spoke at a rally in front of the miners on June 29, 1921.

The Bobrovskaya mine in 1921 was renamed the mine named after. Artyom, although “Artyom” is only the battle nickname of the famous Bolshevik revolutionary F.A. Sergeev, who became the chairman of the Central Committee of the Russian Union of Miners and died during the testing of an aerocar.

Electrification of the country has also affected the area. Regional power plants near the Egorshinsky anthracite mines were included in the GOELRO plan among the first among 30 new power plants. The Egorshinskaya station has a capacity of up to 40 thousand kW. The first stage of the power plant was launched in October 1922. The village of Egorshino in 1924 became the center of the established Egorshinsky district, and a year later, the scattered mining villages were united into a single working village named after. Artem. In the new village, according to the population census conducted in 1926, there were 2911 inhabitants.

In the pre-war period, new mines were built and manufacturing enterprises were opened. The largest mine was the mine named after. Kirov. A bakery, an industrial plant, a carriage depot and other enterprises were created. The second stage of Egorshinskaya State District Power Plant named after. The October Revolution made it possible to produce power up to 24 thousand kW. The infrastructure also developed: secondary schools, office buildings, hospitals and a cinema. By 1926, the number of settlements in the district had increased to 67, and the district center was moved to a village located near the Yegorshino station.

A new power plant called “Red October” was opened in October 1923, its capacity was 1200 kW. Its launch made it possible to electrify not only the mining village, but also the surrounding villages. The first stage of electrification affected Yegorshino and was completed by January 1926. The following year, the village of Pokrovskoye, which was the largest in the area, was electrified.

October 1930 brought the appearance of the Yegorshinsky Regional Radio Center, which was one of the largest in the Urals. By November 1931, the first radio mobiles and switchboards were manufactured.

Since April 20, 1935 p. Parshino, s. Egorshino, the village and railway station of Egorshina, the Klyuchi mine, the New settlement and the New mine mine were included in the workers' settlement of Artemovsky village (Egorshino district). This delineated the territory where the city of Artemovsky and the village itself later arose. Egorshino ceased to exist. On December 4, 1938, a Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR was issued, which transformed the workers' village named after. Artem to the city of Artemovsky with district subordination.

Already almost before the war, in 1938, exploration of a new coal deposit was carried out - Bulanashsky. The Bulanash 1–2 mine was launched only in March 1943.

WWII times

During the Second World War, the Skopinsky Mechanical Plant, belonging to the Moskovugol association, which was a fairly large enterprise, was evacuated to the territory of Artemovsk. The Artemovsky Machine-Building Plant (AMZ) switched to the production of military products, and it was here that some parts for the famous Katyusha were produced. In addition to parts of mortar guns, mines and ammunition for aviation were produced. In 1945, the plant was even given the Red Banner of the State Defense Committee, and it also took prizes 7 times in the then All-Union Social. competition. Also in August 1941, the ERZ merged with the Kyiv Radio Equipment Plant, which was also evacuated to the area. A tank intercom (or “TPU” for the T-34) was produced here.

Main streets of Artyomovsky

A map of Artemovsky with houses will tell you in detail about all 254 streets of the city, the main ones among which are:

• St. Lenin . Length 14 km. Starts from the intersection with the street. Mira and Uralskaya, ends at the intersection with the street. Youth. Directly here or nearby are the city administration, banks, supermarkets and department stores, cafes, parks and squares, a museum, library, Christian temple, monuments, cultural institutions, pharmacies, a city hospital and a railway stop, some bus routes begin.
• St. Ural . The northern “border” of the business, shopping and cultural center of the city. Starts from st. Lenin, ends at the intersection with the street. Zagorodny.
• St. K. Marx. An extended section of the route between the center of Artyomovsky and its remote area - the village. Bulanash, where the machine-building plant is located. The numbering of buildings starts from the intersection with the street. Razvedchikov (there are gas stations and cafes nearby), ends at the intersection with the street. Dzerzhinsky (next to a grocery store).
• St. Freedom . Located in the historical part of the city - Yegorshino. It is a continuation of the street. Schmidt, ends at the intersection with the street. Polarnikov. Nearby there is a railway station and a canteen, a post office, shopping centers, supermarkets, monuments, public gardens, a large green area where the Egorshinsky sanatorium is located.
• St. Polarnikov. It starts from the area of ​​garden plots and runs parallel to the street for almost its entire length. Freedom; on the odd side there are many industrial buildings. Nearby there is a social service center, Sberbank, a household appliances store, a pet store, and supermarkets.

Post-war years

From 1946 to 1948 There was a transition of factories to the production of civilian products. So, ERZ, along with the production of radio equipment under the order of the defense industry, began to produce radio stations intended for the national economy, as well as other consumer goods. To this day, ERZ makes supplies for the defense industry, but at the same time it also produces components that are used in the automotive industry.

Artemovsky received the status of a city of regional subordination in 1960.

Artyomovsk Electric Networks (NPP) appeared in 1964.

AMZ's civilian products have become more in demand: fans produced by the plant are used in the chemical and mining industries, in mechanical engineering and energy, in metallurgy and in the construction of subways. Belt conveyors are also manufactured here and welding electrodes are produced.

1976 brought the appearance of two more enterprises in the city's economy. This is how the Artyomovsky rural construction plant appeared, which began to produce concrete building structures, which were so necessary for the national economy at that time. Now this enterprise has been renamed ZhBZ No. 1. The second enterprise was the Bulanashsky Machine-Building Plant, which began to produce pumps used for drilling rigs in the oil field.

Artemovskaya CHPP was created in 1990, taking as a basis the city production and heating boiler house and the Unified State District Power Plant, part of Sverdlovenergo JSC.

The Ural-Whitley joint venture was located at BMZ for a long time (1995-2006). Today, BMZ is a member of the Generation industrial group from the city of Berezovsky.

The municipal district "Artyomovsky District" was included in the Regional Register of Municipal Districts on November 10, 1996, and entered the Federal Register of Municipal Districts in the Russian Federation on November 30, 1999.

The gas pipeline was put into operation in April 2001.

JSC Sverdlovenergo was reorganized in April 2008, receiving the name JSC IDGC of the Urals.

Churches and temples

There were also churches and monasteries. In the city of Artemovsky itself you can visit the Prophet-Ilyinsky prayer house. This stone single-altar church was erected in the name of the Prophet Elijah back in 1909, so it has already passed its hundredth anniversary. During Soviet times, the temple was closed.

In Pokrovskoye there is the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God “Tenderness”. This temple is considered a temple on the blood, since the blood of martyrs was shed here more than once. Back in 1655, the first temple appeared here, then still wooden. However, just a few years later, the village was captured and plundered by nomads, and the parishioners, along with the rector, were burned in the parish building. A little later, two more churches, also wooden, were added to the temple. Only in 1821 was a stone temple built, which can be seen in our time.

Also in the area there are many churches in a dilapidated state, and if they are not restored in the very near future, then soon these historical and cultural monuments will completely disappear.

Monuments created by nature

Natural and geographical objects do not lag behind historical and cultural ones, complementing them and glorifying the Artemovsk urban district.

So there are a lot of rivers in the area: Aramashka, Berezovaya, Bichur, Blizhny Bulanash, Bobrovka, Bolshoi Bulanash, Bulanash, Gryaznukha, Dalniy Bulanash, Elovka, Irbit, Klyuch, Krutaya, Lipovka, Maly Bulanash, Mostovka, Mezhnaya, Osinovka, Pisanskaya, Rezh , Sosnovka, Sychevka, Treasun, Khaiduk, Cheremshanka, Shaitanka, Shogrish.

In addition to the rivers, there is also Lake Beloye, which is a landscape natural monument and is therefore surrounded by a protected zone.

Kalinovsky Klyuch, which is classified as a hydrological natural monument, also has a protected zone. Pure spring water comes out here. This place is classified as a holiday destination.

The enclosure for keeping sika deer has the status of a nature reserve.

There are also open-air museums. Thus, the “Written” stone is an archaeological, botanical and geomorphological natural monument. The limestone rock located on the bank of the river is especially famous. Irbit, since it was covered with writing in several rows by ancient people. There is also a complex of rock flora, which includes the Manturov stone, which is also an archaeological, botanical and geomorphological natural monument. On the limestone cliffs there is a rocky mountain-steppe flora containing herbaceous relics and endemics.

Another hydrological and historical natural monument is the so-called “Shaitan Ditch”.

Lake Irbitskoye was connected to Shaitansky Pond by a canal, which was built on the orders of Demidov in the 18th century. serfs of the region.

Artyomovsky on the map of Russia: geography, nature and climate

Artyomovsky is located on the low eastern slope of the Middle Urals , along the right bank of the river. Bobrovki . To the west of the city there are gentle wooded hills, to the east the area resembles a plain. The picturesque surroundings attract those who like to go fishing and relax in nature. The urban area occupies 47 sq. km; a satellite map of Artyomovsky will help you get acquainted with its features.

The climate here is temperate continental. It is characterized by long winters with an average January temperature of -16°, and rather short summers with an average July temperature of +19°. Consistently frosty weather sets in by mid-November and ends in the 2nd half of March; frosts occur in May-June and August-September. The average monthly precipitation is 86 mm, the average annual wind force is 6.1 m/sec.

Written stone

The unique Written Stone is one of the most striking natural monuments. There are 70 known piston stones from the Urals, including this one. Thanks to this stone, the village of Pisanets got its name, which appeared on the territory of the Artemovsky district back in the 17th century. This natural monument is located on the left bank of the river. Irbit. A ten-meter high rock rises above the water. Its eastern side is flat, but the western side is decorated with sharp stones. And it was on the western side that, back in ancient times, people made drawings at a height of about 3 meters, but the brown ocher used has darkened so much over time that the drawings themselves are now difficult to distinguish. Here is a figure of a man surrounded by images of various animals. The largest drawing is an image of a spruce tree whose branches have drooped. These drawings are already about 2 thousand years old. At that time, this area was inhabited by the ancient Ugrians, who were the ancestors of the present-day Khanty and Mansi. Appeared in this area in the 17th century. Russian settlers called them the “white-eyed miracle”

The rock itself is composed of volcanic and bedrock, and has layers of limestone. Inside the rocks there are remains of ancient plants and animals. And the rock itself is amazing: its color in one place is completely black, and in another it is already white-pink. Well, if you touch the rock with your hand, a white trace of limestone will remain. On the side of the river at the foot there is also a small cave, the height of a person and measuring 3 by 5 meters. It is believed that ancient people could once have lived in it.

The study of drawings has also been carried out for a long time. Back in 1703, the first description appeared, made by the famous explorers of Siberia, the Remezov brothers. They had a chance to come to the Urals on the instructions of Peter I himself. In 1705, this Ural stone was also described by the scientist Vidzhen from Holland. In 1721, Tatishchev visited here, who founded the Ural mining business, as well as the city of Yekaterinburg. Academician G. Miller visited the rock in 1734, and it was his description that exactly matches the modern appearance of the stone. A.P. Karpinsky, who visited the rock in 1876, also worked on the description of the “unsolved inscription”, and in Soviet times he became president of the Academy of Sciences. Not only did he study the inscriptions, but he also collected and recorded legends associated with Pisanets N. Bulychev, who was a member of the Ural Society of Natural History Lovers. In the 20th century, the stone was studied by Professor V.N. Chernetsov, who in 1958 transcribed the remaining part of the existing inscriptions onto tracing paper. It was he who made a complete scientific description and even released an album, but the mystery of the inscriptions was still not solved. According to V.N. Chernetsov, the appearance of writings in the Urals can be associated with cyclical calendar rituals that were carried out by the Finno-Ugric peoples. These rituals were supposed to attract prey, glorify the spring revival of nature and promote an increase in fisheries to help catch more birds, animals and fish. Written sources say that the Mansi revered written rocks until the 17th–19th centuries.

At the beginning of the last century, a rich man from the village of Pisanets Uporov built a red brick house above the Pisan Stone. When the civil war was going on, rumors attributed that secret passages led from the basements of this house to the Written Stone and to the other side of Irbit. But in the 30s, Uporov was dispossessed and expelled, handing over the house to the village council. Further, this building housed an educational school.

When in 1929 the peasants on the Red Partisan collective farm needed limestone stone, they simply began to take it from the rock, thereby destroying some of the drawings. Although before development began, the rock was photographed, and the pictures were sent to Moscow to obtain permission. But since it was not possible to decipher the inscriptions, it was considered that they had no scientific significance, so development was allowed. But later it turned out that this stone was not suitable for construction, which prevented the monument from being completely destroyed. The blasting work that was carried out at that time left behind a trace in the form of large stones located on the river bank near the foot of the cliff.

Only in 1959 was the Pisany Stone declared a state reserve.

Various traditions and legends are associated with the Written Stone. So the old-timers learned that the cave was much larger; even at the beginning of the 20th century, a passage inside the rock reached all the way to the Upor station. And if near the entrance the height of the cave was only the height of a person, then further on the vaults became higher, and the cave itself expanded. In the center there was a large natural room. And just in it there was a stone dais on which stood a golden idol, the weight of which reached 12 pounds. The ancestors worshiped this idol. However, then the vault collapsed, blocking the entrance to the deep room of the cave. Also, according to the old people, the golden idol was not the only golden thing in the room, many other objects were golden. The gold grip is most often mentioned. For ancient people this place was sacred, here they worshiped their gods.

Old residents of the village Pisanets still believe that near the Pisan Stone lives a Bigfoot who is drawn to the ancient camps. So from time to time there are rumors that Bigfoot was seen nearby. So the last evidence of such a meeting was the statement of 85-year-old Nikolai Mezentsev, who saw the Bigfoot on December 20, 1991; this case was reflected in the newspaper “Artemovsky Rabochiy”, which was published on January 3, 1992.

They also say that you need to listen carefully to the rock, then you can hear a rather strange sound reminiscent of “breathing.” And no matter how they tried to destroy this miracle of nature, it survived for centuries, proving its right to surprise and delight those who saw it.
