Berezovsky

The village of Berezovsky arose in 1949 during the construction of the Berezovskaya mine; It most likely got its name from the abundance of birch trees in the area.

The city of Berezovsky was formed in 1965 from the villages of Kurganovka, Berezovsky and Oktyabrsky.

The city is located near the M53 highway (to Mariinsk, Krasnoyarsk and further to the east), but this does not give the city any advantages.

Entry from the P-255 highway, also known as M53

Few people know that a century ago Kolchak’s army passed through the city, retreating to the east. They passed through the village of Dmitrievka, where they still find various objects - from coins to weapons. One city resident has a Maxim machine gun in his garden, a living witness and participant in those events. In history, this transition is called the Great Siberian Ice March. In the city, few people study it, as well as the history of the region (there are enthusiasts and history buffs).

The city of Berezovsky in the Kemerovo region.

The city of Berezovsky was founded from several small villages, when the entire Kemerovo region was engaged in agriculture, logging and coal mining. The area now occupied by the city of Berezovsky was part of the taiga forest, and the largest settlements were Barzas, Oktyabrsky and Yuzhnaya. History of the city of Berezovsky All cities of Kuzbass have a very individual formation and education, some of the cities grew up in places for better living of people, others instead of towns and villages, and there are places where cities grew in those areas where nature itself suggested the development of a future labor force. city ​​activities. The Berezovskaya mine appeared on the site of the taiga, where coal deposits were discovered deep in the depths. Currently, the city of Berezovsky is surrounded by greenery, which is why it has such a poetic name. In these rich places, the first settlers appeared at that moment, who began to open up and work on the development of new deposits, and after the opening of the mines, the settlements began to be connected into more developed villages. Now in Berezovsk, the main object in the development of construction has become a plant for the construction of panel houses; the leading position in the development of the city is occupied by the Berezovsky bakery. By connecting Berezovsky with Barzas and Anzhero Sudzhensky, communication between cities became available to the city by connecting the Great Siberian Route. In the area of ​​Berezovsky there are deposits of minerals: coal, gold, sapropelite, some types of iron ore, high-quality deposits of clay and marble, timber is harvested and sold. The main attractions of the city of Berezovsky The town itself is quite small and relatively young, the spirit of socialism is felt in it, but, despite this, there is an ancient Stone Church of St. John of Kronstadt with a rich history. This is a new building, and the most beautiful in Kuzbass. The church is ready to receive and teach children in Sunday school; there is a library and a refectory at the church. The city of Berezovsky has its own Arbat, this is a street connected to the temple. This is the most favorite place for walking: new beautiful tiles, asphalt, broken flower beds with flowers and trees, beautiful and properly designed street lighting, designed in the form of pillars with lanterns, which allow you to relax and walk in the evening. It is worth highlighting the most interesting attraction of Berezovsky - this is a fountain, which is made in the form of a granite flower. It was installed for Miner's Day, and its unusual shape, made of granite, allows you to spend evenings and family leisure in this park. It is especially beautiful to admire it in the evening; a hundred or more lamps are turned on around, and in the light of the lanterns, streams of water flow in a golden stream, causing delight among the audience. You can note that the facades of the houses are pleasantly decorated with bright and multi-colored paints; this tradition appeared quite recently, and houses are painted for Miner’s Day. And while walking around the city you can see all the colors of the rainbow on the facades of houses and buildings. In a quiet and cozy park next to the hospital, there is a monument to Doctor Aibolit, who rushes to help the sick, and he rides on a whale. This monument symbolizes, as the author himself says, good nature and compassion. It was here, in the area of ​​the hospital where this monument stands, that a place was chosen for him to emphasize the meaning of these words. Well, there are benches and lanterns around, which help create the ideal composition of the monument and evening illumination. To spend the weekend and relax with your family, the city has a swimming pool, a children's sports school-complex, an equestrian club, and the Atlant health complex.

Berezovsky will hospitably welcome guests and will certainly show you the most amazing and attractive places!

Population

The city's population continues to decline. If in the early 90s about 52 thousand people lived in Bereza, as the locals call it, then in 2015 the number of Berezovka residents officially decreased to 47 thousand. There is a noticeable trend for young people to leave the city. As elsewhere, school graduates go to Tomsk, Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, Novosibirsk, and some go to Moscow with St. Petersburg, where they then settle in new places, form families and are in no hurry to return.

The main increase in population comes from migration from neighboring villages, villages, as well as visitors from Kazakhstan.

Almost the entire adult population works in mines, open-pit mines and related market segments.

Climate and ecology

The climate, as throughout the entire territory of Kuzbass, is sharply continental, cold in winter, sometimes up to 30 and below, in summer it is hot over +30 (at times). And so, in summer the temperature averages 20 degrees Celsius.

Recently, the climate on the planet and in the region has been bringing its own surprises: with snow in June and thaws in February. If earlier throughout the winter the temperature was below 20 degrees, and February was freezing, and the snow began to melt only at the end of March or beginning of April, now at the end of February it is around zero, and a week later - minus 20. In general, we live happily!

Snow in summer!

The ecological situation is more or less rosy. Pollution mainly comes from transport. There are not many enterprises within the city limits, they are all at a fairly large distance, but of those that are close:

1. City boiler house - heated with coal, hence the emissions of soot into the air, there is a regular layer of dirt on the windows, children are not recommended to chew on icicles, because there are black inclusions of soot and combustion products,
2. Berezovskaya Central Processing Plant is located not far from the city, sometimes the wind blows in coal drying products.

All waste accumulates around enterprises (these are processing plants, mines and open-pit mines), the snow there is white only in the first minutes after it falls.

Berezovsky's history

In 1999 alone, 15 coal mining enterprises were put into operation; in total, over the past 21 years, 11 new mines and 16 coal mines have been put into operation. Another new industry for the Kemerovo region is oil refining: in 2003, the creation of oil refineries began. In February 2010, the coal gas mine was officially launched, and the production and use of methane from coal seams began.

Districts and real estate

The city is not big, therefore there are not many districts. The city consists of 3 main districts:

• Village of the Yuzhnaya mine (Yuzhnaya, Yuzhanka),
• Berezovskaya mine village (Beryozovka),
• Central microdistrict (Mikrashka, center). At the same time, Mikrashka consists of several mini-districts: Oktyabrsky, 4th microdistrict (Chetverka), Volkova, VGSCH, Solnechny, Fedorovka.

Map of Berezovsky districts

Real estate prices, as throughout the country in small towns: 1st - about 1 million rubles, 2nd - 1.5-2 million rubles, 3rd - from 1.8 million rubles. These are prices for resale, a little more expensive for new buildings. Houses are sold from 500 thousand rubles, depending on condition. Due to the “crises,” housing prices fell slightly. More expensive real estate in the Center, on Berezovka and Yuzhnaya, the price is slightly lower (200 thousand).

Enterprises and work

The city lives by coal mining; Berezovsky’s main employer is the Chernigovets open-pit mine. Miners' salaries are not high. The highest paid workers are excavator operators and BelAZ drivers - about 40t. R. and higher, the rest receive about 20-25 thousand rubles, despite the fact that a regional coefficient of 30% applies. Miners have a salary in the range of 20-30 thousand rubles, mining sites earn more, and those on the surface - maybe 15 thousand rubles.

Among the enterprises, we will highlight the large ones - Chernigovets, the Berezovskaya and Pervomaiskaya mines, the Severnaya processing plant, the Berezovskaya central processing plant, the Barzassky open-pit mine, and Rover.

Cherniga, Administrative and Household Plant (ABK)

But the main scourge of Kuzbass is the SDS - the Siberian Business Union. This structure has bought up the entire region and is actively establishing its own rules. The labor code is often not respected, overtime is not paid, and if you stay for dinner, you will only be given time off for the number of hours you spent at work. Stayed for 1.30, they will give you 1.30, and it doesn’t matter that you have to wait another 2 and a half hours for the service bus. Reviews about this organization are negative, but people have nowhere to go, because there is no other work in the city. So they adapt, or even change for the worse (set-ups are not uncommon, denunciation is practiced and valued).

That’s why many are fleeing Kuzbass, because in another city in the region there is the same SDS or its “daughter”.
