Story

Lomonosov Street
The history of Pavlovo goes back centuries and is connected with the history of the development of the Russian state. The earliest mention of Pavlov dates back to the beginning of the second half of the 16th century. The first written mention of Pavlov in a letter from Ivan the Terrible dates back to April 5, 1566. This written mention is conventionally considered the year of Pavlov's founding. There are many legends about the origin of the city's name. One of them says that it got its name from a certain settler - the ferryman Paul. According to another, the city was named after the first townsman in the fort, since in all important documents it was mentioned as Pavlov Ostrog.

In Pavlov, in addition to the archers, artisans settled under the protection of the fort - blacksmiths, tinsmiths, coppersmiths, coopers, potters and others. They were the founders of the metalworking industry, which brought all-Russian fame. The further development of Pavlovsk metal crafts was facilitated by the proximity of metal production in Vyksa and the Murom forests (60-80 kilometers from Pavlov), as well as the abundance of coniferous and deciduous forests, which provided raw materials for the production of charcoal, necessary in blacksmithing.

In the 17th century, gunsmiths and locksmiths predominated in Pavlov. In the first half of the 17th century, the division of labor intensified and many new types of products appeared: table knives and forks, folding knives, scissors, razors, and artistically designed metal products. From time immemorial, Pavlovsk residents were famous for their castles. The traditional products of Vorsmen metalworkers were knives and table forks, with handles made of mother-of-pearl, bone, ebony, folding and penknives, daggers, artistically designed multi-piece knives, and razors. During the Crimean War, the production of medical and surgical instruments began here.

Since 1918, Pavlovo has been a district city of the Pavlovsk district of the Nizhny Novgorod province, since 1929 - the regional center of the Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky) region (since 1936 - the Nizhny Novgorod region).

Goose fights in Pavlovo

The tradition of goose fighting in Russia is more than three hundred years old. It is known that among their fans were even the highest persons, for example Emperor Peter I. Pavlovsk residents are very proud that they managed to preserve this custom even during periods of famine. Fighting birds were cherished like the apple of their eye.

Goose fighting has nothing in common with bloody cockfights, dog fights, or bullfighting. They are based on the natural desire of these birds to fight for the attention of the female. Therefore, a couple of males and three or four geese are brought into the ring. The competitions have very strict rules: you can only peck your opponent on the neck and wings; grabbing each other’s head or paws is prohibited. The violator will be immediately disqualified.

True, sometimes the fight doesn’t work out: the hypothetical rivals may simply not like any of the females.

Main streets of Pavlovo

There are 360 ​​streets in the city of Pavlovo, the main ones are:

1. Kommunisticheskaya - at the beginning it intersects with Mayakovsky Street, at the end - with Dorozhnaya. On this street are the City Administration, the Palace of Culture, and nearby is the Green Park and the airplane monument.
2. Chkalova - starts from the intersection with Chapaev Street and lasts to the border with Ilyich Alley. It intersects with Favorsky Street, one of the most green in the city. Not far from Chkalova Street there is a cozy Favorsky square.
3. Ilyich Alley - lasts from the border with Chkalov Street to the city outskirts.

Houses of Soplyakovs and Maklakovs

At No. 12 is another apartment building that belonged to the heirs of the merchant A.M. Maklakova. Both monuments were built at the beginning of the 20th century. The Maklakovsky house is a solid brick building with white stone inserts.

Closely adjacent to it is house No. 14, which belonged to the family of sausage merchant M.V. Soplyakov from the 1880s-1890s. Thanks to its location on the corner of Bazarnaya Square (the latter, together with Central Square and Lunacharsky Street connecting them, forms Pavlov’s modern “downtown”), the Soplyakovs’ house becomes an important city-forming accent. Its undoubted artistic merits - an asymmetrical thirteen-window façade, an openwork cornice and a figured attic - only emphasize the importance of this architectural monument in the modern development of the city.
