History of Shchuchye

Today's administrative center Shchuchye was founded in 1750. Historical fact. The route of the German scientist, encyclopedist, naturalist Peter Simon (Peter Simon) Palace through the Trans-Urals began from the Chumlyakskaya settlement. (“Travel to different provinces of the Russian state in 1773-1778”). On June 7, 1837, the future Emperor Alexander II passed through Chelyabinsk. In his retinue was the famous poet Vasily Andreevich Zhukovsky, who made many drawings, including a view of the Zlatoust plant, the villages of Chumlyakskaya, Syrostan, Magnitnaya, mountains and lakes.

Near the village in 1895, during the construction of the Omsk railway, the Chumlyak station appeared, which was opened the next year. The name of the station in the neighborhood of the village of Chumlyak, through which, according to the original project, the route was supposed to pass. This circumstance contributed to the faster development of the village. In 1909, merchant and philanthropist S.I. Kolokolnikov (1867-1925) built a steam roller mill at the Chumlyak station on the Siberian Railway. The owner of the Chumlyak mill was the merchant of the 1st guild, Vladimir Ivanovich Kolokolnikov.

In 1941, the equipment of two factories from the cities of Bryansk and Priluki was evacuated to the village of Shchuchye. The plant was then located in the building of the Shchuchanskaya MTS. Currently, this is the Shchuchansky Fire Engineering Plant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, specializing in the production of chemical foam fire extinguishers. During wartime, the production of fire extinguishers for tanks and aircraft, as well as mines for mortars, was launched. Fire extinguishers were supplied to 34 countries around the world (the plant is not operating). During the Great Patriotic War, 9,324 soldiers left the region for the front, 5,217 soldiers and officers did not return from the battlefields.
