The city of Gubkin, Belgorod region - info.

The city of Gubkin is located in the north of the Belgorod region and is one of the youngest and third largest in the Belgorod region, after Belgorod and Stary Oskol.
The city of Gubkin is named after the Soviet geologist, academician I.M. Gubkin and is rightfully considered the mining capital of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, since its entire history is connected with the origin and development of the metallurgical complex not only of the Belgorod region, but also of the entire KMA region.

The population of the city of Gubkin is about 90,000 people. The population of the city of Gubkin together with the Gubkinsky district is about 120,000 people. The Gubkinsky district borders on the Starooskolsky, Chernyansky, Korochansky, Prokhorovsky districts of the Belgorod region and the Manturovo district of the Kursk region. The largest settlements in the Gubkinsky district are the village of Troitsky, the village of Skorodnoye, and Bobrovy Dvory. The largest enterprises of the mining and metallurgical complex in the Gubkinsky territory are Lebedinsky GOK, the KMAruda Plant, and an agro-industrial enterprise - the BVK Company.

Every year Gubkin is transformed more and more, becoming more modern, beautiful, and cozy. The city is becoming prettier and blossoming in the truest sense of the word. The flowers in the flower beds and rock gardens are blazing with bright, rich colors. Green, well-groomed carpets of lawns, which occupy more than 51 hectares, separate the smooth asphalt surface of city highways from the intricate patterns of tiled sidewalks. The voluminous and shaped flower beds, animal figures made from flowers and plants evoke a kind smile: for example, three elephants and a peacock at the city pond, swans at the entrance to the Swans microdistrict, cranes in the Zhuravliki microdistrict, foxes and a bun at the Bread House OJSC, a mighty bear at the sports complex "Miner". And it is quite natural that for two years in a row, based on the results of 2000 and 2001, Gubkin, among cities with a population of up to 100 thousand people, took second place in the All-Russian competition for the title “The most comfortable city in Russia”; in 2002, the city won 1st place in this competition. Head of local government A.A. Kretov is a laureate of the National Public Prize named after Peter the Great in the category “For effective management and achieving the best socio-economic indicators of the development of a municipal formation.”

Located on the Gubkinsky territory, the Lebedinsky mining and processing plant is the largest in Russia and one of the ten largest enterprises in the world for the extraction of iron ore and the production of high-quality raw materials for ferrous metallurgy. It provides about a third of Russian exports of raw materials for steel production. Lebedinsky GOK is twice listed in the Guinness Book of Records: as an enterprise that develops a unique iron ore deposit of more than 20 billion tons and has the world's largest quarry for the extraction of non-combustible minerals. The annual productivity of the Lebedinsky quarry in terms of rock mass is more than 80 million tons, including more than 45 million tons of ferruginous quartzites. The city and the plant are developing together. And the well-being of miners and their families depends on the stable operation of the enterprise. The explored reserves of iron ore at the Lebedinskoye deposit will allow the company to supply the enterprise with raw materials for more than 200 years.

Cultural and sports facilities, hospitals, schools, and Orthodox churches are being built in the city of Gubkin. In 2003, the Crystal sports complex was put into operation, which includes a sports palace with an ice arena, a gym, a stadium with 1,500 seats, modern tennis courts, on the basis of which a children's and youth sports school No. 1 with departments was opened in 2004 figure skating, swimming, football, hockey, polyathlon. A gift for the residents of Gubkin in September 2005 was the opening of the Gornyak sports complex, which includes a stadium with stands for seven thousand seats and an athletics arena for three thousand seats, a shooting range, halls for wrestling, boxing, weightlifting, choreography, and a chess club. , hotel, library.

The city has its own football club “Gubkin,” which has been successfully playing in the professional championship league of the second division of the Center zone for several years.

Fertility

In the cities of the Belgorod region in 2000, there was a tendency to increase the child population. The birth rate has doubled over the past ten years. Every year this figure increases by approximately 0.3%. The region is one of the three subjects of the Federation in terms of the number of babies born. It occupies third position, behind the Bryansk, Tver and Kostroma regions.

According to analysts, the birth rate is directly related to the quality of life and the availability of social services. Today there are 130,000 women of childbearing age in the region. The dynamics of the increase in the number of children is explained by the increase in the number of rebirths. At the same time, the number of first-born children decreased noticeably, reaching 56.2%. The share of third children is 7.3%. The number of fourth and fifth children has decreased slightly.

Every year, every twentieth resident of the Belgorod region becomes pregnant. At the same time, the trend towards an increase in the number of pregnancies among mature women continues. In the group from 35 to 39 years old, the birth rate is 6%. The category from 30 to 34 years old accounts for 18%. The maximum is observed in women over 25, but under 29.

The average age of a woman giving birth is 28 years. For reference, in 1990 this parameter did not exceed 24. There are an average of 1.4 births per woman aged 15 to 49 years.

Gubkin, a city in the Belgorod region

Gubkin, a city (since 1955) in the Belgorod region.
90 thousand inhabitants (2001). Iron ore mining. The mining capital of the Black Earth Region, its history is connected with the development of the region of the Kursk magnetic anomaly. The first evidence of Kursk iron ores dates back to the beginning of the 18th century. On September 30, 1931, the first exploration and production mine of KMA was founded. On September 19, 1939, the settlement at the KMA mine was classified as a workers' settlement and named Gubkin. In May 1953, an enterprise for the extraction and processing of iron ore, the KMAruda plant, was created. An important stage in the development of the city was the construction of the Lebedinsky quarry, where open-pit mining of iron ore began for the first time in the USSR. Gubkin is a major scientific and cultural center of the Belgorod region. The city of Gubkin has been a sister city of Dzerzhinsky since 2001.

Gubkin city

Coat of arms of the city of Gubkin
By historical standards, the city of Gubkin is still very young; in 2010 it celebrated its 71st anniversary of its formation. It owes its appearance to the discovery of the richest iron ore deposits in the Kursk magnetic anomaly. Gubkin is rightly called the pearl of the KMA, its mining capital, because the history of the city cannot be separated from the history of the development of the entire Kursk-Belgorod iron ore basin.

In September 1931, the first exploration and exploitation mine of KMA was founded, and a settlement grew nearby, which in 1939, by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR, was classified as a workers' settlement and named in honor of Academician I.M. Gubkin, who led exploration work for 19 years in the KMA basin. The day the Decree was issued (September 19) is considered to be the city’s birthday.

The Great Patriotic War prevented further industrial development of the deposits. Purely peaceful people became soldiers. About 1,900 people from the young workers' village went to the front, and in total, almost 16,000 people from the region joined the ranks of the defenders of the Motherland, of whom 9,685 did not return from the battlefields. After the liberation, the village named after Gubkin presented a bleak picture. All buildings were destroyed almost to the ground, the mine was flooded, and most of the industrial and mining equipment was rendered completely unusable. But the most valuable thing remains - people’s faith in the speedy development of the KMA’s wealth.

Large-scale development of the KMA resources began in the 50s of the last century. In May 1953, on the basis of the KMA mine and two factories, the region’s first enterprise for the extraction and processing of iron ore, the KMA-ore plant, was created. Its formation and development contributed to the fact that on the site of a workers’ village a young mining town grew up, which, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of December 23, 1955, was classified as a city of regional subordination.

An important stage in its development was the construction of the Lebedinsky mine, where open-pit mining of iron ore began for the first time in the Soviet Union. Its construction was declared an All-Union Komsomol construction project, and over 5 thousand young men and women came to the young city on vouchers. The city grew at a rapid pace. On March 7, 1960, by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, Gubkin became a city of regional subordination.

The rapid growth of mining production and a significant increase in the urban population led to the restructuring of agriculture, its concentration and specialization. In 1965, the Gubkinsky district was formed, in which in subsequent years a lot of work was carried out on the construction of new agricultural complexes and processing enterprises. In the 70s, the Lebedinsky Mining and Processing Plant was built, which was subsequently listed twice in the Guinness Book of Records: as an enterprise developing a unique iron ore deposit (more than 20 billion tons) and having the world's largest quarry for the extraction of non-combustible minerals.

Palace of Culture "Forum"

Gubkin today is a modern beautiful city, one of the industrial centers of the Belgorod region with rich cultural and spiritual traditions and developed infrastructure. It is the administrative center of the Gubkinsky urban district, the total area of which is 152,662 hectares. Population – 120 thousand people. The basis of the territory's economy, along with the mining complex, is formed by such dynamically developing industries as construction, transport, communications, processing industry and agricultural enterprises.

Lazarev Square

Gubkin residents are rightfully proud of their clean, beautiful streets and squares, and landscaped neighborhood areas. This experience in the comprehensive improvement of the city and rural settlements, the construction of social and cultural facilities is widely studied and disseminated in the Belgorod region and beyond. Delegations from many cities of the Central Federal District and other regions of the Russian Federation come to get acquainted with the achievements of Gubkin residents.

Local governments carry out extensive and targeted work to improve the quality of life of the population. New socially significant facilities are put into operation every year. Over the past 14 years, 136 social and cultural facilities have been built and overhauled. These are hospitals, schools, houses of culture, sports facilities, buildings of various institutions, Orthodox churches. Many of them have no analogues in Russia in terms of the designs used during construction and reconstruction, the technologies used, modern materials and structures, and the level of equipment.

Transfiguration Cathedral. One of the largest newly built cathedrals in Russia.

“People must live with dignity,” is the main principle of the activities of the head of the administration of the Gubkinsky urban district, Anatoly Alekseevich Kretov. Fruitful work in all areas of the regional Program for improving the quality of life of the population, the creation of an effective system of local self-government bodies confirms that the leadership of the territory, through the comprehensive use of internal resources and constructive interaction with federal and regional authorities, is pursuing an effective socio-economic policy in the municipality, which contributes to the successful implementation of priority national projects and allows us to move forward towards improving the well-being of Gubkin residents.

New surgical building of the Central District Hospital

Successes in the socio-economic development and improvement of the city have been repeatedly awarded with various awards. Gubkin took second place in the All-Russian competition for the title “The Most Comfortable City in Russia” for two years in a row, and in 2003 became the winner of the competition in its category. In 2001, the “Best Managers of the New Era” Foundation awarded the “Face of Russia” diploma for high socio-economic indicators and exceptional achievements in the field of improvement, and awarded the territorial administration with a special prize in the nomination “For effective management and successful solution of the city’s socio-economic problems.” .

Family Institute

The population dynamics of the Belgorod region shows stable growth, which cannot be said about the number of cases of marriage. Family structure is changing rapidly. The number of civil marriages is increasing. In the age category from 16 to 29 years, 65% of men were recorded who were not married, and 52% of women who were not married. The marriage rate is 8.5 people per thousand inhabitants.

There is a decrease in the dynamics of divorces. The divorce rate is 4.4 per thousand applications. It turns out that every second married couple files for divorce. The age of men who choose family life is gradually increasing. According to statistics from employees of the Civil Registry Office and the Department of Social Protection of the Population of the Belgorod Region, their share reached 64%.

The number of stillborn children is about 60. Among the main causes, doctors identify birth asphyxia and intrauterine fetal development disorder. There is still a high percentage of abortions in the region. Every second pregnancy is terminated. But there has been a decline in abortions among first-time mothers. Their number decreased by about 5%.

Standard of living

The employees of the Department of Social Protection of the Population of the Belgorod Region are entrusted with the responsibility of implementing federal and local programs aimed at increasing the birth rate and improving the demographic situation in the region. Material and consulting assistance is provided to large families, single parents and persons raising disabled people and orphans.

The increase in the region's population is due to the migration flow, which partially compensates for the natural decline. Social protection employees are involved in the implementation of a program aimed at the social rehabilitation of immigrants from the former republics of the USSR. Priority is given to ethnic Russians coming from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

The effect of maternal capital encourages migrants to have children, which has a positive effect on the population of the Belgorod region. In recent years, the number of families coming from Ukraine has increased. In twelve months, about 3,000 people arrived from the neighboring country. From Uzbekistan 700, from Kazakhstan 1,300, from Kyrgyzstan 600.

There is a high level of migration activity between the population of the Belgorod and Kursk regions. Residents of the region continue to leave for populated areas of the Voronezh region and Moscow. About 2,000 people leave the region every year.
