Dagestan Lights

This city got its name due to a very unusual phenomenon. As a result of the earthquake in 1904, gas emissions occurred here that looked like torches. Soon, small businesses began to open in these places. The settlement began to develop slowly; the official founding date was 1914. The settlement acquired urban status only in 1991.

Dagestan Lights is the youngest city in the republic; it is a satellite of Derbent. There is a glass factory here; Molotov cocktails were supplied from here during the war. Today it is the largest enterprise in the city.

Seasons

Seasons, four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter) characterized by certain average temperatures. The period during which the Sun passes through one of these sectors is called the season. Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the Sun passes through the initial circle of declination and its right ascension is 0° (vernal equinox). Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the sun's right ascension is 90° (summer solstice). Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the sun's right ascension is 180° (autumnal equinox). The beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere is considered to be the winter solstice, when the direct ascension of the Sun is 270°... Next: Seasons.

Folk calendar about every day

Every day one season always replaces another and this determines a person’s way of life. In connection with this, a folk calendar was formed in which there were practically no nameless, unmarked days. Every day was special, had its own purpose. All this was determined by climate conditions and astrological phenomena.

A calendar is a system for counting periods of time. The first calendars arose a long time ago, in ancient times, because there was a need to measure time. The word calendar comes from the Latin words caleo - to proclaim and calendarium - debt book. This is due to the fact that in Ancient Rome the beginning of each month was especially proclaimed, and because it was customary to pay debts on the first day of the month. Different peoples counted time differently. Some calendars are based on the changing phases of the moon - lunar calendars; in others - the change of seasons - sunny; in others, the length of the year was coordinated with the change of seasons, and the counting of months was associated with the phases of the Moon. Such calendars are called lunisolar.

In Rus', the calendar was called a monthly calendar. Every day, the month book covered the entire year of peasant life, “describing” day by day, month after month, where each day had its own holidays or weekdays, customs and superstitions, traditions and rituals, natural signs and phenomena. The cyclical nature of the calendar is reminiscent of human life, where spring is youth, summer is heyday, autumn is the time of harvesting fruits (it’s good if there are some, otherwise you can live your life without collecting fruits), winter is the time of wisdom and peace. This cyclicality and rhythm determined the way of life of the farmer. The folk calendar was an agricultural calendar, which was reflected in the names of the months, folk signs, rituals and customs. Even the determination of the timing and duration of the seasons is associated with real climatic conditions. Hence the discrepancy between the names of the months in different areas...

List of cities in Dagestan - brief information

Each of the major Dagestan cities has its own interesting history. Not all of them have at least a hundred years of city status, but the population of any of them contributed to the history and prosperity of the republic. It's worth getting to know them better.

• Makhachkala is the capital, political and economic center.

The largest city in the Republic of Dagestan, it is home to about 588,000 people. Once upon a time there was Tarki-aul on this place, which served as a trading hub where caravans heading to Derbent stopped. The future city was founded in 1844 as the Petrovskoye fortress, and a little later this village was renamed Petrovsk.

Rapid development began at the end of the 19th century with the construction of the railway from Rostov to Baku. In 1914, there were already several large industrial enterprises here, including an oil refinery. The city's population grew and its infrastructure became more and more developed. But real prosperity began only under Soviet rule.

In 1921, Petrovsk received a new name - Makhachkala, in honor of Makhach Dakhadayev, a local revolutionary. Since the 30s, rapid development of both industry and the social sphere began here. A real water supply system appeared, streets and new neighborhoods were built up, hospitals and schools were built, and even defense enterprises appeared.

With the beginning of perestroika, the economy of Dagestan began to decline, many enterprises were closed, and jobs were reduced. At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, radicals of extremist movements of Islam began to penetrate here; the capital of the republic had a very difficult time during these years. However, with the arrival of the new city government, improvement began again. Moreover, at the beginning of the 21st century, Makhachkala was recognized as one of the most comfortable Russian cities. The Dagestan capital is considered one of the important scientific and economic centers of the North Caucasus.

• Derbent is the ancient and southernmost city of Russia.

It is one of the most ancient cities in the world. It has been known since the 3rd century BC, as many ancient sources mention it. Initially, Derbent was one of the fortresses that belonged to Persia and was considered a major military center. In the 18th century, Peter the Great came here.

Many studies have been written about the history of Derbent; it is so rich and diverse that it can be told for a long time. The city was under the rule of the Seljuks, Tamerlane himself, and the Safavid dynasty. And in 1813 it finally became part of the Russian Empire.

Derbent is one of the cities in the southern territorial district of Dagestan. Today its population reaches more than 120 thousand people. People of various nationalities live here. There are food industry enterprises and as many as 4 theaters. On September 19, 2015, the city officially celebrated its 2000th anniversary. Such a respectable age does not make it old - the city still looks young and is developing.

• Khasavyurt is the patrimony of the Kumyk prince Khasav.

Until 1847, this settlement was called Yaryksuw (after the name of the local river Yaryksu). The aul was on the path of the khan's raids and was destroyed several times. Having arrived in the Caucasus, the Russians built a fortress here, and the population was actively engaged in agriculture. The agricultural sector is still developed in Khasavyurt today, but many food industry enterprises are closed. The population is 138 thousand people. The city gained new fame in 1996, when the famous Khasavyurt agreements were signed here.

• Dagestan Lights.

This unusual name was given to the city by gas flares - gas emissions from underground as a result of an earthquake. This happened in 1904, and a few years later small private enterprises began to appear in these places. Gradually a settlement arose; the official date is considered to be 1914. The village was granted city status only in 1991.

Thus, Dagestan Lights is the youngest city in the Republic of Dagestan; it is still a satellite of Derbent. It is interesting that during the Great Patriotic War the local glass factory produced Molotov cocktails as a product. This same enterprise today is the largest and most famous in the city. The population of Dagestan Ogni is about 30 thousand people.

• Buynaksk

Another one of the oldest Dagestan cities, founded as an aul at the end of the 14th century. In 1832, the Russian fortress Temir-Khan-Shura arose here. During the Civil War, this settlement was the capital of the Mountain Republic.

The city received its modern name in honor of the revolutionary Ullubiy Buynaksky. About 64,000 residents live here; like other cities in Dagestan, it is international.

• Kizlyar is a famous center of gunsmiths.

It is believed that Kizlyar was founded in 1735, but long before this date there was an ancient settlement here, one of the Arab fortresses. The starting point for the city was given by General-in-Chief V. Ya. Levashov, who built a Russian fortification here. At the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, Kizlyar was a very famous shopping center.

Currently, the agricultural industry is developed here, with several wine and cognac enterprises operating. Initially, the population was predominantly Russian, but today the majority here are representatives of Dagestan nationalities. Number of people: 48,000 people.

World-famous Kizlyar knives brought glory to the city. There are large arms factories in the city. Among them are LLC PP Kizlyar, Poisk, Berkut, etc. A huge selection of products from Kizlyar craftsmen is presented in the catalog of the KavkazSuvenir store.

• Izberbash.

This is a young city, founded in 1932, in which the oil industry is mainly developed. It received its status in 1949. It was the oil workers who rebuilt Izberbash and can be proud that in 2005 it was recognized as the most comfortable Russian city.

• Kizilyurt.

Another of the cities of the republic that arose in the 19th century. There was a fortification of local residents here, on the basis of which a settlement subsequently arose. Currently, about 36 thousand people live here, and the city thrives due to many enterprises in the construction sector, as well as tourism.

• Yuzhno-Sukhumsk.

This small town has a population of just over 10 thousand, and it received city status in 1988 (before that it was considered a village). The main direction of the economy is oil production. The favorable location of the city between Kizlyar and Stavropol allows the trade sector to develop.

• Kaspiysk is the base of the Anzhi football club.

It is located next to Makhachkala and is its satellite city; the only airport in the Republic of Dagestan is located here. Until 1947, it was the village of Dvigatelstroy, which already speaks of the direction of industry that developed here. In 2015, by order of the Government of the Russian Federation, it was included in the list of single-industry towns with the most difficult socio-economic situation. The population of Kaspiysk is more than 110,000 people.

Fishing calendar for every day

The fishing calendar should not be taken as an absolutely indisputable truth. Fish biting is greatly influenced by a whole range of natural factors, as well as the influence on the nature of man himself. You must not forget that the fish’s bite depends and is determined not only by the calendar dates and biological cycles of their life, reflected in the calendar, but also, no less, by the state of their habitat; the bite also depends on weather conditions: air and water temperatures, cloudiness, wind direction and strength, etc...

Derbent

Derbent is a real pearl of the Caucasus. Having been here, you can see how beautiful the cities in Dagestan can be; they have a unique architecture that emanates from antiquity. The combination of an interesting culture with stunning nature makes this republic very promising in terms of tourism. Impressive photos of a city in Dagestan called Derbent are proof of this.

Derbent is a very interesting city from a historical perspective. It is located in the so-called Caspian Passage. This is the place where the Caucasus Mountains are closest to the Caspian Sea, leaving only a small strip of plain 3 kilometers wide. It is warm here, the average temperature is +13 degrees, there are a lot of sunny days throughout the year. This city is one of the largest in terms of population, it ranks second in the Republic of Dagestan after the capital - Makhachkala.

It is believed that this is one of the oldest cities in the world. Its history has been going on for 5 thousand years, although in modern times it is officially considered to be only 2 thousand years. There is controversy about this. In Soviet times, it was assumed that the city was founded 2,700 years ago, as it was mentioned in ancient sources of the 8th-7th centuries BC. This point of view would be considered official if traces of settlements of the Early Bronze Age had not been found here, and their age is precisely 5 thousand years. It is officially accepted that the city is only 2000 years old, however, even this figure is impressive.

The city's name is Persian and means "Closed Gate". It can be assumed that these gates were closed to the encroaching conquerors. In ancient sources, these places had a similar name - “Caspian Gate”. This city was a strategically important point; many sought to take it under their power. At one time, the Scythians visited here, as well as the Cimmerians, Sarmatians, Huns, Parthians, Khazars and Turks. The Romans and Greeks fought for the Caspian Gate. The city was at one time under the rule of Tamerlane. In 1813 it became part of the Russian Empire. Currently, 120 thousand people live in the city, it is gradually improving and developing.

Orthodox calendar about every day

Orthodox calendar: Orthodox, Church and Christian holidays.

The church year is an alternation of weekdays and holidays. On weekdays, a person is called to work “by the sweat of his brow to earn his bread.” Holidays are given in order to feel liberation, to rise above the bustle and routine of the world, to feel involved in the highest of worlds, “where there are no illnesses, sorrows and sighs, but endless life.” Since ancient times, holiday cycles have been associated with the seasons. The pagans associated them with the worship of the forces of nature, the cult of which in the Old Testament was replaced by gratitude to the Creator for the universe. And although the connection between holidays and the seasons has not completely lost its power, since God is present in everything, in the plant and animal world, in human works, it nevertheless faded into the background, giving way to a spiritual foundation built on the Sacred Scriptures. The history of Orthodox holidays dates back to the times of the Old Testament. Each of the Orthodox holidays is dedicated to the remembrance of the most important events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God, as well as the memory of saints...

Russian folk calendar for every day

The word “sign” comes from the word “notice”, i.e. observe. As a result of observing what happens around a person every day, he accumulates life experience. This knowledge was passed down from generation to generation, carefully preserved and people trusted it as a sacred book. Many signs have come to us from the depths of centuries without losing their knowledge. Each of us is free to choose: to dismiss all this as an absurd superstition or to take a closer look at the signs and take the centuries-old experience of generations more seriously. Most of us, when taking exams, ask them to scold them, boasting about some kind of good fortune or luck, spit so as not to jinx them or knock on wood, take a detour if a black cat crossed the road, are afraid of the number 13 and much more. And who among us does not have lucky things, numbers? Who has never resorted to the help of fate at least once in their life, who has not believed in secrets? It’s as if everything connected with signs is hidden somewhere deep in our subconscious. Often we remember them mechanically, unconsciously, or just as a joke. But, undoubtedly, the signs contain a lot of accurate knowledge and practical wisdom of our ancestors. They cover all the characteristic, often difficult to perceive, natural phenomena. Signs have preserved a lot of what was in old folk holidays and customs; they help predict the weather, grow crops... Next: Folk signs...

Makhachkala

This is the largest city in the Republic of Dagestan, its population is 588 thousand people. It is also the capital, political and economic center.

Once upon a time, Tarki-aul was located on the site of the city; caravans that went to the ancient city of Derbent stopped here. In 1844, the Petrovskoye fortress appeared here, and then the settlement received the name Petrovsk. The development of the city began at the end of the 19th century, when a railway was built from Rostov to the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku. Industrial enterprises began to appear here, and the population gradually grew. In 1921, the city acquired a new name - Makhachkala, the name comes from the name of the local revolutionary Makhach Dakhadayev.

In the 30s the city began to develop rapidly. Houses were built, streets were developed, water supply, hospitals and schools appeared, and in some places defense enterprises appeared. With the beginning of the 90s, the economy declined. Businesses were closing. In addition, radicals of extremist Islamic movements began to appear here. Despite this difficult period, the city is gradually being restored and improved. Today it is one of the most significant cities in the Caucasus; it is a scientific and economic center.

Prayer book, Orthodox prayers for every day

Prayer is the most powerful means for healing all illnesses - both physical and mental. Prayers can be laudatory or grateful, petitionary and repentant. If we have offended God, sinned, we must ask Him for forgiveness, that is, repent. Such prayers are called repentant prayers. If everything is fine with us, if we and our loved ones are healthy and prosperous, if we have a place to live, something to wear, something to eat, we must glorify and thank God for this. Such prayers are called praise or thanksgiving. If some misfortune, illness, trouble or need happens, you need to ask God for help. Such prayers are called petitionary... Next: Orthodox prayers...

Izberbash

This city is also young, founded in 1932, although the archives contain information about the existence of an earlier settlement of Ulu-Izbar on this site. It is mentioned in the camp journal of Emperor Peter I, dated 1722.

Izberbash appeared thanks to the development of the oil industry here. Oil production takes place on the shelf of the Caspian Sea, the city itself is located on the coast 65 kilometers from the capital of the republic. It was built by oil workers and is recognized as the most comfortable in the country. In addition to oil production enterprises, there is a radio plant, a clothing factory, two confectionery factories, a city dairy factory, and a bakery. Nectars and juices are produced, and there is also wine and cognac. Notable is Mount Pushkin-Tau, whose outline resembles the profile of a famous classic.

Zodiac, astrological, eastern calendar. Zodiac signs

In ancient times, to establish the calendar, priests used knowledge of the positions of all the planets. Before the reform of Peter 1, the New Year was celebrated on the Day of the Autumn Equinox. On this day, according to ancient legend, the most peaceful treaty was concluded between the Great Race (ancient Slavs) and the Great Dragon (ancient Chinese) and it was approximately 7518 years ago... For the ancient Slavs, the calendar month corresponded to the lunar cycle from new moon to new moon, taking into account such Thus, the relationship of the entire annual cycle with astronomical and natural phenomena. There was no coherent calendar system. The main natural phenomena are still considered to this day to be the days of the solar equinox and solstice - the Slavic holidays Maslenitsa, Kupala, Ovsen and Kolyada. But during the time of Peter 1, all ancient Slavic calendars were abolished and a new Western European calendar from the Nativity of Christ (Julian calendar) was introduced, while the beginning of the calendar was moved to January 1. The Julian calendar (old style) did not take leap days into account and accumulated one extra day every 128 years. After the October Revolution in 1918, the Gregorian calendar (new style) was introduced in Russia, according to which an amendment of 13 days was introduced. The calendar of the ancient Slavs was based on two planets: the Sun and the Moon. And now they don’t use anything at all. The calendar has become static. There is no such thing as the calendar, it turns out, resting on some planet. Nobody even knows about it. There are just some standard numbers, there are months and holidays. The calendar is based on the Sun and Moon. Why is this so? Because these two luminaries influence the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. And these two luminaries create the atmosphere on the planet. From here the calendar is built... Next: Astrological calendar...

Sights of Derbent

The main attraction of Derbent is its fortress walls. The Derbent fortress was built by the Persians in the 6th century under Shah Khosrow I. It was erected to protect against the Khazars and other nomadic peoples from the north. For construction, instead of the previous masonry, more reliable rough stone blocks were used.

The Naryn-Kala citadel is located on a hill 3 kilometers from the sea. Two walls stretch from it to the banks. In the east, the fortress wall rushes to the sea for almost half a kilometer. The Derbent fortress was included in the UNESCO list in 2003. Inside the fortress there is also a very ancient church, which miraculously survived from the 5th century.

The Juma Mosque is the main religious building of Derbent, and the whole of Dagestan. In addition, this is the oldest mosque in Russia; for a long time it was the only one in the southern part of Dagestan. Besides it, there are several other ancient mosques. These are the Minaret-mosque, Bala-mosque, Kirkhlyar-mosque.

The museums in the city may also be of interest. For example, the unusual Carpet Museum is located in an Armenian church. In Dagestan, carpets are still traditionally woven by hand; you can see beautiful ornaments and patterns on them.

Marriages and divorces

If we briefly describe the statistics on divorces, the following data is given for the indicated population:

• In 2021, the number of marriages in the Republic of Dagestan amounted to 14,748 units, which was 108% as a percentage of the previous period.
• In 2021, during the month of July, 6,079 marriages were concluded, which is slightly lower than in the previous reporting period. But the decrease in the number of newly registered families is most likely due to isolation measures taken during the spread of coronavirus infection.

The final statistics for 2021 can clearly show how the figures for the 2 reporting periods compare.

Gender and age

Considering the distribution of residents of Dagestan by gender, it is worth noting that per 1000 men there have been the following number of women over the past 15 years:

• 2005 – 1070 female residents.
• 2012 – 1080.
• 2015 – 1077.
• 2017 – 1074.

As can be seen from the data presented, this number has remained virtually unchanged throughout the 2000s. But as for age, it is interesting not only what the number of residents is in the republic, but also how it is distributed among different age groups for 2021:

• From 0 to 14 years – about 25%.
• From 15 to 29 years old – 26.1%.
• From 30 to 44 years old – 21.2%.
• From 44 to 54 years old – 18.9%.
• From 55 to 69 years old – 14.7%.
• Over 70 years old – slightly more than 4%.

Migration

As for migration flows, here is the data that can be given:

• For 2021, the total number of arrivals was 45,686.
• But those who left during the same calendar period amounted to 56,694.
• Thus, speaking about migration growth, it is worth noting that the population of the Republic of Dagestan decreased by 11,008 people.

If we consider the same indicator for 2021 and how much of the population has arrived, departed, and lives in Dagestan today, then here are the indicators that can be provided:

• The number of arrivals was 47,059 people.
• The number of departures is 53,363.
• Thus, in this calendar period, migration growth was negative, reducing the number by 6,304 citizens.

The emergence of this picture suggests that on average the population decreases by 10,000 people per year and represents a negative trend in terms of growth over the past 2 years. This indicates that people are trying to change, in the vast majority of cases, their material and social situation. After all, the population migrates most within the republic and on an interregional scale. This figure was more than 90%. But international migration is presented by the following figures for the same 2 years:

• In 2021, 1,279 people left for other countries.
• In 2021 – 3,010 citizens.

Buynaksk

One of the oldest cities in Dagestan. In its place, at the end of the 14th century, an aul arose, at the same time in 1386, the camp of Tamerlane’s army was located here. Almost 3.5 centuries later, in 1832, a Russian fortification was founded here with the former name Temir-Khan-Shura (Lake Tamerlane). This name remained until 1922. During the civil war, this settlement was the capital of the republic of the mountains. The modern name comes from the surname of the revolutionary Buinaksky. At the end of the twentieth century, sad events took place here, namely an earthquake in 1970 and a terrorist attack in 1999, when a residential building was blown up.

Currently, 64 thousand people live here, Buinaksk is multinational. It is included in the list of cities in Dagestan that belong to the central district. The nature in the vicinity of the city is very beautiful; the Shura-Ozen mountain river flows nearby. The climate is mild, so there are sanatoriums for tuberculosis patients here.

Historical features

The resulting ethnic diversity is a consequence of the historical development of the region. Dagestan has always been divided into established historical and geographical regions. The following regions are separately distinguished in this republic: Avaria, Akusha-Dargo, Agul, Andria, Dido, Aukh, Kaitag, Lakia, Kumykia, Salatavia, Lekia, Tabarstan and others.

The territory of modern Dagestan was inhabited a million years ago. As a result of wars at the beginning of the last millennium, these places fell under the control of the Khazars, and after that they were occupied by the Tatar-Mongols.

The second Russian-Persian War also left its mark on development. In the 16th century, the Russians founded the city of Port Petrovsk (now Makhachkala) and formally annexed the entire coast of the Caspian Sea to the territory of the Russian Empire.

By the 17th century, Dagestan became a Caucasian province. But in the middle of the century, an uprising took place in this territory, which developed into the Caucasian War. As a result, the Dagestan region was formed as part of the Empire under military-people's control.

During Soviet times, the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was created. In 1993 it became the Republic of Dagestan.
