Travel to Rubtsovsk - the third largest city in the Altai Territory

General information and history of Rubtsovsk

This wonderful city is located among the steppes in the Altai region.
Despite its relative proximity to Kazakhstan, Rubtsovsk, located on the banks of the Alei River, is not considered a border town. Initially, in 1886, this city was founded as a village and only in 1892 residents were allowed to use the land, so the history of the city dates back to this year. It was founded by Mikhail Rubtsov, in whose honor the city was subsequently named.

The formation of the city and its development occurred during the Second World War, when evacuated enterprises were located on its territory. The development of the city did not stop even after its completion. Its economy grew until the collapse of the Soviet Union, after which its performance fell and has not increased to this day.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms of Rubtsovsk is presented in the form of a French shield. In the middle, against the background of a sun circle, is a part of a gear, symbolizing mechanical engineering. Inside the circle is a scroll with the number “1892” (the year the city was founded). There is a blue ribbon running diagonally to the lower left corner, representing the Alei River. In the upper part, against the background of the blue sky, is a falcon, common in these parts. A bird spreading its wings soars over a field of ripe wheat. There is a row-crop tractor on it. Wheeled vehicles characterize the products of the urban planning enterprise. The green stripe along the symbolic river signifies fertility, life, nature. At the bottom, near three ripe ears of wheat, “Rubtsovsk” is written in red letters.

The artistic composition was approved by Resolution of the Rubtsovsk City Council of Deputies dated July 20, 2002 No. 363.

Climate and ecology

Rubtsovsk is characterized by a continental climate, just like most cities located on continents. In January, the thermometer rarely shows temperatures below 16.3 degrees, and in July it almost never rises above 21 degrees, but most days of the year are sunny. There is not much precipitation, on average about 335 mm.

The air in Rubtsovsk is very polluted. This is due to the large amount of dust and harmful substances that are emitted into the air every day by heating stations, various enterprises and vehicles. A large number of suspended particles were released into the air by Alttrak OJSC, a machine-building company. It should also be noted that in various parts of the city there is an excess of sulfur dioxide, the main source of which is the locomotive depot.

Water also suffers. Wastewater from MP Vodokanal, OJSC Alttracom, and wastewater treatment plants is discharged into the Alei River; the WWTP MP Vodokanal also pollutes the river below the city limits. Another factor that negatively affects the environment is the tests carried out at the Semipalatinsk test site, which caused radioactive contamination.

Population of Rubtsovsk

According to statistics at the beginning of 2014, 147,495 people lived in Rubtsovsk. In 2009, the number of births increased by 8.5%, amounting to 1,655 people, and the number of deaths was 4% less than in 2008, amounting to 2,355 people. Infant mortality also decreased by as much as 14.3%, which was 14.5 per 1000 people, while in 2008 this figure was 17.9 people. The population in Rubtsovsk is declining, but not at the same rate as previously noted.

Also in 2009, 687 people left Rubtsovsk, which is 229 people less than in 2008. Before 2008, there was an outflow of population from the city, and since 2009 there has been an increase in migration. Since 2009, 2,585 people have arrived in the city, and 1,899 have left. In recent years, the number of marriages has increased and the number of divorces has decreased, now there are 762 divorces for every 1,342.

Rubtsovsk, like many small provincial towns in Russia and neighboring countries, is currently experiencing difficult times. This test has been going on for about 20 years, since the Union collapsed. The fact is that the main infrastructure of the city and revenues to the local budget were generated by agricultural engineering factories, which were also the main source of employment for the city’s population.

With the collapse of the USSR, all production threads and connections with suppliers and consumers were gradually destroyed. The decline in agriculture also played a significant role. Now out of five factories, only one is operating at a quarter of its capacity. What saved him was that he specialized in producing products for the military industry.

All these factors naturally affect the moral and psychological climate in the city; it is difficult to imagine that many thousands of people suddenly found themselves without work, and as a consequence - a crime situation and nervousness in the city. But this is a separate topic.

Districts and real estate of Rubtsovsk

The city is relatively small, with a total area of ​​8,325 hectares and consists of a central part where administrative and cultural and entertainment centers are located, as well as numerous retail outlets and a central market.

Previously, when all the city's enterprises were operating, the districts were divided according to factory territories:

• ATZ region (Altai Tractor Plant) - the largest plant in its time not only in Siberia, but also in the country;
• AZTE district (Altai Tractor Electrical Equipment Plant) is an equally well-known enterprise, also an award-bearing and right-flank plant in its industry;
• ASM (Altai Agricultural Machinery Plant)

As in any city, in Rubtsovsk there are districts under unofficial names that have been around for decades and it seems that other names will no longer be suitable and will not reflect the essence and originality of the district.

Below the Kulatsky village, where wealthy people settled at the founding of the city, private buildings are concentrated in this area. Otorvanovka, Kopay - a city, Bermuda - these are the so-called slums, where at all times these areas were distinguished by a special crime situation.

There is a large concentration of the private sector in the western and southwestern (Garden - City) parts of the city. Previously, it was very difficult to get to the city center, transport was irregular and during rush hours people traveled to work on overcrowded buses. Now the situation has changed, minibuses have appeared, getting to the center has become much easier, and passenger traffic has decreased due to the closure of factories.

There is an area in the city called “houses”. His story is interesting. In the area of ​​the RMZ plant (Rubtsovsky Machine-Building Plant), which specialized in the defense industry, they used to build prefabricated panel houses, as there was an acute shortage of housing for factory workers. In this way, the problem was partially solved, but the quality of housing left much to be desired. The housing did not in any way correspond to the climatic conditions of Siberia, so all the buildings were eventually demolished and built up with new modern houses. And the name of the area remained in the history of the city.

Housing prices in the city differ slightly compared to large cities, where the difference in prices across regions is noticeable. But in the level of our city this difference is also significant. In the city center, the price for a two-room apartment ranges from 700,000 rubles. up to 1.5 million depending on the layout, number of floors of the apartment, and the condition of the housing. On the outskirts of the city, the cost of real estate decreases by about 150 - 200 thousand. In the private sector, house prices also range from 700,000 to 3 million rubles. With such a gap in value, the area and condition, amenities and living space of the house are taken into account.

The outskirts of the city are being intensively built with cottages. The wealthiest citizens build housing that is comparable to a real work of art, while the middle class builds more modestly, but tastefully. Prices for such buildings are an order of magnitude higher than city apartments and are already calculated at about 2 - 5 million rubles and more.

Despite the difficulties, the city lives, raises talented people, develops and transforms into a modern cultural metropolis. Residents of Rubtsovsk believe in its future and selflessly love their city.

City infrastructure

In Rubtsovsk, there is the following system for the provision of public services, according to which the organization supplying resources concludes contracts with those who perform the services. However, when the calculation occurs, a lot of problems arise for the consumed thermal resources. Heating networks make calculations taking into account the volume of services, based on the performance of a common house appliance, and if there is none, then based on the consumption standard established by the local government.

While management companies determine the amount of energy supplied using individual meters or according to the standard and do not take into account the general building meter. As a result, in those houses in which the meter is not installed, a significant difference appears, and, consequently, a debt to the one who supplies the resource. That is why all residents of apartment buildings that have meters, and do not have a common building meter, will have to pay the debt issued by service providers. In this case, it is useless to go to court, because as practice has shown, all such processes are resolved in favor of service providers.

There are trolleybuses, buses and minibuses in Rubtsovsk; in addition to public transport, there are taxis in Rubtsovsk. The Barnaul-Semipalatinsk railway line and the A 349 highway also pass through the city.

There are 58 municipal educational institutions and 8 institutions of regional significance in Rubtsovsk. Every year, all institutions are inspected by a commission that checks the readiness of municipal institutions for the academic year. Members of the commission carefully inspect all premises to determine their suitability for receiving children. Every year the budget allocates funds for cosmetic repairs and the purchase of new equipment for educational institutions. Parents are also involved in the improvement of schools and kindergartens: they not only help make repairs, but also improve the territory.

Enterprises and work in Rubtsovsk

In Soviet times, enterprises in Rubtsovsk flourished, but now many of them have either closed, are idle, or are only partially operational. However, the city has preserved an engineering plant that offers many services: from development to manufacturing and repair. The plant is one of the leading factories in the Altai Territory and provides many jobs to the urban population.

Also in the city there is OJSC "Melnik", which produces flour products, which allows the Rubtsovsky bakery to work properly, because bread is always bought, which means there are always jobs there.

As in any city, there is a meat processing plant in Rubtsovsk, which provides the urban population not only with dry-cured meat, but also with other types of products. In Rubtsovsk there are plenty of jobs not only at state-owned enterprises, but also at private ones. Most residents work hard at state-owned enterprises, where, in addition to a stable salary, there is a social package that, as a rule, is not provided by private organizations.

Industry on the map of Rubtsovsk

Today Rubtsovsk is rightfully considered the center of industry in the southwestern territory of the Altai Territory. Several largest industrial plants and factories operate here, producing equipment for soil cultivation, spare parts for trains, special purpose mechanical engineering, agricultural engineering and various metal products, etc. To find a suitable address, you need to use a map with house numbers, or use online search.

To get the address, you need to type the following data in the search window - prospectus (highway, highway, etc.), as well as the house number and click “Find”. In addition, in the territorial area of ​​Rubtsovsk there are factories producing food and light products. Also, passenger and freight transportation, as well as food services for residents and the service sector are well developed here.

Crime

Rubtsovsk is not a crime-ridden city. Of course, like in any other city, there are thefts, robberies, and even murders. The only truly terrible case was the murder in the Omut cafe-bar, when two friends were beaten. One friend was beaten on the head by five people, and the other was held. Nobody tried to help the guys: neither the bar staff nor the visitors. They released the second only after the first stopped breathing and ran away. The ambulance refused to respond to this call. A friend tried to take the beaten man to the hospital himself in a taxi, but the taxi drivers, seeing his bloody clothes, refused him. The guy had to run to the police station and only after that the ambulance arrived. The beaten guy underwent surgery on his skull and fell into a coma. On the third day he was gone, and those who beat him were released on their own recognizance.

This murder still worries local residents, especially since a year before, a similar murder was committed, but not with such cruelty. The only thing that scares the city authorities is the growing juvenile crime. Every year, criminals become younger and crimes become more significant.
