Ryazhsky district

- administrative-territorial unit (district) and municipal formation (municipal district) in the south of the Ryazan region.

The administrative center is the city of Ryazhsk.

Brief historical background

The city of Ryazhsk arose in the north of the long-known Ryassky field as a fortified post that controlled the portage connecting the watersheds of the Oka and Don river basins.
Small boats, plows, and canoes were dragged along the drag on wheels from the river. Khupty to the river Stanovaya Ryasa - a tributary of the river. Voronezh. They also exported furs for trade, bread, wax, and honey. In 1502, Grand Duke Ivan III, sending the Turkish ambassador to his homeland from Moscow by water, gave the order: “From old Ryazan, he should go up Proneya, and from Pronya to Pranov, and from Pranova, Khuptoy up to the portage to the Ryassky field ... and I will transport him to the Ryassky field field to the river to Ryasa...” Based on this message, historians date the first mention of Ryazhsk to 1502 and count its age from there. Experts in toponymy, in the past - D.I. Ilovaisky, modern - E.M. Murzaev, V.A. Nikonov is considered the most acceptable version of the origin of the name of the city of Ryazhsk on behalf of the Ryasa River, Ryassky Field. And in documents of the 16th and 17th centuries the name of the city appears as Ryassk, Ryaskoy, Ryaskov. In the powerful defensive system of the Moscow state of the 16th–17th centuries, the Great Zasechnaya Line, the guard stronghold fortress of Ryazhsk was of great importance, protecting Rus' from the attacks of the Crimean and Nogai Tatars. Zaseki Ryazhskaya Lipskaya, Ryazhskaya Pustotinskaya and Ryazhskaya Ranovskaya extended from the river. A couple in the east to the Skopinsky settlement in the west. These were complex systems of fortifications in which forest debris (zazaki), alternating with palisades, gouges, earthen ramparts and ditches, filled and closed the natural obstacles of the area - rivers, lakes, swamps, ravines.

The fact that Ryazhsk was a warrior city was recalled at the beginning of the 20th century. the settlements that existed around it: Streletskaya, Pushkarskaya, Yamskaya.

The ancient Ryazhsky fortress was located on a hillock, which to this day breaks off to the river. Hupte where the crimson ravine approaches it. In 1807, “the earthen fortress in the city had around 430 fathoms ... and a rampart that had all fallen off. Inside this fortress of a stone structure is a cathedral church with a bell tower, a chapel, a treasury with a storeroom. Wooden: mayor's house, public places and archive. The outskirts of this city lie on the same side as the fortress, along the Khupt River, and extend a mile and 50 fathoms in length; 2 versts wide... Crafts in this city: icon painting, tailoring, shoemaking, blacksmithing, candle making, plastering, carpentry and carpentry; There are no factories or factories...” At that time, noblemen, “officials”, merchants, townspeople, a church shelter, coachmen, full-time and retired soldiers, economic peasants, single-palace dwellers lived in Ryazhsk - a total of 3,162 people.

The population of the Ryazhskaya district participated in the first peasant war of 1606 - 1607. under the leadership of I.I. Bolotnikova. The Dutchman Isaac Massa, who lived in Moscow at that time on trade business, in “Brief news about the beginning and origin of modern wars and unrest in Muscovy that occurred before 1610,” names Ryazhsk among the cities that are “on the Tatar or Ryazan side” belonged to the rebels.

The Ryazhian lands were not spared the peasant war, the leader of which was S.T. Razin. Even after his execution, in 1675, the Razin Cossacks raised the peasants to fight near Kozlov, Ryazhsk, Tambov.

First quarter of the 18th century was marked for the Ryazhskaya district by such an event as the discovery of a coal deposit here. Near the village of Petrova, peasant Ivan Palitsyn discovered fossil coal and sent it to the Berg College. Having learned about this, Peter I in 1724 sent an expedition to Ryazhsk consisting of the “coal master” Yagon Nixon and his four assistants, specially ordered from England. In addition to foreigners in the village. Non-commissioned officer Andrei Maslov and the “miner of the government team” clerk Grigory Kapustin, who became famous at that time for his exploration of silver and iron ores and discovered coal on the Don, left Petrovo. The presence of coal deposits near Petrov was confirmed. The results of the expedition were reported to Peter I.

On October 7, 1724, he gave the Berg College a decree in which he demanded to continue the research. Peter I came up with a plan for the widespread exploitation of the open deposit for the needs of industry in the central regions of Russia and the use of rivers for the transportation of coal. Samples of the “sun stone” were delivered from the village. Petrovo to the Berg College. Thus began the development of the future Moscow Region coal basin.

Major events in the history of Ryazhsk were the participation of his regiment in the Italian and Swiss campaigns (1799) as part of Suvorov’s troops, the Patriotic War of 1812, and the war of 1877-1878, which brought liberation from the Ottoman yoke to the Bulgarian and other Slavic people. On Shipka, in the memorial complex, the names of officers and Ryazh soldiers who died in the Balkans are inscribed on marble slabs. It is impossible not to note such notable facts in the history of Ryazhsk as the establishment in 1828 of a hospital with 12 beds, the opening of a public library at the district school in 1860 using funds raised through donations.

In the 19th century, many people lived or stayed briefly in Ryazhsky district who left their mark on the destinies of Russia. To his homeland, in the village. Turovo, after serving his sentence in the fortress, the Decembrist Prince A.P. Meshchersky, a member of the Southern Society, was exiled. Another participant in the uprising of the Chernigov regiment, ensign of the 2nd musketeer company A.D. Belelyubsky, also lived in Ryazhsk.

In 1837 in the village. Egoldaevo was born I.P. Pozhalostin is the last outstanding representative of the Russian academic school of engraving. In 1868 he was awarded the title of class artist of the first degree, then academician. Having become a recognized master of reproduction engraving, I. P. Pozhalostin created works that deserved not only wide Russian, but also European fame.

In 1875-1877 at the station Ryazhsk temporarily served as senior clerk I.V. Michurin, transferred here from the station. Kozlov (now Michurinsk), later a great Russian breeder, talented experimenter, honorary member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, full member of the All-Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In memory of the fact that the great biologist-breeder worked in Ryazhsk, a memorial plaque was installed on the station building, and one of the streets in the city is named after him.

In 1826-1827 In Ryazhsk, the Butyrsky Infantry Regiment, in which the Russian poet A.I. Polezhaev served, was temporarily stationed. He taught Russian at the Ryazhsky district school at the beginning of the second half of the 19th century. A. I. Levitov is the author of stories and essays about the tragic destinies of the peasant and urban poor.

The development of capitalism left its mark on Ryazhsky district. In the second half of the 19th century. Intensive construction of railways began on its territory. On the Ryazan-Kozlov section, traffic opened in 1866. A year later, trains went from Ryazhsk to Morshansk, in 1870 - to Skopin. Ryazhsk became a major railway junction at the intersection of the Ryazan-Ural and Syzran-Ryazan railways.

The stratification of the peasantry proceeded quickly. Before the Great October Socialist Revolution, about 40% of peasant households in the county were poor. The peasants, trying to ease their lot, put forward economic demands to the authorities. There were unrest in the village, which especially manifested themselves during the years of the first Russian revolution.

In December 1917, bodies of Soviet power were created in Ryazhsk. V. s. Petrovo in January 1918, the first party cell in the region arose.

On July 17, 1918, the first issue of the newspaper “Our Way” was published - the organ of the Ryazhsky district executive committee and the district committee of the RCP (b). In August 1919, the Ryazh city organization of the RKSM was created.

In 1925, the volosts were enlarged. According to the administrative division approved by the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on August 31, 1925, the Ryazhsky district included 8 volosts: Andreevskaya, Boretskaya, Konoplinskaya, Korablinskaya, Ryazhskaya, Sapozhkovskaya, Saraevskaya, Ukholovskaya.

By resolution of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of June 19, 1926, the “List of cities in the Ryazan province” was approved. It included the city of Ryazhsk. Collectivization in the countryside took place in a very tense atmosphere. At a meeting of peasants. Bolshaya Aleshnya, at which the target figures for grain procurements were discussed, part of the wealthy peasants, as drawn up daily by the district executive committee, on September 30, 1929, created a whole row, dispersing the meeting ... ". Another report, dated November 17, 1929, says: “There were arson attacks on their farms by the fists of villagers. Tar with the words: “Burn and do not reach us or them.”

The tense situation was partly explained by excesses in the implementation of collectivization. The “Resolution of the Inter-Union Trade Union Conference of the Ryazhsky District on Correcting Distortions in Collective Farm Construction” stated that there was “a forced socialization of residential buildings, small livestock, poultry, non-marketable dairy cattle...”.

On January 14, 1929, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the RSFSR adopted a resolution “On the formation on the territory of the RSFSR of an administrative-territorial association of regional and regional subordination.” In development of this resolution, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of July 12, 1929 determined the composition of districts and districts of the Moscow region and their centers. In the Moscow region, 10 districts were formed, including the Ryazan district with the center in Ryazan. The Ryazhsky district became part of the Ryazan district. This resolution also approved the list of districts and their centers by district. On the basis of the Ryazhsky district, several districts were formed: Ryazhsky, Aleksandro-Nevsky, Korablinsky, Sapozhkovsky, Saraevsky, Ukholovsky.

On July 23, 1930, a resolution was adopted by the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR “On the liquidation of districts,” according to which the final deadline for the liquidation of districts was October 1, 1930. The resolution indicated that there would be no changes to the boundaries of districts and village councils. All districts of the Moscow region, including Ryazan, were liquidated.

By the resolution of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR of September 26, 1937 on the division of the Moscow region into Tula, Ryazan and Moscow, the Ryazan region was formed. Ryazhsky district became part of it.

During the Great Patriotic War, everything in the region was subordinated to the interests of the defense of the Motherland. Already on June 25, 1941, the Ryazhsky region was under martial law. At the end of November, Nazi units came close to the city of Ryazhsk and the city and its suburbs, by order of the garrison, went into a state of siege. A militia detachment numbering 3 thousand people was created. A fighter battalion from the militia, armed with rifles and Molotov cocktails, took up defense near the Shuvalovsky forestry, and on the Ryazhsk-Skopin road. Fascist aircraft bombed Ryazhsky station, Art. Sheremetyevo, railway station near the village. Poplevino. At this time, a train with the 3rd battalion of the 84th Marine Brigade arrived in Ryazhsk. By order of General S.N. Rudenko, who was later a Hero of the Soviet Union, an air marshal, who was in Ryazhsk, the battalion was sent to the city of Skopin and on the same day knocked out the Nazis from the city.

For active participation in the fight against the Nazi invaders, several thousand residents of Ryazhsk and the region were awarded orders and medals. In this glorious line there are also Heroes of the Soviet Union. Among them are A. G. Zhuravlev, S. I. Kolesnikov, P. M. Konyaev, S. N. Kostrov, I. M. Krasikov, S. N. Laputin, A. V. Larin, M. I.

At the brotherly cemetery of Ryazhsk there is an obelisk in honor of the fallen soldiers, on it are the words: “To you, who gave the flame of life for the sake of life on Earth.” Monuments and obelisks commemorating those killed in the Great Patriotic War were erected in the villages of the region.

By the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR dated April 5, 1956, 9 districts were liquidated in the region, including Zheltukhinsky, its territory became part of the Ryazhsky district.
