The monument to the heroes of the revolution was moved to Karasuk for the fourth time

Story

The founding date of Karasuk is considered to be the emergence of the village during the construction of the Altai Railway in 1912.

The first peg for construction was driven in in May 1912, not far from the place where the Karasuk-1 station is located. Construction of the railway on the Tatarskaya - Slavgorod section began in 1913. By the summer of 1916, the roadbed was brought to Karasuk, and already in January 1917, the regular movement of a goods and passenger train was announced, which arrived in Karasuk once a week. The station got its name from the Karasuk River, near which it was located.

The station developed quite quickly. Initially as part of the Chernokuryinskaya volost, then the village council. Until 1933, on the territory of the Novosibirsk region there were three settlements called Karasuk. Since 1929, the village of Cherno-Kurya has been renamed Karasuk. Accordingly, the area called Chernokuryinsky became Karasuksky. Until 1933, another regional center, the village of Krasnozersky, was also called Karasuk. After being renamed Karasuk, Black Kurya remained the center of the district for several years, and then it moved closer to the railway station.

In 1943, a single workers' settlement with a single name was formed. On June 3, 1954, in accordance with the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the workers' village of Karasuk was transformed into a city of regional subordination.

In 1960-1980, the city's infrastructure developed mainly due to the railway, which was and remains the city-forming center.

Dear dear Karasuk

We have a lot of achievements in culture and sports and we have a lot to do to take children away from basements and porches, from television, and to develop them. A large gym, excellent halls for boxing and hand-to-hand combat. Four years of training and we already have our first masters of sports in boxing. Young hockey players, track and field athletes, volleyball players, and skiers adequately represent the region at regional competitions. Our pride is the Sadko swimming pool. Today, according to schedule, we transport children from kindergartens and schools to classes from all villages of the region. This object is important not only for the city, but for the entire region. They have their own athletes, swimming sections and, most importantly, people have a need for such leisure; families go, swim, and relax.

The Children's Art School in 2005, and the Children's Music School in 2008 were included in the Golden Book of Culture of the Novosibirsk Region. The performing level of the folk ensemble "Slobodka" of the Children's Art School and the children's variety orchestra "Bis Band" of the music school is such that they are known and invited to give concerts abroad. Creative groups of the music school and art school constantly participate in inter-district, regional, and all-Russian competitions. They were already in Italy, France, Macedonia. This requires some financial support, but we are going for it. Children gifted in the field of culture and sports receive scholarships from the head of the district and city. We are starting the construction of a new regional House of Culture, with a music school and library housed in it. There is a theater in the city called “On the Outskirts”. They were helped with the premises, and soon groups from other places will come to our premieres. Now the team tours a lot, they have transport. General education schools work in line with the national project. There are problems with schools in rural areas, the number of students is decreasing, the status of schools is changing, small schools are being closed, but not by choice. All kindergartens in our villages are operating, they are not fully loaded, we are merging them with schools, we are transferring primary care centers there, preserving the social sphere of the village.

In addition to the technical lyceum, in the city there will be a gymnasium with a humanitarian focus, there is a school with in-depth study of chemistry and biology, where future doctors and agricultural workers study. Another one focuses on patriotic education and sports training, but we need to train future customs officers and border guards. Parents and children now have the opportunity to choose a school based on the child's abilities. Our task is to create good, equal conditions in all educational institutions, to ensure that personnel problems are resolved, and that the material base corresponds to the times. 40% of the region's population lives in villages. All-Russian problems in agriculture have not spared us either. One of the acute problems now is the shortage of machine operators; many people from the village leave to work. The reason is low salaries. The district was allocated 13 million to compensate for natural and climatic conditions, but this is not enough. Problem areas need government assistance. In the southernmost arid part of the region, the Studenovskoye joint-stock company is located, and its economy is doing well. The farm works, develops, acquires equipment, livestock, pays wages and taxes. Farming is carried out stably at CJSC Kalinovskoye, CJSC Agrofirma Morozovskaya, CJSC Shilovo-Kurinskoye. And this is an example of people not giving up, working on the land, producing products. And they live, and our task is to help. Real concern for people will give much more than any prohibitions and empty promises. We try to live by this principle in our area.
