Aldan

(Yakut.
Aldan
) is a city in Russia, the administrative center of the Aldan region and the urban settlement “Aldan city” of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), 530 km south of Yakutsk. Railway station on the Amur-Yakutsk mainline. There is an airport in the city.

Story

The city’s birthday is considered to be June 19, 1924, when a free prospector, Yakut M.P. Tarabukin, panning for gold with a small artel, and Latvian V.P. Bertin, who headed the first labor artel, met at the Nezametny stream, where the mine was founded with the same name. On September 20, 1932, the village of Nezametny received city status, and in May 1939 it was renamed the city of Aldan.

In the 1990s, the city experienced a demographic crisis; However, in the period from 2000 to 2010, people began to come to the city again, commercial aviation and a railway station appeared. Also, between 2009 and 2010, the city began construction of an oil pipeline branch, which significantly influenced the economic development of the city.

Etymology

It arose as a mining village at a large gold deposit discovered in 1923, and was named Nezametny. In 1939 it was transformed into a city and was renamed Aldan from the hydronym of the Aldan River. The question of the etymology of the hydronym continues to be controversial. According to E.M. Pospelov, the widespread version of the origin from the Turkic-Mongolian “altan, altyn” - “gold” is not confirmed, since the peoples who lived on the banks of this river either did not know gold, or “altan” could not be used in their languages turn into "Aldan". As a hypothesis, Pospelov admits that “Aldan” (variant “Allan”) may be associated with the Evenk “oldo, ollo” - “fish”, that is, “fish river”[2].

Climate

Aldan has a sharply continental climate, which is much milder than in Yakutsk: in Aldan it is much warmer in winter and cooler in summer, with three times more precipitation. Winters are moderately cold with slight temperature fluctuations from month to month. From December to February, thaws are excluded.

Geographical position

Located on the Aldan Highlands, in the basin of the Aldan River (the right tributary of the Lena), at the confluence of the Orto-Sala River and the Nezametny Stream, 530 km south of Yakutsk. The city, like the entire Aldan region, is located on the Aldan shield. The oldest crystalline rock formations with an age of more than 3 billion years come to the surface.

The city is located in an area with the richest natural resources: deposits of coal, iron ore, apatite and uranium ores are located next to the Small BAM railway line, which was opened for traffic on December 19, 1992. It should soon stretch to Yakutsk.

Geological exploration work carried out on the Aldan-Stanov shield [2] confirmed the presence of large reserves of copper, uranium, mica and large deposits of iron ores, as well as polymetals and gold in the Charo-Tokkinskoye, Yuzhno-Aldanskoye and Sutamskoye deposits. The Aldan Shield also hosts the world's only deposit of charoite.

The use of the unique mineral resource base of the region opens up great prospects in industrial terms, which, in turn, will entail the development of the infrastructure of the city and the region.

Excerpt characterizing Aldan (city)

- Oh, ce serait une perte terrible. C'est une femme ravissante. [Oh, that would be a big loss. Such a lovely woman.] “Vous parlez de la pauvre comtesse,” Anna Pavlovna said, approaching. – J'ai envoye savoir de ses nouvelles. On m'a dit qu'elle allait un peu mieux. “Oh, sans doute, c’est la plus charmante femme du monde,” said Anna Pavlovna with a smile at her enthusiasm. – Nous appartenons a des camps differents, mais cela ne m'empeche pas de l'estimer, comme elle le merite. Elle est bien malheureuse, [You are talking about the poor countess... I sent to find out about her health. They told me she was feeling a little better. Oh, without a doubt, this is the loveliest woman in the world. We belong to different camps, but that doesn't stop me from respecting her on her merits. She is so unhappy.] – added Anna Pavlovna. Believing that with these words Anna Pavlovna was slightly lifting the veil of secrecy over the countess’s illness, one careless young man allowed himself to express surprise that famous doctors were not called in, but that the countess was being treated by a charlatan who could give dangerous remedies. “Vos informations peuvent etre meilleures que les miennes,” Anna Pavlovna suddenly attacked the inexperienced young man venomously. – Mais je sais de bonne source que ce medecin est un homme tres savant et tres habile. C'est le medecin intime de la Reine d'Espagne. [Your news may be more accurate than mine... but I know from good sources that this doctor is a very learned and skillful person. This is the life physician of the Queen of Spain.] - And thus destroying the young man, Anna Pavlovna turned to Bilibin, who, in another circle, picked up the skin and, apparently, about to loosen it to say un mot, spoke about the Austrians. – Je trouve que c'est charmant! [I think it’s charming!] - he said about the diplomatic paper with which the Austrian banners taken by Wittgenstein, le heros de Petropol [the hero of Petropol] (as he was called in St. Petersburg) were sent to Vienna. - How, how is this? - Anna Pavlovna turned to him, awakening silence to hear the mot, which she already knew. And Bilibin repeated the following authentic words of the diplomatic dispatch he had composed: “L'Empereur renvoie les drapeaux Autrichiens,” said Bilibin, “drapeaux amis et egares qu'il a trouve hors de la route, [The Emperor sends the Austrian banners, friendly and lost banners , which he found outside the real road.] – Bilibin finished, unraveling his skin. “Charmant, charmant, [Lovely, charming,” said Prince Vasily. “C’est la route de Varsovie peut être, [This is the Warsaw road, maybe.],” Prince Hippolyte said loudly and unexpectedly. Everyone looked back at him, not understanding what he wanted to say by this. Prince Hippolyte also looked around him with cheerful surprise. He, like the others, did not understand what the words he said meant. During his diplomatic career, he more than once noticed that words spoken in this way suddenly turned out to be very witty, and just in case, he said these words, the first that came to his tongue. “Maybe it will work out very well,” he thought, “and if it doesn’t work out, they will be able to arrange it there.” Indeed, while an awkward silence reigned, that insufficiently patriotic face entered, whom Anna Pavlovna was waiting for to address, and she, smiling and shaking her finger at Hippolyte, invited Prince Vasily to the table, and, presenting him with two candles and a manuscript, asked him to begin . Everything fell silent. - Most merciful Emperor! - Prince Vasily declared sternly and looked around the audience, as if asking if anyone had anything to say against this. But no one said anything. “The Mother See of Moscow, New Jerusalem, receives its Christ,” he suddenly emphasized his words, “like a mother into the arms of her zealous sons, and through the emerging darkness, seeing the brilliant glory of your power, sings in delight: “Hosanna, blessed is he who comes.” !” – Prince Vasily said these last words in a crying voice. Bilibin examined his nails carefully, and many, apparently, were timid, as if asking what was their fault? Anna Pavlovna repeated in a whisper forward, like an old woman praying for communion: “Let the impudent and insolent Goliath…” she whispered. Prince Vasily continued: “Let the daring and insolent Goliath from the borders of France carry deadly horrors to the edges of Russia; meek faith, this sling of the Russian David, will suddenly strike down the head of his bloodthirsty pride. This image of St. Sergius, the ancient zealot for the good of our fatherland, is brought to your imperial majesty. I am sick because my weakening strength prevents me from enjoying your most kind contemplation. I send warm prayers to heaven, that the Almighty may magnify the race of the righteous and fulfill your Majesty’s good wishes.” – Quelle force! Quel style! [What power! What a syllable!] - praise was heard to the reader and writer. Inspired by this speech, Anna Pavlovna’s guests talked for a long time about the situation of the fatherland and made various assumptions about the outcome of the battle, which was to be fought the other day. “Vous verrez, [You will see.],” said Anna Pavlovna, “that tomorrow, on the sovereign’s birthday, we will receive news.” I have a good feeling. Anna Pavlovna's premonition really came true. The next day, during a prayer service in the palace on the occasion of the sovereign's birthday, Prince Volkonsky was called from the church and received an envelope from Prince Kutuzov. This was a report from Kutuzov, written on the day of the battle from Tatarinova. Kutuzov wrote that the Russians did not retreat a single step, that the French lost much more than we did, that he was reporting in a hurry from the battlefield, without having yet managed to collect the latest information. Therefore, it was a victory. And immediately, without leaving the temple, gratitude was given to the creator for his help and for the victory. Anna Pavlovna's premonition was justified, and a joyfully festive mood reigned in the city all morning. Everyone recognized the victory as complete, and some were already talking about the capture of Napoleon himself, his deposition and the election of a new head for France. Far from business and among the conditions of court life, it is very difficult for events to be reflected in all their fullness and force. Involuntarily, general events are grouped around one particular case. So now the main joy of the courtiers was as much in the fact that we had won as in the fact that the news of this victory fell precisely on the sovereign’s birthday. It was like a successful surprise. Kutuzov’s news also spoke about Russian losses, and Tuchkov, Bagration, and Kutaisov were named among them. Also, the sad side of the event involuntarily in the local St. Petersburg world was grouped around one event - the death of Kutaisov. Everyone knew him, the sovereign loved him, he was young and interesting. On this day, everyone was greeted with the words: “How amazing it happened.” At the very prayer service. And what a loss for the Kutais! Oh, what a pity! – What did I tell you about Kutuzov? - Prince Vasily now spoke with the pride of a prophet. “I always said that he alone is capable of defeating Napoleon.” But the next day there was no news from the army, and the general voice became alarming. The courtiers suffered for the suffering of the unknown in which the sovereign was. - What is the position of the sovereign! - said the courtiers and no longer praised him as the day before, but now condemned Kutuzov, who was the cause of the sovereign’s anxiety. On this day, Prince Vasily no longer boasted about his protege Kutuzov, but remained silent when it came to the commander-in-chief. In addition, by the evening of this day, everything seemed to come together in order to plunge the residents of St. Petersburg into alarm and worry: another terrible news was added. Countess Elena Bezukhova died suddenly from this terrible disease, which was so pleasant to pronounce. Officially, in large societies, everyone said that Countess Bezukhova died from a terrible attack of angine pectorale [chest sore throat], but in intimate circles they told details about how le medecin intime de la Reine d'Espagne [the Queen's physician of Spain] prescribed Helen small doses some kind of medicine to produce a known effect; but how Helene, tormented by the fact that the old count suspected her, and by the fact that the husband to whom she wrote (that unfortunate depraved Pierre) did not answer her, suddenly took a huge dose of the medicine prescribed for her and died in agony before help could be given . They said that Prince Vasily and the old count were about to take on the Italian; but the Italian showed such notes from the unfortunate deceased that he was immediately released.
