The bear abounded in bandits of robbers who robbed those passing along the road. A fortified guards line with settlements began from Petrovsk. The fortress itself had a tetrahedral shape, it was surrounded by double oak walls with 8 towers covered with logs. Inside the fortress there was the Peter and Paul Cathedral, voivodeship mansions, stables, an archive, and barns. Since 1780, the district town of the Saratov province.

The name of our river is mentioned in documents from the 16th century. This is a river in the European part of Russia, a left tributary of the Don. The bear lies on the southwestern slopes of the Volga Upland.” The river originates from two rivers - the Malaya and the Big Bear, emerging from springs two kilometers from the village of Borisovka, Bazarnokarabulak district. After the confluence of these two rivers, the Medveditsa makes its channel in the territory of the Petrovsky district, and then the Atkarsky, Lysogorsky, and Kalininsky districts. It flows into the Don on the territory of the Volgograd region near the city of Serafimovichi. From source to mouth it extends for 745 km, of which 600 km are in the Saratov region. Back in the 18th century. The Bear was a navigable river. Merchants floated goods from Atkarsk to the Don. At dawn in the Medveditsa River you can catch pike, crucian carp, perch, burbot, and ruffe. And if the guests are not fishermen, then you can swim and sunbathe on the local beach. The water in the river is clean and cool. Holidays in the area will also be interesting for hunting lovers.

Summer tourists in the vicinity of Petrovsk will be greeted with mushrooms and berries. If you wish, you can take a car trip to the springs. One of them is located two kilometers upstream of the Medveditsa River, the other near the village of Khomyakovka, the third in the Zotov ravine, which is on the road to the village of Dubrovka. Already a tradition in the Petrovsky district is the Petrovskaya Motor Sloboda festival, held annually in the village of Gudoshnikovo. The festival involves bikers not only from Saratov and other regions of the Russian Federation, but even from foreign countries. The festival includes a motorcycle rally around Petrovsk, a rock concert; an archery tournament, enduro-cross competitions (a discipline of motorsports and cycling), as well as folk festivities. You won't be bored in the evening either. Kinokontsertny, which is located near the railway station, will invite you to watch a feature film. In the district House of Culture at st. Moskovskaya 86, creative groups from other cities of the Saratov region often perform.

Conclusion Today the history of our region continues.

An excerpt characterizing Petrovsk (Saratov region)

On Pratsenskaya Mountain, in the very place where he fell with the flagpole in his hands, Prince Andrei Bolkonsky lay, bleeding, and, without knowing it, moaned a quiet, pitiful and childish groan. By evening he stopped moaning and became completely quiet. He didn't know how long his oblivion lasted. Suddenly he felt alive again and suffering from a burning and tearing pain in his head. “Where is it, this high sky, which I did not know until now and saw today?” was his first thought. “And I didn’t know this suffering either,” he thought. - Yes, I didn’t know anything until now. But where am I? He began to listen and heard the sounds of approaching horses and the sounds of voices speaking French. He opened his eyes. Above him was again the same high sky with floating clouds rising even higher, through which a blue infinity could be seen. He did not turn his head and did not see those who, judging by the sound of hooves and voices, drove up to him and stopped. The horsemen who arrived were Napoleon, accompanied by two adjutants. Bonaparte, driving around the battlefield, gave the last orders to strengthen the batteries firing at the Augesta Dam and examined the dead and wounded remaining on the battlefield. - De beaux hommes! [Beauties!] - said Napoleon, looking at the killed Russian grenadier, who, with his face buried in the ground and the back of his head blackened, was lying on his stomach, throwing one already numb arm far away. – Les munitions des pieces de position sont epuisees, sire! [There are no more battery charges, Your Majesty!] - said at that time the adjutant, who arrived from the batteries that were firing at Augest. “Faites avancer celles de la reserve, [Have it brought from the reserves,” said Napoleon, and, having driven off a few steps, he stopped over Prince Andrei, who was lying on his back with the flagpole thrown next to him (the banner had already been taken by the French, like a trophy) . “Voila une belle mort, [This is a beautiful death,”] said Napoleon, looking at Bolkonsky. Prince Andrei realized that this was said about him, and that Napoleon was saying this. He heard the one who said these words called sire. But he heard these words as if he heard the buzzing of a fly. Not only was he not interested in them, but he did not even notice them, and immediately forgot them. His head was burning; he felt that he was emanating blood, and he saw above him the distant, high and eternal sky. He knew that it was Napoleon - his hero, but at that moment Napoleon seemed to him such a small, insignificant person in comparison with what was now happening between his soul and this high, endless sky with clouds running across it. He didn’t care at all at that moment, no matter who stood above him, no matter what they said about him; He was only glad that people were standing over him, and he only wished that these people would help him and return him to life, which seemed so beautiful to him, because he understood it so differently now. He mustered all his strength to move and make some sound. He weakly moved his leg and produced a pitying, weak, painful groan. - A! “He’s alive,” said Napoleon. – Raise this young man, ce jeune homme, and take him to the dressing station! Having said this, Napoleon rode further towards Marshal Lan, who, taking off his hat, smiling and congratulating him on his victory, drove up to the emperor. Prince Andrei did not remember anything further: he lost consciousness from the terrible pain that was caused to him by being placed on a stretcher, jolts while moving, and probing the wound at the dressing station. He woke up only at the end of the day, when he was united with other Russian wounded and captured officers and carried to the hospital. During this movement he felt somewhat fresher and could look around and even speak. The first words he heard when he woke up were the words of the French escort officer, who hurriedly said: “We must stop here: the emperor will pass by now; it will give him pleasure to see these captive gentlemen. “There are so many prisoners these days, almost the entire Russian army, that he probably got bored with it,” said another officer. - Well, however! This one, they say, is the commander of the entire guard of Emperor Alexander,” said the first, pointing to a wounded Russian officer in a white cavalry uniform. Bolkonsky recognized Prince Repnin, whom he had met in St. Petersburg society. Next to him stood another, 19-year-old boy, also a wounded cavalry officer. Bonaparte, galloping up, stopped his horse. -Who is the eldest? - he said when he saw the prisoners. They named the colonel, Prince Repnin. – Are you the commander of the cavalry regiment of Emperor Alexander? - asked Napoleon. “I commanded a squadron,” answered Repnin. “Your regiment honestly fulfilled its duty,” said Napoleon. “The praise of a great commander is the best reward for a soldier,” said Repnin. “I give it to you with pleasure,” said Napoleon. -Who is this young man next to you? Prince Repnin named Lieutenant Sukhtelen. Looking at him, Napoleon said, smiling: “II est venu bien jeune se frotter a nous.” [He came young to compete with us.] “Youth doesn’t stop you from being brave,” Sukhtelen said in a breaking voice. “Excellent answer,” said Napoleon. - Young man, you will go far! Prince Andrei, who, to complete the trophy of the captives, was also put forward, in full view of the emperor, could not help but attract his attention. Napoleon apparently remembered that he had seen him on the field and, addressing him, used the same name of the young man - jeune homme, under which Bolkonsky was reflected in his memory for the first time. – Et vous, jeune homme? Well, what about you, young man? - he turned to him, - how do you feel, mon brave? Despite the fact that five minutes before this, Prince Andrei could say a few words to the soldiers carrying him, he now, directly fixing his eyes on Napoleon, was silent... All the interests that occupied Napoleon seemed so insignificant to him at that moment, so petty seemed to him his hero himself, with this petty vanity and joy of victory, in comparison with that high, fair and kind sky that he saw and understood - that he could not answer him.
