• Vyatka stories
• Retro photo

I decided to exhibit a number of photographs related to the Malmyzh region, all scanned from the originals, some kindly provided by the Malmyzh Museum. I only post photos that I think will be interesting. This photo shows a view of Malmyzh from Boltushina Mountain, 1926, photo by D.A. Loginov. The author photographed part of the city, there are very few stone buildings, and there is a spring flood on the Vyatka River.

The following photo shows the production workshop of the Aleksanrova distillery in the village

Kalinino, Malmyzh district, on the back it says laboratory, but I think that this is not so, the diameters of the pipes and columns are clearly not laboratory. Several similar photos were taken using the “Virpsha” photograph, unfortunately the quality is not very good, most likely it is from the 19th century, there may not have been local photographers yet and therefore they invited the “Sarapulians”. Many of my relatives living in Kalinino worked at this plant, including my great-grandfather Alexander Aleksandrovich Sushintsev (1861-1946) and before my marriage my grandmother Chernova (Sushintseva) Anna Alexandrovna (1886-1968). In Soviet times, my distant relative Anna Georgievna Sorokina (Sushintseva) worked at the plant from 1944 to 1985 (she and I meet somewhere after the 5th generation). Anna Georgievna, Aunt Nyura, as she asks to be called, was born in 1923 and now, at 97 years old, she tells a lot of interesting things. The plant was supplied with water from a source by gravity, the water was softened, the pipes ran along the street where the Sushintsevs lived; in Soviet times, wooden ones were replaced with steel ones. When Aunt Nyura went to a meeting of representatives of distilleries in the city of Vladimir, everyone was surprised by the water supply system of the plant. A tasting was held at the meeting and the distillery’s alcohol was recognized as being of good quality. I heard the following story from my great-grandfather: sometimes at the factory workers were given unrefined alcohol and my great-grandfather, coming home in the evening, poured it into a glass, poured salt for purification, drank it and often afterwards scolded his wife for giving birth to five daughters in 1902. .son Peter was born. The next photo also depicts the production of alcohol-containing liquid, only the technologies are slightly different, but as you can see, the distillation process is in full swing. The presence of a steam chamber in the middle part of the apparatus indicates that there is a struggle for quality, and the ring on the finger of the “bottling operator” indicates the profitability of production. And what did the “Vyatka” people do from wood? Inscription on the back: Malmyzh district.

In this photo, the family of Sushintsev’s grandmother’s brother Pyotr Aleksandrovich (1902-1974), photo somewhere in 1930, in 1933 the OGPU was convicted under Article 58 to 10 years in concentration camps, rehabilitated in 1956. The boy in the photo, son Vladimir, in During the war he was captured by the Germans, while his father was still serving time.

In these two photographs by photographer D.A. Loginov’s view of the crossing built across Vyatka by the Reds after the failed last offensive of the Kolchakites near the village of Gonba in the spring of 1919. During the shelling of Gonba by the Whites, one of the shells hit the house where Aunt Nyura’s mother, Anisya Andreevna Kryazheva, lived with her parents, the house burned down.

In this photo, my grandfather Alexander Maksimovich Chernov, S.St. Burets, 30s.

In this photo, my great-grandfather Maxim Fedorovich Chernov, great-grandmother Nadezhda Demidovna and their grandson Lenya, photo 1908 Malmyzh.

This photograph is most likely from 1923, and in it the participants of the agricultural exhibition in Malmyzh, of his own, found only I.I. Stokis, in the top row, second from the right, but did not determine what kind of building it was.

In this photo, graduates of the Malmyzh secondary school, 1942. Mikhail Rukavishnikov and my father Vasily Aleksandrovich Chernov graduated from the Kazan Medical Institute in 1952, later Rukavishnikov was a military medic. In total, in 1942 there were two tenth grades, and Aunt Nyura studied in the parallel one. In her words: Aleksey Nikanorovich Gulyaev was the head teacher at the school, Klavdiya Aleksandrovna Ivanova, a history teacher of grades 9-10, was very strict.

The next four photographs are different views of Malmyzh and the Shoshma River, most likely from the 50s-60s.
