Its history is quite ancient. It was first mentioned in the seventeenth century. The emergence and development is associated with the Moscow-Siberian tract, and then with the discovery of placer gold deposits. In this regard, the population grew so quickly that in 1856 it acquired the status of a city and in honor of Empress Maria Alexandrovna it was renamed from Kiysk to Mariinsk in 1857.

Now it is an agricultural area. The economy is represented by such sectors as:

Revival of Mariinsk Merchant

For a long time, Mariinsk celebrated City Day, starting from 1856, when, by Decree of Emperor Alexander II, the village of Kiyskoye received the status of a district town. But to calculate the chronology of populated areas, they also use another approach: from the time of the first evidence of settlement in a given specific place. They did the same in Mariinsk. Historians, local historians, and the city’s public decided to take 1720 as the starting point, which dates to the first documentary mention of Mariinsk, in particular, of the Nikolsky churchyard.

“Near Kiya in 1720, in a Tatar village, a church was built, where Mariinsk is located. The famous explorer of Siberia Gerhard Miller speaks about this in his work “Description of the Tomsk district of the Tobolsk province.”

He writes that in the Kurchukov volost (in the place of present-day Mariinsk) a church was built, and it bears the name Nikolskaya, says Sergei Sheshukov, director of the Historical Mariinsk Museum-Reserve. – On September 24, 2021, at the academic council of the Institute of History and International Relations of KemSU, it was decided to “consider it possible to include the date of the founding of the village of Kiiskoye in a set of events dedicated to the celebration of the 300-year industrial development of the Kuznetsk coal basin, taking into account the role of the village of Kiiskoye and Mariinsk in the development of gold mining, trade and transport infrastructure.”

Given the name of the Empress

The traditions of Mariinsk are very rich. On July 22, 1857, the village of Kiiskoye was reorganized into the city of Kiisk. Soon, the Governor-General of Western Siberia turned to the Siberian Committee with a request to rename Kiysk to Alexandrovsk or Mariinsk. Alexander II settled on the second option, immortalizing the name of his wife.

A center of gold mining and trade, Mariinsk developed rapidly, especially in the 19th century. Trade in a variety of goods flourished here. The largest shops and shops were located on Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street. Merchants of Mariinsk also had industrial enterprises. It is known that Trifon Timofeevich Savelyev, who was also the first mayor of Mariinsk, owned a brewery, a soap factory, and a fruit water factory. CM. Guryevich had a tanning and rolling production. He also built a city bathhouse, which has survived to this day. The merchant Chebotarev had cars and cargo transport, so he was engaged in the transportation of passengers and cargo. At L.D. Preysman had a printing house in Mariinsk - the only one at that time in the entire territory of modern Kuzbass. Accounting books, a statistical collection “Issues of the Mariinsky District”, advertising, posters and much more were published there. In particular, Preysman's printing house became famous for the almanac "Okroshka" produced.

The largest grain traders in Mariinsk at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th century were the merchants Chernolovsky, Gurevich, Minenko, and Kukhterin. Distillation was closely connected with the grain trade. The merchant Cherdyntsev was considered the largest wine merchant in Mariinsk. It is noteworthy that merchants constantly had to confirm their membership in the guild; they provided information about their income to the city public administration.

Merchants and patrons of the arts

Charity was an integral feature of the Mariinsky merchants. Researchers of the history of the city note that there were several reasons for this. For example, religiosity, but at the same time vanity. After all, for the largest donations, the government awarded merchants with ranks and titles; they could occupy major positions in local government.

First of all, merchants donated to church needs. In 1824, a stone cathedral was built in Mariinsk in honor of St. Nicholas of Myra. The cathedral's bells are cast from copper and covered with a layer of gold. It was a gift to the city from the merchant Yudalevich, as evidenced by the engraving on the bell. And in 1914, again, the merchants erected a bust of Alexander II in front of the cathedral, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the abolition of serfdom.

Merchants in Mariinsk built and supplied a cemetery church, a Polish church and a Jewish synagogue. In addition, churches and chapels were also built in places remote from the city, where merchants were engaged in crafts and trade.

Large gold miner Pyotr Savelyev donated five thousand rubles to St. Nicholas Cathedral. He was also a member of the board of trustees of the Mariinsky Girls’ Gymnasium and took on all its expenses; Savelyev allocated funds to both the men's educational institution and the vocational school of Mariinsk.

Thanks to the merchants, the first cinema in Kuzbass appeared in the city - “Furor”. At first, a whole group of entrepreneurs wanted to open it, but in the end the Manusovich brothers did it single-handedly. Thanks to merchants, the first library society was opened in Mariinsk in 1901. In winter, the merchants set up a skating rink in the city garden, and in summer - playgrounds for children and adults. Paths were laid out in the garden for members of the cyclist society, and a swimming pool with a swimming school was set up on the Kiya River.

In response, the Mariinsk authorities hung portraits of philanthropists in the city council building, a public bank, and educational institutions were named after them.

As local historians clarify, it was thanks to the initiative and efforts of the Mariinsky merchants that such innovations as stone houses, a women's gymnasium, a printing house, a fire department, a library society, a firefighting society, and a cinema appeared in our region.

Traditions today

Director of the Historical Mariinsk Museum-Reserve Sergei Sheshukov emphasizes that the city will maintain the continuity of merchant traditions.

“We decided to make the theme of merchants central to our city; it can be branded and attract tourists and guests. This year we plan to celebrate the anniversary with small historical installations on the streets of the city to create a festive mood. We invite entrepreneurs to participate. All this can be viewed while walking. And starting next year, on August 1, we will celebrate the Day of Siberian Merchants,” says Sergei Vasilyevich. – We are also now working on organizing the “Siberian Merchant Assembly”, which will include the descendants of the Mariinsky merchants, major philanthropists of the city and region. We have done a lot of research and established connections with the descendants of Mariinsky merchants in Russia and abroad.”

This year a series of postcards dedicated to Mariinsk was released. In addition, the museum-reserve will be preparing an updated exhibition dedicated to the merchants. It will be filled with living stories about merchants - how they lived and worked here.
