Historical reference. The city of Almetyevsk is located in the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation and forms the Almetyevsky district. It is the fourth largest city in Tatarstan - about 158 thousand inhabitants. The village of Almetyevo arose in the 19th century, around 1719. There are no exact historical documents available. The village was founded by Mullah Almet.
Only in 1952 the settlement received the status of a village, and in 1953 the status of a city. The city is located 265 km from Kazan.
Almetyevsk is home to many oil industry enterprises - the city can be called the oil capital of Tatarstan. Almetyevsk is small, but clean, cozy and beautiful city with many beautiful places and a considerable number of local attractions.

Religious sights of Almetyevsk
So, what places can you start exploring the city with? This town is definitely worth visiting for travelers who are attracted by religious attractions: Almetyevsk has several of them. For example, you can’t help but visit the Temple of the Icon of the Kazan Mother of God. It is believed that it is similar to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior located in the capital. The building is two-story, and the second floor alone can accommodate approximately a thousand people. The cathedral's belfry has 11 bells, the largest one weighs 1350 kg.
What other religious attractions are of interest? Almetyevsk is a settlement on the territory of which the Church of the Nativity is located. This building does not belong to the category of ancient buildings; its lighting was done relatively recently - in 2000. The temple was erected in honor of the fallen defenders of the Motherland. The creators of the brick church were inspired by the design of the Alexander Nevsky Chapel, located in Yaroslavl.

From an economic point of view, Tatarstan is roughly Russia in miniature. The east of the republic works: Nizhnekamsk, Nab. Chelny, Almetyevsk, Yelabuga, but Kazan, like Moscow, manages and manages the financial resources of the Republic of Tatarstan. If anyone doubts, they can look at industrial production per capita of each city, namely real production, since the industry of Kazan is often focused on itself - for banks, shops, construction, entertainment, etc. - this is a pure transfer of money earned from the sale of oil, petroleum products, petrochemical products, machinery, equipment, agricultural products, etc. And these products are mainly supplied by the industrial east of the Republic of Tatarstan, much like the Urals and Siberia - for the whole of Russia! I would like to talk about one such labor city - Almetyevsk - in this article, since on my business I worked in this interesting city. Almetyevsk has changed a lot and become more beautiful over the past 15-20 years, while it is not only a city of oil workers, but also an interesting cultural and historical center of the Trans-Kama region.
Almetyevsk (Tat. Әлмәт) is a city (since November 3, 1953) in Russia, the administrative center of the Almetyevsky district of Tatarstan, the largest city in the polycentric Almetyevsk-Bugulma-Leninogorsk agglomeration and the center of the TPK of the South-Eastern economic zone of the republic, the fourth in population and importance city of Tatarstan.
The city is located in Zakamye, on the slopes of the Bugulma-Belebeevskaya Upland, on the left bank of the Zai River (a tributary of the Kama), 265 km southeast of Kazan, 13 km from the Almetyevskaya railway station. The area of the city is 41 km². Almetyevsk is located 39 km from Leninogorsk and its largest Romashkinskoye field in the Volga-Ural province in the south of Tatarstan. Today, the Romashkinskoye field is one of the largest oil fields in the world.

HISTORY OF THE FOUNDATION OF ALMETYEVSK For many years after joining the Moscow state, the territory of the modern South-East of Tatarstan remained practically undeveloped. Until the 1630s The history of the region was connected with the Nogai Horde. After the departure of the Nogai Tatars under pressure from the Kalmyks to the Black Sea steppes, these lands were completely empty. The service Tatars and Tarkhans, “yasak Chuvashs” and bobyls, who owned lands in the basins of the Ika, Kineli, Soka and other rivers, used their estates only “in raids” due to the constant threat of Kalmyk raids. There were practically no settlements south of the territory of the modern Sarmanovsky district. Intensive settlement of the region began only in the first third of the 18th century. One of the settlements that emerged during this period was the village of Almetyevo. There is no exact information about the time of its foundation. However, a number of indirect evidence suggests that this event occurred at the turn of the second and third decades of the 18th century. In 1840, during a survey conducted in the region, Almetyevsk residents reported to the authorities that their village was founded 121 years ago, i.e. around 1719.
Materials from the period of the second revision (1747) recorded the presence in the village of Almet-Mullino (the second name of the village of Almetyevo in the 18th century - R.A.) of 23 households and 85 male souls. For that time it was a fairly large village. Its formation took place during the years when the authorities did their best to prevent the flight of Tatars to the border regions of the Russian state. In reality, it took decades for the settlement to reach this size. Therefore, there is reason to believe that the village of Almetyevo was founded long before the second revision. Possibly during the first revision (1719 - 1724). The clarification of this date is closely related to the problem of establishing the identity of the founder of the village. The first mention of the village of Almetyevo in written sources is contained in documents dating back to the initial period of the uprising of 1735-1740. Among them, a letter from Mullah Almet to Colonel I.N. has been preserved. Tatishchev, which reported “on the congresses and intentions” of the rebels and both dangers for the population of the Nadyrovskaya volost. The letter is dated June 24, 1735 and ends with the words: “I, Almet-mullah, wrote this letter to Zaya from the Almeteva village.” The last phrase, with the scarcity of other sources, is a key link in our subsequent logical constructions. Mullah Almeta's name appears in two other documents dating back to the 1730s. The first of them, dating back to July 9, 1734, is associated with clashes between residents of the Yurma volost and a detachment of the Tobolsk Dragoon Regiment. This document mentions Mullah Almet from across the river. Zay. The second document tells about the events of the early summer of 1735, when a council of participants in the uprising took place in the village of Bigashevo. Among those present there were Akai Kusyumov, Kilmyak Abyz, Mrat-Sultan and other famous leaders of the rebels. Representatives from dd also participated in the council. Ursala, Ursalabash, Bigashevo, Almetyevo, Maktama-Tamak and Maktama-Bash, among which Almet mullah Karatametev from the village of Almetyevo is mentioned. Until recently, the prevailing opinion among historians and local historians was that the village of Almetyevo on the river. Zai was founded by Almukhamet, a native of the village of Almetyevo, Baylyarsky volost (now the village of Almetyevo, Sarmanovsky district). In this case, they usually referred to the text of the shedjere of Bikchura Khan, recorded by Riza Fakhretdinov. In the indicated shedger there is indeed Almuhammet from the village of Almetyevo, whose family tree looks like this: Bikchura - Gabdulla Ilaz - Siman - Yakup - Yanbulat - Bikmet (Bikmuhammet) - Karatuymet (Tuimuhammet) - Almuhammet. Almuhammet had three sons: Rahmatullah, Gabderahim and Rahmankul (Ramai). This is where the Almuhammet line ends.
in the local history museum City of Almetyevsk
In the text part of the shedzhere it is noted that Almuhammet, a native of the Bailar volost, was the founder of two villages: Old Almet-Mullino (in the Bailar volost near the Menzel river) and Bazarly Almet-Mullino - on the river. Zay. It is also noted that Almuhammet in the village of Almet-Mullino on the river. Zay “stayed for a short time.” One of his sons, Rakhmatulla, lived in the village of Almet-Mullino, the other, Gabderakhim, lived in the village of Taisuganovo6. In the same Taisuganovo, apparently, Rakhmankul (Ramai) also lived, who, in our opinion, is directly related to the famous Tatar family of industrialists Rameevs, natives of the village of Taisuganovo, who moved into the 18th century. for residence in Sterlitamak district, and later in Orenburg. Shedzhere is an undoubtedly important source, but it needs to be compared with data from other sources. This opportunity is provided by the materials of the 7th revision (1816). According to them, in the village of Almetyevo, among the “Bashkir” population was Rakhmatulla Almuhammetov, who by the time of the 6th revision in 1811 was 77 years old (born around 1734, died in 1813). At the time of Rahmatullah’s birth, his father Almuhammet could have been 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, etc. years. That is, there is a fairly high probability that in the early 1720s, he was already a mature man, capable of founding a settlement or even two. One way or another, Almu-khamet Karatuimetov from the shedzhere of Bikchura Khan and Almet-mulla Karatametev, who was present at the council of the rebels in the village of Bigashevo in the summer of 1735, are undoubtedly the same person associated with the village of Almetyevo on the river. Zay. There is another point of view about the founder of the village of Almetyevo. In the Almetyevsk region, a more or less complete census of the population was first carried out during the second revision (1746 - 1747). At the same time, the “Bashkir” population was not subject to the census. According to the census documents of the second (1746) and third (1762) revisions, in the village of Almetyevo there was only one person named Almet, the son of Seit. In 1746 he was 49 years old, i.e. he was born around 1697. At the time of the third audit he was 65 years old8. Almet Seitov had six sons: Yusup (1722 - 1761), Khalil (1731 - 1748), Masgud (1733 pp), Ishtan (b. 1735), Arslanbek (1744 - 1795) and Gadelsha (1758 - 1795)9. In 1764, the name Almet Seitov was recorded in the list of owners of mills in the region. In this case, his last name is given as Sagitov10. Thus, there are two historical figures who claim to be called the founder of the village of Almetyevo. At the same time, the main argument against the candidacy of Almet Karatuimetov (Tuimukhametov), a native of the Baylyar volost, is his “Bashkir” origin. The fact is that the Nadyrovskaya volost, which included the village of Almetyevo, was not a Bashkir tribal unit. In historical sources it is mentioned as the Nadyrevoy volost of the service Tatars. That is, the “Bashkir” population in the Nadyrovskaya volost could only be newcomers. During the General Land Survey, which took place in the Eastern Trans-Kama region at the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th centuries, information was collected from residents of some villages in the region about the time of their settlement in the Nadyrovskaya volost.
City Almetyevsk Alley of Heroes in the city park
At the same time, the Teptyars and Yamsk Tatars were recognized as the “ancient inhabitants” of the volost. The “Bashkir” population in all identified cases indicated settlement in the volost with the permission of the foreman Nadyr Urazmetov (he received this rank around 1736) or the Tatars. For example, the “Bashkirs” settled in the village of Karataevo around 1750, in the village of Yultimirovo - around 1765, in the village of Nadyrovo (Sugushly) - around 1790. The “Bashkir” population of the villages of Shugurovo and Abdrakhmanovo “did not remember” the time of their relocation. This also applies to the Bashkir-Baylar residents of the village of Taisuganovo, including the descendants of Almukhamet, who lived in this village and moved “from the village of Almetyevo, Menzelinsky district, with the permission of the elder Nadyr Urazmetov from a long time ago.” Considering that the final resettlement of Nadyr Urazmetov to the land “granted” to him on the banks of the river. Zai occurred only in 1729; the resettlement of the Bailar “Bashkirs” to Nadyrovskaya dates back to a later time. The Baylyar people are not mentioned among the first settlers of the village of Almetyevo, among whom were people from the village. Meshatamak and Selengushevo Nogai road of Kazan district, Tashkichu and Tazlarovo Alatskaya road of the same district, Nurlatovo of Simbirsk district, Kanadeevo of Penza district, Azimovo and Shlyankino of Sviyazhsk district. The arguments in favor of Almet Seitov’s “superiority” seem to us more weighty. The very appeal of Mullah Almeta to the command of the Sheshminsky landmilitsky regiment, dating back to 1735, indicates that already during this period he belonged to the ruling elite of the Nadyrov volost and was on good terms with Nadyr Urazmetov. Moreover, there is reason to believe that these two families subsequently became related. According to revision tales, the youngest son of the founder of the Nadyrovsky volost, Nadyr Urazmetov, Yagofar (b. 1759), had his first wife Gulyamsha (Goleisha) Almetova (b. 1762) from the village of Almetyevo. As already noted, Almet Seitov had six sons, the youngest of whom, Gadelsha, was born in 1758. Thus, it is likely that Gulyamsha was the daughter of Almet Seitov, since in 1764 he was still alive. In conditions where marriages, as a rule, were concluded between families of approximately equal status in society, this marriage speaks of the authority and social status of Almet Seitov (Sagitov) and his descendants. His material well-being is evidenced by the fact that he was the owner of a mill on the river. Ursala. Thus, the totality of the above facts allows us to assert that the village of Almetyevo (Almet-Mulino) on the river. Zay was founded by a 23-year-old Tatar, a Teptya by class, Mullah Almet Seitov around 1720.
Almetyevsk city
Almetyevsk city and region In 1795, 700 Teptyars and Bashkirs lived in the village, and in 1834 123 Bashkirs, 544 Teptyars.

Cascade of ponds
Of course, the city is able to offer its guests not only religious attractions. Almetyevsk is a settlement whose symbol is considered to be the Cascade of Ponds. What makes this place mysterious is that there was once a swamp on its territory.
The Cascade of Ponds is a water-architectural complex with green spaces and walking paths where locals like to gather. It enjoys invariably high popularity among city guests. Here people walk, ride bicycles, and have picnics. A couple in love should definitely visit here. Legend has it that if you kiss your loved one on Lover's Bridge, the relationship will last forever.
Aktash Proval
Not far from the city there is a lake called Aktashsky Proval, which in 2005 was recognized as a natural monument of regional significance.
In August 1939, a tractor was working in a field near the village of Kaleikino. The unsuspecting tractor driver drove the tractor in the direction of one of the hills, and suddenly a gap formed below, into which the tractor and the tractor driver fell.
They were unable to get the tractor driver out, and the place acquired a bad reputation among local residents. A lake with clean and transparent water formed at the bottom of the hole. Several attempts were made to descend into the depths of the hole and find the sources of the current. But they were never found.
The Aktash failure is something that every tourist tries to see in Almetyevsk (more precisely in the Almetyevsky district). After all, according to legend, if you throw a pebble into the lake and make a wish, it will definitely come true.
Museums
What other interesting places is Almetyevsk famous for? Its attractions are varied. Of course, all guests of the city should definitely visit the Museum of Local Lore.

Monuments
One cannot ignore the monuments when describing the sights of Almetyevsk. The photo of the Oil Monument below gives some idea of this grandiose structure. Its construction was completed in 2007, it is dedicated to the production of three billion tons of oil.

A memorial dedicated to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War can be found behind the Drama Theater. Nearby there is a monument to the 60th anniversary of Tatarstan oil; it is located in the park of the same name. In the park you can also find a spectacular light and sound fountain.
Estate of landowner Pasmurov
The sights of Almetyevsk, a description with the name of which is offered in the article, certainly deserve attention. However, even outside the village you can find many amazing places. The estate of the landowner Pasmurov is located in the village of Novonikolskoye. It is known that it was built during the reign of Catherine the Great. Its first owner was a capital resident, Pasmurov, who suddenly wanted to enjoy the provincial silence.
Unfortunately, today only a perfectly preserved red-brick outbuilding, decorated with arched windows, tells about the former splendor of the estate. On the territory that was once occupied by the mansion, the Novonikolsk school is located. Once inside the building, you can admire the photographs of the estate taken by the author, whose name remains a mystery. The photographs reveal that Pasmurov’s property was once a majestic three-story mansion with snow-white columns.

Akhmetshin Museum
Not all noteworthy sights of Almetyevsk are mentioned above. A description (with names) of all objects would take a lot of space, but we are limited to the scope of just one article, so we focus on the most interesting ones.

Historical reference
The exact date of foundation of Almetyevsk is unknown. It is believed that this happened in the 20-30s of the 18th century. Thus, in 1840, during a survey, local residents reported that their settlement was founded 121 years ago, that is, in 1719. The first written mentions date back to 1735−1740, the time of the Bashkir uprising. A letter from Mullah Almet, considered the founder of the settlement, to Colonel Tatishchev about the plans of the rebels and their danger also dates back to these years.
By the end of the 18th century, 700 Bashkirs and Teptya lived here. According to the census of the mid-19th century, Almetyevsk already had 2 factories, a fair and bazaar, a mosque, a postal station, and more than 1.5 thousand residents.
The status of the settlement changed as follows:
- Since 1930 it has been a regional center.
- Since 1952 - an urban-type settlement.
- Since 1953 - a city of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
Today Almetyevsk is an economically developed city in which several large companies operate: several oil companies, including Tatneft, a road company, factories for the production of oil and gas pipes and pumps, and others.
Sports are developed here: hockey and cross-country skiing, rugby, football, aeronautics. The city boasts several sports teams and sports complexes, including a ski resort, bicycle and skate parks.
Interesting fact: the city has a unique cycling infrastructure, thanks to which the bicycle is extremely popular here and is in demand as a personal vehicle. Its popularization helped reduce mortality by 20%.
