New in blogs

There are several versions about the origin of the toponym “Chelyabinsk”. The oldest explanation, which existed among the descendants of the first settlers and old-timers, says that the name of the fortress “Chelyaba” goes back to the Bashkir word “Silebe”, that is, “depression; a large, shallow hole." It was given by the name of the tract [3]. This version is supported by the notes of the German traveler I. G. Gmelin, who visited the Chelyabinsk fortress in 1742. Today this version can be considered the most common [3]. Subsequently, various alternative versions appeared: According to researcher A.V. Orlov, the Chelyabinsk fortress was named after the village of Selyaba, which stood on the river. Selyabka [4]. V. A. Vesnovsky also spoke in favor of this version, who wrote in his reference book in 1909 that according to legend, at the time of the founding of Chelyabinsk, the Bashkir village of Selyaba was in this place [5]. According to some scientists (U.K. Safiulin, G.F. Satarov, Yu.G. Podkorytov), ​​the village was founded by the legendary Turkic hero Selyambey [4]. G. A. Turbin believed that this was the village of the Bashkir Tarkhan Taimas Shaimov, who had the honorary title of “Chelyabi” [4]. It is likely that on the site of modern Chelyabinsk there were the patrimonial lands of the Turkic hero Selyabi-Chelebi [4]. Some researchers derive the name from the Turkic root “chelyabi” (“selyabi”), that is, “noble” [6]. There is a version of the origin of the toponym from the name of the river, since a considerable number of villages were named after the rivers near which they were built. It was customary among the Turkic peoples to name rivers after the names of the owners of the patrimonial lands where they flowed. Opponents of this version note that at the time of the appearance of Russians in the Southern Urals (late 17th - early 18th centuries) there were no villages near the river. Miass did not exist, since it was the territory of the Bashkir tribes and it was unsafe to live next to them. During the Tatar-Mongol yoke, the honorary name-title Chelebi (Chelubey) was common. The anthroponym Chelebi in the Islamic world refers to epithets with the meaning of a strong, influential personality (translated from Turkic - “pretty, beautiful, sun-like”). In history one can find many confirmations of the existence of this anthroponym. So, for example, Chelibir was the name of one of the batyrs who served the Chernigov princes. In the 15th century Turkey was ruled by Sultan Mehmed I Celebi. Famous Turkish scientist of the 17th century. Haji Khalifeh went by the pseudonym Katib Chelebi. Translated from Turkish into Russian, “chelyab” means “God”, and “chelyabi” means “divine”, “gifted by God” [4]. Omar Khayyam Chelyabi also had a similar title, meaning “Great”.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms of Chelyabinsk is presented in the form of a French shield. It depicts a loaded golden camel standing on green ground. The animal is located against a silver wall with crenellations. The artiodactyl symbolizes the important transport and trade significance of the settlement. Precious metal indicates greatness and wealth.

The emblem dates back to the historical version. It was adopted by decision of the Chelyabinsk City Duma No. 59/3 of September 12, 2000. Included in the State Heraldic Register of the Russian Federation under No. 688.

Chelyabinsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater named after. M.I. Glinka

Chelyabinsk State Academic Opera and…

Chelyabinsk

The Chelyabinsk Opera and Ballet Theater named after Glinka was founded in 1937 on the site where the Cathedral of the Nativity was previously located. By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the building was almost completed, but it housed not a theater troupe, but an evacuee from Moscow.

The Chelyabinsk theater showed its first performance only in 1956 - the artists presented the opera “Prince Igor”. Over the years, famous Soviet artists worked at the theater - conductor Isidor Zak, directors Dmitry Smolich and Niyaz Dautov, ballet soloists Mikhail Shchukin and Vladimir Postnikov and singer Vera Dikopolskaya.

Chelyabinsk State Puppet Theater named after. V. Volkhovsky

Chelyabinsk State Regional Puppet Theater named after V...

Chelyabinsk

The Chelyabinsk Puppet Theater is one of the oldest in Russia. Its story began with the doll Parsley - with it, dramatic actors Pavel and Nina Garyanov came to Chelyabinsk in the early 30s of the 20th century. Six years later, the country's first studio opened here, where actors and puppeteers were trained.

In the 70s and 80s, the main director of the theater was Valery Volkhovsky, then the era of unscreened performances began - the actor and the puppet became partners on stage. The outstanding puppeteer director is still called the father of the Chelyabinsk puppet theater - in 2006 the theater was named after Volkhovsky.

National composition of the population and migration processes

If the first settlers of Chelyabinsk were Cossacks, then at the beginning of this century representatives of almost a hundred different nationalities and ethnic groups live in the city. The leaders among them, of course, are Russians (86%). They are followed by Tatars (5%), Bashkirs (3%), Ukrainians (1.5%), Belarusians, Germans, Armenians and Tajiks.

The problem of the outflow of its indigenous residents is quite acute in Chelyabinsk. Chelyabinsk residents are actively moving to other, more comfortable and promising cities in the country. The main reasons for such migrations are low wages, poor ecology and a rather difficult criminal situation in the city.

Administratively, Chelyabinsk is divided into seven districts. The largest number of residents was recorded in the Kalininsky district (222 thousand), and the smallest in the Central region (about 100 thousand).
