History of the city of Novorossiysk

similar to the history of many of today’s settlements in the Black Sea region, from Anapa to Sochi and Adler. Almost all of these cities and towns originate from Russian fortresses created here from the late 20s to the late 30s of the 19th century. These outposts were created to strengthen the influence of the Russian Empire in the Black Sea region and repel the opposition of the local Adyghe-Circassian population.

The annexation of the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory to Russia in the first half of the 19th century was accompanied by military actions of several Russian-Turkish wars and the Caucasian War. During these events, military outposts of the Russian army were created on the coast. The territory of today's Novorossiysk was inhabited back in Paleolithic times. The first real city here was a settlement of Greek colonists.

How to get to Novorossiysk

Fact 2. “Bearded” disaster

The city's advantageous geographical position meant it would develop quickly. But the founders of the city lost sight of a very important circumstance that greatly overshadowed the rosy plans.

We are talking about bora, a strong wind that occurs when a cold stream of air overcomes an obstacle in its path and falls down with enormous force. From the city side, the bora looks like a giant beard crawling down from the mountains.

At the initial stages of the construction of the city and port, the destructive power of this natural phenomenon was greatly underestimated. But very soon the elements showed their character: for several days in a row, roars, whistles, icing, and hurricane winds tormented the city.

This phenomenon still causes trouble for local residents. Nevertheless, an interesting fact about Novorossiysk is that the bora is the calling card of the city.

The Crimean War is a sad page of history

1853 is the date of the beginning of the Crimean War, which was very difficult for Russia. Our country was opposed by a powerful coalition of several European states. At the beginning of 1855, the enemy squadron approached the shores of Novorossiysk. The Russian fleet at that time was completely blocked in Sevastopol , while the coastal guns had a very short range. Therefore, the command made the only correct decision at that time: while the enemy was firing from afar with destructive fire along the coastline, all our guns were silent. When, confident of complete victory, the enemy troops approached closer to the shore, our guns hit them with all their might. Taken by surprise, the enemy ships chose to urgently retreat. This battle was won by us.

But, unfortunately, the war itself was lost; under the conditions of defeat, the Black Sea Fleet and fortifications on the coast were destroyed. The city was abandoned by the Russian garrison, as well as many local residents.

Architectural landmarks

Novorossiysk occupies a unique place on the map of Russia and has a special form of cultural and historical heritage:

1. Ruins of the Turkish bastion Sujuk-Kale. The history of the structure is interconnected with the presence of the Turks in this area. In 1772, a Turkish defensive stronghold, Sujuk-Kale, was founded on the coast of the bay, which retained its purpose until the end of the 18th century. During the reign of Catherine 2, this fortress became part of the range of strategic Russian interests. Here the Russian fleet won several significant victories. During its existence, the bastion was repeatedly destroyed and completed. At the end of the 18th century. Sujuk-Kale was significantly expanded. In the 19th century these lands finally began to belong to Russia, and the history of the existence of the ancient structure raises disputes about the date of the emergence of the Black Sea hero city.
2. Admiral Serebryakov Embankment stretched for 2.3 km along the Tsemes Bay and received its name from one of the founders of the city, L. M. Serebryakov. The coastal line starts from the street.

Greek Colony of Bata

Based on ancient written sources and mentions of the first Russian settlers of Novorossiysk about the ruins of a certain ancient Greek city, scientists believe that in the 6th century BC. on the site of today's Novorossiysk there was the Greek city of Bata.

Once upon a time, on the site of Novorossiysk there was the Greek city-state of Bata

Archaeological evidence of its existence was found in later times during construction work during the Soviet period at the bottom of Tsemes Bay, etc.

Bata, like all Greek metropolises of that period, was a trading city-colony. The local colonists had well-developed agriculture, fishing, and various crafts. Trade was also going well. Mainly bread and fishery products were exported, while wines, olive oil, and ceramics were imported.

Bata was one of the easternmost Greek colonies

In the 5th century BC. Almost all the Greek city-states of the Black Sea region were united into a single Bosporan kingdom, which later became part of the Roman Empire. Bata found itself on the very southeastern border of this state entity.

The remains of this semi-mythical city have not been found and there is no direct evidence of its location. But it is believed that it was located on the site of the Seaport, whose structures concreted the possible remains of a Greek settlement. But the fact that there was an ancient Greek trading pier in Tsemes Bay is clear from the ancient anchors and amphorae found in the bay.

All ancient artifacts can be seen today in the Novorossiysk Museum

Fortified fortresses were built around Bath, which were supposed to secure the approaches to ancient Gorgippia (today's Anapa). One of these fortresses was located on the site of the village of Myskhako. All these Greek settlements were subsequently destroyed by the nomadic tribes of the Alans, Goths and Huns in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Since then, the settlement of this region began by the ancestors of the Adyghe and Circassian peoples, who gave the name to the local river - Tsemez (translated as “swampy forest”). And the river, in turn, gave the name to the bay itself - Tsemezskaya.

Soviet development of Novorossiysk

Novorossiysk, as a fairly large and developed industrial city, took an active part in both Russian revolutions. During the revolution of 1905

The Novorossiysk Republic was created here, which existed for a very short time.
During the February Revolution of 1917, power in the city passed into the hands of the Provisional Government, which was liquidated at the end of November of the same year. And on December 1, 1917,
Soviet power was proclaimed in the city.

Many people gathered in the church square for revolutionary rallies

In connection with the outbreak of the Civil War and the offensive of the White Guard troops and interventionists, it was decided not to return the ships of the Sevastopol Fleet that arrived at the port of Novorossiysk in the summer of 1918, but to scuttle them in Tsemes Bay. About 20 ships and vehicles ended up at the bottom of the bay on June 18-19. Some are still there today.

In June 1918, about 20 ships of the Russian fleet were sunk near Novorossiysk

At the end of August 1918

Novorossiysk passed into the hands of the White Guard. From the Novorossiysk port, which in the spring of 1920 became the main evacuation base, mass emigration of participants in the “white” movement and civilians who did not want to live under the Soviets began. Episodes of such evacuation can be imagined from the films “Running” and “Two Comrades Served.” The “Exodus” Monument installed on the Embankment reminds of these historical events, which is like an illustration of the final fragment of the film “Two Comrades Served.”

In the spring of 1920, thousands of emigrants left Russia forever from the port of Novorossiysk

Nicholas II's sister Olga and her children, Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, politician Pyotr Struve, and the famous General Denikin also emigrated from Novorossiysk. On May 1, 1920, a May Day demonstration took place in the already “red” Novorossiysk.

After the establishment of peaceful life, Novorossiysk began to develop not as a resort, but as an industrial port city. Factories operated here, a port functioned, by the end of the 30s illiteracy was completely eliminated, and at the same time most of the ships sunk in 1918 were raised from the bottom of Tsemes Bay.
