Story

Accurate data on the time of the founding of the village of Almetyevo has not been preserved, 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, that is, approximately in 1719.

The founder of the village is considered to be Mullah Almet (probably short for Al-Muhammad, Tat. Әлмәт - Әл-Мөхәмәт, Bashkir personal name Almet.). The first mention of the village 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. Tatishchev has been preserved, in which he reported “about the congresses and intentions” of the rebels and about their danger to the population of the Nadyrov volost of the Chistopol district. The letter is dated June 24, 1735 and ends with the words:

“I, Almet-mullah, wrote this letter to Zaya from the Almeteva village.”

In 1795, 700 Teptyars and Bashkirs lived in the village, and in 1834 there were 123 Bashkirs and 544 Teptyars. According to the materials of the 1859 audit, 1,518 state-owned peasants and Bashkirs, as well as a mosque, a postal station, a fair, bazaars and 2 factories were taken into account in the 214 courtyards of the village

Since 1920, as part of the Bugulma canton of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, since August 10, 1930 it has been a regional center.

On March 25, 1952, the village of Almetyevo was transformed into an urban-type settlement, Almetyevsk, and on November 3, 1953, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR, it received the status of a city.

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.

Climate Average annual air temperature - 4.4 °C Average wind speed - 3.8 m/s.

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 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.

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.
