Vyatskie Polyany is a city (since 1942) in the Kirov region, Russia, located on the right bank of the Vyatka River. The fourth largest city in the Kirov region, it forms an independent municipal entity “City of Vyatskie Polyany” within the Kirov region. Administrative center of the Vyatskopolyansky district. Population - 34,965 inhabitants (2013). Until the middle of the 16th century, the territory of the lower reaches of the Vyatka River, part of the so-called Arsk region, was inhabited by Mari, Tatars and Udmurts and subordinated to the Kazan Tatar Khanate. According to legend, on the site of modern Vyatskiye Polyany there was a small Udmurt settlement of Oshtorma-Bodya.

Military actions associated with Moscow's conquest of the Kazan Khanate forced the Udmurt population to leave their homes. The fields and meadows of the Oshtorma-Bodya settlement were gradually overgrown with forest and bushes. These overgrown “clearings” began to be called Vyatskie Polyany.

An old legend says that at the end of the 16th century, the Monk Tryphon the Wonderworker of Vyatka, the founder of the Vyatka Assumption Monastery, having taken a fancy to the picturesque lower reaches of Vyatka, ordered the monks to settle in the still uninhabited “Vyatka clearings”, lost among the ship pines, blue lakes and small rivers. He decides to build a monastery here to strengthen his position and to more successfully spread Orthodoxy among the local population.

The first mention of Vyatskie Polyany dates back to 1595, when Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich (son of the Terrible) issued a royal charter to the monks for possession of wastelands - glades. With the blessing of St. Tryphon, initially 12 (in some sources - 15) monks moved to the right bank of the Vyatka. The monastery is being built here quickly, and on its territory the first church is being built to serve the monastic brethren, which recruits “40 brothers, 5 priests, a deacon, and 30 monastic workers.” The monastery peasants of the Voblovitsky volost of the Slobodsky district were forcibly sent to the lower reaches of Vyatka to settle new lands. In 1599, a monastery with a temple was built and upon consecration received the name Nativity of Christ. The name of the monastery was often used to call the settlement that arose next to it - the village of Rozhdestvenskoye (Rozhestvennoye), along with the old name of the town - Polyanka. Next, Tryphon blessed the construction of a second temple on the site where St. Nicholas Cathedral now stands, for people - the laity. The second church was built in 1615 in wood and consecrated in honor of the saint and wonderworker Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra.

Thus, the Monk Tryphon visited these places twice: during his trip to the Kazan governor with the tsar’s decree and at the laying of the first stone for the foundation of the St. Nicholas Church.

Vyatskiye Polyany

In addition to the monastic peasants, palace (state) peasants also began to settle on these lands. In 1607, a palace village appeared near Polyany. In the vicinity of Vyatskie Polyany the village arose. Usad is the patrimony of the Kazan Metropolitan. Migrants settled here without permission, both Russians and foreigners, who wanted to get rid of all state duties. Therefore, the first century of the existence of the Nativity Monastery was often accompanied by territorial disputes. Thus, the Nativity of Christ Monastery was a kind of branch of the Khlynovsky Assumption Monastery. In 1764, by a manifesto of Empress Catherine II, all church estates were transferred from the ecclesiastical department to the department of the College of Economy. Since then, the monastic peasants began to be called economic. After the secularization of church and monastic lands (their alienation in favor of the state), the Nativity Monastery in Vyatskie Polyany was closed.

Michael the Archangel Church Vyatskie Polyany

We suggest starting your acquaintance with the sights of the city at the Archangel Michael Church, a wooden pearl of the Vyatka region, carefully transported to Vyatskie Polyany from the village of Sushi. It is assumed that the monks of the Trifonov Monastery were initially sheltered in the Sushinskaya monastery estate, located on the left bank. Here, next to a church built by talented ancient Russian craftsmen, they served their prayer services, preparing to move to a new place. Time has not been kind to the masterpiece created by ancient masters. The wooden church has experienced many shocks. During the years of Soviet power, there was a village club and a granary here, and then the temple was completely abandoned to the mercy of fate. In 1960, it was taken under state protection as a historical and cultural monument. However, even after this, little funds were allocated for repairs and maintenance, and the ancient rural temple gradually fell into disrepair. Meanwhile, the village of Sushi fell into decay over time, only frail old people remained here.

In May 1998, in order to preserve the unique monument of ancient Russian architecture, it was decided to move the church to Vyatskie Polyany. When they carefully dismantled it, on the last crown they found a mortgage log, on which the date was cut down - 15... The last two digits, time, unfortunately, did not spare. If this was the date of the founding of the temple, then, undoubtedly, it could have existed much earlier than Vyatskiye Polyany. The ancient temple was carefully moved and restored on the outskirts of the city, next to the ancient cemetery where the Vyatka hero and Knight of St. George V.F. is buried. Babushkin. Near the memorial complex where fellow countrymen - participants of the Great Patriotic War - are buried. Inside the temple there is a memorial plaque on which the names of fellow countrymen who died in the line of international duty in the hot spots of the planet, as well as the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, are engraved in gold. The restoration of the lower church was completed on the eve of the Nativity of Christ in 2002. Cells of a monastery are being built at the church, the organization of which received the blessing of the Archbishop of Vyatka and Slobodsk (now Metropolitan) Chrysanthus. A wooden gate church topped with a bell tower rose above the entrance to the monastery territory. This church is dedicated to St. Onuphrius the Great and will be intended for the monastic brethren. Every day the bells of the monastery chime with the belfry of St. Nicholas Cathedral, because they are located almost next to each other, in direct visibility. At this time, the gaze involuntarily rushes to the high blue sky, in the vastness of which wooden beauty seems to float, cut down by ancient and modern craftsmen in the name of saving our souls. Next to the pearl of ancient Russian architecture are the picturesque Vyatka ridges, and a talkative river flows in the spring. Nearby is a spring with a chapel, the life-giving water of which is blessed annually

Volost government If you walk along Sovetskaya Street from the Archangel Michael Church, then the border of the historical part of the village of Vyatskie Polyany (before the time when the village became a city) begins from the former building of the volost administration, which until 1917 housed: the zemstvo chief, the volost foreman, bailiff, justice of the peace, lawyer, clerk, forester and other officials. The village of Vyatskie Polyany became a volost center at the beginning of the twentieth century. On February 17, 1918, in this building, in the presence of several Bolsheviks and sympathizers, the establishment of Soviet power in the village and volost was announced. During the Great Patriotic War and in the post-war period, classes of Vyatskopolyanskaya secondary school No. 1 were located on the second floor of the building.

“House of Sobriety” At the beginning of the twentieth century, an experiment was conducted in Vyatka: under pressure from temperance societies, it was forbidden to sell vodka to take away. It was believed that the “cultural atmosphere” of drinking establishments would wean bitter drunkards from their favorite drink. However, they did not drink less. The house of the temperance society in Vyatskie Polyany was located in Bolshoy Lane (Sovetskaya St., 41) opposite the zemstvo government. Mostly only wealthy people visited it. Peasants were denied access to this house, as large annual contributions were required. In fact, this is the first cultural and educational institution in the village where one could spend one’s leisure time. In the “House of Sobriety,” visitors had billiards and a card table, and a string orchestra played. Here, in 1915, film shows began to be shown for wealthy village residents. Films were brought from Kazan. The room where the film was shown could accommodate no more than 50 spectators. During the Civil War, the premises of the Temperance House were used to hold meetings of Red Army soldiers. After 1919, the People's House was opened in Vyatskie Polyany in the former house of Sannikov, where leisure activities were organized for all residents of the village.

Police station On the site of this corner house before the revolution there was a police station, the number of officials in which reached up to 25 people: many political exiles lived in Vyatskiye Polyany. The house was two-story, on the lower floor there was a “punch” for temporary detention, and in the courtyard there were stalls for horses. Here, in 1929, residents of the village of Vyatskie Polyany first heard radio broadcasts from Moscow. The first radio amateurs, telegraph operators of the regional communications center Vasily Filippovich Solovyov and Viktor Rylov installed a small tube radio receiver and one loudspeaker for collective radio listening. In 1930, the building was demolished (no photographs found) and a school was built in its place. Then a kindergarten settled here. Currently it is a residential building.

The stage premises The village of Vyatskie Polyany was located on the ancient Siberian highway, along which mail was transported and prisoners were transported into exile and hard labor. The Decembrists marched along the Siberian Highway, shackles jingling. The padlocked shackles were very heavy. How did the poor fellows measure hundreds of miles along the ground with them? They said that before crossing the Vyatka they had to be worn. But where there were no crossings or forests, they were removed to speed up the movement. The prisoners were left with only hand shackles, the chains of which were thinner. It is known that the Russian revolutionary democrat A.N. passed through the Malmyzh district to Siberian exile. Radishchev. In his diary, he wrote aptly and succinctly: “The residents are poor, the huts are thin.” In the house built by the zemstvo government next to the police station, there was a staging room. There were two prison cells, a room for the convoy and a room for the family, who looked after the premises, cleaned and heated its rooms. All the windows of the stage house had iron bars. The prisoners were transferred here for overnight stays on Tuesdays and Thursdays from Malmyzh. And from Vyatskiye Polyany those transported were sent to Nizhniye Shuni.

Vyatskiye Polyany

Zemstvo School A two-class zemstvo school of the second level, it was built in 1901 at the expense of the merchant M.A. Zaitsev and was donated to the zemstvo in exchange for the first wooden parish school, the building of which had fallen into disrepair. After the revolution, there was a tractor-mechanical technical school here until 1935. Then a seven-year school was located in the building. The future Hero of the Soviet Union A.P. studied there. Kukin (this is evidenced by a memorial plaque; the school has a stand with photographs and letters of the hero) and Hero of Russia V.M. Gorbunov. After the opening of Vyatskopolyanskaya secondary school No. 1, only classes of primary school No. 1 remained here. Since 2000, children of a special (correctional) school of type 8 have been studying in the building.

Pozharny Lane At the fire tower in Pozharny Lane there was an open-air platform for peasant village gatherings. It is curious that in the firehouse there was kept a pair of leather boots and a good shirt, in which poor peasants got married. In Pozharny Lane lived a merchant Nikolai Fedorovich Goloviznin (born in 1878), who had his own store on Bolshaya Street (Lenin Street), where they sold salted and fresh fish. Behind his house (see photo) there was a glacier where the catch brought by the village fishermen was stored. Most of the fresh fish came from Staraya Beloguzka. During the years of Soviet power, the warehouses where the glacier was located were used as stables, and in the 80s there was a sobering station in them.

House of timber merchant Sannikov This house belonged to a large timber merchant from the village of Kulygi, Alexey Ivanovich Sannikov. The Soviet government in the village of Vyatskie Polyany nationalized shops, warehouses, residential buildings and other property of merchants and timber merchants. (Sannikov's house)

In 1919, in the former house of Sannikov, the People's House named after K. Liebknecht and R. Luxemburg was opened, which was a club where amateur artists performed. In 1930-1931, the People's House was transferred to the former building of St. Nicholas Church. And in the vacated house the district committees of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and the Komsomol are located. The editorial office of the regional newspaper “Vyatsko-Polyanskaya Pravda” worked here for some time. In the 50s, the House of Pioneers began to operate in the building.

Valitov's manufacturing store The first floor of this building at the beginning of the last century was the manufacturing store of the Tatar merchant Valitov. Behind was the bailiff's office. When the first issue of the regional newspaper “Vyatsko-Polyanskaya Pravda” was published, that is, on September 18, 1930, the circulation was printed in the Kukmor printing house, since there was no one of its own yet. The printing house in Vyatskie Polyany, located in a former store, began with an old-style flat-bed printing machine, which often broke down, and then the laid-out pages had to be transported again by horse to Kukmor, and if there was a lack of white paper, newspapers were produced on gray wrapping paper. In 1975-1979 A new two-story building was added to the printing house, and the second floor above the old premises was rebuilt. On the ground floor there is a printing house, on the second floor - in approximately the same area - the newspaper editorial office.

House of the merchant Bashkirov The denture and x-ray departments of the central district hospital operated in the building. In 1952, the first X-ray machine of the Burevestnik type in Vyatskie Polyany was installed here. Until this time, there was an X-ray machine only in the village of Kukmor.

House of merchant M.A. Zaitsev The house in which until 1918 the family of the timber merchant, merchant of the first guild M.A. lived. Zaitseva. During the Civil War in 1919, the Revolutionary Military Council of the 2nd Army of the Eastern Front was located here.

The crews had excellent harnesses, with bells on the harnesses and bells on the bow. The brothers carried passengers and mail up the Vyatka to Malmyzh and Urzhum, and in the lower reaches to Naberezhnye Chelny, Yelabuga and Mamadysh.

There was a district prosecutor's office here for a long time. Later - a road section. Now there are warehouses. In the neighboring one-story stone house on the right (formerly Falaleev’s house), in the 30s and 40s there was a cooperative artel “Red Handicraftsman” (later artel “Trud”), in which they sewed clothes and repaired shoes, musical instruments, and worked as a photographer.

St. Nicholas Cathedral

The fate of the church consecrated in honor of St. was difficult and ambiguous. Nicholas the Wonderworker. After its closure, in 1948, a prayer house was built in the village. Usad, not far from the city. It was in effect until January 11, 1961. Since then, believers have been forced to travel 60 km to the Epiphany Cathedral in Malmyzh. However, spiritual traditions in Vyatskie Polyany were preserved. Parishioners organized two “underground” prayer houses, which operated in different parts of the city. During the years of perestroika, believers submitted an application to the authorities with a request to register the community of the Russian Orthodox Church. The church building was handed over to the Orthodox community on December 25, 1987. Literally 2-3 days later, the first service took place right on the street near the church. And on January 12, the first service was held in the building itself. The solemn service, with a large crowd of people, took place exactly a week later, on the Epiphany of the Lord. Long and painstaking work began to restore the shrine. Many townspeople selflessly participated in the restoration work. On some days, 300-400 people participated. St. Nicholas Church was the first in the Kirov region to purchase bells in Voronezh. For these purposes, parishioners donated 20 thousand rubles. The very first and largest bell, weighing 30 poods, spoke for the first time from the restored bell tower of St. Nicholas Church on August 2, 1989.

Andrey Sergeevich. January 2, 2011 Built in the village of Sushi at the monastery. The date of foundation of the temple is not precisely known (according to one version, approximately the middle of the 16th century). The first written mention of the church dates back to 1728. In 1933, the church was closed and its wooden building was first used as a village club, then converted into a collective farm warehouse. This is one of the most ancient wooden architectural structures in the Kirov region. Therefore, in 1960, the building was declared a historical and cultural monument and taken under state protection. However, no money was allocated for its repair and restoration, and the former temple gradually acquired an unsightly appearance. The village itself gradually became deserted. In 1998, it was decided to move the church from the village of Sushi to the city of Vyatskie Polyany, begin its restoration and transfer it to the Orthodox community. The temple consecrated in honor of Archangel Michael, the patron saint of the Russian army, was erected in Vyatskie Polyany near the old cemetery, next to the memorial where war participants were buried. A monastery is being built next to the temple. Inside the temple there is a memorial plaque with the names of fellow countrymen who died during the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident and in military operations in “hot spots”. Services are held to mark these events. Currently, services are held in only one chapel - in the warm church, consecrated in honor of Paraskeva Friday.
