The city of Kireevsk, Tula region (photos, history, video and impressions)

Let’s start “walking” through the cities of our Tula region, and we’ll start with Kireevsk.
Why? I like this town, I have a special relationship with it, because in my time I often visited there, its streets awaken many pleasant memories in me. But this is all lyricism, but if it’s to the point, then... The town is small (according to the last census, about 20-odd thousand people were counted), 40 kilometers from Tula, quiet, sometimes it seems that it’s very quiet, although perhaps that’s me in such visited his corners more often. There are not many places for entertainment (but they exist, and, as they say, you can go, I have nothing to add here, because I have not visited any). More on this below, but now let’s look into the past.

Description

Kireevsk
on old maps of the 50s of the XX century, USSR

The village is located on the right bank of the Ob, 12 km north-northeast (via the Ob) from the regional center of Kozhevnikov, 81 km from Tomsk. From Tomsk you can get to Kireevsk by driving along the Shegarsky tract to the Shegarsky bridge, across the Ob, then turning south. A bus runs from the Tomsk bus station to Kireevsk twice a day, but not every day. Despite the fact that Kireevsk is located not far from Kozhevnikov directly, it is located on the other side of the Ob, so you have to get to the regional center by making a long detour through the neighboring regional center - the village of Melnikovo.

The population is about 430 inhabitants.

Story

The village has probably existed since the mid-19th century[2]. The basis of the settlement was the placement no earlier than 1840 here, on the banks of the Ob at the convict prison, of the state Kerevsky convict distillery

. Documentedly, the settlement near the plant was first included in the audit lists of populated areas of the Tomsk province in 1859[3].

From the biography of the Tomsk poet and writer P.A. Kazansky, who grew up in the village, as it was then called, Kerevsky / Kereevsky, in the 1870s, in addition to the Tsar’s distillery, there was a separate settlement police district

, which ensured general security, supervision of order in food and trade in wine and salt;
carrying out the movement (including convoy) of transported slaves and convicts; placement of displaced exiles, and control over them. There was a church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
[4] (the rector was John Kosmin) and
a settlement almshouse
.

The main events of the Civil War bypassed the village. However, immediately after the establishment of Soviet power (January 1920), the peasants began to murmur against violence on the part of the co-procurers who carried out food appropriation. The archives preserve documentary evidence that on June 19, 1920, a “peasant uprising” arose in the village, to eliminate which (according to the GubChK VOKhR report) a detachment from the 327th battalion with one machine gun was sent

[5].

According to the 1926 census, Kireyevskoye had 373 households (farms), in which 1,765 people lived, including 841 men and 924 women with a completely predominant Russian population.

On May 27, 1905, a free public library was opened here, the first books for which, in the amount of 252 copies, were purchased with funds from the “Society for Promoting the Establishment of Free Libraries in the Tomsk Province,” created by P.I. Makushin and funds from the Tomsk Public Pavlenkov Fund [6].

In Soviet times, this right-bank Ob village, as well as the nearby villages of Astrakhantsevo and Kanaevo, were assigned to the jurisdiction of the Kozhevnikovsky village council (a village on the left bank of the Ob).

During these years, collective farms, a forestry, a timber plant, fishing artels, and a site for servicing buoys on the navigable riverbed were created and operated here. In the 1930s, the Kireevsk School of Peasant Youth (SHKM) was opened in a two-story house requisitioned from the repressed Kireev resident Konstantin Shevelev-Skripchenko. The “collective farm era” dates back to the creation of the rural promartel “Red Dawn” in Kireevsk in 1929, which united 5 small peasant partnerships. Its first chairman was Pyotr Arsentievich Pershukov. In 1930, the massification of the collective farm movement in the USSR led to the fact that more than half of the residents (and their families) of the village of Kireyevskoye ended up in the ranks of this artel. As a result, it was transformed into an industrial collective farm " The third decisive year of the Five-Year Plan

"
In the same year, the second Kireevsky industrial collective farm was formed - “ Red Spark
”, renamed in 1932 into the industrial collective farm “
15 Years of October
”. In 1941, both of these agricultural enterprises were merged into a single collective farm, “The Third Decisive Year of the Five-Year Plan,” whose chairman was M.V. Trampiltsev.

In parallel with the collective farms, the GULAG era was unfolding and the village became part of the network of special commandant’s offices of Siblag near the Ob, new waves of slaves came here “for logging.”

From the very beginning of the 20th century, the cultivation and production of tobacco was widely developed in the village - until 1922, tobacco growing was the only means of subsistence for the village residents.[7]. Also, the requirement of the Soviet government for collective farmers to grow tobacco in their gardens and hand it over for public procurement to the state remained until the mid-1970s.

The Great Patriotic War, which began in the summer of 1941, left its mark on the history of the village. In addition to the first mobilization of older men in June and July 1941, that summer was remembered for the action of deportation in August to the Siberian special commandant's offices of the repressed people of the Volga Germans, many of whom (including urgently demobilized and demobilized soldiers and commanders of the Red Army from among the Russian Germans) ended up at the timber enterprises of Kireevsk .

The main mobilizations of the majority of men and boys took place in 1942 and 1944. Not everyone who did returned returned to the village - they were often disabled after being wounded at the front.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the structure of administrative units, Kireyevsk serves as the administrative center of Kireyevsky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is part of the Kireevsky district as Kireevsk City of district jurisdiction

.[2] As a municipal entity, the city of Kireyevsk of district subordination, together with the Oktyabrsky rural district of the Kireyevsky district (which includes three rural areas), is part of the Kireyevsky municipal district as the
Kireyevsky urban settlement
.[6]

3. In the 1990s. It was popular among local historians that the village was first founded 4 years before the Tomsk fortress and before the Umrevinsk fortress, namely in 1600. However, that year, the detachments of the governors of the Russian state were still settling in only in the lower reaches of the Ob - in the area of ​​​​modern Surgut. Although (probably, but not documented), there could well have been a single military clash on the banks of the Ob (in the area from the modern Tomsk village of Melnikovo and the city of Novosibirsk) of rapidly moving detachments of nomadic Kyrgyz (remnants of the army of Khan Kuchum) and the Cossacks pursuing them detachments of the troops of the Russian state.

Coat of arms of the city of Kireevsk

I can't get past the heraldry. The moment is important and very interesting.

“In a scarlet (red) field, on top of two picks, sharpened at both ends, crosswise with the handles up, a mace; all the figures are silver.”

Now we will decipher it, although, in general, everything is already extremely clear. But still. Kireyevsk was founded by the Cossacks, and their traditional symbol of power is the mace, so it was placed on the coat of arms. As for the picks, they symbolize the production of iron ore for the Tula factories.
