Together with eleven villages of the Mezhdurechensky district of the Kemerovo region, it forms a municipal entity - the Mezhdurechensky urban district. It is one of the largest cities in terms of population and the third largest city[5] in the Kemerovo region. Located in the south of Western Siberia, between the Tom and Usa rivers, in the southeastern part of the Kuznetsk coal basin (Kuzbass).

Mezhdurechensk is characterized by a sharply continental climate with significant annual and daily temperature fluctuations, as well as large amounts of precipitation.

  • Average annual temperature - 0.1 C°
  • The average temperature in January is 35 C°
  • Average July temperature + 18.5 C°
  • Absolute temperature minimum - 48 C°
  • Absolute temperature maximum + 39 C°
  • Average annual wind speed - 2.9 m/s
  • The frequency of calm situations in the city is 51%
  • The average duration of the frost-free period is 107 days

The city is located in an area of ​​sufficient moisture: on average, precipitation falls from 750 to 1400 mm per year. Snow cover is established in early November (in the mountains - in October). The height of the snow cover in the city area is about 1.0 m, in the mountains - from 2.5-3.0 m (on the slopes) to 4.0-7.0 m (in intermountain depressions). The process of melting snow and glaciers in the mountains annually creates the threat of flooding within the city limits. The duration of snow cover is about 160 days. The average depth of soil freezing in the city is about 190 cm. The predominant direction of winds is western and eastern.

Severe temperature conditions are accompanied by increased atmospheric humidity due to the location of the urban district between rivers in swampy areas. The situation is aggravated by the lack of sunlight (mostly cloudy or cloudy weather).

Climate and ecology of Mezhdurechensk

The scarcity of architecture (after the war there was no time for excesses, and subsequently active construction was carried out mainly during the reign of Khrushchev, with understandable consequences) is compensated by the abundance of green spaces and an enviable attention to cleanliness. The surrounding nature complements the pleasant impression - the picturesque surroundings of the city seem to simply beg to be painted onto an artist’s canvas.

A temperature of thirty degrees on the thermometer can be seen here both in winter and in summer. In winter, of course, with a minus sign. Although temperatures of minus twenty (for December-January) and plus twenty (for July) are more typical, you need to understand that what makes the local winters truly severe is the high humidity, due to the close proximity to rivers and swamps. There is a lot of snow in winter, and since city services are working properly, you need to prepare for the sight of two-meter snowdrifts that grow on the roadsides by spring.

The environmental situation is quite acceptable; the level of air pollution is much lower than in other industrial centers of the region. It is at least significant that the snow here in winter is really white - a fact that is truly amazing for a mining town in Kuzbass.

They took up the study of the southern part of Kuzbass [ who?

] in 1914. Leonid Lutugin, who led the study, named this area Tomusinsky (after the names of the Tom and Usa rivers). After his death, Vasily Yavorsky continued his work. During the Great Patriotic War, in connection with the occupation of Donbass by Nazi Germany, it was necessary to sharply increase coal production, so in 1943 large exploration work was launched by the Kuzbassuglegeologiya trust. From 1948 to 1949 the Novokuznetsk-Mezhdurechensk highway was built.

In 1949, Georgy Radchenko and his assistants began work in the middle reaches of the Olzherass River (the right tributary of the Usa River). In the gorge they discovered a unique [ specify

] deposit of fatty and coking coals, called “Raspadskoye”. This group of geologists prepared all the characteristics of the coal seams of the Tomusinsky region for the coal mine project and the immediate development of the area; the identified reserves accounted for a ninth of the coal reserves of the entire Kuzbass.

The first stage of twenty-seven prisoners left Stalinsk for the site where it was planned to build a camp for six and a half thousand prisoners, future builders of the mine and processing plant. It happened on March 27, 1948.

In 1952, the first construction department was created - Tomsk. And if before this the development was unplanned and made of wood, then with the formation of the administration the planned development of the city began on the opposite bank of the Usa River. In the same year and until 1953, logging was carried out in the village. Syrkash (now a district of Mezhdurechensk) the imprisoned ethnologist, geographer and historian Lev Nikolaevich Gumilyov was transferred [12].

On June 23, 1955, the village of Olzherass and the newly built city were united under the common name Mezhdurechensk.

In 1989, the first significant miners' strike in the USSR began in Mezhdurechensk.

On May 8-9, 2010, two methane explosions occurred at the Raspadskaya mine[13]. Discontent among miners, caused by the lack of response from local and federal authorities to demands for increased wages and improved working conditions, grew into mass civil unrest. Rallies took place on May 12 and 14[14][15]. During the rally on May 14, some of the protesters blocked the Novokuznetsk-Abakan railway and were dispersed by riot police[16]. In memory of the victims of the accident at the Raspadskaya mine, a chapel was built in honor of the Holy Great Martyr Varvara[17].

Coat of arms

.

In 1966, a competition was announced for the best coat of arms of the city, in which 59 sketches were considered. After considering the submitted sketches, the design of the coat of arms, No. 48, was recognized as the best, which the Komsomol city committee proposed for approval.

The author of the coat of arms, Vadim Gushchin, despite violating a number of important laws of heraldry, managed to simply and originally, abandoning the traditional gears, flasks, and jackhammers of that time, reflect the industrial specifics, combining it with the natural and geographical position of the city.

On August 28, 1966, the newspaper Znamya Shakhtyora presented the coat of arms to the residents of Mezhdurechensk: “The shield is divided into two fields: red (above) - the color of labor and green (lower) - the color of the taiga. In the light of a spark, a piece of coal - our main wealth. On a green field there are two blue ribbons - Tom and Usa. Thus, the coat of arms personifies the two most important features of the city - the direction of the work of its inhabitants and natural conditions.”

The author of the coat of arms made a small mistake. The fact is that the Usa River flows into the Tom River from its right bank. In the 1966 coat of arms, converging rivers are depicted flowing to the left heraldic side (from the viewer to the right), which was not true. The error was corrected, and on March 18, 1993, the changed coat of arms was approved.

Districts and real estate of Mezhdurechensk

The city is small and is officially divided into only two districts - Western and Eastern. Interestingly, the unofficial zoning follows the official one, also dividing Mezhdurechensk into two large territories (with some nuances, of course).


Mezhdurechensk Map

The eastern district is usually called the “old town” or simply “the city”. Residents of the western part of Mezhdurechensk, heading here, say: “let's go to the city.” All administrative buildings, the Sports Palace, the main park of the city, and the main market are located here. There is already little housing being built in the city, and specifically in the eastern region there is a problem with new houses. On the secondary market you can find excellent “Stalin” apartments, although at a price slightly higher than the regional average (more about the cost of apartments below).

The area is relatively calm, clean, and looks attractive from the facade. The courtyards, of course, are less attractive, but this does not distinguish Mezhdurechensk from other Russian cities. The population, in a provincial way, is intolerant of new things, but if you do not have a long hair, are not a goth, not a hippie, it is quite possible to live here. You should always be prepared for the abundance of “gopniks” and the festivities of drunken miners (especially on weekends) (this is relevant for all areas). There is, perhaps, only greater wariness towards strangers in the “old Mesopotamia”, the private sector of the old city - where normal socialization can take quite a long time. At the same time, a private house in Mezhdurechensk can only be bought out of a great love for fiddling around in the garden; the lack of normal sewerage and hot water supply, and stove heating make the private sector very unattractive for visitors.


Eastern region

The western district of Mezhdurechensk is called “new”; there are more new buildings here, many high-rise buildings (and this territory began to be populated later than the old city). One of the streets (Kommunistichesky Prospekt) is completely pedestrian. Mezhdurechensk is generally a very green, very clean city, and on the “local Arbat” this is especially noticeable.


Mezhdurechensk Western region

The only unsightly place in Mezhdura is also in the west - Nakhalovka, where the private sector is localized. This is the dirtiest part of the city, partly due to the large percentage of marginalized people among the population, and partly due to a poorly organized garbage collection system. You can only buy housing here if you have a lot of money; in addition to all the typical problems of living in a private house, there are huge piles of waste on the streets.

In general, the New City is a pleasant place to live. In principle, the Old Town is in no way inferior to it (Mezhdurechensk is small anyway, and you can get to any point very quickly), but buying an apartment in the Western district is a more realistic task.

Housing prices can be unpleasantly surprising. The fact is that builders incur additional costs due to the need to build high seismic resistance (weak earthquakes in Mezhdurechensk have not surprised anyone for a long time, there have been no strong ones, but protection from them is necessary). Therefore, the price per square meter of 26-27 thousand rubles is considered gentle here (and is rare, 30-32 thousand per meter is common). If you try, it’s quite possible to find a “one-room apartment” within a million rubles, and a “two-room apartment” within one and a half. Prices on the secondary market are approaching prices for new apartments due to high demand. A small private house for 300 - 500 thousand will only be bought by someone who likes to overcome difficulties.

Railway station "Mezhdurechensk-Passenger"
The main branch of the economy is the extraction of hard coal (coking and steam coals), supplied mainly to ferrous metallurgy plants and power plants in Southern Kuzbass.

  • Mines: Raspadskaya (the largest in Russia, part of the coal mining company of the same name, whose headquarters are also located in the city), OJSC Mezhdurechenskaya Coal Company - 96 (mothballed in 2016), Raspadskaya Koksovaya, im. Lenina", "Tomskaya" (closed), "Olzherasskaya-nova". (The Shevyakov Mine was closed after an accident on December 1, 1992, which killed 25 miners).
  • Sections: “Krasnogorsky”, “Olzherassky”, “Mezhdurechensky”, “Tomusinsky”, “Raspadsky”.
  • Factories for the enrichment of mined coal: “Kuzbasskaya”, “Tomusinskaya”, “Krasnogorskaya”, “Raspadskaya”, “Mezhdurechenskaya”.
  • Gold mining enterprises: CJSC Artel Prospectors "Golden Pole".

The management of OJSC Coal Company Southern Kuzbass, subordinate to the Mechel group, is located in the city. The enterprises that are part of the company produce coal both underground (Olzherasskaya-Novaya mine, Lenin mine, Sibirginskaya mine, Erunakovskaya mine under construction) and open pit (Krasnogorsky, Olzherassky, "Sibirginsky") method. The coal company also includes enterprises for processing and enriching coal (Tomusinskaya GOF, Kuzbasskaya POF, Krasnogorskaya POF, Sibir POF, Sibirginskaya POF under construction)[54].

For the type of activity “mining”, the volume of shipped products in actual prices for 2009 amounted to 40.52 billion rubles. In 2009, large and medium-sized enterprises of the city produced 24.3 million tons of coal. Manufacturing enterprises shipped goods of their own production, performed work and services on their own in 2009 in the amount of 1.429 billion rubles.

The impact of the global financial crisis of 2008 on the city's economy
In October 2008, due to the fall in demand for steel and its prices, the problem of reducing demand for mined coal arose. The problem was aggravated by delays in a significant amount of payments to coal suppliers from metallurgical plants for coal already supplied. The city's coal enterprises, which employ almost 50% of the working population, have reduced work shifts by an average of 20%, as well as suspended social payments, which are not mandatory under the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. All this led to a significant drop in income of the city's population. As of mid-February 2009, there were no mass layoffs at the city's coal enterprises.

Starting in May 2009, it transferred its employees to work full-time.

Communication[ | ]

Check information.

It is necessary to check the accuracy of the facts and reliability of the information presented in this article. There should be an explanation on the talk page.

Telephone number in the city is 38475. Long-distance telephone communication is provided by Sibirtelecom OJSC and RICT OJSC (IP telephony).

Unlike most cities in Kuzbass, local telephone communication is provided not by RIKT, but by JSC RICT. On the one hand, this situation made it possible in the early 90s to replace outdated PBX equipment with modern Italian equipment (the Italian company Italtel [en] then became one of the company’s shareholders) and set its own tariffs for telephone communications. On the other hand, OJSC RIKT is also an Internet provider, and for a long time occupied a huge share in the market for Internet access services, not giving the opportunity to other providers to develop due to time-based payment for telephone communications.

In 2022, RIKT JSC was absorbed.

As of January 2022, 5 providers provide Internet access to the population:

  • RTA Telecom LLC
  • PJSC "MTS"
  • JSC Rostelecom
  • LLC "Intex"
  • Siberian Networks LLC (Ethernet).

In 2000, JSC RIKT launched the city Intranet network, later renamed MezhduNet, which includes several information and entertainment resources.

In 2006, RICT OJSC and Zavod RTA LLC created a peer-to-peer network, but in 2007, at the initiative of RICT, relations were severed. A year later, “we signed a peer-to-peer agreement.

In 2007, Portal LLC, operating at that time, announced the launch of IP television, and later other providers announced their intentions to launch the service. On February 8, 2010, JSC RICT announced the introduction of IP television services into commercial operation.

Since 2013, communication services for government agencies and enterprises of the city have been provided by the national communications operator Enforta (PRESTIGE-INTERNET LLC).

The city operates mobile communication networks of GSM standards (Beeline, MTS, STEK, Megafon, Tele2) and CDMA (Sky Link) as well as networks supporting HSDPA technology (Beeline, "MTS", "Megafon")

The general city code is 652870. There are 10 post offices in the city, some of which provide public Internet access services.

Crime

Criminal showdowns in Mezhdurechensk ended in the early 2000s. The most notorious cases of that time were bandit mines and open-pit mines. Moreover, the bandits were interested not only in coal, but also in expensive materials associated with mining/driving activities. For example, diesel fuel was actively removed from the open-pit mines.

Widely known in the 90s were the Fomin brothers, who were initially involved in racketeering on the roads, and actively tried to penetrate the open-pit mines - the “coal and solar feeding trough” of the local gang. In 1996, one of the brothers was killed, and the second had to leave the city in 2002.

To this day, people in Mezhdurechensk remember Mikhei, the thief in law, who “held” one of the cuts. His story ended in the winter of 1996. His contract killing was remembered for the fact that the killer with several bullet wounds was taken to the same hospital where Micah died. The medical facility was quickly cordoned off by people from Mikhei’s retinue; only policemen from the 6th department were able to prevent the massacre. It is also noteworthy that the killer was taken to trial (apparently on the principle of “out of harm’s way”) two days later, when he still could not really move.

Now there is no shooting on the city streets, and ordinary people do not have to fear a stray bullet. Although incidents still happen. The talk of the town was the trip of one Belarusian who carried coal not with a permit (coal coupon issued to miners and all people involved in the industry), but at gunpoint. At the end of the trip, he was finally paid for the coal.

Evil tongues say that instead of bandits in Mezhdurechensk there are now bosses. There are rumors about family and friendly connections between city, judicial, mine, and railway bosses. And that all the deputies are prone to swearing, drunkenness, corruption, and violence against secretaries. However, rumors are only rumors, so they should not be fully believed.

In addition, robberies, thefts (sometimes murders) and other “minor, everyday” offenses, even if they are not in the order of things, are certainly considered phenomena that do not cause surprise.

In general, it’s possible to live, the crime rate here is higher than in such a relatively calm city as Tomsk, but is fully consistent with regional indicators. Kuzbass has always been restless, but now, in comparison with the 90s, the crime situation can be called uncritical.
