Main article: History of Taganrog

The history of the city dates back to the late Bronze Age - early Iron Age (between the 20th and 10th centuries BC), when it was the earliest Greek settlement in the north-west Black Sea region and was mentioned by the Greek historian Herodotus as Emporion Kremnoi. . [17] In the 13th century, Pisan merchants founded the colony Portus Pisanus, which, however, did not last long. [18] Taganrog was founded by Peter the Great on September 12, 1698. [3] The first Russian Navy base, it hosted the Azov flotilla of Catherine the Great (1770–1783), which later became the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Taganrog received city status in 1775. [4]

By the end of the 18th century, Taganrog lost its importance as a military base after Crimea and the entire Sea of ​​Azov were annexed to the Russian Empire. In 1802, Emperor Alexander I granted the city special status, which lasted until 1887. In 1825, Alexander I's palace in Taganrog was used as his summer residence, and he died there in November 1825. Also in Taganrog is the House of the Teacher, a mansion, in which featured numerous artists. Although it was shelled and damaged by the Anglo-French fleet in 1855, [18] Taganrog became an important trading port, used for the import and export of grain, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The city's industrialization increased when Belgian and German investors established a boiler house, a foundry, a tannery and an oil factory. By 1911, fifteen foreign consulates had opened in the city. [19]

During World War II, Taganrog was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1943 during Operation Barbarossa, when two divisions entered the city on October 17, 1941, followed by Wehrmacht divisions. The city suffered greatly. The occupation led to the replacement of the local government system with a Bürgermeisteramt

In foreign literature, the city was mentioned in the title of Der Tote von Taganrog

by Eberhard von Cranach-Sichart and
Taganrog
by Reinhold Schneider.

In 2004, Sabina Wichert published a collection of poems " Taganrog"

.

In Maria Kuntsevichova's 1945 novel The Stranger (New York, LB Fischer), the city of Taganrog plays an important role as a place of nostalgic happiness for the exiled Polish musician and matriarch Rosa.

The “reset” of Taganrog began with the visit of the Speaker of the Federation Council

The starting point for creating the “road map” can be considered the visit of Federation Council Chairman Valentin Matvienko to the Rostov region in September last year. Then she visited the Sambek Heights memorial complex, as well as Taganrog itself, noting the high tourism potential of the city and region. The speaker promised that she would provide budget support to develop tourism there.

“Taganrog is Peter’s city, and she was the governor of St. Petersburg...”, Don Governor Vasily Golubev explained the motives of the federal official on the air of the regional TV channel Don24.

At the same time, according to Deputy Governor Alexander Scriabin, with the support of the head of the region, the city administration took the initiative to develop a set of measures for the development of Taganrog as a tourist center. In terms of tourism development, a comprehensive balneological study of the territory, classification of the beaches of the sea coast, and installation of tourist navigation signs were planned. The project also included the holding of events that have become the hallmark of the city: the “Defense of Taganrog 1855” and “Umbrella Morning” festivals, the Chekhov regatta “The Seagull”, the Chekhov Theater Festival. The creation of an exposition of the local history museum (Alferaki Palace) and activities to promote the city within the framework of the tourist brand of the “Free Don” region were also noted.

However, this was a list of far from the most financially intensive events. Much more large-scale work includes the reconstruction of roads, improvement of popular city locations, and development of a hotel complex. The organization of regular passenger transport by water transport between tourist centers not only in the region, but also in the south of Russia was also considered. All this should attract more tourists to the city. However, specific targets were never presented.

The only attempt to attract the public to such a large-scale project was that until February 14, a call for proposals from Taganrozh residents was announced. More than 300 messages were sent to the city administration's email address. Then all of them were analyzed and structured by the administration staff. As a result, until 2023, they planned activities “with a confirmed budget” to organize festivals, modernize the track and power grid, update the rolling stock of city electric transport, repair and restoration of facades and roofs of historical buildings, and modernize the water supply and sewerage system. In the longer term, it is planned to modernize the lines of outdoor lighting networks, reclaim the solid waste landfill, develop a set of rules and recommendations for the formation of a unified design code, as well as improvement and reconstruction of streets and beaches, water supply systems, and bank protection works.

In March, information appeared on the regional administration’s website about the creation of a working group for the integrated development of the city as a tourist center. It consists of 32 people, the vast majority of whom are regional and municipal officials. Only five from this list are representatives of public organizations and businesses. The group was led by Alexander Scriabin.

Details of the program and financing procedure are not yet ready

As the city administration told Expert YUG, the road map for the integrated development of Taganrog is now “in the process of updating.” It is not reported who is developing and updating this project. The volume of financing for events until 2023 is more than 21.6 billion rubles. In 2022, Russia celebrates the 350th anniversary of the birth of Peter I. Taganrog, which he founded, is also included in the celebration program. In honor of this event, Taganrog promises to overhaul the facades of 230 houses. Half of them are cultural heritage sites. Construction work is also underway on the city's road transport system.

By 2023, the ongoing reconstruction of the tram network should be completely completed. Active work has already begun: its cost is estimated at 11.8 billion rubles, according to the concession agreement concluded between the city administration, as well as the Sinara group (controlled by Tagmet) and the state. This project, by the way, will become the largest in the field of public-private partnership in the South.
