Population of Tver 2022 city size, official, how many people live on January 1, census

Tver city is not the largest regional city in the Central Federal District. Its population is a little more than 400 thousand, the area of ​​the city, located on the two banks of the upper Volga, is only 152 square meters. kilometer

Historians have still not come to a consensus about the age of the settlement. Nevertheless, it seems to us that we can distinguish the stages of “growing up”:

Fortress in Tver

The first chronicle mention of the toponymic name dates back to 1135. The settlement was already crowded and developing rapidly. In “Russian History” (18th century), the historian Tatishchev assumed that the settlement was founded in 1181 - the construction of a fortress (firm) in the lower reaches of the Volga is mentioned. Apparently, this is where the name of the area came from - Tver. As a city, it began to develop after the invasion and destruction of the fortress by the Golden Horde.

As part of the Russian Empire

Very soon Tver became the center of the liberation movement from the Golden Horde, gaining political strength. For two centuries, the principality fought against Muscovy for its independence, demonstrating the strength and inaccessibility of the fortress. Only at the end of the 15th century were Moscow troops able to capture Tver, which forever lost its independence and became part of the Russian state.

From now on, it played a significant role in the development of trade routes. The city became the first seaport built on the great Russian river, and then became a province of the St. Petersburg province

Renaming

The city bore its name for several centuries, until during the Soviet years it was renamed Kalinin (in honor of the All-Russian headman, born in Tver). At this time, the industrial production of the territory was developing, at the same time, ancient monuments were being destroyed and churches were being destroyed. After almost 60 years, the city was returned to its historical name.

Reviews from tourists with photos

Tver is visited by tourists both purposefully and while passing through. The time of year is usually not important: people come here both in summer and winter. This is partly facilitated by the proximity of large cities and the location between the two capitals of Russia. Many people come to the city to see it in a day. Users of the site shared routes and impressions in their stories:

Climate and disasters of Tver

The regional Upper Volga lowland, which influences its climate, is temperate continental. Such “moderation” would be comfortable for living if not for the high humidity, bordering on 90 percent. This is due to the fact that the city is located on both banks of the Volga, with the Tvertsa, Tmaka, Lazur, and Sominka rivers flowing through it.

.

Natural disasters also happen in Tver. Residents of the Moscow and Leningrad regions in the winter of 2012-2013 cursed the Tver roads, which city services could not clear of snow debris for several days. Hundreds of vehicles were captured for several days. In the spring, the Volga received an unprecedented amount of water, and an extraordinary flood began: all the piers went under water, and the River Station almost flooded.

In the summer, a hurricane of unprecedented force occurred in Tver, which demolished the roofs of houses, felled trees, and cut wires.

Unprecedented frosts occur in the city - on New Year's Day 1979, the air temperature dropped to 44 degrees below zero. In August 2010 there was almost the same temperature with a plus sign.

Housing and communal services tariffs

Utilities in Tver increased in 2022 and increased again in 2022. On the website of the Government of the Tver Region you can see the current prices for electricity, water, gas and other types of utilities.

On websites, Tver residents constantly complain about the work of housing and communal services employees. After all, residents of houses often have to deal with non-functioning sewage systems and untimely garbage collection.

Many people complain about high tariffs and the services provided. City residents believe that prices do not correspond to the quality of communal services.

In 2022, the cost of housing and communal services was:

• electricity – 4.27 rubles/kW;
• water supply - 21.95 rubles;
• water disposal - 22.72 rubles;
• gas – 8,342 rubles/1 m3 (for water heaters and cooking);
• gas – 5,475 rub./1 m3 (heating);
• waste disposal – 96.5 rub. from one person who is registered in a house or apartment.

Not all companies that serve apartment buildings and the private sector have increased heating and gas tariffs. They achieved this through city subsidies allocated for utilities.

Ecology in Tver

Tver is a large industrial center, where there are enterprises in the fuel and energy complex, mechanical engineering, and the chemical industry. Moscow is located 138 kilometers from the regional center - often winds from the metropolis carry smog to small Tver.

Local ecologists have identified several pockets of instability:

• Right bank part – negative impact of thermal power complex enterprises, chemical industry and municipal wastewater treatment plants was noted

• Historical center – a huge amount of traffic is concentrated on narrow streets
• Proletarsky district - negative impact of the Tverskaya Manufactory, the western part of the region where the railway passes
• Zavolzhsky district - unfavorable environmental situation in the area of ​​operation of the largest enterprise of Tver Carriage Works
• North-eastern part of the right bank - the maximum permissible concentration of harmful substances at the construction materials plant has been exceeded.

Population

According to 2014 data from Rosstat, the city is home to just over 410 thousand people. They are divided according to nationality as follows:

• Russians (more than 90 percent)
• Ukrainians (one and a half percent)
• Belarusians (one percent)
• Karelians (half a percent)

Germans, Chechens, Armenians, Gypsies, Chuvashs, and Azerbaijanis also live in the city.

Since 1989, when the population of Tver reached 450 thousand people, there has been a steady process of decline in the number of city residents. And it’s not so much a matter of natural decline: young active people are leaving for the capitals in search of work. Hence, the city’s demographic problems: aging population, declining birth rate.

According to Rosstat, the region ranks 34th in Russia in terms of population. The share of Tver residents in the Russian Federation is slightly less than one percent.

The unemployment rate in Tver is half that of the region as a whole. According to the information of the Main Directorate for Labor and Employment of the Tver Region, it is 0.4 percent as of October 1, 2014, and 0.9 percent for the region as a whole. But Rosstat gives other data - the Tver region is in last place in the Central Federal District in terms of unemployment - 5.4 percent.

The number of unemployed is 38,400 people (data as of October 1, 2014). Something doesn’t fit in with the information from the statistical authorities, which knows everything, and the government of the Tver region.

Small and medium-sized businesses employ over 70 thousand people.

Ethnic composition

The All-Russian population census, which was carried out in 2010, showed that the majority of residents of Tver consider themselves Russian. About 5 thousand people are Ukrainians. Other ethnic groups are also represented. Among them are Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Belarusians, Tatars, Karelians, Uzbeks, Tajiks. The share of Chuvash, Jews, Germans, Mordovians, Georgians, Bashkirs, Kazakhs and others is insignificant. There are Azerbaijani and Armenian dynasties in Tver.

Tver is proud of them

The galaxy of famous people of the Tver land dates back to the time when the city played a major role in the formation of the Russian state.

At the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, Mikhail Yaroslavich Tverskoy fought with the Moscow house of Rurikovich for the independence of his principality.

Tver is associated with the name of Karl Ivanovich Rossi, who at the beginning of the 19th century supervised architectural work in the city and rebuilt the Imperial Palace.

Grand Duke Vasily the Dark was hiding in Tver after the defeat from the troops of Yuri Dolgorukov. Afanasy Nikitin, Tver merchant and traveler, the exact year of his birth is not known. At the end of the 15th century he traveled to India.

Alexey Fedorovich Golovinsky, hereditary honorary citizen. He served as mayor for 30 years.

Born here:

• Mikhail Kalinin, All-Russian headman
• Andrey Tupolev, TU aircraft designer
• Andrey Dementyev, poet
• Mikhail Krug, poet and composer

Story

Start

In non-chronicle written sources, Tver was first mentioned in 1127−1135. Birch bark letters found on the territory of the Tver Kremlin date back to the end of the 12th - beginning of the 13th centuries.

According to ancient written sources, in the second half of the 12th century, Tver was a small fortress on the western border of the Suzdal principality. In the first third of the 13th century it was part of the Pereyaslav Principality. In 1238, the city was devastated by the Mongol-Tatars, but quickly recovered from the defeat.

In the 1240s. The Great Tver Principality was formed, which became one of the political and cultural centers of Rus'. The Tver region is becoming the most important trade and craft region; the route from Novgorod to Moscow passes here.

The city grew quickly. In 1265 Tver became the center of the diocese. Even the devastating fires of 1276 and 1282, typical of wooden ancient Russian cities, could not prevent the growth of the city. At the turn of the 12th – 14th centuries, during the reign of Grand Duke Mikhail Yaroslavich, Tver was the center of the Russian state.

//

Grand Duke Mikhail Yaroslavovich of Tverskoy

Mikhail Yaroslavich Tverskoy (1271-1318) - Grand Duke of All Rus', Prince of Tverskoy (1282 or 1286-1318), in 1305-1318 - Grand Duke of Vladimir. He waged a continuous struggle with Novgorod and with the Moscow prince Yuri Danilovich. By order of Khan Uzbek, he was killed in the Golden Horde, after which the great reign passed to Moscow Prince Yuri Danilovich.

The date of Mikhail Tverskoy’s ascension to the Grand Duke’s throne is interpreted in various sources as either 1304 or 1305. This is due to the fact that the Grand Duke of Vladimir Andrei Alexandrovich, who died in 1304, bequeathed the great reign to Mikhail, but the Moscow Prince Yuri Danilovich also laid claim to the grand-ducal throne. Mikhail and Yuri went to the khan for trial. As a result, Mikhail received the khan’s charter in 1305 and, having arrived in Vladimir, was promoted by Metropolitan to the throne of the Great Reign.

In the correspondence between Michael and the Patriarch of Constantinople Niphon I (held in 1310-1314), the address Grand Duke of All Rus' was used - to date, this is the first known use of such an address to the rulers of Rus'.

Death of the Grand Duke

In 1317, another armed conflict occurred between Mikhail Yaroslavich of Tver and Yuri Danilovich of Moscow, known as the Battle of Bortenev, as a result of which Yuri’s wife, Konchak (sister of Uzbek Khan, great-granddaughter of Genghis Khan), was captured by the Tver prince. Soon she died in Tver (according to some sources, she was poisoned by Muscovites in order to turn Uzbek against the Tver prince), and the struggle flared up with renewed vigor. Both princes were forced to go to the Horde. The Khan's trial took place, after which Mikhail Tverskoy was put in stocks. A month later, after much torment and bullying, the Grand Duke was killed by the people of Yuri Danilovich and Kavgady, a Tatar supporter of the Moscow prince. The coffin with the body of Mikhail Yaroslavich was transported to Tver only a year later, after the conclusion of an agreement between Yuri and Mikhail Tverskoy’s son Alexander. Prince Mikhail Tverskoy was buried in the Transfiguration Cathedral of the city on the banks of the Volga. Mikhail Tverskoy was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in the ranks of the faithful in 1549. On May 23, 2008, on the central square of Tver - Sovetskaya - a monument to the city's heavenly patron, Holy Blessed Prince Mikhail Yaroslavich, by sculptor Andrei Kovalchuk was unveiled. In the City Garden of Tver, near the Volga Descent, a worship cross was built, and at the place where the Tmaka flows into the Volga, the Church of Mikhail Tverskoy was erected.

Tver in the Moscow Principality

After the death of Mikhail Yaroslavich, the grand-ducal throne passed to Moscow. Tver and the surrounding lands were annexed to the Moscow Principality in 1485 under Ivan III. During the reign of Ivan IV the Terrible, by his order, Tver was devastated: the city was burned, more than 10,000 residents died. After this terrible shock, the city was no longer able to achieve its former greatness and never again laid claim to the role of the capital.

Restoration of Tver

In 1763, a severe fire destroyed the central part of Tver, and ten years later the Trans-Volga side burned out. By order of Catherine II, an entire “architect team” was created under the leadership of P.R. Nikitin, whose goal was to rebuild the center of Tver in stone according to a regular layout. The main features of this layout were the long axial Millionnaya Street (now Sovetskaya), so named because a million rubles from the tsar’s treasury were allocated for the construction of stone houses in the city center; as well as the “Versailles trident”: a three-ray composition of streets converging at one point, modeled after a similar urban planning technique in St. Petersburg.

In 1764-1766, the main architectural landmark of Tver was erected - the Traveling Palace of Empress Catherine. The palace was built in the classical style with baroque elements according to the design of M. F. Kazakov, at the same time, between the Travel Palace and the Volga, the City Garden was laid out, which is a favorite place for the townspeople to hang out today.

In the 19th century, the center of Tver was decorated with several more notable buildings - the house of noble meetings (now the House of Officers, architect I. F. Lvov), the ensemble of administrative buildings on Octagonal (Lenin) Square, etc. In 1851, movement began along the Nikolaevskaya railway, connecting Tver with St. Petersburg and Moscow. In 1900, a permanent bridge across the Volga was built in the city according to the design of the Czech engineer L. Mashek.

The twentieth century

In 1931, Tver was renamed Kalinin in honor of a native of the Tver province M.I. Kalinin. In the 30s of the 20th century, during the fight against religion, dozens of churches and architectural monuments of the 17th-19th centuries were demolished. In particular, in 1935 the Transfiguration Cathedral was blown up.

The Great Patriotic War caused great damage to the cities of the Tver region, when many architectural monuments were destroyed, factories and enterprises were destroyed. The post-war restoration of the region was primarily aimed at economically significant objects.

After the Great Patriotic War, a second bridge appeared in the city. The disassembled elements of the bridge of Lieutenant Schmidt from Leningrad were used as the spans of this bridge.

In 1980-1990 work begins on the restoration and study of temple architectural monuments, many of which were destroyed under Soviet rule.

In 1990, the city returned its historical name and coat of arms.

Zavolzhsky

The district includes the entire left bank part of Tver. Here the Tvertsa River flows into the Volga River. At the same time, on the territory of the Zavolzhsky district there is the pride of modern Tver - a carriage building plant, where about 8 thousand people work.

Secret places of Tver that no guidebook will tell you about

Art Khrushchev with shards

View this post on Instagram

Publication from Guide in Tver Veronica Ester (@gid_veronika_ester)

In the mid-50s of the last century, Tver builders approached the creation of standard Khrushchev-style panels creatively. Although the five-story buildings turned out to be typical, as throughout the country, they had shards of glazed ceramics mounted into the walls. This is unlikely to be seen in any other Russian city. Shards of dishes were pressed into the wall of one of these houses: multi-colored cups, plates, saucers and other fragments. Looks very cool. But for this miracle you will have to travel far from the city center.

Address: Nikolay Korytkov Avenue, 34.

House on Rybatskaya

There is a luxurious house in the Art Nouveau style on Rybatskaya Street. It's tiny, but incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately, the house is now in a terrible state, although it is a cultural heritage site of regional significance.

It was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The name of the architect is unknown. There is a version that the project belongs to engineer P.F. Bogomolov. Under the three high windows of the residential floor, near the ground, there are square windows of the semi-basement - now it is quite difficult to see them. The windows have stucco with floral ornaments and sandriks with locks. Find a window there decorated with a mascaron (female mask).

Address: st. Rybatskaya, 44.

Otto Martin House

The spire of the tower of this house can be seen from Stepan Razin embankment.

The house has an interesting history. It was built in 1910 for Otto Martin, a Moscow brewer of Austrian origin. The owner came up with the project in the Russian Art Nouveau style himself, introducing into it elements of the Gothic style popular in Europe. After the revolution, Otto left the country, and the house was used by various services.

In 2001, the building suffered a severe fire that destroyed the upper part of the structure.

The half-burnt house was saved by the Tver philanthropist and architect Chovushyan, who launched large-scale restoration work there. The house was restored according to Martin's surviving drawings. But there were no reliable drawings of the weather vane that once crowned the two-story octagonal tower with a steep hipped roof, so the rooster was made according to a drawing by Tver sculptor Andrei Komlev.

In 2022, a bronze sculpture of a rooster was placed on Trekhsvyatskaya Street - an exact copy of the weather vane installed on the Russian Art Nouveau monument.

Address: st. Kropotkina, 31A.

Vyshny Volochek - large, but steadily decreasing

Vyshny Volochek, located 300 km from Moscow and 119 km from Tver, closes the top three. The density index here is even lower - 868.67, so there are no congestion or crowded streets, and even tourists do not disturb its quiet life too much. In the 18th century, it was listed as one of the largest and most comfortable settlements in the Tver region: several railway lines, more than ten churches and chapels passed through it, several schools and a dozen industrial enterprises operated.

From 1885 to 1973, the population increased almost 5 times: from 15,838 to 76,000. After that, a steady decline in the number of Volochan residents began: according to data for 2022, 46,908 live here. The decrease is due to natural decline and migration to larger settlements, especially Moreover, St. Petersburg and Moscow are located quite close.

Three of them specialize in the production of fabrics, and one makes national Russian shoes - felt boots. The sights are more diverse: the central city street, Kazansky Prospekt, is replete with remarkable houses and mansions of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Of interest are the Cathedral of the Epiphany with its miraculous icons, the Monastery of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God for women, and the Vyshnevolotsk water system - an outstanding achievement of 19th century designers.
