Dmitriev (city) View on map

Historians believe that Dmitriev was founded in the 7th–8th centuries AD. to strengthen the ties of ancient Russian tribes and protect against enemy attacks. In the 9th century, Prince Oleg the Prophet was involved in the construction of the city. He ordered the construction of a city on the site of the modern Old Town settlement, located in the village of Old Town on the right bank of the Svapa River. The Old Town settlement is classified as a Slavic monument of the 9th–13th centuries. Currently there is a cemetery on its territory.

Life at the site existed before the Mongol invasion, which, as is known, lasted from 1237 to 1240. In subsequent centuries, the lands on which the Dmitrievsky district and the city of Dmitriev are located today were ruined more than once, and the population was completely destroyed.

And only in the 17th century a settlement arose on the ruins, which later became known as the economic village of Dmitrievsky. The village received its name in honor of St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki.

The village of Dmitrievskoye was located on the bank of Svapa, indented by ravines. Its location was picturesque, but inconvenient, because residents obtained water from the river with “great difficulty,” as the planner noted. Two miles away, “on a flat site with a very capable population,” they decided to build a new village.

On May 23, 1779, by decree of Empress Catherine II, the village of Dmitrievskoye was transformed into the district town of Dmitriev. In 1780, a plan was drawn up for Dmitriev with the surrounding villages. In 1785, the city was renamed Dmitriev-on-Svap (or Dmitrosvapsk) in order to distinguish it from the city of Dmitrovsk, Oryol province.

Story

The history of Dmitrov began back in the 12th century - at this time Dmitrov was first mentioned in the chronicle. According to historical documents, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky ordered the foundation of a fortress on the banks of Yakhroma, which was done in 1154.

The XIII-XIV centuries were a turbulent time in the history of Dmitrov - a period of confrontation for the city between Tver and Moscow. In the middle of the 14th century, Dmitrov joined the Moscow Principality.

The history of Dmitrov cannot be called calm at all: the city was repeatedly attacked by enemies - Lithuanians and others, and was often destroyed almost to the ground.

In the XV-XVI centuries. The heyday of Dmitrov, the growth of the city, and the development of the economy began. It was from here that the so-called “water passage” began, the most important trade route along the Sestra, Yakhroma and Dubna rivers from Moscow. However, subsequently, after the construction of a trade road to the north through Yaroslavl and Vologda in the 16th century, the importance of Dmitrov decreased somewhat. However, a little later, Dmitrov began to supply vegetables and bread to St. Petersburg and again became one of the most important trading points in the Moscow region.

In the 18th century, the history of Dmitrov was already the history of an industrial city: tallow, tanneries and malt factories operated here.

The middle of the 19th century was a new period of decline in the history of Dmitrov, which was caused by the construction of the railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg. The population of Dmitrov decreased during this period.

During the USSR, new factories opened in Dmitrov - an excavator factory, a knitting factory, etc. And the construction of the canal named after. Moscow in 1937 turned Dmitrov into a large port city.

An interesting fact about Dmitrov: not far from the Bridge of Happiness in Dmitrov there is a memorial stone.

An excerpt characterizing Dmitriev (city)

Helen was in Erfurt during the famous meeting of the emperors, and from there she brought these connections with all the Napoleonic sights of Europe. In Erfurt it was a brilliant success. Napoleon himself, noticing her in the theater, said about her: “C'est un superbe animal.” [This is a beautiful animal.] Her success as a beautiful and elegant woman did not surprise Pierre, because over the years she became even more beautiful than before. But what surprised him was that during these two years his wife managed to acquire a reputation for herself “d’une femme charmante, aussi spirituelle, que belle.” [a lovely woman, as smart as she is beautiful.] The famous Prince de Ligne [Prince de Ligne] wrote eight-page letters to her. Bilibin saved his mots [words] to say them for the first time in front of Countess Bezukhova. To be received in the salon of Countess Bezukhova was considered a diploma of intelligence; young people read Helen's books before the evening so that they would have something to talk about in her salon, and the secretaries of the embassy, ​​and even envoys, confided diplomatic secrets to her, so Helen had strength in some way. Pierre, who knew that she was very stupid, sometimes attended her evenings and dinners, where politics, poetry and philosophy were discussed, with a strange feeling of bewilderment and fear. At these evenings he experienced a feeling similar to that which a magician should experience, each time expecting that his deception would be revealed. But was it because stupidity was precisely what was needed to run such a salon, or because the deceived themselves found pleasure in this deception, the deception was not discovered, and Elena Vasilyevna Bezukhova’s reputation as d’une femme charmante et spirituelle was so unshakably established that she could speak the greatest vulgarities and stupidities, and yet everyone admired her every word and looked for a deep meaning in it, which she herself did not even suspect. Pierre was exactly the husband that this brilliant, society woman needed. He was that absent-minded eccentric, the husband of a grand seigneur [great gentleman], not bothering anyone and not only not spoiling the general impression of the high tone of the living room, but, with his opposite to the grace and tact of his wife, serving as an advantageous background for her. During these two years, Pierre, as a result of his constant concentrated occupation with immaterial interests and sincere contempt for everything else, acquired for himself in the company of his wife, who was not interested in him, that tone of indifference, carelessness and benevolence towards everyone, which is not acquired artificially and which therefore inspires involuntary respect . He entered his wife's living room as if he were entering a theatre, he knew everyone, was equally happy with everyone and was equally indifferent to everyone. Sometimes he entered into a conversation that interested him, and then, without consideration of whether les messieurs de l'ambassade [employees at the embassy] were there or not, mumbled his opinions, which were sometimes completely out of tune with the present moment. But the opinion about the eccentric husband de la femme la plus distinguee de Petersbourg [the most remarkable woman in St. Petersburg] was already so established that no one took au serux [seriously] his antics. Among the many young people who visited Helen’s house every day, Boris Drubetskoy, who was already very successful in the service, was, after Helen’s return from Erfurt, the closest person in the Bezukhovs’ house. Helen called him mon page [my page] and treated him like a child. Her smile towards him was the same as towards everyone else, but sometimes Pierre was unpleasant to see this smile. Boris treated Pierre with special, dignified and sad respect. This shade of respect also worried Pierre. Pierre suffered so painfully three years ago from an insult inflicted on him by his wife that now he saved himself from the possibility of such an insult, firstly by the fact that he was not his wife’s husband, and secondly by the fact that he did not allow himself to suspect. “No, now having become a bas bleu [bluestocking], she has abandoned her former hobbies forever,” he said to himself. “There was no example of bas bleu having passions of the heart,” he repeated to himself, from nowhere, a rule he had learned, which he undoubtedly believed. But, strangely, the presence of Boris in his wife’s living room (and he was almost constantly) had a physical effect on Pierre: it bound all his limbs, destroyed unconsciousness and freedom of his movements. “Such a strange antipathy,” thought Pierre, “but before I even really liked him.” In the eyes of the world, Pierre was a great gentleman, a somewhat blind and funny husband of a famous wife, a smart eccentric who did nothing, but did not harm anyone, a nice and kind fellow. During all this time, a complex and difficult work of internal development took place in Pierre’s soul, which revealed a lot to him and led him to many spiritual doubts and joys. He continued his diary, and this is what he wrote in it during this time: “November 24th. “I got up at eight o’clock, read the Holy Scriptures, then went to office (Pierre, on the advice of a benefactor, entered the service of one of the committees), returned to dinner, dined alone (the Countess has many guests, unpleasant to me), ate and drank in moderation and After lunch I copied plays for my brothers. In the evening I went to the countess and told a funny story about B., and only then did I remember that I shouldn’t have done this when everyone was already laughing loudly. “I go to bed with a happy and calm spirit. Great Lord, help me to walk in Your paths, 1) to overcome some of the anger - with quietness, slowness, 2) lust - with abstinence and aversion, 3) to move away from vanity, but not to separate myself from a) public affairs, b) from family concerns , c) from friendly relations and d) economic pursuits.” “November 27th. “I got up late and woke up and lay on my bed for a long time, indulging in laziness. My God! help me and strengthen me, that I may walk in Your ways. I read Holy Scripture, but without the proper feeling. Brother Urusov came and talked about the vanities of the world. He talked about the new plans of the sovereign. I began to condemn, but I remembered my rules and the words of our benefactor that a true Freemason must be a diligent worker in the state when his participation is required, and a calm contemplator of what he is not called to. My tongue is my enemy. Brothers G.V. and O. visited me, there was a preparatory conversation for the acceptance of a new brother. They entrust me with the duty of a rhetorician. I feel weak and unworthy. Then they started talking about explaining the seven pillars and steps of the temple. 7 sciences, 7 virtues, 7 vices, 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit. Brother O. was very eloquent. In the evening the acceptance took place. The new arrangement of the premises contributed greatly to the splendor of the spectacle. Boris Drubetskoy was accepted. I proposed it, I was the rhetorician. A strange feeling worried me throughout my stay with him in the dark temple. I found in myself a feeling of hatred towards him, which I strive in vain to overcome. And therefore, I would truly like to save him from evil and lead him onto the path of truth, but bad thoughts about him did not leave me. I thought that his purpose in joining the brotherhood was only the desire to get closer to people, to be in favor with those in our lodge. Apart from the grounds that he asked several times whether N. and S. were in our box (to which I could not answer him), except that, according to my observations, he is incapable of feeling respect for our holy Order and is too busy and satisfied with the outer man, so as to desire spiritual improvement, I had no reason to doubt him; but he seemed insincere to me, and all the time when I stood with him eye to eye in the dark temple, it seemed to me that he was smiling contemptuously at my words, and I really wanted to prick his naked chest with the sword that I was holding, pointed at it. . I could not be eloquent and could not sincerely communicate my doubts to the brothers and the great master. Great Architect of nature, help me find the true paths that lead out of the labyrinth of lies.”
