About the city of Kimry

Kimry is a city of regional subordination, the center of the Kimry district. The city is located in the southeast of the Tver region on the largest and most abundant river in all of Europe - the Volga River (Uglich Reservoir) near the mouth of the Kimrka River.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was called Kimra, due to its location at the confluence of the Kimera River with the Volga. After the emergence of the village, it was renamed first to Kimerka, and then to Kimrka. V.N. Tatishchev assumed the formation of the name from the ethnonym Chimera (Cimmerians). More likely a later origin from a Finnish or Baltic base. In one case, the base “kim-” is associated with the Finnish kiima “tokovishte”, in the second case with the Lithuanian “kymzryne - a swamp with a lot of rotten stumps”. At the turn of the 20th century, the name of the city received a plural form.

History of the city of Kimry

The first time, then still the village of Kimry, was mentioned in the charter of Ivan the Terrible dated 1546. You can get acquainted in more detail with the contents of the first official mention of Kimry in one of the articles “Essays”. By that time it was already a fairly large trading village in the Korchevsky district of the Tver province, its inhabitants were famous as skilled artisans.

Back in 1677, the palace village was under the jurisdiction of the Grand Palace, then it belonged to the Saltykovs and Skavronskys. In 1847, the residents of this village were bought from Countess Yu.P. Samoilova to freedom with the land. On our website you can find out more detailed information about the owners of the village of Kimry.

Even Empress Catherine II favored Kimry with her attention. In her diary from 1767 you can find the following entry: “Hour by hour the banks of the Volga are getting better. Yesterday we passed Kimru, which from a distance is not inferior to Peterhof, but up close it’s not the same.” We propose to learn in more detail about the empress’s participation in the development of the village and the province as a whole in the article “Kimry - the village.”

In the 18th century, the village became the center of the shoemaking industry. Kimry craftsmen receive government orders to sew shoes for the army. By the beginning of the 20th century, the village already exceeded many county towns in terms of the number of inhabitants (10 thousand), and wealthy Kimryaks even built houses in the “modern” style. Those who are interested can read the architectural characteristics of the city on our website.

The change in the status of Kimry had been brewing for a long time, but Kimry received the right to be called a city only in June 1917. Later, the ancient village of Savelovo, where the railway station of the same name is located, belongs to the Oktyabrskaya Railway, connecting the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, also became part of the city. In 1926, a machine-building plant and a workers' village were built in Savelovo.

The Moscow-Savelovo railway line was put into operation in 1900. Traffic to Kalyazin was opened only in 1919. Since 1920, regular communication with Rybinsk and Vesyegonsk began, and in the mid-30s, traffic was opened to Uglich. Finally, the construction of the Ovinishche - Mga line, completed in the 50s, made the Savelovskaya branch a reserve backup for the Moscow-Leningrad railway. In 1978, the Verbilki-Savelovo section was electrified, which made communication with Moscow by electric trains possible.

For a long time, the Savelovo station was used for transshipment of cargo onto flat-boats, where they were transported along the Volga to Rybinsk and then transferred to barges. Since 1940, after the implementation of the “Big Volga” master plan as a result of the construction of the Ivankovsky, Uglich and Rybinsk hydroelectric complexes, the Volga became navigable to Tver and the need for transporting large cargo along the Savelovskaya branch disappeared.

Culture

On the high bank of the Volga, at the confluence of the Kimrka, there used to be the Intercession and St. Nicholas Cathedrals with a bell tower, which formed the then appearance of the city center. They were blown up in the 30s. Approximately in their place now stands the building of the city drama theater, which has been operating since 1942. Kimry also has its own crafts center and several newspapers are published.

In the center of the city, attention is drawn to the old shopping arcades, a bit reminiscent of the Moscow GUM in miniature. The building is empty and falling into disrepair.

If you walk from it along the street away from the Volga, then after a couple of hundred meters on the left on the corner there will be a local history museum. It was founded in 1918. The only shoe museum in Russia, the exhibition presents a large number of examples of Kimry shoes from the 18th - 20th centuries. Unique collections of sculptural works by local sculptor I.M. Abalyaev, reflecting the life and way of life of the Kimryaks and photographs by the photo chronicler of Kimr L.V. Shokin. There is a memorial hall to A.N. Tupolev, who was born in this city. In addition to the aircraft designer, the city is associated with biographies of such people as the writer A.A. Fadeev, poet O.E. Mandelstam, scientist M.M. Bakhtin. The artist A.K. Savrasov and the playwright A.N. Ostrovsky lived here for some time.

The current Church of the Transfiguration. The inside has been preserved quite well, apparently not from those that were recently handed over to believers.

On the spit of the Volga and Kimerka stands the second of the surviving churches - Voznesenskaya (early 19th century). It is being restored from a dilapidated state and has been in operation for several years.

Among the architecture of the city, private houses with turrets in the Art Nouveau style (apparently, the edge of the 19th-20th centuries) attract attention.

It should be noted that if it were not for the destruction of the center of Kimry during the years of Soviet power, its value within the framework of the “Golden Ring” would have been much higher. Currently, the appearance of the city is still affected by poverty and desolation. And in recent years, they have gained notoriety as “the small capital of the Russian drug business.”
