Story

The village of Kamyzyak (Turkic: Kamysaq, Qamyzaq - reed thickets[3]) arose in 1560 as a fishing ground, which Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich gave to the princes Kurakin in the mid-17th century. The convenient location and rich catches allowed the Kurakin princes to develop extensive business activities. The fish catch was so great that these places were called “Golden Bottom”. At the Kamyzyak uchug there was a wooden church of the Smolensk Mother of God with a chapel for St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

In 1568, Abbot Kirill, who was sent to Astrakhan, founded the Astrakhan Trinity Monastery. In 1646, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich confirmed with a letter that Ivanchugsky Uchug and Trinity Hill belonged to the monastery. In 1655, the monks built the Church of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity in Ivanchug. In 1670, shortly after the capture of Astrakhan, Stepan Razin visited Ivanchug Uchug. Here he assembled a fleet and began his campaign in Persia in the spring.

In 1722, Peter I visited these places. In 1860, on the occasion of the construction of a fairway on the Sharapovskaya Spit for the free passage of steamships and sea vessels, the stope in the Kamyzyak River was broken out. In 1872, under the tenant Mukhanov, the gangs were moved from Kamyzyak 20 miles closer to the sea, and the population remained to live on the site of the former camp.

In the 1890s, a two-class parochial school, a rural one-class men's school and a women's school were opened in the village. In 1900, a library was opened at the teahouse. In 1901, the population was 3,066 people (520 households). The population was engaged in fishing. The village housed two churches, a brick factory, a fishing company, several manufacturing and grocery stores, one wine shop and a private pharmacy. To provide medical care to the population, there was an emergency room with one paramedic. The main population is Russians, Kazakhs, Tatars.

In 1925, the Kamyzyak district was formed, and the village of Kamyzyak became the regional center. As of January 1, 1972, the population of Kamyzyak was 11 thousand people. By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR dated February 2, 1973, the village was transformed into a city of district subordination. Nearby settlements were included in the urban area: the villages of Tabola, Zarechnoye, Krutaya Berega, Azovo-Dolgoe. By January 1, 1975, the population was 12.7 thousand.

On August 6, 2004, in accordance with the Law of the Astrakhan Region No. 43/2004-OZ[4], the municipal formation “City of Kamyzyak” was formed and given the status of an urban settlement.

On March 29, 2006, the city found itself in the zone of the longest total phase of a total solar eclipse.

Economy

There are two food enterprises there: the Kamris canning and rice plant, as well as a poultry farm. A significant part of the local residents are engaged in fishing, meat and dairy cattle breeding and the production of pectin from watermelon feed are developing. In addition, a research institute for melon and vegetable growing is located in Kamyzyak (Astrakhan region). Local watermelons, including rare varieties, are known far beyond the region.

Among the industrial enterprises in the city of Kamyzyak, Astrakhan region, there is a factory for the production of body armor and uniforms for the Russian police and a brick factory. A construction company was founded several years ago. It is she who is engaged in the construction of new real estate in Kamyzyak, Astrakhan region. In addition, the city has several light industrial enterprises.

Best Performances

A distinctive feature of the “Team of the Kamyzyak Territory” is Azamat’s peculiar dialogue with the audience during the greeting, when the captain addresses the audience:

“What are you saying, boy?”

It is worth noting that they were the first to have such a “trick” as the team’s general laughter at a participant’s joke. Later, other Kaveen players began to use this technique.

Among the best numbers of the guys are “Kamyzyak Court”, “Mowgli and the Fire Flower”, “White Guards”, “Maslyakov Jr. and Azamat Fishing”, “How the Chicken Saved Kamyzyak”.

Talking about the numbers with the Kamyzyak court, Azamat Musagaliev recalls that there might not have been jokes about the judge and the sessions. The leadership of the Kamyzyak district approached the team with a request to remove the numbers from the repertoire. With the support of AMiK, they managed to defend the KVN number that later became iconic.

“Team of the Kamyzyak region” - Song about the mayor

Each of the team members has musical abilities - vocals and mastery of musical instruments. Thanks to this, the group “Kamyzyak Dogs” (“KamyzyakiBand”) appeared on the KVN stage.

Kaveen players perform musical numbers in the “yard Rock'n'Rap” genre. The jury gave maximum points to such numbers as the camouflage rap “The love of a military registration and enlistment nurse for a conscript,” “Appeal to Barack Obama,” and “Love without borders.”

The group has several recorded tracks and filmed videos; in 2019, the musicians released the collection “Cute Album”.

The guys note that they can joke whenever and about anything. They are not afraid of anyone, but they still clarify: there is a list of topics that are off-limits to jokes: religion, wars and diseases.

Excerpt characterizing Kamyzyak

“Trunila, first of all, is not a dog, but a survivor,” thought Nikolai and looked sternly at his sister, trying to make her feel the distance that should have separated them at that moment. Natasha understood this. “Don’t think, uncle, that we will interfere with anyone,” said Natasha. We will remain in our place and not move. “And a good thing, countess,” said the uncle. “Just don’t fall off your horse,” he added: “otherwise it’s pure marching!” – there’s nothing to hold on to. The island of the Otradnensky order was visible about a hundred yards away, and those arriving were approaching it. Rostov, having finally decided with his uncle where to throw the hounds from and showing Natasha a place where she could stand and where nothing could run, set off for a race over the ravine. “Well, nephew, you’re becoming like a seasoned man,” said the uncle: don’t bother ironing (etching). “As necessary,” answered Rostov. - Karai, fuit! - he shouted, responding with this call to his uncle’s words. Karai was an old and ugly, brown-haired male, famous for the fact that he single-handedly took on a seasoned wolf. Everyone took their places. The old count, knowing his son’s hunting ardor, hurried not to be late, and before those who arrived had time to drive up to the place, Ilya Andreich, cheerful, rosy, with trembling cheeks, rode up on his little black ones along the greenery to the hole left for him and, straightening his fur coat and putting on his hunting clothes, shells, climbed onto his smooth, well-fed, quiet and kind, gray-haired Bethlyanka like him. The horses and droshky were sent away. Count Ilya Andreich, although not a hunter by heart, but who firmly knew the hunting laws, rode into the edge of the bushes from which he was standing, took apart the reins, adjusted himself in the saddle and, feeling ready, looked back smiling. Next to him stood his valet, an ancient but overweight rider, Semyon Chekmar. Chekmar kept in his pack three dashing, but also fat, like the owner and the horse - wolfhounds. Two dogs, smart, old, lay down without packs. About a hundred paces further away in the edge of the forest stood another of the Count's stirrups, Mitka, a desperate rider and passionate hunter. The Count, according to his old habit, drank a silver glass of hunting casserole before the hunt, had a snack and washed it down with a half-bottle of his favorite Bordeaux. Ilya Andreich was a little flushed from the wine and the ride; his eyes, covered with moisture, shone especially, and he, wrapped in a fur coat, sitting on the saddle, had the appearance of a child who was going for a walk. Thin, with drawn-in cheeks, Chekmar, having settled down with his affairs, glanced at the master with whom he lived for 30 years in perfect harmony, and, understanding his pleasant mood, waited for a pleasant conversation. Another third person approached cautiously (apparently he had already learned) from behind the forest and stopped behind the count. The face was that of an old man with a gray beard, wearing a woman's hood and a high cap. It was the jester Nastasya Ivanovna. “Well, Nastasya Ivanovna,” the count said in a whisper, winking at him, “just trample the beast, Danilo will give you the task.” “I myself... have a mustache,” said Nastasya Ivanovna. - Shhh! – the count hissed and turned to Semyon. – Have you seen Natalya Ilyinichna? – he asked Semyon. - Where is she? “He and Pyotr Ilyich got up in the weeds from the Zharovs,” answered Semyon, smiling. - They are also ladies, but they have a great desire. - Are you surprised, Semyon, how she drives... huh? - said the count, if only the man was in time! - How not to be surprised? Boldly, deftly. -Where is Nikolasha? Is it above the Lyadovsky top? – the count kept asking in a whisper. - That's right, sir. They already know where to stand. They know how to drive so subtly that sometimes Danila and I are amazed,” said Semyon, knowing how to please the master. - It drives well, huh? And what about the horse, huh? - Paint a picture! Just the other day, a fox was snatched from the Zavarzinsky weeds. They began to jump over, out of delight, passion - the horse is a thousand rubles, but the rider has no price. Look for such a fine fellow! “Search...,” the count repeated, apparently regretting that Semyon’s speech ended so soon. - Search? - he said, turning away the flaps of his fur coat and taking out a snuff box. “The other day, as Mikhail Sidorich came out from mass in full regalia...” Semyon did not finish, hearing the rut clearly heard in the quiet air with the howling of no more than two or three hounds. He bowed his head, listened and silently threatened the master. “They’ve attacked the brood...” he whispered, and they led him straight to Lyadovskaya. The count, having forgotten to wipe the smile from his face, looked ahead along the lintel into the distance and, without sniffing, held the snuffbox in his hand. Following the barking of the dogs, a voice was heard from the wolf, sent into Danila’s bass horn; the pack joined the first three dogs and the voices of the hounds could be heard roaring loudly, with that special howl that served as a sign of the rutting of the wolf. Those arriving no longer squawked, but hooted, and from behind all the voices came Danila’s voice, sometimes bassy, ​​sometimes piercingly thin. Danila’s voice seemed to fill the entire forest, came out from behind the forest and sounded far into the field. After listening in silence for a few seconds, the count and his stirrup became convinced that the hounds had split into two flocks: one large one, roaring especially hotly, began to move away, the other part of the flock rushed along the forest past the count, and in the presence of this flock Danila’s hooting could be heard. Both of these ruts merged, shimmered, but both moved away. Semyon sighed and bent down to straighten the bundle in which the young male was entangled; The count also sighed and, noticing the snuff-box in his hand, opened it and took out a pinch. "Back!" Semyon shouted at the dog, who stepped out beyond the edge. The Count shuddered and dropped his snuffbox. Nastasya Ivanovna got down and began to lift her. The Count and Semyon looked at him. Suddenly, as often happens, the sound of the rut instantly came closer, as if, right there in front of them, there were the barking mouths of dogs and the hooting of Danila. The count looked around and to the right he saw Mitka, who was looking at the count with rolling eyes and, raising his hat, pointed him forward, to the other side. - Take care! - he shouted in such a voice that it was clear that this word had been painfully asking him to come out for a long time. And he galloped, releasing the dogs, towards the count. The Count and Semyon jumped out of the edge of the forest and to their left they saw a wolf, which, softly waddling, quietly jumped up to their left to the very edge at which they were standing. The evil dogs squealed and, breaking away from the pack, rushed towards the wolf past the legs of the horses. The wolf stopped running, awkwardly, like a sick toad, turned his big forehead to the dogs, and also softly waddling, jumped once, twice and, shaking a log (tail), disappeared into the edge of the forest. At that same moment, from the opposite edge of the forest, with a roar similar to crying, one, another, a third hound jumped out in confusion, and the whole pack rushed across the field, through the very place where the wolf had crawled (ran) through. Following the hounds, the hazel bushes parted and Danila’s brown horse, blackened with sweat, appeared. On her long back, in a lump, lolling forward, sat Danila, without a hat, with gray, tousled hair over a red, sweaty face. “Whoop, whoop!” he shouted. When he saw the count, lightning flashed in his eyes. “F...” he shouted, threatening the count with his raised arapnik. -About...the wolf!...hunters! - And as if not deigning the embarrassed, frightened count with further conversation, he, with all the anger he had prepared for the count, hit the sunken wet sides of the brown gelding and rushed after the hounds. The Count, as if punished, stood looking around and trying with a smile to make Semyon regret his situation. But Semyon was no longer there: he, taking a detour through the bushes, jumped the wolf from the abatis. Greyhounds also jumped over the beast from both sides. But the wolf walked through the bushes and not a single hunter intercepted him.

Title[edit | edit code]

There are three versions of the origin of the city's name. According to the first, the name of the city is an oikonym of Turkic origin (Kaz. Kamysaq, Qamysaq - reed thickets[6]), and is derived from a phytonymic term[7]. According to the second version, when Russian residents first settled in these areas, the Kazakhs and Kalmyks called them “uzeks”, “komuzeks”, which in Russian means “sandy erik”. Since then, the village began to be called Kamyzyak. According to the third version, the name is a hydronym from the Kazakh kamysozek

- “reed channel” (
kamys
- “reed”,
ozek
- “channel”).
