The history of the city of Novoshakhtinsk is closely intertwined with the history of the development of the Russian coal mining industry.
In fulfillment of the decree of Tsar Peter I of 1696 “to search, dig, smelt, cook and clean all kinds of metals,” a peasant from the Kostroma district, clerk Grigory Kapustin, exploring the area south of Voronezh, in the valley of the Kundryuchya River, came across layers of coal coming to the surface land (it is in the center of this area that the city of Novoshakhtinsk is located), as a result of which the development of coal in the Donetsk basin began. By the middle of the 19th century, small coal mines were established in the feather grass steppe on the banks of the once full-flowing Nesvetai River.

The settlement arose at the beginning of the century as a working settlement near a mine. Entrepreneur Kondrat Ivanovich Goncharov built and put into operation the first mine in the area of ​​​​the village of Sambek in 1909. Built under the supervision of academician A.A. Skochinsky's 242-fathom Elpidifor mine at the Paramonov mines was considered the deepest in Russia, and in terms of technical level it could be equated to the best mines in England and Germany. In 1916, according to the design of engineer A.A. Skochinsky, a mine with a metal headframe was laid, the most powerful coal mine in Russia, called the “Skochinsky tunnel” (later the OGPU mine, named after Lenin). As the coal industry developed, the Nesvetai – Gornaya railway line was built on the territory of the present city, and the following villages arose: Sokolovo-Kundryuchensky, Sambek, Bugultai. The association of which was named the Nesvetay mine.

After the October Revolution, now at the “III International” mine, intensive construction continued and coal mining enterprises were put into operation on the territory of the future city: the mine named after. OGPU, 141, 142; mine named after Kirov; mine No. 7; mine No. 5 (“Nesvetaevskaya”); Zapadnaya-Kapitalnaya mine. As the industry developed, the OGPU mine was recognized as the largest mine in the Soviet Union.

In Soviet times, the village began to be called Kominternovsky

(aka Comintern, named after the Third International).

On January 21, 1929, Kominternovsky became an urban-type working settlement.

Construction of the city of Kominternovsk

began with the approval of projects for the laying of mines No. 5 (Nesvetaevskaya), No. 7 (Kominternovskaya), No. 8 (Zapadnaya-Kapitalnaya) and with the construction of the largest central processing facility in the Soviet Union, Nesvetay. The construction of the city was carried out at a rapid pace: new roads were laid, new mines were put into operation, housing and cultural institutions were built.

On January 31, 1939, the village of Kominternovsky was merged with the village of Molotovsky (named after V.M. Molotov) and transformed into a city, which was given the name Novoshakhtinsk

. The new city specialized primarily in coal mining and maintenance of mining production.

During the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45, the city was occupied by Nazi troops for 206 days - from July 21, 1942 to February 13, 1943. Over five thousand residents of the city and surrounding villages were shot. As a result of the occupation, the mine workings were flooded with water, the mines were in a dilapidated state. Plants and factories were destroyed.

The city was liberated on February 13, 1943 by troops of the Southern Front during the Rostov operation.

In the first post-war years, the city significantly expanded its borders. New mines and factories appeared. The central processing plant "Nesvetay" and the group sorting plant "Yuzhnaya" rose from the ruins and began producing products. A garment factory, bread and dairy factories came into operation, and central mechanical workshops began operating.

In 1956, the first coal was produced by a new generation mine named after the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, and in 1963 by the Sokolovskaya mine. Along with them, a large village appeared on the map - Novaya Sokolovka.

In 1952, Novoshakhtinsk was crossed by the Moscow-Kharkov federal highway.

In 1954, a seven-year music school was opened. In 1956, an evening mining technical school was created, and in 1957, a sports youth school. In 1972, the city's local history museum and employment and information office were opened.

In the 1950s and 60s, the city experienced rapid construction of residential and public buildings. The buildings of the City Party Committee, the city library, the House of Sports, the House of Pioneers, three cinemas, five outpatient clinics, three children's clinics, two stadiums, a music school, and then an art school were built. In the 1960s, a garment factory, a nonwoven materials factory, brick and building materials factories, a House of Communications, a Wedding House, and the Zarya Hotel were built.

One of the oldest educational institutions in the city is the Novoshakhtinsky Mining Evening College (Novoshakhtinsky branch of the state educational institution of secondary vocational education of the Shakhty Regional College of Fuel and Energy named after Academician Stepanov P.I.), which was created in May 1965.

In the 1970-80s, a children's city hospital, a surgical complex, a neurological department, village hospitals (the villages of Sokolovo - Kundryuchensky, Sambek) and other medical institutions were built.

At the end of the 1990s, all the mines in the city were closed, and all the city's cinemas ceased operations.

In 2003, as a result of the restructuring of the coal industry carried out in the country, as well as the largest man-made accident in the industry at the Zapadnaya mine, the last operating coal mining enterprises in the city were closed.
Currently, the light and food industries, the construction industry, metal and woodworking are developing in the city of Novoshakhtinsk, and the retail network is expanding.

General information and history of the city

Like many cities in this region, Novoshakhtinsk owes its appearance to the coal deposits of Eastern Donbass.
The spontaneously emerging settlements of coal miners were united in 1910 into the village of Nesvetai. In 1913, entrepreneur Nikolai Paramonov, from the Rostov merchant dynasty, appeared in the settlement and breathed new life into the village. He builds 5 large mines, builds a railway, and arranges housing. The village is growing and developing, the village of Kominternovsky was merged with the village of Molotovsky, and named Novoshakhtinsky.

After the war, new industrial enterprises based on the use of mined coal were actively built in the city. The majority of the working population is employed in coal mining; the work of a miner was held in high esteem and was paid very well.

Novoshakhtinsk

Novoshakhtinsk was the first city in the region where all mines were closed in post-Soviet times. Despite the fact that Rostov coal is the best in Russia in terms of calorific value, the enterprises were declared unprofitable and were subject to liquidation. Power plants in the country switched to gas, machine-building enterprises to petroleum products, and enterprising owners of coal mines, in exchange for compensation for mothballing the mines, declared them unprofitable and closed them.

Needless to say, in the dashing nineties no measures were taken to properly liquidate the mines. At most they were filled with water, or even simply left abandoned.

The decline also affected Novoshakhtinsk. The once thriving monotown was forced to close its dairy plant, defense enterprises, and cinemas. Currently, the state is trying to breathe new life into the region by opening new industrial enterprises and creating new jobs.

Climate and ecology of Novoshakhtinsk

Novoshakhtinsk is a steppe city, so winds often rage on the streets, bringing dust in the fall and ice in the winter. The climate in the city is temperate continental, Azov-Don steppe. There are sharp temperature changes across the seasons, the hottest month is July +22, +24 C, the coldest month is January - 7, - 8 C. Winter is mild, almost snowless.

According to the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation for 2011, Novoshakhtinsk was among the ten most environmentally friendly cities in the country. This is not surprising - waste heaps from mines (artificial dumps of rock and soil accompanying coal mining) have long ceased to smoke or generate dust; most of them are overgrown with grass and bushes.

Old waste heaps

On the border of the city there is a large drinking reservoir with clean water. Due to the absence of a large number of industrial enterprises, almost no harmful gases and substances are emitted into the city's atmosphere. The pollution from transport traffic is also very low.

Although in the center everything is as always in the heart of any city: transport, dust, and gas pollution.

Population of Novoshakhtinsk

A sharp outflow of population was observed in the 90s of the last century, when every tenth resident, driven by unemployment, was forced to leave the city in search of a better place. Now there is a reverse trend - more and more specialists are coming to the city. According to statistics, at the beginning of 2014, 109.5 thousand people live in Novoshakhtinsk.

Youth Day in the city

The population growth is explained by the low housing prices in the city. Many people who come to work in Shakhty or Krasny Sulin prefer to buy themselves an individual house in the quiet private sector of Novoshakhtinsk and work in another city.

As a remnant of past difficult times, the city has a significant number of alcohol and drug addicts. Many who have not found a place for themselves in this new economic situation and are forced to accept any job openly criticize their hometown and are rude to others. However, there are still more kind and sympathetic people in Novoshakhtinsk; they will definitely come to the rescue at the right time.

Districts and real estate of Novoshakhtinsk

The city was formed on the site of mining settlements, growing, it included villages near the mines, so it turned out to be completely uncompact, and occupying a considerable area. In total, the city currently occupies 138 km² of area. Over the past 10 years, the remote villages of Krasny, Sokolovo - Kundryuchensky and Sambek have been included in Novoshakhtinsk.

Map of Novoshakhtinsk

The easiest way to get into the city is from the M19 federal highway. On the left side of the car there will be Kirovka, Yuzhny, Center, Gorky and Antipovka. If you turn off the main road and drive along the street. Radio, which gave the name to this area of ​​the city, you can get to the Nesvetaevsky district, the villages of Krasny and Sambek. Further along the main road are the Zapadny microdistrict, Sokolovka, and the villages of Sokolovo - Kundryuchensky and Yubileiny.

Almost all administrative and economic entities of the city are located on the central streets - Sadovaya and Lenin Avenue. Processions and folk festivals take place here on holidays. The cost of a one-room apartment in such an area is, of course, the highest in the city, from 1 million rubles. The advantages of such accommodation are high transport mobility. Disadvantage: gas pollution and dirt.

Center

The Yuzhny and Kirovka districts at the entrance to the city mainly consist of the private sector, but you can also find an apartment in a multi-storey building (one-room apartment priced from 700 thousand rubles).

There are a significant number of comfortable high-rise buildings on Radio Street; prices for one-room apartments start from 600 thousand rubles.

Street Radio

Real estate prices in the areas of Gorky, Antipovka and Nesvetaevsky, Zapadny, Novaya Sokolovka are in approximately the same range - 700-900 thousand rubles. In all these areas there is one problem - high tariffs for utilities, gasification is carried out only in multi-storey buildings (and in some not even that), constant water cuts.

Nesvetaevsky village

It is, of course, possible to buy housing in remote towns of the city cheaper. In the village Sambek, about 8 km from the city border, is home to 5 thousand people. Here you can buy a house (from 800 thousand rubles) or an apartment with a minimum area from 500 thousand rubles. Even closer to the city is the village. Red, only 3 km to the city. Real estate here is 10-20% more expensive than in Sambek.

The ten thousand-person village of Sokolovo - Kundryuchensky, located on the shore of the clean reservoir of the same name, as well as the Novaya Sokolovka district, are the most environmentally friendly places in the city. Housing prices here range from 600-700 thousand rubles. for a one-room apartment, and 800-1,000 thousand rubles. for a small house.

Routes on the map of Novoshakhtinsk, transport links

The city is located 80 km from the regional center, 1033 km from Moscow, 429 km from Volgograd, 347 km from Krasnodar. Not very long distances separate it from many industrial places (Gukovo, Shakhty, Krasny Sulin, Zverevo). Convenient transport links are determined by the close location of important Russian highways (“Rostov-Kyiv”, “Moscow-Baku”). The city has the largest southern vehicle checkpoint, which has international status. Cargo coming to Russia from European countries and Turkey passes through it. The city's transport network includes the roads of the Rostov region "Novoshakhtinsk-Gukovo", "Novoshakhtinsk-Rodionovo-Nesvetaiskaya-Rostov".

A separate railway line from Novoshakhtinsk connects it with the Rostov-Moscow direction. The distance to Rostov-on-Don airport is 83 km, the seaports of Azov 130 km, Taganrog 155 km. The length of paved roads is 269 km.

City infrastructure

Given the low cost of housing in the city, prices for utilities are unreasonably inflated (on the verge of excessive profits), in particular for the supply of cold water. There have already been several cases when proactive citizens, having collected the necessary package of documents, sought the return of most of the utility bills. With this approach, maintaining your own farm (garden and vegetable garden) becomes very unprofitable. Local residents save themselves by drilling boreholes and digging wells, but not in all places in the city it is possible to get to water. When choosing an individual house, you should also consider whether there was a mining operation underneath it. In this case, not only will there be no water on the site, but the house may also settle.

Transport runs from the center to districts and villages strictly on schedule. There are 15 minibus routes and 17 bus routes operating around the city.

There is one hospital and one clinic fully functioning in the entire city, and those who are sick (if possible) try to go to Shakhty or Rostov for treatment.

Local residents also go to the surrounding towns to have fun and relax after a hard day at work: a big problem in Novoshakhtinsk is the lack of places for leisure activities. Nevertheless, the drama theater and cinema operate successfully, and the city has its own TeleRadio.

The city has 30 kindergartens, 20 schools, 3 sports schools, several development centers, art and music schools. The city is home to branches of the Southern Federal and Southern Russian Technical Universities. City residents do not have any particular problems when enrolling in all of the listed educational institutions.

Bicycle traffic is very developed in Novoshakhtinsk. Adult office and industrial workers in the summer prefer to get to work by bicycle, gather for competitions and rides, forming their own closed “family.”

Enterprises and work in Novoshakhtinsk

After the total closure of the mines, the state did not offer decent jobs to former miners.

The city has budgetary municipal organizations (education, medicine, culture, transport) and several industrial enterprises:

• EMS LLC, production of furniture for schools and preschool institutions, dormitories, production of metal structures;
• OJSC "U-Met", an enterprise founded in 1999, is engaged in the production of building metal structures. The company requires highly qualified workers in working specialties.
• OJSC "Novoshakhtinsky Mechanical Plant" - converted from a defense plant, main directions: production of products for industrial and technical purposes.

The largest enterprises in Novoshakhtinsk are Gloria-Jeans and the Novoshakhtinsky Petroleum Products Plant.

Currently, almost every city in Russia has branded stores of the Gloria-Jeans network of denim and knitted clothing, shoes and accessories; production is located in a dozen cities. And the first plant was opened back in 1988 in Novoshakhtinsk. The company still operates here and has a high staff turnover.

Gloria jeans

The Novoshakhtinsky Oil Products Plant is the youngest industrial enterprise in the city. It is located on an area of ​​300 hectares, employing more than 1,500 people, producing high quality diesel fuel and fuel oil. It was opened only three years ago, so workers and engineers are constantly needed there. The wages of workers are very high (relative to the average in this region), but to obtain it you need to have a fairly high qualification.

Novoshakhtinsky Petroleum Products Plant

The customs office on the border with the Lugansk region of Ukraine operates stably, ensuring the legal import and export of goods into the territory of the Russian Federation.

The construction industry is not standing still either. Over the past year, more than a hundred new houses have been commissioned in the city.

New buildings in the city

Yet existing enterprises do not provide the city with the required number of jobs. Every third or fourth able-bodied city dweller prefers to travel to work in the city of Shakhty (25 km) or Krasny Sulin (22 km), where many industrial enterprises have recently been built.

There is another category of residents who chose to open their own business. The city even has its own local sayings. For example: “If in Novoshakhtinsk it’s easier not to find a workplace, but to organize one for yourself.” The share of small businesses in the city's economy is significant.

Crime

Novoshakhtinsk is a quiet, homely city, so there were almost no high-profile criminal cases here. As in all sharply impoverished cities, here in the most difficult years desperate residents engaged in theft (and even now petty thefts from backyards are relevant for the private sector of the city). Currently, the situation with rampant thefts has stabilized.

Another problem of the city is a large number of alcohol and drug addicts, unpredictable people, sometimes ready to do anything for money.

But, in general, of course, the city is far from being classified as criminal.
