Government of the Amur Region

On the map of the Amur region there is a city with an unusual name - Raichikhinsk . There are many legends about its name. Old-timers remember that it was originally called, like the river, Raichikha . This river is small, but wayward. She made her way 80 km long before she met the majestic and deep Amur. The natives called the river Ora. The Russians dubbed her Raichikha. But was this choice random? In the directory of Alexander Kirillov it is noted that the Raichikha River received its modern name “after the name of the lower military rank of Raev who drowned in it.” One thing remains attractive: the names of the river and the city seem to be warmed and illuminated by the short word “paradise”. If some cities of the Amur region owe their birth to the development of gold deposits, then Raichikhinsk began with the discovery of rich deposits of “black gold” - coal. The first information about the coal deposit was received back in 1893 from the Korneev brothers-hunters from the village of Poyarkova. In 1911, geologist Malyavin and engineer Konstantov carried out geological exploration and discovered brown coal between Raichikha and Kivda. In 1932, the official development of the coal deposit began, and the first mine in the Raichikhinsky basin was founded. At the end of the 30s, construction began on the center of the coal basin - the village of Raichikha. Its population grew rapidly.

, 1944 By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, mining settlement of Raichikha was transformed into the city of regional significance of Raichikhinsk .

The wide, straight streets of the city were given a special comfort by the unique architecture of 2- and 3-story buildings.

The cultural center of the city was cinemas, clubs with auditoriums, libraries and the House of Technology - a three-story building where film shows, lectures, amateur concerts, and recreation evenings were held. Raichikhinsk is the birthplace of Amur television. In April 1957, the Raichikhinsky Scientific and Technical Mining Society set out to build a television center in the city. December 31, 1957 – the first amateur transmitter was installed and transmitting antennas were installed. The first blue screens on Amur soil were lit in Raichikhinsk. And today local television is a distinctive feature of Raichikhinsk.

Until recently, the city-forming enterprise was the Dalvostugol joint-stock company; for its large coal reserves, the city was popularly called the “Amur Stoker”. Today the situation has changed radically and has moved to the Erkovetsky coal basin (Oktyabrsky district). Currently, the coal mining enterprise Amur Coal LLC operates on the territory of the urban district.

The social sphere is developing in the city: there are schools, gymnasiums, kindergartens, city vocational schools, an Industrial College, children's sports schools, a stadium, a municipal center for additional education for children, a House of Technology, a House of Children's Creativity, clinics, and shopping centers. An Orthodox church has been operating in Raichikhinsk for many years now. This is where the townspeople come with their aspirations and hopes.

For the residents of Raichikhinskaya, their hometown is as the poetess Maria Milinskaya saw it: On the Amur land there is a small town, You have absorbed the entire earthly paradise, Even the lotus has blossomed on your lakes For young loving hearts.

Excerpt characterizing Raichikhinsk

The hussar did not answer. - Well, don't you hear? – After waiting quite a long time for an answer, Rostov asked again. “Who knows, your honor,” the hussar answered reluctantly. - Should there be an enemy in the area? - Rostov repeated again. “It may be him, or it may be so,” said the hussar, “it’s a night thing.” Well! shawls! - he shouted at his horse, moving under him. Rostov's horse was also in a hurry, kicking the frozen ground, listening to the sounds and looking closely at the lights. The screams of voices grew stronger and stronger and merged into a general roar that could only be produced by an army of several thousand. The fires spread more and more, probably along the line of the French camp. Rostov no longer wanted to sleep. The cheerful, triumphant cries from the enemy army had an exciting effect on him: Vive l'empereur, l'empereur! [[Long live the Emperor, Emperor!] Rostov now heard clearly. - It’s not far, it must be beyond the stream? - he said to the hussar standing next to him. The hussar only sighed, without answering, and cleared his throat angrily. Along the line of hussars the tramp of a horse riding at a trot was heard, and from the night fog the figure of a hussar non-commissioned officer suddenly appeared, appearing like a huge elephant. - Your honor, generals! - said the non-commissioned officer, approaching Rostov. Rostov, continuing to look back at the lights and shouts, rode with the non-commissioned officer towards several horsemen riding along the line. One was on a white horse. Prince Bagration with Prince Dolgorukov and his adjutants went to see the strange phenomenon of lights and screams in the enemy army. Rostov, having approached Bagration, reported to him and joined the adjutants, listening to what the generals were saying. “Believe me,” said Prince Dolgorukov, turning to Bagration, “that this is nothing more than a trick: he retreated and ordered the rearguard to light fires and make noise in order to deceive us.” “Hardly,” said Bagration, “I saw them on that hill in the evening; If they left, they left there. Mr. Officer,” Prince Bagration turned to Rostov, “are his flankers still standing there?” “We’ve been standing there since the evening, but now I don’t know, your Excellency.” Order, I will go with the hussars,” said Rostov. Bagration stopped and, without answering, tried to make out Rostov’s face in the fog. “Well, look,” he said, after a short silence. - I’m listening s. Rostov gave spurs to his horse, called out to non-commissioned officer Fedchenka and two more hussars, ordered them to follow him and trotted down the hill towards the continued screams. It was both scary and fun for Rostov to travel alone with three hussars there, into this mysterious and dangerous foggy distance, where no one had been before. Bagration shouted to him from the mountain so that he should not go further than the stream, but Rostov pretended as if he had not heard his words, and, without stopping, rode further and further, constantly being deceived, mistaking bushes for trees and potholes for people and constantly explaining his deceptions. Trotting down the mountain, he no longer saw either ours or the enemy’s fires, but heard the cries of the French louder and more clearly. In the hollow he saw in front of him something like a river, but when he reached it, he recognized the road he had passed. Having ridden out onto the road, he held his horse back, undecided: to ride along it, or to cross it and ride uphill through a black field. It was safer to drive along the road that became lighter in the fog, because it was easier to see people. “Follow me,” he said, crossed the road and began to gallop up the mountain, to the place where the French picket had been stationed since the evening. - Your Honor, here he is! - one of the hussars said from behind. And before Rostov had time to see something suddenly blackened in the fog, a light flashed, a shot clicked, and the bullet, as if complaining about something, buzzed high in the fog and flew out of earshot. The other gun did not fire, but a light flashed on the shelf. Rostov turned his horse and galloped back. Four more shots rang out at different intervals, and bullets sang in different tones somewhere in the fog. Rostov reined in his horse, which was as cheerful as he was from the shots, and rode at a walk. “Well then, well again!” some cheerful voice spoke in his soul. But there were no more shots. Just approaching Bagration, Rostov again put his horse into a gallop and, holding his hand at the visor, rode up to him. Dolgorukov still insisted on his opinion that the French had retreated and only set up the fires to deceive us. – What does this prove? - he said as Rostov drove up to them. “They could have retreated and left the pickets.” “Apparently, not everyone has left yet, prince,” said Bagration. – Until tomorrow morning, tomorrow we’ll find out everything. “There’s a picket on the mountain, your Excellency, still in the same place where it was in the evening,” Rostov reported, bending forward, holding his hand to the visor and unable to contain the smile of amusement caused in him by his trip and, most importantly, by the sounds of bullets. “Okay, okay,” said Bagration, “thank you, Mr. Officer.” “Your Excellency,” said Rostov, “allow me to ask you.” - What's happened? “Tomorrow our squadron is assigned to reserves; Let me ask you to second me to the 1st squadron.
