Sobinka is a city in the Vladimir region, the administrative center of the Sobinsky district. The municipality of the same name forms the city of Sobinka with the status of an urban settlement as the only settlement in its composition. Attempts to explain the toponym (geographical name) Sobinka have been made repeatedly. According to the assumption of the author of the “Toponymic Dictionary of Central Russia” G.P. Smolitskaya, the name of the city is derived from the Old Russian personal name (nickname) Sobin, which is based on the word “sobin”, known in the dialects of Central Russia in different meanings: “a person with some kind of individual, own peculiarity” or “own belongings, property”. The famous dictionary of V.I. Dalia contains many words of this root: sob, sobina, sobinnik, sobinka and others. Perhaps the original name of the wasteland does not come from the name or nickname “sobin” and not from the words “sob”, “own”, but from the words “special”, “special” (meaning “separate”). In colloquial pronunciation, the word “special” is very close to “sobenny”, “sobinny”, “sobinsky”. Among the many options for naming the wasteland, such options were also encountered at different times. Already in 1675, the hayfields added to the Kononova wasteland were called “special.” In a document of 1761, it is found “in the wastelands of Kononov, Korobeyka, in Luka Osobennoy Lopata also, in the Cow Swamp and in Bor...”. On October 30, 1780, at the Patrimonial Collegium, they heard a certificate “for the Volodymersky district about the wastelands of Lopata Osobinaya Luka, the possession of the maidens countesses Natalya and Katerina Alexandrov, daughters of the Golovins, with other owners...” The city is located in an area that by its nature was known as Sobennaya (Sobina) wasteland , from the word “special” meaning “isolated”, “remote”, “separate”. The name of the wasteland itself in documents of the 17th - 19th centuries. found in dozens of variants. Most often, the wasteland was called Sobina Luka spade, also, especially in strict boundary documents (luka - floodplain meadow, grassy hollow; bend of the river). Often there are the Sobinnaya Lopata wasteland, the Sobenennaya Luka wasteland, the Sobinskaya Luka shovel wasteland, the Sobinskaya wasteland, the Sobin Luka wasteland, the Sobinnaya Luka Lopata wasteland, too, the Sobinskaya Luka Lopata wasteland, too, and other options. The State Archives of the Vladimir Region contains a file about the lawsuit between the collegiate assessor Vasily Fedorovich Alyabyev and the chamberlain Count Alexander Nikolaevich Zubov about the wasteland of Sobina Luka Lopata also. It lasted from 1836 to 1846. The case allows us to more fully judge the place where the city of Sobinka is now located. In the disputed wasteland there were then 1385 dessiatines 355 fathoms of timber and firewood, 55 dessiatines 2000 fathoms of hay cutting, 60 dessiatines 260 fathoms under the river and lakes, that is, more than 1500 dessiatines. On the Mende Map of 1850, only two tiny farms on the banks of the Klyazma are noted in these places. K ser. In the 19th century, part of the wasteland of Sobina Luka and Lopata was owned by the Vladimir 1st guild merchant son and honorary citizen of the mountains. Vladimir Alexander Andreevich Nikitin (1823-1867). On April 30, 1859, the factory of the Sobinskaya Manufactory of Paper Products was opened. In January 1922, the Vladimir Cotton and Paper Trust was formed. On July 1, 1923, the Alexander Trust merged into the Vladimir Trust. “Communist Avant-Garde”
for the active participation of the Sobinsky proletariat in the socialist October Revolution and the Civil War, as well as for the establishment of Soviet power on the site . See "Communist Vanguard" factory. At the beginning of December 1922, a proletarian club was organized at the factory. On November 7, 1923, on the day of celebration of the 6th anniversary of the October Revolution, a monument to Karl Marx was unveiled. “In the workers’ settlement newly built at the Communist Avangard factory, the cowsheds burned down in 1923. Again they were not built and now the workers have to walk a quarter of a mile to their cows. You need to get up at 3 o'clock in order to have time to clean and feed the cattle, and then go to work on the morning shift. The administration should take care of building cowsheds closer to the workers’ homes” (“Call,” November 5, 1924).
On April 5, 1925, Gubernia Transport organized a trial run of the Vladimir-Sobinka bus and back.
In the 1920s, a drainage collector was laid along the future Lenin Street, where two-story wooden houses for workers were soon built.
There were practically no street names in those years; instead of them there were villages. In this part of the city there were the village of Serp and Molot, the Rabochy settlement and the village of Pervomaisky. Across the river was the old part of the settlement, it was called Bolshiye and Malyye Sokolniki. Next to the narrow-gauge railway stood the houses of the village of Sobinets. "The life of workers. The Communist Vanguard factory employs 7,000 workers, most of whom receive 35 rubles. per month. Housing conditions are still poor. At a distance of half a mile there are 8 dormitory buildings crowded together. The buildings are three-story with a common kitchen. Each building has a children's or kindergarten serving an average of 60 people. children. Those who do not attend are approximately 4 percent. Kindergartens are not completely filled, since parents pay little attention to their children. Each dormitory building, which looks decent, houses 250 families. The crowding and cramped conditions are enormous. Inside the buildings are divided into closets, ranging in size from 4 to 6 cubic meters. The closets are filled with about 8 people, the workers are housed in them like chickens on a roost, since each closet has bunks. Some of the workers live in houses in a village located on the edge of a pine forest. The houses are two-story, with four apartments, a porch, a convenient cellar and a cowshed. It's nice and nice to look at this beautiful street. It is not life, but paradise, but this paradise is not yet for everyone. Recently there was a meeting of the plenum of the factory committee, at which it was decided to consolidate the employees living in two-story houses. They decided to make a decision, but it is not put into practice. The construction of a commune house among the “Comavant Guards” is overdue. The workers are looking forward to this building. Only then will the workers breathe freely when they leave their chicken coops. Then they will have more strength and health for the overall work of increasing labor productivity. Mutual aid fund. The mutual aid fund has become sufficiently strong, its financial condition has improved, so that it has already been able to take more than 30 shares from the housing construction cooperative, thus providing assistance to housing construction. In order to strengthen its funds, the cash desk is developing trade in the buffet. Loans and benefits are issued to workers on a weekly basis, and irrevocably to those most in need. Among the workers. At Sobinka, the worker takes too little part in social work, since production operates on 2 shifts, and all public work begins at 9 pm. Despite all her desires, the worker is unable to go to the club because the nursery is open until 9 pm and from that time on she must, after coming home from work, babysit the children. With the proposed expansion of the nurseries and the extension of their opening hours to 12 or 1 o'clock in the morning, the female worker will be freed up and will take part in all the work on an equal basis with the man. The lack of a public canteen and laundry is a great grief for a worker. Having worked her eight hours, the worker still has to prepare food, serve it, wash dishes, wash clothes, etc. All this requires a lot of time and effort. The factory committee needs to seriously think about this issue, come to an agreement with the people and move things along, following the example of the Ivanovo-Voznesensk residents" "Call", May 23, 1925). “Laying the foundation of a communal house
.
On May 10, in the evening, the workers of the Communist Avangard f-ki, after a series of welcoming words from representatives of party, professional and economic organizations, laid the first stones of the workers' dwelling - the commune house. The communal house is designed for 180 people. It will have 36 apartments, two rooms each, the area of one apartment is about 9 square meters. fathoms. The site intended for construction was chosen on the edge of a pine forest to give the worker the opportunity to always have fresh, clean air. The building is designed as a 3-story building with a semi-basement floor. The semi-basement floor will be intended for fuel storage, a public kitchen, a dining room, a reading room, and red corners. The house will have all the necessary amenities. The foundation of the commune house is the first triumph of the Sobinka workers in the struggle for a new way of life" "Call", May 16, 1925). “They take care of the workers. Factory "Comm. Avangard" built 12 houses for workers. Each house accommodates 4 families. A power plant is being built, ending with the construction of a water pumping station. Material is being collected to build nurseries for the entire factory. Previously, firewood and peat were transported to the factory by 10 horsepower, but now a railway has been built. branch. If the economy continues to develop in this way, our factory will soon turn into a comfortable town" "Call", May 7, 1925). In 1925, intensive construction of a new power plant was underway at the Communist Avangard factory. All instruments and machines for launching the station have already been prepared. The new station will serve, in addition to the factory, the nearest villages. The electric station will initially accommodate 36 motors. A current of 30,000 volts will come from Shaturka, located 40 ver. from the factory. Through the sawmill, the current will go to the Lakinskaya factory and the nearest villages. The water, which workers complain about being clogged, will go through an electric precipitator, where it will be cleaned of dirt. All the devices for the device are ready, the required number of wires have been brought, ditches have been dug through which the wire will run underground, two lines will work - one spare, the other permanent...” (“Call”, June 7, 1925). In February 1927, the Sobinsky City Council began work

Plots across the road from Krasnaya Zvezda have been allocated for private development; this village is called Krasny GIK (presumably stands for “urban individual cooperative”). To drain the swampy area, a deep ditch was dug on Fabrichnaya Street. The village of Novy began to be built behind it. When the power transmission line from the Shaturskaya CHPP was laid, the village of Krasnoe Znamya was born. Between the villages of Krasnoe Znamya and Sobinets there was the village of Seventh Congress. The villages had a common numbering of houses and numbered streets. And even when Sobinka was given city status in September 1939, the division into villages remained until about the mid-50s.

In 1931, there were 12 kindergartens in the city, of which 5 kindergartens were isolated from buildings, 7 kindergartens were located in buildings where workers lived. In addition, at that time there were 3 primitives in red corners, covering 75 people. children. The conditions of these primitives in no way corresponded to the purpose of the kindergarten. To service the rural library network, in 1933 a regional central library was organized at the regional ONO, which in 1934 had 2,679 books. The task of this library was to manage the work of rural libraries and organize mobile libraries for closer promotion of books to the collective farm masses.

HISTORY of the Vladimir region.
↑ Sobinka city history
In ancient times, the place where the city of Sobinka is located was called a wasteland. Because there were swamps and impenetrable forests around. With the development of the Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod railway, the town has development prospects.
In the mid-19th century, in 1856, the Losev brothers Matvey and Luka acquired a plot of Sobinskaya wasteland. The brothers organized a textile factory on the purchased land. It is noteworthy that the equipment for the factory was ordered from England, so the production was innovative and modern for its time.
Production developed, and so did the city. New houses, a church, a school, a hospital. In the 60s of the 19th century, a bridge was built across the Klyazma. Transport accessibility of Sobinka has become significantly better and has given a new impetus to development.
After the 1917 revolution, life changed. The factory received a new domestic equipment name - “Communist Avant-Garde”. And in 1939, the working settlement of Sobinka received the status of the year. The years of the Great Patriotic War struck with thunder. About three thousand soldiers went to the front to defend the Fatherland. Half of them did not return home.
In the post-war years, a new weaving factory appeared in the city, which became a catalyst for the expansion of the city, the reason for the emergence of a new microdistrict. Over the past decades, the city has been actively being cleaned up. Dilapidated housing and wooden barracks are being demolished. In their place there appears housing that corresponds to the spirit of the times.
