Sakhalin. Uglegorsk district. Shakhtersk

So we arrived in the city of Shakhtersk. The 5 hour trip is already over. The road was difficult because there was not asphalt everywhere.

On the first day of our trip we went to get acquainted with Shakhtarsk. We climbed a high mountain from where the entire city was visible. Until 1947, it was called Toro (the name is from the Ainu turu “earth”). It was renamed as part of the company to eliminate Japanese names on Sakhalin. Since 1947, the city has been called Shakhtersk. Coal is mined in its vicinity.

In the immediate vicinity of the city there are coal mines (hence the name). Now only one mine is operating, formerly Udarnovskaya, now called Sakhalinugol-6, as well as the Solntsevsky coal mine.

In Shakhrersk there is a narrow-gauge railway of the former SHTU, connecting it with the port in Shakhtersk-2.

This is a coastal seaport that sends coal by ferry to remote parts of the country, making sure that people’s homes are always warm.

There are many enterprises working together to equip coal infrastructure. This is the central processing plant, which is located in the port of Shakhtersk-2.

The next day we went to look at the only airport in the city - 1 of 4 on Sakhalin. It is capable of receiving Yak-40, An-24 and lighter aircraft. Passenger flights are operated to Sovetskaya Gavan and Khabarovsk, since 2010 to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, and since 2013 to Vladivostok.

On the third day of our stay in Shakhtersk, we visited a monument dedicated to the victory over the Japanese militarists.

In 1905, according to the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, which ended the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905, the southern part of Sakhalin Island (up to the 50th parallel) went to Japan. The city was founded after 1905 and was called Toro. On August 16, 1945, the first landing force landed at this place under the command of Lieutenant Colonel K.P. Tavkhutdinov. From this place the liberation of the Uglegorsk region from the Japanese militarists began. In 1945 it was returned to Russia. Thank you for the peaceful sky above your head.

In the distance you can see the Shakhterskoye Reservoir.

Here it is - the reservoir of the city of Shakhtersk. From this place water flows into the houses of city residents.

And we walked through the forest near Shakhtersk and collected various edible mushrooms. We came across boletuses, boletuses, flywheels, raw milk mushrooms and boletus mushrooms. The forest is very rich in the gifts of nature - mushrooms.

We also came across fly agarics, but we didn’t pick them, they are poisonous, but even though they are so beautiful.

On the penultimate day of our trip, it was pouring rain in Shakhtersk, but then the sun came out and a miracle of nature appeared in the sky - a rainbow.

If you look closely, you can see that the rainbow that day was double. The one that is lower is bright, and the one that is higher is paler. The mood was simply wonderful from what I saw.

Well, it’s time to go home to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Shakhtersk is a very beautiful city. I liked walking along it. It was a great trip. I hope I'll come back here again.

Uglegorsk a year after the war. Photo report

Uglegorsk is a small town west of Debaltsevo. By the way, once (before 1958) it was called Khatsepetovka. If you are traveling to Debaltsevo from Donetsk, passing Yenakievo (the hometown of Viktor Yanukovych) or, conversely, if you want to get from there to the capital of the DPR, then you will certainly have to pass through Uglegorsk. The main route passes through this settlement.

To take Debaltsevo, it was necessary to drive the enemy out of this town. He was one of the key players in the Ukrainian defense. Its capture made it possible, in the end, to actually encircle the units of the Ukrainian army in Debaltseve.

Almost a year ago (at the end of January - beginning of February) fierce battles for Uglegorsk began.

To this day, in urban architecture we see the wounds inflicted on him. These are the consequences of artillery shelling.

I have a photograph that shows how my good pre-war friend from Lugansk Inga Shumakova, who joined Igor Plotnitsky’s “Zarya” battalion in 2014, stands near a blue stele with the inscription “Uglegorsk”, which survived the fighting.

And in these photographs you can see that another, approximately the same stele, but located at the entrance to Uglegorsk on the opposite side, was less fortunate. Several large fragments of it, also blue, lie in the grass.

When entering Uglegorsk from Debaltsevo, anyone will show you the famous gray, unremarkable panel Soviet nine-story building. It is located about a kilometer (maybe less) to the left of the highway. There are currently no residents in this house.

From a distance it seems to be intact. True, it is clear that “in the side” at the level of the eighth floor there is a significant hole gaping in it from a shell. However, if we take a closer look, we will see that it is very badly damaged due to the fact that a tank of the DPR army hit it with direct fire.

The house is on the outskirts. Behind him, urban development begins, and in front of him is the steppe, open space.

“She has a very advantageous position. Sitting on the upper floors of the house, you can see the movement of military units storming the city. That’s why a detachment of Ukropov’s snipers and gunners settled there and prevented ours from entering the city. They sat on the roof and upper floors. Therefore, they had to be smoked out from there first with the help of a tank that fired at the upper floors. Then Olkhon’s detachment cleared the nine-story building,” said the driver accompanying me, whose car we were driving.

We also drove past a house near which the head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, who directly took part in the battles, was wounded in the leg.

This is a three-story beige building. It still stands, despite serious damage. All the ceilings in it were burned or collapsed. In two places - the left corner and in the middle - there are large holes from the first to the third floor. While I was taking photographs, several white jeeps with white OSCE flags drove past me on the road towards Yenakievo.

Literally at the exit from Uglegorsk, a solid and rich private stone house appears before your eyes. Maybe it once housed some kind of establishment. Don't know. There are two breaks in the long stone fence around a house (or group of houses). They appeared, undoubtedly, from tank shots. The fence is covered with inscriptions left by Ukrainians. I noticed among them the following: “Bucha”, “Dynamo Champion”, “PTN PNH”, “Donetsk Yenakievo”. Apparently, one of the militia also left inscriptions. For example, “Death to Bandera”.

Despite the destruction that occurs here and there, the city, in general, lives. People are scurrying up and down the main street, immersed in their worries.

Currently, restoration work is in full swing in the DPR. I think that after some time, traces of the war will disappear from Uglegorsk. Although I would leave several dilapidated houses untouched for the edification of posterity and as a memory of the war.

Uglegorsk is in my destiny. Memories of old-time settlers of the 40-60s of the 20th century about Sakhalin.

Cited from the publication: Materials of the regional scientific and practical conference “Results of the Second World War in the fate of Russia: the work of libraries on patriotic education”, pp. 81-85, Golubushina E. N. “The memory of the Great Patriotic War is the most important factor in the formation of the patriotic consciousness of the population "(link to the website of the Sakhalin Regional Universal Scientific Library). From the “Region on the Islands”: we understand that the main goal of this material was (quote) “ Projects for the research, accumulation and preservation of materials preserving the memory of the Great Patriotic War, initiated by the libraries of the Uglegorsk Central Library, are the main topic of this report

" However, we decided to use an excerpt from this work as a separate and relatively independent publication.

***

Every year, the material of the people's Book of Memory “Uglegorsk in my destiny” becomes more and more valuable, the collection of material for which was started by the central city library in 2002. The purpose of this project is to collect information material, memories of the Uglegorsk land of old-time settlers of the 40s–60s. People of this generation had the opportunity to witness terrible military events and take part in hostilities. The settlers of the 40s describe post-war Sakhalin in their memoirs. Their testimonies vividly and vividly convey what is not captured on film, and new generations of the living can know and remember only thanks to historical materials and chronicles, as well as the memory of eyewitnesses. From the memoirs of Yulia Arkadyevna Chupina, born in 1928: “ I came to Sakhalin with my sister and mother... it was in August 1940, after a long journey of one month... we settled in the village of Agnevo, Shirokopadsky district, now Aleksandrovsky district.
On June 20, 1941, I turned 13 years old. And on the morning of the 21st we learned that the war had begun (obviously, an error was made in the dates; as is known, the Great Patriotic War began on June 22, 1941 - note “Region on the Islands”). This news fell on us like a stone in the form of a telephone message, since radio appeared in our country only later, and only in the village council. Then the radio was transferred to the school. Here we are at school and were going to listen to “From the Soviet Information Bureau...”. The messages were caught and listened to with alarm... All forces were thrown into victory, everything we did was all for the front, for victory. Both adults and children experienced these years.
The men were called to the front. In the village there are mainly children and women and a few old people. They sawed the forest, planted vegetable gardens, caught fish... Women sewed padded jackets, quilted mittens, trousers - everything for the front, for victory. They donated their savings, whoever had them, or the money they earned for the construction of planes and tanks. Older children and teenagers worked in the gardens of the subsidiary farm of the forestry industry and fish factory - weeding, digging, harvesting, working on fish processing. In general, we worked where it was necessary... ” From the memoirs of Maria Anisimovna Kustova, born in 1943: “
In May 1949, my parents, my sister and two brothers went to Sakhalin for recruitment. Then I was only six years old... I will remember for the rest of my life how we were unloaded from the ship: it stopped in the roadstead, and soon a diving boat approached. We were loaded in small groups into some kind of mesh bags (as I later learned, they were called sling nets) and lowered through the air onto a pontoon. When we were soaring over the sea, I was always afraid that the bag might break and we would fall into the water. But everything turned out well. Having unloaded from the ship, we saw that the entire area in front of the port was filled with Japanese who were going to be taken to Japan.
There were so many of them, we arrived, and they were getting ready to depart... " From the memoirs of Ekaterina Ivanovna Vorobyova, born in 1928: "
After graduating from college in the city of Krasnoslobodsk, Mordovian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, we, the entire class of 1947, numbering 32 people, went to work on Sakhalin... What do you remember about this period?
When the Japanese were expelled, they blew up the mines. Everything was on fire and in smoke, it was very scary... I remember Japanese houses - plywood, light, with mats on the floor... I wrote a letter home and called Sakhalin “a country of sliding doors and latches,” since the doors in Japanese houses were sliding... ” From memoirs of Polina Borisovna Kogan: “
Summer, 1947. Three girls with war-torn destinies, left without parents, having successfully graduated from the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute named after. Stalin, they were assigned to Sakhalin... All three of us really liked Sakhalin... There were Russians, Japanese, and Koreans here. We lived in Toehara (now the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk) for a long time, almost a month. Antonov Boris Aleksandrovich, a wonderful man from the Moscow region, received us at the regional health department. We really asked that all three be sent to work in one place, but it didn’t work out that way. He said, pointing at me, that “she will go to Esutoro” (Uglegorsk). He said that there is real Switzerland there, such beauty and a lot of military men... Indeed, the road from Esutoro to Toro (Shakhtersk), where I was immediately sent, was fabulously beautiful... In Shakhtersk then there were two hospitals... there was a military hospital... and a prison camp there I had my own medical worker.
The nurses in the hospital were Japanese, very beautiful, very polite, very efficient... They spoke to Japanese patients in Japanese. I had to learn the basics... We flew on military planes to the regional center... Indeed, there were a lot of military men, if you go out into the street - there are only greatcoats. In Shakhtersk there was the 214th flight regiment, the 349th flight regiment, a division and a battalion... ” From the memoirs of Galina Sergeevna Korkina, born in 1926: “On
May 9, 1949, a large tent was erected on the shore above the mass grave.
There was a reburial, the remains of the soldiers who died during the liberation of Uglegorsk were transported to the central square, to the city center. Cars came out from around the bend in the road to the sounds of funeral marches of a military brass band. One coffin was placed on each car, one car moved a short distance, and the next one took its place. There were 12 cars in total. The military accompanied the funeral procession. There were a lot of people on the sidewalks on both sides of the road. People accompanied the mournful column of cars. Later, on the site of a mass grave by the sea, a stele was erected... “Most of those who wrote and are writing their memories in the people’s Book of Memory were children during the Second World War.
Due to circumstances, despite their young age, they became direct participants in what was happening. Hence the indelible memories from childhood memories. Starting to write about Uglegorsk, they move on to a story about their life, part of which is the war. Therefore, the small book of folk memory “Uglegorsk in my destiny” has such voluminous appendices: “My life - as it is.” From the memoirs of Ekaterina Mikhailovna Shkurdova, born in 1929: “ During the years of occupation, I witnessed raids when the Nazis were looking for partisans in the houses;
how young people were driven to Germany; how they were taking people to be shot, and from this “black crow” - the car - they shouted: “Farewell, white light!” This is how my friend Ira Gerasimovich, her brother, mom and dad died - he was a great friend of my father... Is it possible to forget the execution of Jews?! In July 1941, anti-tank ditches were dug in the city, as well as outside the city - they later became the grave of Jews. Two of my classmates (from large families) were unable to evacuate. I met them with yellow six-pointed stars on their backs (a sign: you are a Jew) - they were carrying a wheelbarrow with water. I greeted them, they were silent. Me again: “Girls, hello!” Their eyes are full of tears and - to me: “Go away, Katya!” I didn’t know then that if the Nazis or police had seen us, we would all have been shot. The girls saved me! “From the memoirs of Tatyana Vasilyevna Pyatina, born in 1920: “
During the occupation, she was a scout for the partisans.
I went on missions, scouted out all sorts of information about the Germans for the partisans. It became increasingly difficult to complete tasks. The Germans began to set up posts in many places. One day, when I was returning from a mission, I was captured. Usually the Germans forced those arrested to dig a grave, stood them at the edge and shot them. Probably the same fate awaited me. I was freed by accident, I couldn’t even believe it. After two days of sitting in the basement with other arrested people, one policeman, during a check, asked: “How did you end up here?” I simply remained silent in response. Then he said: “Get out of here quickly.” She walked slowly, not believing in her liberation, because she knew that often the Germans first let go, and then drive the escaper on horseback and beat the escaper to death with whips. But lucky. In the partisan detachment she met her love and married Alexander Pyatin, who later disappeared without a trace. During the war, everything in the village burned down, as the village changed hands several times. Orel, Tosna, Pokrovskoye - everything was in ruins... ” From the memoirs of Fyodor Nikolaevich Shapoval, born in 1931: “
The Germans came to our village of Golubitskaya in the Krasnodar Territory at about one in the morning. They walked quietly. We heard a rustling on the road. We went out into the yard and watched. The moon had just risen. They were clearly visible. They walked almost silently, talking quietly. Their horses were big. Horses pulled guns. There were a lot of them, and there were also a lot of loaded carts, probably with shells. Soldiers with weapons walked behind. They walked for a long time. And we all looked at them... The Germans passed, it became quiet, as if we had not seen them. The next day they became bolder, began to walk around the huts and ask for “cock”, “egg”, “milk”... Spring has come. A new grief began... Cars covered with tarpaulin approached. Cars stood near every house, picking up teenage girls. They were taken to Germany. The Germans searched all the houses, attics, outbuildings and imprisoned them; they didn’t even imprison them, but threw the girls into cars. They took from the age of fifteen and older. How much grief there was in every home! A roar was heard throughout the village. Our entire village could not stand on its feet from grief... Early autumn approached. It was still warm, it was possible to manage the gardens and harvest the crops. The harvest was richer than ever. The German and the headman went through all the houses and announced that everyone would gather at the village council tomorrow. Whoever does not come will be shot on the spot. A lot of people gathered at the village council. The headman and that German, as well as several soldiers with machine guns, came out of the village council. The headman began to read the list of those who would be sent to Germany... We, of course, were on that list... They took us a long time. They took us outside Kerch, and a forest appeared. Behind him, several rows of barbed wire appeared over the road. This was a fence for us... We stayed under the fence for a week, and the Germans kept bringing in more and more people. The children and adults were hungry - they wanted to eat... A black passenger car arrived, followed by a truck. They unloaded the table and chairs from the truck, placed them near the gate, arranged the chairs, and covered the table with a tablecloth with a German cross. German officers and a policeman in a black uniform sat on chairs, then one German said that they would now register those who wanted to go to Germany. Everyone needs to stand in a row and come to the table and say whether they agree to go to Germany or not. Those who agree will move in one direction, those who do not agree - in the other... When we moved towards the table, we could see a large chimney far away, from which black smoke, thick as tar, was pouring out.
Mom told us that this black smoke was coming out of the crematorium where people were being burned. Mom also said that we wouldn’t go to Germany anyway, we’d rather die on Russian soil, and we wouldn’t help the Germans in Germany... We were already standing at the table. The German looked at his mother. Mom said with tears: “I’m not going to Germany.” The German waved his hand in the direction where there were a lot of people. It turns out that there were those who did not agree to go to Germany. About twenty people agreed... We barely slept all night, thinking about what the Germans would do to us. Morning has come. The Germans announced through a loudspeaker that everyone should gather... do not take things. We gathered, the Germans led us: two dogs on the sides, two dogs on the back. The people looked around and saw that the Germans were leading us towards the crematorium. Mom was stunned... she cried and said: “Maybe by some miracle one of us will remain alive - be sure to remember this place.” We didn't reach the crematorium gate about fifty meters. At this time we heard a loud hum of engines... Suddenly fighters and bombers appeared from behind the clouds. They began to chatter with machine guns and bombs began to explode. Panic began... Our people turned around and ran back to their things. We heard machine gun fire, the Germans were firing at us... Later we learned that the planes had bombed the crematorium, so they destroyed it, as they say, beyond repair. Our planes did a lot of things, annoyed the Germans, and not a single plane was damaged... ” The value of the collected material is that it is written by people whom we know well, who live next to us, our fellow countrymen. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer of them left, living witnesses of the past. Of the 19 participants who left their memories in the people's book of memory, seven passed away, two left the boundaries of Uglegorsk and the region. But perhaps, many years later, these memories will become the basis of a new book about the life of an entire generation with geography from Krasnodar to Kamchatka. A book based on the memories of eyewitnesses who will no longer be with us, but who left us an invaluable Memory. We really hope that those who are 10, 15, 20 years old today, those who became participants in our projects, years, and maybe decades later, will write their memories related to the war, although they grew up under a peaceful sky...

“Made with us” and on Yandex.Zen

Continuation of the series of reports about the Vostochny Cosmodrome and the city of Tsiolkovsky.

A week ago, a villainous fate brought me to Uglegorsk, in the Amur region, on the Bolshaya Pechora River, thanks to the Russian Spetsstroy. To be honest, it was my dream to visit the construction site of the century - the Vostochny Cosmodrome.

Uglegorsk is an urban-type settlement, a closed city. From 1969 to 1994 it was called “Svobodny-18”. And now the intrigue!!! The village was named Uglegorsk in 1961. But coal has never been mined here! And they came up with such a name in order to confuse potential enemies of our country, so that they would not even guess that there was a missile division in this place. The construction of the landfill was disguised as coal mining.

2. There will be Tsiolkovsky!!! On March 14, 2014, public hearings were held in the village on the renaming of Uglegorsk to Tsiolkovsky, held on the initiative of V.V. Putin. And on June 5, 2014, the results of a survey of residents about renaming were published. Almost 85% voted for the renaming. And I already showed you the construction of the new city last time.

This is me at the crossroads of two roads)

3. To get to Uglegorsk, you need to get a pass, which takes at least 5 days, but we bloggers are not looking for easy ways, but got there through a hole in the fence (the pass caught up with us later)

4. New bus and railway station

5. Locals are happy, they say that such an escalator cannot be found in the entire Amur region!

7. I was surprised that in the closed city it is not Sberbank, but a subsidiary of a French bank - Rosbank. This is somehow not patriotic!

8. And this is the House of Children's Creativity. Little Uglegorsk residents spend their leisure time here.

9. Nostalgic echoes of Soviet childhood

10. And Lenin is so young, and young October is ahead...

11.

12. The scattering of house numbering immediately catches your eye, here it could be house number 30, and then immediately 130...

13. And just like in other Russian cities, there is a memorial to those who died during the Great Patriotic War... Eternal memory...

14.

15. And this is the descent module of the Soyuz TMA-07M spacecraft, in which Roman Romanenko landed

16. The opening of the bronze bust of Yuri Gagarin coincided with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Uglegorsk. It is symbolic that the village appeared in 1961 - the year it flew into space. In honor of the opening of the monument and the anniversary of Uglegorsk, Roman Romanenko donated his work suit to the local museum, which was with him in orbit for all six months of space flight.

17. A very optimistic and positive slogan! The way it is! Go Russia!!!

Important dates were celebrated in Uglegorsk

City Day and the 75th anniversary of the district were celebrated in Uglegorsk. Residents had been waiting for the holiday for a long time and were preparing for it. Ambitious plans were almost destroyed by a rainy cyclone. Due to bad weather, the cultural and entertainment program in Shakhtersk had to be completely canceled. The young Uglygorsk residents were also left without some active entertainment.

Master classes and the “Photo Drying” art project were moved from the city park under the roof of the Avangard cinema hall. There was also an agricultural exhibition and fair here. Gardeners from the regional center, Boshnyakovo, Lesogorsky, Nikolsky, Krasnopolye, Porechye presented the fruits of their labor: flowers, vegetables and even watermelons.

The kids proudly opened the series of festive events. The traditional “Slider Marathon” took place at the Oktyabr Children’s Culture Centre. 26 girls and boys took to the start line.

For example, Timur Gromak put forward a full protest to the competition last year, but this time he became the champion in his category.

In the “Walkers” category, Evgeny Itskov Bogdan Kovalev took silver , and Dmitry Makarenko . They are all the same age, the boys are 1 year and 3 months old. Among the “runners” Timur Gromak (1.10 years) was in the lead, followed by Ksenia Pozhidaeva (1.11 years), and Daniil Pak (1.9 years) closed the top three.

Each participant in the “Slider Marathon” received a medal, a personalized certificate and a small gift. The winners were awarded diplomas, cups and medals, as well as valuable gifts for their comprehensive development.

The awards ceremony took place on the main stage, where local creative groups performed for several hours. The artists showed a high level of skill, taking only one technical break: to drain the water from the stage roof.

Dozens of outstanding residents took to the stage on this festive day to receive well-deserved awards. Traditionally, the anniversaries of life together were honored: the “golden” families of Styomins, Pyotr Alekseevich and Lyubov Nikolaevna , and Vddovenko - Vladimir Grigoryevich and Valentina Fedorovna , “Rubinov” Sergei Vasilievich and Tatyana Georgievna Zhuchkov , “Pearling” couple Divniy - Oleg Viktorovich and Natalia Viktorovna .

Among the recipients are the family of Flera Yarullovna and Vladimir Ivanovich Kolesnik (45 years of marriage), as well as Larisa Evgenievna and Sergei Semenovich Tolstykh, . A surprise was given to the newlyweds Alexey and Ekaterina Istlyaev , and to the new resident of Shakhtersk - Darina Zamuraeva , whom mother Olga gave birth to on September 5.

By the way, the rain continued throughout the day. But Uglegorsk residents and city guests, armed with umbrellas and a good mood, walked and had fun.

Work collectives together with children solemnly marched along the central street of Uglegorsk. Even the mothers took a chance and led the column with their mini parade of strollers. of Maxim Vorozhtsov “sailed” along Victory and the Cheshire Cat “walked” of Arsenia Yashina . But the strollers of the other two participants were made too fragile and cold, and they would not withstand the humidity. Therefore, Artyom Kolebin and Anastasia Drozdova did not come to the procession, but sent photos to the organizers, for which they will also receive gifts.

The artists performed the evening program in full and with 100% dedication. Guests of the holiday were delighted by the Bayan-Positive group and the Yuzhno-Sakhalin girl duet DiKey. And of course, the live sound of the famous group “Mirage” was the icing on the cake.

Nothing spoiled the birthday of Uglegorsk and the anniversary of the native region. People were disheveled from the rain, but happy. Many shared photos and videos on social networks and left comments in messengers. This is an important result of the big event - gratitude to the district House of Culture "October" after months of silence:

“The artists lit up, and even our Sakhalin weather did not scare them. This is cool! Thank you for the festive atmosphere, everything was great!!!”

“Thank you for the holiday! The artists are great! And we relaxed. We are looking forward to the rest of the holidays!!!”

“Thank you so much for the holiday you gave us, our region. You, as always, carried out everything that depended on you at the highest level!!!”
