Cities

Zhukovka city

— the administrative center of the Zhukovsky district of the Bryansk region. The actual number of residents at the end of 2011 was slightly less than 19 thousand people. Zhukovka is located 56 km from Bryansk, on the left bank of the Desna River (Dnieper basin). The city is home to the Zhukovka railway station of the same name (on the Bryansk-Smolensk line).

The first thing that attracts attention in Zhukovka is the huge number of cyclists. There are probably even more bicycles on the city streets than cars. This is probably explained by the fact that the main enterprise of Zhukovka is a bicycle factory. The plant is quite successful - Zhukovsky Desna bicycles are used throughout the region, and beyond its borders too.

In 2002, the city of Zhukovka entered the top ten according to the results of the all-Russian competition for the most comfortable city in Russia.

Life in Zhukovka is measured and calm, and its surroundings are replete with forests in which sanatoriums and holiday homes are nestled. It’s probably for this silence and comfort that residents love their city.

History of the city of Zhukovka:

In 1867, construction of the Oryol-Vitebsk railway began. To maintain the road and refuel the locomotives with water and firewood, Gubonin (the organizer of the construction) settled several families here. This is how the story of Zhukovka began.

In 1871, Zhukovka turned from a stop into a station. In 1879-1880 a station with a cafeteria was built. Not far away were the lands of the landowner Zhukov (he was selling timber and building sawmills).

In 1878-1881, construction of the Zhukovka-Lyudinka (Kletnya) road began. We need rails and parts for them. For this purpose, an iron foundry was organized in Zhukovka. In 1894, the Oryol-Vitebsk railway became state-owned.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a railway school was built in Zhukovka. In 1907-1910, a three-class school was opened, a postal and telegraph office and a veterinary station appeared in the village.

In 1914, an anti-tuberculosis sanatorium began its activities (during the First World War it acted as a military hospital).

On October 1, 1929, Zhukovka became a regional center. In 1927-1928, a year before the formation of the Zhukovsky district, more than a hundred small and handicraft industry enterprises were already operating in the Zhukovsky volost. According to the TSB, in 1930, 4,010 people lived in Zhukovka.

On October 31, 1931, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee classified Zhukovka as a workers' settlement.

Zhukovka was occupied in September 1941, and from the very first days a partisan struggle unfolded in the area. The partisan detachment “For the Motherland” was created on Zhukovsky soil on the initiative of an underground group of communists from the Beloglavaya station. On May 1, enemy garrisons in the villages of Knyavichi and Strashevichi were defeated, and Soviet power was restored in many villages. The “For the Motherland” brigade defeated three German headquarters, 36 enemy garrisons, blew up 4 railway bridges, derailed 81 enemy trains, and destroyed more than 6 thousand German soldiers and officers.

Fascist punitive forces tortured and shot 243 people in the village of Matrenovka for contacts with partisans. The village was burned to the ground.

In September 1943, Soviet troops completely liberated the Zhukovsky region from the German invaders. The liberated area lay in ruins. The restoration of the destroyed economy began. Fishing artels, an industrial plant, a regional consumer union, and a railway canteen begin their activities. Already in October 1943, the question arose about reviving the convoy plant.

In the four years after the liberation of the area, new streets, buildings of the village council, the district executive committee, canteens, shops, and libraries appeared. A new club has been built, a secondary school and kindergarten have opened their doors, a new hospital and outpatient clinic are being built. New streets are being built, a city park is being created, and village roads are being repaired.

The Rest House (now the Zhukovsky sanatorium) came into operation, pioneer camps were being built, and the tub sanatorium was being revived. In 1952, there were one secondary and two seven-year schools in Zhukovka. In 1953, the district House of Culture opened, and a vocational school began operating. A new railway station was opened in January. In 1960, a boarding school was built on the banks of the Vetma River for children from various areas of our region. On August 30, 1962, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the workers' village of Zhukovka was given the status of a city

In the 1980s, five-story residential buildings were built. In parallel, entire streets stretched, lined with houses for workers of the bicycle factory, DRSU, SU-868, hospital, etc. As a rule, these are one-story houses with 2-3 apartments.

Architectural appearance of the city

Until the 1960s, the development of Zhukovka (then still a village) consisted of one-story log houses. These were standard buildings with three living rooms, a cold corridor, an entrance hall (altar) and a kitchen. Such a house had up to two wood stoves.

In the 1960s and 1970s, brick residential buildings appeared.

In the 1980s, five-story residential buildings were built. At the same time, streets appeared lined with houses for workers of the bicycle factory, DRSU, SU-868, hospitals, etc. As a rule, these are one-story houses with 2-3 apartments.

Nowadays, wooden buildings no longer predominate; most private houses are lined with brick, some are finished with siding, some have been demolished.

Private shops make a big contribution to the appearance of Zhukovka.

Notable buildings

• The water tower is a round red brick tower, the lower part is painted. Located near the train station. It was built to pump water into the station (for refueling steam locomotives). Today it is part of the city's water supply system.
• The Zhukovsky Children's Art School is the oldest brick building in the city. The School of Art has been located here since 1969.
• The houses on Karl Marx Street are residential buildings with bay windows, one of the first stone houses in Zhukovka.
• “House with a Deer” is a white five-story building with a picture of a moose laid out in brick on the end wall. Despite the fact that a moose is depicted, the name “House with a Deer” stuck. School No. 2 is located nearby, and therefore Lenin’s message to schoolchildren is posted on another wall: “Study, study and study.”
• The Alexander Nevsky Church was built in 1991-1995.
