Kamensk square. Where is Kamensk located? The Great Patriotic War

Kamensk-Shakhtinsky is located on the territory of the Donetsk Ridge, belongs to the Rostov Region, its banks are washed by the Seversky Donets, this is the right tributary of the Don. Between Rostov-on-Don and the city is 145 km, it is considered a junction point of highways. Such important routes as Moscow-Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd-Chisinau pass through it.

The city originates in the distant 1671, the Cossacks founded the Stone Town, and in 1817 it was already a large village of Kamenskaya. The name comes from a small river Kamenka. The entire outskirts of the village was pitted with coal mines, the construction of a distillery, potash and repair and mechanical plants was underway.

In 1929, the village was given the status of the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Since then, the city has been built and developed. The center still retains a rectangular shape, as it was in the Cossack village. Only the outskirts of the city are being built up with high-rise buildings.

Currently, there are many interesting places worth visiting in Kamenetz-Shakhtinsk. First of all, this is a beautiful and small embankment, on which there is a monument to the fisherman Trofimych. His image is often placed on souvenirs and mugs.

55 years ago, the famous film by Sergei Gerasimov "Quiet Flows the Don" was filmed in the city. Until now, the filming locations have been preserved in their original form. Walking through them, you immediately remember the frames from the famous film.
Mayakovsky Park, the Museum of Flora and Fauna, located in the park, the Long Canyon, with a lake 2,200 m long and 100 m wide, are very popular with visitors and citizens. The picturesque nature of the flooded quarry will not leave anyone indifferent.

In Kamenetz-Shakhtinsk, there is one "Bike Hotel" for the whole of Russia. It attracts guests of the city with its unusual motorcycle design. All the furnishings in the hotel and cafe are designed in biker style. Tables in the cafe are made in the shape of a car or a motorcycle, lamps in the form of a bike are in the headboards of the beds, and the keys to the rooms are made in the form of a license plate.

A stele of motorcycles pointing skyward was built nearby, a monument to the dead bikers. Bike festivals are held here. This is a real biker "Mecca". The hotel welcomes guests around the clock.

The city has a chemical plant for the production of polymers, a viscose fiber plant, a machine-building and an oil refinery. Local bakery and confectionery produces its own products. developed Agriculture and livestock farming.

23 schools, medical and pedagogical colleges, vocational schools have been opened. Moscow, Novocherkassk and Rostov-on-Don have located branches of their prestigious universities in this town.
Main Library. Gorky opened in the distant 1920. It still works, together with the station of young technicians, which is more than 60 years old.

The city is proud of the military brass band, folk theater "At the Cross", church choirs, Orthodox churches.

Historians argue

There are many versions of how the city was founded. Most of these versions have not been officially accepted by historians. However, scientists avoid abandoning them completely. According to the "Military Loan Letter", Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (Kamensky town, then - the village) was founded on September 22, 1671. The letter, in turn, is mentioned in the work of the famous local historian V. Shumov. The document causes numerous disputes among historians, as many scientists doubt the authenticity of the letter. As one of the arguments, historians put forward the fact that the date on the letter looks too implausible: in pre-Petrine times, the chronology was conducted from the biblical creation of the world, and not from the Nativity of Christ. The charter should have indicated 7180, not 1671. In addition, the document contains several phraseological phrases uncharacteristic of the second half of the 17th century. Another strong argument: there was no single sample for drawing up loan letters, therefore, it is impossible to determine the exact date of creation of the document, relying only on its structure.

There is a version that the Kamensky town twice - in 1677 and 1685 - was devastated. In this regard, the town had to be moved to a new place - on the banks of the Glubokaya River. There is documentary evidence that the town was seriously affected by the ruin of the Azov people in 1684. Presumably, the year of foundation of the Kamensky town was not 1671, but 1683. Many scientists believe that the settlement arose a year before its destruction by the Azov people.

Versions of the origin of the Kamensky town first appeared in the historical literature of the 19th century. After the abolition of serfdom, many peasants decided to go to the Don, where they were going to settle in the Cossack villages. Newcomer peasants formed a special social group, called "out-of-town". Contrasting the newcomers with the natives significantly increased the status of the latter. Thanks to the growth of self-awareness of the inhabitants of the Kamensky town, there is an interest of the indigenous population in their own history. In the second half of the 19th century, the so-called "folk" versions of the origin of the settlement were very popular. In the "folk" versions, the Kamensky town is represented by an older settlement. Scientists prefer not to trust folk legends.

Official version

According to official version, which historians prefer to adhere to, the decision to found the city was made at the ataman's military circle. 22 Cossacks submitted a request to found a new settlement. The request was granted, and on September 22, 1671, “on the Donets in an empty yurt near the Kamenka River,” a settlement was founded, named after the nearby river Kamensky town. There is a legend that the pardoned participants in the uprising were the first settlers. Over time, the town began to be called a village.

village

Kamenskaya had to change her “address” several times, not only because of the attacks of the Azov people. In historical documents of the beginning of the 19th century, one can find references to the fact that the spring flood became the reason for the move. The last time the village was moved was in 1816. Since the village was in dire need of educational institutions, in January 1812 a parish school was opened in Kamenskaya. A few years later, after the last transfer of the village, a four-year school was opened. His students were graduates of the parish school. In 1903, a real school began to operate, which was intended to transfer to students "technical knowledge directly useful for industrial activity." In 1912, a women's state gymnasium was built. In addition, in the village there was a private women's gymnasium F. M. Mazurenko. The house of the merchant Ivan Shovkoplyasov housed the men's state gymnasium. Classes were located on the second floor.

In the early 1900s, a cinematograph was first brought to the village. The halls of cinematographs bore unusual names for villagers - "Odeon", "Soleil", "Renaissance". Inexperienced viewers were shown fashionable in those years short films "Eve's Apple", "Black Monster", "Queen of Courtesans" and others. The villagers cared about the spiritual life no less than about the availability of entertainment. At the end of the 19th century, the Church of the Nativity was built. Its construction cost 120 thousand rubles. In 1883, at the expense of the widow of Colonel Alexei Mashlykov, the Alekseevskaya Church was erected, which the widow dedicated to the memory of her late husband. The Church of the Intercession also operated in the village.

Many people were born in Kamenskaya Stanitsa who, to one degree or another, contributed to the development of science, literature, art and culture. The most famous natives of the village are the writers N. M. Oleinikov and A. V. Kalinin, the public figure and outstanding poet A. I. Petrovsky. Since 1922, the author of the book “Memories of the Wanderers” Ya. D. Minchenkov lived in Kamensk. His work was included in the golden fund of world literature on art. Minchenkov was a friend of the famous artists Vasnetsov and. Yakov Danilovich was repeatedly the initiator of exhibitions of the Wanderers.

After the revolution

When the October Revolution was over, the turn came civil war. The village of Kamenskaya did not stand aside. The war began in the village in January 1918. In Kamenskaya, a congress of front-line Cossacks was held. At the general meeting, a decision was made to overthrow the government of Ataman Kaledin. The congress elected the Donrevkom, which included 15 people. Donrevkom was headed by F. Podtelkov.

In 1920, the village of Kamenskaya became part of the Donetsk province, which belonged to the Ukrainian SSR. At the end of 1924, the North Caucasus Territory was created. The Shakhtinsky District with Kamensky regional center- the village of Kamenskaya.

The village received a new status and name Kamensk on March 28, 1927. After 2 years, the name of the city was changed to Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (to distinguish it from).

Great Patriotic War

In 1941, the beginning of the Great Patriotic War was announced in the country. A few hours after the war began, Kamenchans gathered at the city military registration and enlistment office, wishing to sign up for the front as volunteers. By June 26, more than one and a half thousand applications had been submitted to the military registration and enlistment office. More than three hundred applications were received from women. At the end of October 1941, the headquarters of the Southern Front was located in the city, which was located here until mid-January 1942. The Kamenchans published the newspaper "For the Glory of the Motherland", which was edited by Boris Gorbatov, Sergey Mikhalkov and others famous people. Kamensk-Shakhtinsky became the birthplace for the famous song by Modest Tabachnikov and Ilya Frenkel "Let's smoke."

The front line was approaching the city. July 19, 1942 Kamensk-Shakhtinsky was occupied. The Nazis dominated the city for 7 months. A “new order” was established for Kamenchanians, and attempts to resist were brutally suppressed. During the occupation, about one and a half thousand local residents were tortured in the city. Brutal reprisals did not stop Kamenchanians, attempts to resist continued. An underground committee appeared in the city. Headed a secret organization sent from G. Pivovarov. The underground printed leaflets, agitating fellow citizens to resist the invaders, no matter what. G. Pivovarov died in January 1943 during the battles for the liberation of the city.

The people of Kamensk defended not only their native Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Local Komsomol members participated in the underground organization "Young Guard" of the city of Krasnodon. Among the underground workers were Vasily Gukov, Stepan Safonov and a student of the Kamensk Pedagogical School Alexander Bondareva. Vasily and Alexandra died in January 1943. Young people were thrown into the pit of the Krasnodon mine, along with some other fighters. Stepan Safonov managed to escape. However, after some time he died in the battle for the liberation of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky in January 1943. S. Safonov was posthumously awarded. One of the streets modern city bears the name of Styopa Safonov.

After the German army was surrounded under, the Soviet troops advanced in a westerly direction. On January 14, the 169th Tank Brigade of Colonel A. Kodinets and the 23rd Tank Corps of Major General E. Pushkin approached Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Children came out of the city to meet them, pointing Soviet wars enemy firing points. The first attempt to liberate the city was unsuccessful. The tanks were forced to retreat across the river. On January 20, the Nazis arrested more than fifty teenagers. All children were shot. Kamensk-Shakhtinsky was liberated only on February 13, 1943. On February 14, soldiers who died during the liberation of the city were buried on Labor Square. G. Pivovarov was also buried here.

On May 9, 1971, on the day of the next anniversary of the Victory, the Memorial Complex was opened on Labor Square, and the T-70 tank, which was shot down by the enemy in the battles for Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, was installed on a pedestal. Monuments to fallen soldiers were erected near the artificial fiber plant and near the chemical plant. Many Kamenchans who fought on various fronts during the war years were awarded orders and medals for their courage and heroism.

Postwar years

When the war was over, the people of Kamenka, like the inhabitants of other cities of the USSR, set about restoring their hometown. By the beginning of the 1950s, local production teams were able to achieve pre-war levels of productivity. Combine No. 515 (the modern joint-stock company Kamenskvolokno) produced its first products already in September 1948. Then, in addition to artificial fiber, the plant began to produce viscose twine for hay pressing. Viscose twine was exhibited at VDNKh. The main consumers of this type of product were rural residents of Georgia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Moldova. At many Kamensk enterprises, workshops were reconstructed and equipment was repaired. Some workshops have been redesigned. The products of the Kamensk chemical plant were exported to 30 countries around the world.

In the 1950s, a locomotive repair plant was built in the city. In 1955, it was re-profiled into a machine building and began producing equipment for coal mines. The plant's products were well known in England, China, Hungary, Poland, India, Germany and other countries. Kamensky Experimental Mechanical Plant, in addition to the production of electrodes, launched the production of concrete mixer trucks, which were in great demand not only in the USSR, but also abroad. A confectionery factory operated in the city, producing more than a dozen types of products. The Kamensky microdistrict of Likhovskoy has become one of the largest railway junctions in the country. This status is retained by Likhovsky to this day.

The cultural image of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky has also changed beyond recognition. Palaces of culture and many other institutions designed for cultural leisure appeared in the city.

Modern city

In modern Kamensk-Shakhtinsky there are more than a thousand enterprises that provide work for half of the city's population. Housing construction continues. The city administration gives Special attention organization of cultural leisure of citizens, healthcare and creation of new jobs. Small business is developing in the city. About nine thousand Kamenchans are employed in this area. Local social institutions successfully carry out their activities. Among them: the Center for Social Services, the Center for Social Assistance to Families and Children and others. Kamenka health and medical institutions are regularly supplied with the latest equipment, thanks to which the level of medical care in the city meets all modern standards.

Schools of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky annually graduate hundreds of boys and girls. Local youth have the opportunity to get a profession without leaving hometown, in higher and secondary technical educational institutions. Additional education in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky can be obtained at local sports and music schools. The city has a network of libraries and swimming pools. One of the sights of the city is the Kamensky Museum of Local Lore.

The main specialization of the city is coal mining. The woodworking, machine-building and food industries are no less developed. A network of banks and insurance companies operates in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.

The city has grown significantly due to the annexation of several villages located on the southeastern and southern outskirts of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Among these settlements the settlements of Shakhtyorsky, Montazhnikov, Yuzhny and others.

In the post-Soviet period, several temples and churches were built in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky: the Church of the Intercession Holy Mother of God, Holy Trinity Church, etc. Scenes were filmed in the city for such famous films as “Quiet Flows the Don”, “The Fate of a Man” and others. Behind southern border city ​​passes federal highway"Don". In the early 2000s, a bridge across the Seversky Donets was put into operation. The bridge is designed to ensure uninterrupted traffic between

We have already passed three districts rather quickly: Chertkovsky, Millerovsky and Tarasovsky. And now we are entering one of the most beautiful and interesting areas of our region. Perhaps there are stops at interesting places trails could be more frequent.

Sights of the Kamensky district

After the 893rd kilometer, a very beautiful Kamensky district begins.

Perhaps Kamensky and Krasnosulinsky (neighboring) are the most interesting areas Rostov region. There is a diverse landscape here: there are many hills, rocks, lakes, rivers, even waterfalls - you can find something to admire.

At the 903rd kilometer - turn to farm Astakhov.

In this farm there is a wooden (a rarity in our area) Church of the Exaltation of the Cross of the 19th century.

This church has an icon connected with the history of the Don Cossacks.

Less than 4 kilometers from the highway to Astakhov.

At the 928th kilometer, just before Kamensk, there is an interchange to Staraya Stanitsa.

Be sure to visit the landscape park in Staraya Stanitsa.

It is only 4 kilometers away from the highway (to the right if you are coming from Moscow). The visit to the park is free.

And, of course, you can look into the 928th kilometer of the highway. There is already a little left from Kamensk-Shakhtinsky to Rostov-on-Don, only 142 kilometers.

After entering Kamensk, we cross the Seversky Donets River.

Gas station "Lukoil" right after the bridge.

In Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, you can see the embankment, Mayakovsky Park, the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin and the places where 55 years ago Sergei Gerasimov filmed episodes of the film Quiet Flows the Don.

The Church of the Intercession was erected already in the 90s of the last century. But, despite the fact that it is modern, the temple is beautiful - made of red brick, with a carved design of the top. It is located at the address: Gagarin street, 91.

Kamenskaya embankment is small, but picturesque. On it stands a monument to a fisherman whose fishing rod is constantly stolen. By the way, the fisherman has a name - Trofimych.

It is even depicted on local souvenirs. In particular, in my collection of mugs from different cities and countries there is a mug from Kamensk-Shakhtinsky with the image of a fisherman on the embankment.

And in the Mayakovsky park there is the former Marusina dacha, about which there are many legends. Now it is the House of Nature - a museum where you can get acquainted with the flora and fauna of the area.

Another attraction of the city - Bike hotel in Kamensk, 932nd kilometer of the M4-Don highway, coordinates N 48.15.158, E 40.17.562 (but they are unlikely to be needed, it is impossible not to notice the hotel). The only bike hotel in Russia, by the way.

If you want to not only relax, but also get a lot of impressions, you can stay at the Bike Hotel. Despite the name, it's not just for bikers.

Interesting design solutions, motorcycles in the headboards, cool drinks machines…

If there is no time, opportunity or desire to settle in a hotel, you can at least just look at it from the outside.

Or go to a bike cafe, which also has a stylish motorcycle design.

And if you have time to linger a little in the Kamensky district, then you can see two more interesting objects here:

Lake Eldorado- Not only a nice place, but also decorated with great imagination, in the spirit of the mythology of the ancient Indians (by the way, this place belongs to the famous Kamensky biker and the owner of the same "Bike Hotel", so it is very likely to see bikers on the lake).

How to get to Lake Eldorado: if you are driving along the highway from Moscow, then immediately after the bridge across the Seversky Donets, go to the junction to the right under the bridge. The lake is 12 kilometers away.

Lake Eldorado Kamensk-Shakhtinsky coordinates: 48°14’52″N 40°24’27″E. Photo Eldorado and detailed descriptions how to get here.

There is a fee to visit the lake.

Another very striking attraction of the Kamensky district, which is rightfully included in the seven wonders of the Rostov region, is the Long Canyon.

30 kilometers from the highway. This is a very beautiful place, the longest lake in the Kamensky region and the longest flooded quarry in the Rostov region. It is also called Long Lake, Long Lake and Worm for its shape. The lake is 2 kilometers 200 meters long, and only 100 meters wide (at its widest point).

How to get to the Long Canyon: as well as to Eldorado, in the direction of Nizhnegoveyny, but we don’t turn off at Eldorado, but go further, to the quarry management. Then to the right along the first lakes. After we pass two lakes, we turn right again and continue until the road forks. We choose the right road and along it - to the lake. Coordinates of the Long Canyon of the Kamensky district: 48°13'49"N 40°20'32"E. If you want to see something really amazing, be sure to go there, climb some steep and admire the lake from above. Entrance to the Long Canyon is free.

Photos of the Long Canyon and a description of the passage here.

At the 944th kilometer, there is an interchange to Volgograd and Likhaya. It is exactly 400 kilometers to Volgograd from here, only 3 to Likhoi. We were both there and there. But there is not much to do in Likhoy. Well, Volgograd is simply not the topic here, it’s not Rostov region.

Of course, these are not all the sights of the Kamensky district, but only those that are very close to the highway.

Since our friends live in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, we will take a breather in this place. We have four more districts of the Rostov region ahead of us. We've only gone half way.

Well, you still choose where you want to go. The roads of the world are open to all.

Are you interested in something from the sights I described along the M4-Don highway in the Rostov region?

Where would you stay? Well, at least for a little photo walk?

During the occupation of the city by the Nazis, local pioneers did not stand aside. They kept track of where the combat points of the enemies, warehouses with weapons were located. When the Red Army entered Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, the boys told the information about the enemies that they managed to collect, however, due to the fact that there were few Soviet soldiers, they were quickly thrown back out of the city, and the Nazis seized and shot the schoolchildren in the basement of the gymnasium No. 12 (there used to be a school).

Story

The building of the headquarters of the Red Guard (now the Center for the Development of Creativity for Children and Youth)

village Kamenskaya in 1671-1927

The building of the military revolutionary committee (now the Kamensky Museum of Arts and Crafts and Folk Art)

The city has been known since 1671 as a Cossack settlement that originally arose near the Malaya Kamenka River (after which it got its name), then moved to the mouth of the Glubokaya River, and then for a long time settled down on the left bank of the Seversky Donets, on the site of the modern Staraya Stanitsa (the so-called Fourth Resettlement). In the spring flood, the settlement was flooded by the river, so in 1805 the villagers applied to the military administration with a petition for resettlement to the right high bank of the Donets.

However, war soon broke out with Napoleonic France. The army chieftain Matvey Ivanovich Platov led the Don regiments to the war. Many Kamenets in those regiments also left. It was not before the resettlement. Only since 1817, having received approval from the authorities, the Kamenian Cossacks began to gradually move to the right bank of the Donets and build up between the farms Rygin and Kosonogovka that had existed since the end of the 18th century. Most of the inhabitants managed to move to a new place allotted for the village, where Kamensk-Shakhtinsky now stands. The territory of the final justification of Kamenskaya was indicated by the cavalry general, ataman of the Don Cossack army M. I. Platov, who further contributed to the development of the village. Kamensk was rebuilt according to a rectangular layout in accordance with the master plan of the architect F.P. Devolan, who was, in particular, the first architect of the capital of the region, the Don Army -.

On January 20, 1943, advanced units of the Red Army broke through to the city. The schoolchildren welcomed the liberators with joy and told the Red Army soldiers about the positions of enemy soldiers, tanks and guns. However, the size of the grouping of Soviet troops was very small, the infantry offensive was supported only by a few light tanks, and the attackers were unable to enter the city and liberate it. After the attack was repulsed, the Nazis carried out a punitive action, seizing in a row all the boys of a suitable age, who, after interrogations with the use of torture, were shot in the basement of the building where Gymnasium No. 12 is now located.

I lived and worked in the city of Kamensk since 1966, first as a temporary worker at the Likhaya station, they built snow fences along the railway lines, starting from Kamensk and ending with Izvarin (Ukraine). Then, since 1967, my labor activity was associated with the x / c "Russia", where I began to work, starting with the position of a student of mechanical assembly work for the manufacture of non-standard equipment at the mechanical repair plant (RMZ), and in 1968 he left to serve in the ranks Soviet army. The service took place from 1968, after graduating from the 108 aviation mechanics school for aviation armament, located in the city of Mogilev-Podolsky, Vinnitsa region (Ukraine), until 1970 as part of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany (GSVG). After the service, he worked at the RMZ as a locksmith of the 4th category and from there he was sent to study at the preparatory department of the Kazan Chemical-Technological Institute. CM. Kirov. After graduating from the institute, he returned to work at the Rossiya c/t, where he worked as a foreman at the RMZ and as a head of a section in the production of polymers until May 1980. I always remember with warmth about Kamensk, I was proud that I lived in this city and worked for the "Rossiya" ice hockey company, where I acquired the basic practical knowledge and skills that were useful to me in my future work. Chief Sigida I.G. - it was he who had a heart-to-heart talk with me when I was sent to work as an apprentice turner at the RMZ, he asked who I want to work with, - he answered: a locksmith. I called the head of the machine shop, V.N. Ternovy, if he had a place for an apprentice locksmith. I got to work in a team of mechanics Kurilekh T.I., where I was very well received. The workers of the highest class worked, whom I called professors of their field - these are Kurilekh T.I., Stepanishchev V.A., Trembach V.I., Rudoy L., Gaiduk V.A. Shelestyukov I.I., Surzhenko P.I., Khanin N.I., Akimov V., etc. He worked for one year at the State Testing Center for Burner Devices of NPO Soyuzpromgaz. And since June 1981, my destiny has been connected with the protection of pipelines and their connections from corrosion in the oil and gas industry. He worked for 7 years at the TatNIPIneft Institute, and in 1988 he organized Engineering and Production Center LLC, which successfully competes with leading Western companies in its field, developments are protected by about 150 patents of the Russian Federation for inventions and utility models. I am sorry that everything was destroyed in the 1990s and, in particular, you will not be able to return what is connected with the transfer of knowledge and experience to young workers, to that generation of workers of the highest class who are no longer among us. I think that Kamensk will revive and prosper. The policy in the state should change towards industrial and agricultural production. With great respect to the residents of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Honored Inventor of the Russian Federation V.M. Aiduganov
