Story
Early population
In the Middle Ages, the territory of the modern Khabarovsk Territory was inhabited mainly by the peoples of the Tungus-Manchu language group, as well as the Nivkhs. In China, they were collectively known as "wild Jurchens".
In the XIII-XIV centuries, the Mongol rulers of China repeatedly organized expeditions to the lower Amur, where in 1263 they founded their “Marshal’s Headquarters” near the present village of Tyr in the lower reaches of the Amur (about 100 km above the mouth). eastern campaigns”, and at about the same time they erected a shrine.
In the 15th century, near the same village of Tyr, several expeditions of the Ming dynasty, led by the eunuch Ishih, erected the Yongnin Buddhist temple and installed steles (the so-called Tyr steles, now stored in a museum in Vladivostok). However, the subordination of the local tribes to the Chinese authorities was rather nominal. After the departure of the Chinese and the fire in the temple, it was not restored by the locals.
Russian pioneers
The exploration of the Far East by Russian explorers began in the 17th century.
In 1639, a detachment of Cossack explorers led by Ivan Moskvitin reached the shores of the Sea of Okhotsk (then Lama).
The first prison was set up at the mouth of the Ulya River. In 1647 Semyon Shelkovnikov founded the Okhotsk prison. These were the first Russian settlements in the Khabarovsk Territory.
Before the appearance of the Russians, the tribes of Daurs, Evenks, Natks, Gilyaks and others lived here, in total about 30 thousand people.
More than 350 years ago, the Russian explorer Yerofey Pavlovich Khabarov of the Russian state with a detachment of 70 people set off from Yakutsk to explore new lands. Having risen along the Lena River, E.P. Khabarov compiled a “Drawing of the Amur River” and a report to Moscow, in which he wrote: “... the Daurian land will be more profitable than the Lena ... and against the whole of Siberia there will be a place in that decorated and plentiful ...” Since then, the interest of Russian sovereigns in the Far East has not subsided.
The Amur region was quickly mastered by Russian settlers. New prisons were founded: Albazinsky (1651), Achansky (1652), Kumarsky (1654), Kosogorsky (1655) and others, as well as peasant villages: Soldatovo, Ignashkino, Pokrovskoye, Monastyrshchina, Andryushkino and others.
By the beginning of the 1680s of the 17th century, up to 800 male souls lived in the Amur basin. More than a thousand acres of arable land were plowed up. There were good harvests.
The entire Amur to the Tatar Strait and the territory east of the Argun to the Greater Khingan became part of the Russian state. A large ore deposit has been discovered.
Nerchinsk uyezd and Albazin voivodeship were formed, which became the centers of Russian activity on the Amur.
However, the process of development of the region was interrupted due to the aggression of the Qing Empire. From the beginning of the 80s of the 17th century, the Manchus entered into open conflict with the Russian state. Military operations were conducted in Transbaikalia and on the Amur.
Russia was not going to cede the Far Eastern borders. Along with the heroic defense of Albazin (1685-1686), attempts were made to settle the issue through negotiations. The Russian embassy went to Beijing.
But, not being able to transfer large military forces to the Amur region, Russia was forced to sign the Nerchinsk Treaty imposed on it (1689). According to the territorial articles, Russian subjects left the left bank of the Amur. The exact border between the two states was not established.
A huge region, successfully mastered long time, turned into a deserted strip that belonged to no one. Russia only managed to defend the right to Transbaikalia and the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. In the XVIII century.
Okhotsk becomes the main Pacific port of the country. Development of the northern shores Pacific Ocean, research Kuril Islands and Sakhalin prepared the foundations for the return of the Amur region.
Development of the Amur Region in the 19th century
Energetic steps towards the return of Russia to the Amur region were taken by Nikolai Nikolayevich Muravyov, who was appointed in 1847 the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia. He owns the words: "Whoever owns the mouths of the Amur, he will own Siberia."
With the broad support of Muravyov, the complicated issue of the navigability of the mouth and estuary of the Amur and the insular position of Sakhalin was resolved.
An outstanding role in solving this geographical problem was played by Gennady Ivanovich Nevelskoy. In 1850 he raised Russian flag at the mouth of the Amur and founded the Nikolaevsky military post (now the city of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur), which since 1855 has become the country's main naval base in the Pacific Ocean.
In 1854-1856, rafting of troops and Cossacks along the Amur was carried out. This made it possible to set up new posts, villages, villages: Mariinsky, Uspenskoye, Bogorodskoye, Irkutsk and others. The number of the Russian population in the region increased markedly.
In 1858, the Aigun Treaty was signed, and in 1860, the Beijing Treaty, finally resolving the border issue.
In 1858, Khabarovsk, Sofiysk, Innokentyevka, Korsakovo, Kazakevichevo and other strongholds were founded.
From 1858 to 1860, more than three thousand Human. They supplied the villages of Voronezhskoye, Vyatskoye, Troitskoye, Permskoye, Tambovskoye and others.
Among the first settlers there were many schismatic Old Believers. By the beginning of the 1830s of the 19th century, about half of the population of the Amur region consisted of Old Believers.
In 1856, the Primorskaya Oblast was formed. In 1858, it included 6 districts: Okhotsk, Nikolaevsky, Sofiysky, Petropavlovsky, Gizhiginsky, Udsky. In 1860, the South Ussuri Territory was formed as part of the region.
In 1884, the Priamursk General Government was formed as part of the Trans-Baikal, Amur and Primorsky regions with the center in the city of Khabarovsk. This division remained until the end of the 19th century.
Until the end of the 19th century, the settlement of the Amur region proceeded at a slow pace. The situation began to change by the beginning of the 20th century.
In 1900, traffic was opened along the Trans-Baikal railway, and in 1902 along the Chinese-East, accelerating the influx of immigrants to the region.
The war with Japan in 1904-1905 disrupted the resettlement plans. From January 1904 to March 1906, not only the Amur region, but the whole Eastern Siberia were closed for relocation.
But in 1906-1907, a powerful influx of new settlers began. From 1900 to 1913, about 300 thousand peasants from other parts of the country arrived in the Amur region.
A feature of the settlement of the region was that a significant part of the settlers settled in cities. According to the All-Russian census of 1897, in the European part of the country, urban dwellers accounted for 12.8%, in the Amur region - 27.3%, in Primorskaya - 22.7%.
By 1915, there were more than six thousand settlements. 316,300 people lived in them, of which 43,500 people lived in the Khabarovsk district.
On the territory belonging to the modern Khabarovsk Territory there were three cities: Khabarovsk, Nikolaevsk-on-Amur and Okhotsk.
Revolution
The events of 1917 caused an ambiguous assessment of various sections of the Far East. The decisive actions of the Soviets evoked the approval of some and the rejection of others. The split of society into "reds" and "whites" did not pass the edge. The civil war, aggravated by the intervention of the interventionists, led to huge casualties and a severe economic disaster.
On April 6, 1920, the Far Eastern Republic (FER) was created to prevent a military clash between Soviet Russia and Japan and solve the problem of the peaceful elimination of intervention in the territory of Transbaikalia, the Amur and Primorsky regions. Unable to diplomatically subdue the FER to its influence, Japan in 1921 took steps to intensify the fighting of the white troops. The actions of the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far East, supported by red partisan detachments, led to victory in the Volochaev operation and the liberation of Khabarovsk, the capture of Spassk, and entry into Vladivostok. On November 15, 1922, the Far Eastern Region was transformed into the Far Eastern Region of the RSFSR. In December 1923, it was transferred to Khabarovsk from Chita. administrative center. The restoration of the pre-war level of the national economy was completed by 1926. And on January 4, 1926, the Far Eastern Region was abolished and transformed into the Far Eastern Territory.
A new aggravation of the international situation on the Far Eastern borders of the country required strengthening the defense capability of the region. As a result, the processes of reorganization of industry, transport, Agriculture. New schools have opened. New cities were built - Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Birobidzhan. Plants and factories were opened, the transport network developed. Since 1933, radio broadcasts from Moscow began to be received in Khabarovsk, and in 1936 the laying of the Moscow-Far East telephone line was completed. Resettlement continued to the region from central regions countries. By 1939, the population of the Far Eastern Territory had increased to 2.5 million people.
On October 20, 1938, the Far Eastern Territory was divided into Khabarovsk and Primorsky. The Khabarovsk Territory consisted of the Khabarovsk, Amur, Nizhneamur, Sakhalin, Kamchatka (with the Koryak and Chukotka national districts) regions, the Jewish Autonomous Region and three northern regions directly subordinate to the regional executive committee.
In 1939, the Khabarovsk region was liquidated, and the Kolyma district was formed in the north of the region, which was liquidated in the same year.
In 1947-1948, the Sakhalin and Amur regions were separated from the Khabarovsk Territory.
On September 15, 1948, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR decided to "Transfer the city of Sovetskaya Gavan together with the suburban area from Primorsky Krai to Khabarovsk Krai"
In 1953, the Magadan Region was formed and withdrew from the territory, to which the Chukotka National District was transferred from the Kamchatka Region.
In 1956, the Kamchatka Oblast (with the Koryak National District) became independent, and the Nizhneamurskaya Oblast was abolished, and its districts were subordinated directly to the Khabarovsk Territory.
After perestroika in 1991, the Jewish Autonomous Region left the region.
