History of the village of Dzhemete
The name of the village - Dzhemete - translated from Adyghe, sounds like “golden sands”. And, indeed, this suburb of Anapa, like neighboring Vityazevo, is famous for its long and wide golden sandy beaches.
This territory passed to Russia, like other Black Sea settlements of the Krasnodar Territory, in the late 30s of the 19th century. Then a Russian fortified fortress was created on the site of the current resort, and it remained such until the end of the 80s of the same century.
The sandy coast formed naturally in the Dzhemete area
More vibrant life in this sandy area began in the late 80s and early 90s of the 19th century. General D. Pilenko drew attention to him
and began to develop waste lands, planting vineyards there. The enterprising general found followers, and soon this area turned into one of the centers of viticulture. Local grapes made excellent quality wine.
After the revolution, the farms that miraculously survived the devastation became the property of the state, and on their basis the first Kuban viticulture state farm appeared here. The beginning of the 20s is also associated with the beginning of the research work of the Anapa Zonal Experimental Station established here, which was engaged in the selection of new varietal grapes.
Mass grape cultivation began in Dzhemet at the end of the 19th century
In parallel with the development of viticulture, the village began to attract attention as an excellent sanatorium and resort area. The healing and health effects of this place on the human body were noticed in ancient times. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. Dachas were actively built here; in 1909, one of the first Anapa sanatoriums, V. Budzinsky, appeared. This resort place itself was called – Sands
. Almost from the very beginning, Sands began to be considered a children's resort, but there was no mass use of it in this capacity before the revolution. Only after the consequences of the devastation of the Civil War were eliminated, Dzhemete began to actively develop as a children's resort.
Organized baths were held on the Sands at the beginning of the 20th century
The beginning of the creation of children's camps in the 20s of the 20th century is connected in Dzhemet directly with the appearance of a huge number of street children - children orphaned during the years of revolutionary changes, dispossession, repression, etc. At that time, children fled en masse to the south of Kuban, settling in the Peski area in forest thickets, in the mountains, etc. To accommodate these children, confiscated mansions were adapted, tent camps were created, washrooms, canteens, etc. were built.
In addition to organizing local street children, weakened and sick children from large Russian cities were taken to the vicinity of Anapa. On the initiative of the American Red Cross, which was engaged in rescuing St. Petersburg children, in the summer of 1921 a lot of children from Petrograd arrived here. Gradually, by the end of the 20s, the massive creation of children's pioneer camps began along the coast to organize regular children's recreation.
Numerous street children were the first to fill up the children's camps in Dzhemete
By the beginning of the war, seventeen pioneer camps and three sanatorium institutions were functioning in Peski for the recreation and treatment of children, including the family sanatorium “Mother and Child”. During the years of German occupation, most of these sanatoriums and medical institutions were destroyed. After the war, the sanatorium and resort life of the village was restored, and its development as a resort in the Krasnodar Territory again began to gain momentum year by year.
Since 1947, the main road (Dzhemetinskoye Highway), connecting Anapa with Dzhemete, around which the active creation of children's camps took place, began to be called Pionersky Avenue.
Pionersky Avenue today connects Anapa with Vityazevo, passing through Dzhemete
Today this avenue is the center of the resort life of the village. Hundreds of tourists pass through it every day in search of accommodation, food, entertainment and simply a relaxing resort pastime.
