Yuzha is one of those cities where you immediately feel especially comfortable. It’s small - it’s easy to get around in a couple of hours, but surprisingly unique, it will certainly be remembered by connoisseurs of architecture, lovers of classic Russian landscapes, and those who are looking for new gastronomic discoveries on their trips.

Local residents, southerners, are fluent in crafts forgotten in many other places: the wooden carvings that decorate the facades of houses alone are worth it. And almost every second of the southerners is an actor at the local People's Theater, which is more than 100 years old.

Yuzha: attractions | Cultural tourism

The ancient buildings of the weaving manufactory of the Balin merchants on the shore of the artificial lake Vasal are the historical center of ancient Yuzha, a quiet town lost among forests and swamps. In the press, Yuzha was called the most depressive city in Russia, an economic disaster zone.

The city is located on the shore of Lake Vasal, 95 km southeast of Ivanovo. The name comes from the Finno-Ugric “yuzga” - “swamp, swamp”. City status since 1925. Previously, the city had a station on the Balakhninsko-Shuiskaya narrow-gauge railway network. Travelers most often get to Yuzha in passing, on the way to Kholui, Shuya or Kovrov.

The settlement on the site of modern Yuzha has been known since the beginning of the 15th century. In the deed of gift of Prince Pozharsky, 1557, it is referred to as the Yuzhsky boundary, the name of which is a Russian adjective from the ancient Finno-Ugric hydronym Yug or Yuga - “river” (compare with Volzhsky from Volga). The village of Yuzha was named after this line (mentioned in 1628). Near the village of Yuzha in the 1860s. a paper spinning mill was built; the original hydronym was turned into Yuzha.

The Yuzhsky municipal district is located in the south-eastern part of the Ivanovo region, in one of the most protected corners of the picturesque Central Russian nature. The nearest railway stations are located within a radius of 50-90 km, air traffic is possible through Moscow airports and, in a fairly close future, through Ivanovo airport. The main vehicle is a car. The lack of well-maintained roads that allow the shortest route from Yuzha to the Vladimir and Nizhny Novgorod regions creates a “dead end effect” for the Yuzh region. The relative inaccessibility of the Yuzhsky district is one of the reasons for its additional attractiveness due to the fairly good preservation of natural potential, traditional Russian culture, way of life, folk arts and crafts.

10 km from Yuzha is the village of Kholui, a famous center of miniature painting on papier-mâché lacquerware. Kholuy art workshops and stitching factory are worthy of tourists' attention.

The city of Yuzha is famous not only for the beauty of its churches and nature, but is also rich in historical villages that appeared long before the village acquired the status of a city.

Yuzha - Cities and towns of Russia

City in the Ivanovo region, 15 thousand inhabitants.
(In the 1970s, the population reached 24 thousand.) It has had city status since 1925, but since the mid-19th century, factory production has been developing here, from which pre-revolutionary factory buildings, worker barracks and public buildings remain. Nowadays, perhaps, the most depressive city in the Ivanovo region. Residents of Yuzha are called southerners. It just so happens that of the 17 cities in the region, Yuzha is the southernmost (along with Gvarilov Posad). The city greeted me with a patriarchal landscape. (Near the bus station).

Stalin's two-story buildings on the street. Arsenyev (view from the yard).

The main street of Yuzhi is Sovetskaya. A beautiful wooden house, which, alas, stood directly opposite the sun.

The newly built Church of Seraphim of Sarov.

Next comes a block of mostly pre-revolutionary public buildings. School.

DK, former People's House.

Hospital complex.

It already looks like the 1930s.

Former almshouse, now something educational.

Constructivist fire department.

Now it’s a factory district. A spinning and weaving (or clothing?) factory from different sides.

As with most large factories, there is a quarter of workers' barracks. This one was built in 1901.

Plastered barracks. This doesn't happen that often.

Landscape with a water pump.

The factory from the side of the Pionerka River flowing through the city.

I didn’t photograph the Pioneer woman herself, but she was probably named after this one-armed heroine.

From across the river there are picturesque views of the city center.

Workers' village.

A quarter of the village on the southern bank of Pionerka.

Estate of former factory owners.

Now - other areas of Yuzha. Administration and Lenin.

Yuzha

The Yuzhsky district is a land of clear lakes, peat bogs, dense forests: dense spruce forests, light birch groves.

The very name of our land as the “Southern Frontier” is mentioned in the charter of the Pozharsky princes to the Spaso-Evfimiev Suzdal Monastery in 1556/57, and by some researchers it is derived from the word “yuzga”, which means swamp. Indeed, the area adjacent to the winding Lukh at its confluence with the Klyazma is very swampy. Perhaps this is a name of Finno-Ugric origin, the meaning of which is unlikely to be restored. The lands of the region are included in the interfluve of the Volga and Oka, where in the 6th - 19th centuries. Slavic colonization of territories inhabited by numerous Finno-Ugric tribes took place, from which many toponyms have been preserved: Yuzha, Teza, Klyazma, Kshhara, Cheremisino, etc. In the 14th century. the current southern lands were part of the Starodub principality, and during its division they formed the Ryapolovsky inheritance with its center in the ancient village of Ryapolovo. Since the 15th century. these lands were already part of the united Russian state. In the Yuzhsky district there were patrimonial lands of the Pozharsky princes, descendants of the Starodub princes. It was to the Mugreevo estate, where Prince Dmitry Mikhailovich Pozharsky was healing his wounds, that an embassy arrived from Nizhny Novgorod, asking the prince to lead the campaign of the people's militia against Moscow, which ended on October 27, 1612 with the liberation of Moscow from the Polish conquerors. In the town of Borok, where the people's militia stayed , and in the village of Mugreevo-Nikolskoye, memorial signs were erected in honor of the liberator of Moscow, Prince D.M. Pozharsky. According to the will of the prince, the Nikolskaya Borkovskaya hermitage was founded by his son in the town of Borok in 1612. The Teza River is known as an ancient trade route. Five wooden locks, cut down in the mid-19th century, which ensured navigation along it, still survive. The idea of ​​​​creating this lock system belongs to Peter the Great, who visited Shuya in 1722 and immediately appreciated the prospects of Teza as a water trade route. Yuzha provides a striking example of transformation in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. through the efforts of the Balin merchants, an ancient patrimonial village was transformed into an ancient textile factory village, which is a rare urban planning complex in terms of compositional integrity, combining industrial, residential and estate zones around the man-made Lake Vasal. This village is one of the most impressive examples of the implementation of the idea of ​​a garden city and a comprehensive solution to social problems in the conditions of pre-revolutionary Russia.

The Yuzhskaya Land has many facets that make it potentially attractive to both domestic and foreign tourists. It is called Central Russian or Ivanovo Karelia, because there are about 100 lakes in it, picturesque, exceptionally interesting for their flora and fauna. About 40 km away is Lake Svyatoe, with an area of ​​almost 300 hectares, exceptionally clean, well-warmed with high biodiversity and picturesque surroundings. This is a wonderful recreational area for children and adults. On the shore of the lake there is an actively developing convent, inheriting the traditions of the Svyatozerskaya Iverskaya Hermitage that was on this site, as well as a children's health camp. Lyulekh, Teza, Klyazma are environmentally friendly rivers that provide a combination of beautiful nature, picturesque landscapes and famous ancient villages located on the banks , including Palekh, Khotiml, Kholui, as well as a protected area for tourist kayakers - the unusually flowing Lukh River, with a wide glacial valley, carrying its waters to Klyazma.

Yuzha: attractions, photos, videos, reviews | Guide to Russia

Yuzha is, coincidentally, the southernmost and, perhaps, saddest regional center of the Ivanovo region. “Yuzga” means “swamp” in Finno-Ugric, and the ancient village, named after this word, was almost mired in some kind of depressive swamp by the 19th century. Travelers most often get to Yuzha in passing, on the way to Kholui, Shuya or Kovrov.

Yuzha officially became a city in the 1920s, but its heyday occurred at the end of the previous century. The most noticeable building of the city reminds of that era, more precisely, the whole complex of buildings of the weaving manufactory of the Balin merchants on the shore of the artificial lake Vasal. Until recently, the factory remained the main city-forming enterprise, as well as the historical center of Yuzha - a workers' settlement grew around it. Now the production is almost completely closed, but the powerful red brick walls have been preserved better than all other ancient southern buildings. In the former factory almshouse there is a city school, in the mansion of the owners, the merchants Balins, there is a kindergarten. The mansion looks modest in comparison with the factory buildings: a large wooden hut on the street with the appropriate name Dacha. Yuzha generally looks modest and bears little resemblance to a city: a lake in the center, almost village houses, pine forests approaching the outskirts.

The most beautiful southern architectural monument is also related to the weaving manufactory: the white stone People's House was built according to Gerlich's design in 1910, for the 25th anniversary of the Balin partnership. Today it is a House of Culture, that is, the specialization, in general, has not changed, only everything has become much more modest - no theater, no billiard room. There are almost no old churches left in Yuzha, except for churches in suburban villages and the recreated Smolensk Church on the remote Old Yuzha street.

Yuzha has only 14 thousand inhabitants, and this number is still decreasing. The inhabitants, by the way, are called southerners. As often happens, to revitalize the city, local authorities are trying to invent a tourist brand, especially since Yuzha is connected with such successful neighbors in this regard as Kholui or Balakhna. It would seem that there is already a “brand” in Yuzha - the Balins and their factory, the basis of the city. However, in recent years, obviously more popular historical characters have been taken as heroes - Kozma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky. Minin was born in Balakhna, and the modern Yuzhsky district included the lands of the Pozharsky princes. In honor of this, two memorial signs have now been erected. The functions of the local history museum in Yuzha are performed by the House of Crafts, which “invites everyone to creativity,” as indicated on the sign. In the House of Crafts you can mold, paint, cut, sculpt or embroider something - there are 14 studios teaching folk crafts, ethnographic exhibitions are open, there is an exhibition hall and a folklore ensemble. Even more original interactive excursions are organized by the city bakery, almost as old as the Balin factory, but still operational. At the bakery, you can bake buns with your own hands using historical technology and try what you learn.

Yuzha can easily be called the cycling capital of the Ivanovo region. Everyone rides bicycles here, from young to old, there are many bicycle parking lots near the shops. Residents of the region themselves note that they have never seen so many cyclists as in Yuzha. Perhaps the reason for this popularity is Yuzhi’s roads: to put it mildly, they leave much to be desired.

The village of Yuzha was first mentioned in documents from the mid-16th century. Its name is associated with the Meryan “south” or “yuga” - river. The surrounding lands were part of one of the appanages of the small Starodub principality, which then passed into the possession of the Pozharsky princes, the ancestors of the liberator of Moscow Dmitry Pozharsky.

However, Yuzha-Nikolskoye would have remained an ordinary landowner village with the Smolensk Church (1795), if a paper spinning factory and Asigkrit Balin had not appeared in it. Having started working with fabric from his grandfather, the owner of a small dyeing establishment in the Shuya village of Dunilovo, Asigkrit Yakovlevich left ten million dollars in capital to his no less resourceful children.

The Church of the Holy Apostle Asinkrit (this is another spelling of the name Asigkrit; of course, the temple is also made of red brick), built in memory of him, on Sovetskaya Street is now occupied by the city art school. Therefore, the city authorities did not return it to the community of believers - in return they handed over to them the building of the people's court and prosecutor's office, which before the revolution was the manor house of the director of the Shuya manufactory, Mikhail Pavlov.

Soviet power also left its traces in Yuzha, although not as noticeable as Balin’s traces. For example, the city river has since been called Pionerka.

In recent times, the main road connecting Yuzha with the outside world was the narrow-gauge railway Shuya - Talitsa - Balakhna. Freight and passenger trains ran along the 200-kilometer railway, and bales of cotton were transported from the Klyazma piers to the factory. Now the Yuzhi railway station is empty, and the rails are gradually being removed from the tracks.
