Story

The history of the settlement dates back to 1710, when the first immigrants from the Kharkov and Poltava provinces settled here. Among them was a Little Russian who bore the surname Kotenko, which is where the name of the settlement came from. Then other small settlements began to form in the surrounding area, formed by state-owned Ukrainian peasants.

Over time, the city was developed; it was filled with residential buildings and industrial buildings. The Archangel Michael Church was built from stone. The five streets that made up the city at that time ran parallel to the river. Kazanka.

Each household had its own vegetable garden and orchard. The number of wells in the village exceeded a hundred. The surrounding area is surrounded by arable land and forests. In Kotovo there were three large gardens with fruit trees, on the territory of which there were springs and lakes. This area was rich in natural springs, bogs and swamps.

In 1842, the parish school began to operate, and the second, the zemstvo school, opened in 1894. By 1914, 4 more schools were added to this number, a fire department, a paramedic station, a postal station, 7 oil mills, a volost court, and a savings bank were already functioning. , 13 “wind turbines”.

In 1947, the Korobkovskoye oil field was discovered here, and from the mid-50s, the formation of an oil field took place. In 1958, Kotovo became a working-class village, and in 1966 it received city status. In the same year, the Korobkovsky gas processing plant began operations, and an enterprise for the production of drilling equipment was also put into operation, producing about 200 types of various products.

A cinema, 5 general education and one music school, several sports facilities and libraries, and a cultural center began operating in the city. The municipal infrastructure was well developed and gasification was complete. Paved roads stretch from Kotovo to all villages.

Now the area is considered industrial, since the volume of agricultural products produced is only 4%. While the rest is occupied by industrial goods. The district has 44 educational institutions, 24 gyms, a stadium for 5,000 people, and two swimming pools.

An entire city died out in 9 months.

In the first 9 months of 2022, the natural population decline in the Volgograd region amounted to almost 12 thousand people. 14,891 people were born in the region, which is 7.8% less than a year earlier (a decrease of 4.2% in Russia, and 3.6% in the Southern Federal District).

The number of people dying in the Volgograd region is 1.8 times more active - in January-September 26,496 residents died, an increase of 7.7% (5.1% on average for the Southern Federal District).

Thus, in just 9 months, 11,915 more people died than were born. This is approximately the current population of cities in the region such as Petrov Val or Dubovka.

In terms of per 1000 people, the birth rate in the region, as in all recent years, is the worst in the Southern Federal District and one of the lowest in the country - 7.8. In the Southern Federal District the coefficient is 9.4 (in the country 9.7), while, for example, in the neighboring Astrakhan region and Kalmykia it is 10.6 and 10.3, respectively.

Over the same 9 months, an average of 14.2 people died out of every thousand Volgograd residents. Among the regions of the Southern Federal District, only Crimea is worse, where the coefficient was 14.4.

Thus, the population loss rate in the Volgograd region is 6.1, while 4.1 in the Southern Federal District and 3.6 in Russia. The only region among our neighbors that is almost not dying out - the coefficient is 0.1 - is Kalmykia. However, a year earlier in the steppe republic there was a natural increase of 0.6.

How it all began

In 1954, the question of building the city of Kotovo in order to develop the Korobkovskoye oil and gas field arose with all seriousness.

“The clay huts with thatched roofs are covered to the very eaves with snow, and thick dung smoke is pouring out of the chimneys. Only one-horse sleighs could pass through the narrow streets,” this is how Viktor Afanasyevich Sitnikov, the head of the district, describes the then Kotovo.

According to his testimony, in the summer of 1954 a group of authoritative specialists arrived in the area, who, after numerous discussions, decided that the city would be built along Malaya Kazanka, starting from the poplars near the building of the regional hospital, located on the outskirts of the village of Kotovo towards the village of Serino, in an area in 4 kilometers.

And so in the winter of January 1955, the first barracks began to be built on a vacant lot blown by a freezing wind. Not everyone believed that Kotovo would ever be transformed and become green.

In the park where the fountain is now, tiny blue spruces were then planted. Valya Onopko brought them from the Caucasus with all possible precautions. In the carriage, fellow travelers laughed at the dreamer girl, but she believed that the prickly beauties would take root in our steppe region. And now these spruce trees live and delight us.

All enterprises and organizations, every resident of Kotovka, took an active part in the improvement of the city. People understood that they were doing this for themselves, for their children and grandchildren...

These are different times. The attitude towards the city is different. The great lover of life A.P. Chekhov once said: “If every person on a piece of his land did everything he could, how beautiful our land would be!”

Based on the book “Kotovo is our cradle” by I.P. Zozulina.
