Lyubertsy on a map of Russia with streets and houses

Lyubertsy is the outskirts of the capital, sharing a common border with Moscow. If you look at the map of Lyubertsy from a satellite, you will notice that the city is located almost within walking distance from the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line of the Moscow metro. It is only about 20 km away from the Kazansky railway station.

On the site of the modern city there were previously rural lands; in the 17th century. the settlements were presented to Peter III. And only at the end of the 19th century, when a railway was laid through the settlement, which can be seen on the map of Lyubertsy with diagrams, the settlement began to acquire an industrial orientation. Small villages were united by the Ukhtomsky plant, workers began to arrive, and the settlement gradually grew.

Nowadays, the city is a railway junction on the Ryazan direction with developed industry and a population of more than 180 thousand. Lyubertsy is characterized by very dense buildings; the territory of the city, accommodating such a large number of residents, is only 12 km2.

DRANCY – FRENCH SIBLIN CITY Lyubertsy

Pbratymov Street - many of our readers have probably heard about it or been to this microdistrict of high-rise buildings in the north of Lyubertsy. However, not every Lyubertsy resident knows why this street got its “name”.

And this story began half a century ago: it was then that the foundation was laid for further contacts, exchange of delegations and cooperation between the sister cities of Lyubertsy (USSR) and Drancy (France).

RESIDENTS OF COVENTRY TO THE DEFENSERS OF STALINGRAD

Officially, 1944 is considered the starting point for the movement of twin cities (twin cities). But this idea originated even earlier: in the British city of Coventry, after the terrible night of November 14, 1940, when 12 hours of German bombing killed 554 people and destroyed three-quarters of the houses in the city center. Two years later, the city of Stalingrad was subjected to gigantic destruction by the Nazis.

It was then that a left-wing movement arose in Coventry, calling on Britain to step up assistance to the Soviet Union. And the city itself did a lot to send help to the “Russians at the front,” and this became a touching event. 830 Coventry women paid six pence each for the right to embroider their signature on the tablecloth. And in total the population of Coventry then collected a considerable sum of 4,516 pounds for the purchase of X-ray machines for the Red Army; Children also took part in collecting money. The tablecloth from Coventry, along with the message “A little help is better than a lot of sympathy” and with the donations collected, was transferred through the USSR Embassy in London to Stalingrad. In response, hundreds of surviving women of Stalingrad sent an album with their signatures to Coventry. In 1944, the bonds of friendship between these two cities were formalized; and the Coventry tablecloth is still kept in the Museum of the Battle of Stalingrad in Volgograd as a priceless relic.

In 1957, representatives of sister cities created the World Federation of Twin Cities (WFTG), which in 1963 declared the last Sunday in April as World Sister Cities Day. In 1964, the twin cities of the USSR united into the Association for Relations between Soviet and Foreign Cities, which became part of the All-Union Federal Penitentiary Group. Later, sister cities Lyubertsy and Drancy were also included in this Association.

A CITY ON THE OUTBAR OF PARIS

It’s gratifying to know, isn’t it, that just 11 kilometers from the center of Paris there is the city of Drancy, which for us, Lyubertsy, has been for half a century not completely “foreign,” but officially related to our Lyubertsy. 66.5 thousand residents of Drancy get up every morning with the hope of a successful day, make plans, rush to work, study or on dates with loved ones, and each of them, like us, probably dreams of happiness and peace.

The city of Drancy is located in the Ile-de-France region (translated from French as the Island of France), in the central part of the Paris Basin, between the Seine, Marne and Oise rivers. The territory of Ile-de-France (with its center in Paris) is often called the core of the French state. The Ile-de-France region includes 8 departments, one of which, Seine-Saint-Denis, includes the city of Drancy. Small in area, the department of Seine-Saint-Denis ranks second in France in terms of population density.

The history of Drancy has been known since the Gallo-Roman era (3rd century AD). In the Middle Ages, this region subsisted on agriculture: cereals and grapes were grown on the plains, and cattle were grazed in the meadows. In the 16th-17th centuries, Drancy belonged to the Seguier family, who built a castle on this land. In the 19th century, Baron de Ladoucette built a large park in Drancy. For hundreds of years, the family of barons de Ladoucette kept the winery for their pleasure and prestige. Now a citizen of France and a descendant of the famous family, Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, is widely known not only in his Fatherland, but throughout the world. The first of the generations of his aristocratic family, Patrick de Ladoucette chose winemaking as his main occupation. In 1975, he released his wine “Baron de L”, which provided him with recognition for many years. Today, Baron de Ladoucette is one of the most successful creators of expensive wines in the world: he owns 8 brands of wines and champagne. Most of his wines are made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the Loire River valley, where the baron’s luxurious castle is located...

The annual summer Lendy fair, held on the plain between the city of Saint-Denis and Paris, to which sellers and buyers flocked from all over Europe, also had a positive effect on the development of Drancy. With the creation of railways, active economic growth began in the region, which contributed to its demographic development. During the war between France and Prussia, in 1870, Drancy was almost completely destroyed. In the next century, amid a housing crisis exacerbated by the military destruction of the First World War, the state was forced to subsidize low-cost housing construction. One progressive example of this was the La Muette residential complex in Drancy, built in 1930-1934. designed by the architects Eugene Baudouin and Marcel Lauds. It was densely built up with 15-story single-section “tower” buildings in a row, each of which was adjacent to two 3-4-story sectional buildings. In construction, flow-based organization of work was used for the first time; a metal and reinforced concrete frame was used with filling from lightweight prefabricated concrete slabs.

CAMP WINDOWS TO ETERNITY

In 1940, the La Muette complex was confiscated by the German occupiers: used as police barracks, then as the primary detention center in the Paris region for the isolation of Jews, Gypsies and anyone planned to be deported from France. This transit concentration camp in Drancy and a transit point for sending people to death camps became one of the most shameful and terrible pages in the list of Nazi atrocities. 70 thousand Jews passed through the Drancy camp during the Second World War, 61 thousand of them were deported to the Auschwitz and Sobibor concentration camps. The famous French poet and artist Max Jacob also died in the Drancy concentration camp; Many representatives of the Russian emigration in France passed through him and later died in Nazi concentration camps. The prisoners of the Drancy concentration camp were actively helped by Mother Maria, the nun Maria, and in the world by an emigrant from Russia Elizaveta Skobtseva, after her first husband Kuzmina-Karavaeva, the heroine of the Resistance movement, who died in the Ravensbrück concentration camp in March 1945 - a week before the liberation of its prisoners by the Red Army . On August 17, 1944, Allied troops entered the Drancy camp, where they found only 2 thousand people alive.

After the war, the La Muette complex again became a residential area, where in 1976 a monument to the victims of Nazism was erected, and in 1988 a commemorative railway carriage was installed - one of those in which French deportees were taken to Auschwitz. On September 21, 2012, in Drancy, the opening ceremony of the Holocaust memorial was held by French President Francois Hollande, at which the head of state called the transit camp in Drancy during the war years “the threshold of hell.” President Hollande stressed the need to pass on the memory of the terrible crimes of Nazism to future generations, calling learning from the past “a way to prevent it from happening again.”

MAURICE NIELE – HERO OF THE RESISTANCE AND MAYOR OF DRANCY

The fact that Lyubertsy and Drancy became sister cities was greatly facilitated, of course, by the heroic past and civic position of Maurice Niel, the mayor of the city of Drancy since 1959, who was elected to this post 7 times (!) from then to 1997; his positive attitude towards our country, which did so much for the Victory over fascism.

The future statesman and politician, member of the French Communist Party, Maurice Niel was born in Paris on August 12, 1919 in a working-class family. In his youth, he also worked as a milling machine operator at one of the Parisian enterprises. In 1939 he was mobilized into the French army, and at the beginning of the war with Germany he was captured and escaped from a prisoner of war camp. Maurice Niel joined the Occupation Resistance movement from the very beginning. Perhaps even then he turned his attention to the Russians, who fought against fascism shoulder to shoulder with the French: 3 thousand Soviet citizens who ended up in France, and many emigrants from Russia who lived there, also took part in the Resistance movement. In 1941, Maurice Niel was again captured by the Nazis, again fled and joined the partisan detachment - the “Maquis”. Thanks to his personal courage, he soon became the commander of a partisan detachment, at the head of which he participated in the liberation of the city of Bordeaux from the invaders.

After the end of the war, Maurice Niel returned to Paris. In 1986, he became a deputy of the French National Assembly from the department of Seine-Saint-Denis on the lists of the French Communist Party. An officer of the Legion of Honor and the Order of Merit, Maurice Niel was also awarded the Military Cross, the Resistance Medal (France), the Cross of the Resistance Volunteers and the Veteran's Cross Medal. He passed away on December 5, 2001 in the city of Bobigny in the Seine-Saint-Denis department near Paris. But the memory of this most worthy man is alive not only in France, but also on the land of Lyubertsy.

From December 2001 to this day, the head of the city of Drancy is Jean-Christophe Lagarde (born in 1967), a member of the National Assembly of the French Republic.

Our story about the stay of delegations from the French city of Drancy on Lyubertsy land is in one of the upcoming issues of the newspaper.

What is Lyubertsy known for?

Among the city's attractions, one should highlight the House of N. A. Kruming, the American owner of a plant in Lyubertsy. Previously, social events with a large number of invited guests were often held here. One of these guests was V.I. Lenin in 1920. Today a museum is opened in the building.
In 1995, the Chapel of All Saints was built in the city - in memory of those who died who defended their homeland. The chapel belongs to the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord.
Among the historical architectural monuments in the city, it is worth noting the Zenino Estate, which was named in honor of Zinaida Kagulskaya, the daughter of Sergei Rumyantsev. The estate is divided into two parts: on one side there is a mental institution, on the other there is a three-story estate.
Between the Moskva River and Pekhorka rivers there is the Tomilino Forest Park, which is 14 km long and 5 km wide. The area of the forest park is 3,500 hectares. More than 3,000 species of bushes, plants and fruits grow on the territory of the Tomilino Forest Park. There is also a monastery within the park.

Story

The history of Lyubertsy begins for the first time with the mention of the village of Liberitsa-Nazarovo in 1621. The first part of the name is from the river, the second is from the name of the owner. The official founding date of the settlement is 1623. Since 1705 it belonged to Prince A. Menshikov, who renamed it Preobrazhenskoye. Soon it was given its modern name.

In the 19th century, a railway was built there. Rapid growth of industry and population began. The development of production in the village was due to the construction of the steam engine factory of Thomas Purdais. The object appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. The revolution of 1905 was accompanied by worker conflicts.

After the advent of Soviet power, in 1925, Lyubertsy was given the status of a city. It includes the villages of Panki, Podosinki, and Mikhelson. After the end of World War II, it developed rapidly. During the Russian Federation it became one of the most densely populated areas of the Moscow region.
