Founding of Voronezh

The region where Voronezh is located has been called the Voronezh province since 1725, which occupied vast areas from Azov proper in the south to Murom in the north. The city gradually developed, a theological seminary appeared in which the lower clergy were trained.

Like all Russian cities, Voronezh was built up mainly with wooden houses and this created a high risk of fires, the worst of which happened on May 10, 1748. The entire historical center, located on the river bank, was destroyed by fire, but soon the city was rebuilt again on the site of the current University Square.

The city also occupied an important place during the Patriotic War of 1812, when recruits arrived in the city from nearby provinces to join the resistance. The region where the city of Voronezh is located was not occupied by enemy troops at that time, so it was here that collections of money and uniforms for volunteers took place.

"Voronezh - Peter's city." How the king turned an inconspicuous fortress into the capital

Exactly 320 years have passed since the first visit of Peter I to Voronezh on Sunday, March 13. From 1696 to 1722, the emperor came to Voronezh 13 times and spent a total of 1.5 years here. Historical facts about the significant role of Peter in the development of the country are widely known, but what influence the tsar-reformer had on Voronezh, residents of the capital of the Black Earth Region do not know so well. At the request of a RIA Voronezh correspondent, local historian, candidate of historical sciences, and writer Nikolai Komolov undertook to fill in the gaps.

"There's a lot of empty space." How Peter I assessed Voronezh

– Why did Peter I choose Voronezh for the construction of the fleet?
– The Emperor appreciated the advantages of the city’s location - the Voronezh River was navigable (by that time river boats had been floating along it for 100 years), not far from the fortress it flowed into the Don. Secondly, the local population was accustomed to building ships. There were craftsmen and carpenters here who had cut their teeth on the construction of river plows. Their experience could be used to create a navy.

– What did Peter I’s idea give to Voronezh to make it a springboard for building a fleet and capturing Azov?

– Before the tsar’s first arrival in Voronezh, it was an average, not very remarkable town, which did not particularly stand out against the background of similar border fortresses. With the arrival of Peter, the fortress began to change. After all, in order to build a fleet, it was necessary to create the appropriate infrastructure: enterprises for the production of ropes, resin, sails, and iron products. A kind of industrialization began. The quiet town has turned into a fairly powerful industrial center. In addition, workers had to be provided with food, which led to the rapid development of trade.

– How has the social life of Voronezh changed thanks to Peter I?

– To build the fleet, it was necessary to attract thousands of workers. They were collected from the Urals, Ukraine. Many foreigners came to the city, because for Russia the creation of a navy was unusual. The Dutch, British, Venetians, and Danes came to Voronezh. They all spoke different languages, had different religions (Catholicism, Protestantism of different movements), customs, and culture. So Voronezh turned into a kind of Babylon. And its inhabitants, to some extent, became familiar with the attributes of Western civilization. Churches were built in the shipyard area, and the Assumption Church stood nearby, and all this coexisted perfectly. Yes, there were conflicts. But we can say that Peter created a kind of platform for tolerance on the basis of Voronezh, taught the townspeople that foreigners are “people too,” and you can communicate and work with them. All this, in the end, led to the fact that both the appearance of the city and its perception changed. The word "Voronezh" became known in Europe. Monarchs from different countries knew that Peter was on the Don in some Voronezh and was building a fleet there. And foreign diplomats came here to see Peter. So, by choosing Voronezh, Peter I made a fateful decision. I believe that in the history of our city there were two epochal events - the construction of the fleet and the period of the Great Patriotic War.

– How long did the impulse given by Peter to Voronezh last?

– Shipbuilding in the city lasted 15 years. After an unsuccessful war with Turkey, it had to be curtailed. Petersburg and the Baltic Fleet were building up their forces, and the masters were leaving there. Voronezh in terms of fleet construction began to fade; it continued in Tavrov, Pavlovsk, Novokhopersk. Why did Voronezh continue to develop after Peter the Great? Our city was the economic center of the Don region due to its convenient geographical location - both land and river routes. Eventually, it became a merchant city, but this has little to do with Peter I.

– Why do you think Peter I had such an influence on our history?

– Attempts to introduce features of Western civilization began in Rus' even before Peter, including under his father Alexei Mikhailovich and brother Fyodor Alekseevich. But Peter had a special temperament, an explosive character, he could not sit still and do one thing. Because of this, the king gave the country a much stronger impetus. Thanks to Peter, the European vector of Russia’s development became irreversible; we could no longer turn in the other direction. And Voronezh occupies a worthy place here. Never again did a head of state spend so much time in the provinces as Peter I did in Voronezh. If you add up all 13 of Peter’s visits, it turns out that he spent almost a year and a half with us. At this time, Voronezh became the center of political decision-making, the unofficial capital of Russia. The decade and a half at the turn of the 17th-18th centuries was a very bright period in the history of our city. Of course, Voronezh is Peter’s city. And we can be proud of this.

Volgograd (859.4 sq. km)

Volgograd is a hero city, originally called Tsaritsyn, then Stalingrad for some time. Now it has more than a million inhabitants. The city stands on the Volga, along which ancient trade routes passed. This city forever linked its name with the largest battle of World War II, the Battle of Stalingrad, in which the heroism, courage and unbending will of our soldiers were demonstrated. To perpetuate the memory of this battle, the majestic Motherland monument was erected in Volgograd, which has since become the hallmark of the city.

Border is locked tight

The boyars had reasons for such a decision. These lands were considered a “problem region” at that time. Through them came detachments of Crimean and Nogai Tatars - dangerous warriors and greedy robbers. Cherkassy - Cossacks and other “walking people” of the Ukrainian Wild Field also appeared there.

In addition, the Don became a refuge for numerous fugitives from Russian lands. People were in a hurry to hide from the oppression of the feudal lords, from the miserable life, from the bad character of Ivan the Terrible - there were more than enough reasons to escape. These fugitives ceased to be a “productive force” and turned into a threat to the state, as they often engaged in robbery.

In order to secure the borders and limit the flow of fugitives, it was necessary to have authorities and military force on the Don. The new fortress was designed to solve this problem - it could accommodate a garrison and government institutions. At the same time, the possibility arose of returning desolate, uncontrolled lands to general state use.

Since in this case the construction of the city was a “sovereign matter,” it was organized accordingly. The person responsible for the implementation of the project was appointed - the noble boyar Semyon Fedorovich Saburov. At his disposal were “service” and “working” people from Pereyaslavl (Ryazan), Ryazhsk and other regions. All over the country, volunteers were recruited for the Don - from among the military and artisans. These settlers were promised various benefits and privileges - a common practice of the time.

Semyon Fedorovich Saburov - first governor of Voronezh

Saburov turned out to be an energetic and decisive person and carried out the order zealously. They provided him with funds and workers, and already in the summer of 1586 he was in full swing building fortifications. Thanks to the boyar’s diligence, this year became the founding date of the city. Construction proceeded quickly, fortunately there was no shortage of building materials - Voronezh forests were nearby.

Ufa (707.9 sq. km)

More than 1.2 million people live in modern Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan. If we take into account the population density, then the residents of Ufa live much more freely than other city residents - for each Ufa resident there are more than 600 square meters. m. city. This city is a large economic, scientific, cultural and sports Russian center. The importance of Ufa was emphasized by the meetings of the leaders of the SCO and BRICS held here in 2015. A large share of the city's territory is occupied by green spaces, squares and parks. There are many different monuments in the city.

Kazan (614.2 sq. km)

Unofficially, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, Kazan, is called the third Russian capital. This ancient city is more than 1000 years old. It is multinational, 115 nationalities coexist peacefully in Kazan, but the backbone is made up of Russians (48.6%) and Tatars (47.6%). Kazan is a significant cultural, economic, scientific and religious center of Russia, as well as a large river port. Sports in Kazan are also developing very rapidly.

Moscow is gradually expanding and increasing its area.

Thus, the area of ​​the metropolis now consists of 780 square meters. km located within the Moscow Ring Road (which was traditionally considered Moscow), and the remaining share is the territory of the region located outside the Moscow Ring Road in the south-west direction. More people live in Moscow than in some large European countries (for example, Norway and Finland taken together, about the same number live in Belgium and the Czech Republic). And this is only according to official statistics.

St. Petersburg (1439 sq. km)

This city is the most important economic, cultural and scientific center of the country after Moscow; it is also a major transport hub. The historical center of the city and the historical and architectural monuments located in it and in the suburbs are under UNESCO protection. Therefore, St. Petersburg is one of the most important tourist routes in Russia. In 2015, the city's population exceeded the 5 million mark. In terms of population in Europe, it is second only to Istanbul, Moscow and London. Among the northern cities of the world, it is the largest, as well as the first in Europe among cities that are not capitals. St. Petersburg has the status of a city of federal significance. The population of Leningrad in the 1980s also reached 5 million, but in the crisis years of the 90s there was a depopulation phenomenon - when the mortality rate began to exceed the birth rate, as a result of which the city's population decreased significantly. And only in 2012 it again reached the same 5 million mark, and by 2022 it amounted to almost 5.4 million people.

Orsk (621.3 sq. km)

Orsk is divided into three administrative districts, and its population is only 234.4 thousand people. The city is located in picturesque places - on the spurs of the Ural Mountains. Along the bed of the Ural River flowing through Orsk there is a division into Europe and Asia. It is mainly an industrial city, the second most important in the Orenburg region. It operates in such industries as mechanical engineering, non-ferrous metallurgy, mining, petrochemicals, light and food industries. There are about 4 dozen archaeological sites in Orsk. The local variegated jasper is especially famous, the deposit of which is located right within the city, on Mount Colonel. Orsk jasper has the widest variety of colors and patterns.

Chronological problem

However, despite the existence of a document with precise data on the founding of Voronezh, the date of birth of the city is still periodically disputed. The reasons are the presence in the chronicles of the word “Voronezh” itself and the mention of the existence of a certain fortress on the Don.

The earliest of these mentions dates back to the end of the 12th century. Accordingly, supporters of the theory of the antiquity of the city believe that it appeared in the same century, and then fell into decay as a result of the Mongol invasion. But there is one subtlety in this matter: after all, there is also the Voronezh River! And the most ancient chronicle references can easily be attributed to it, and not to a populated area (especially one that has the status of a city or at least a fortress).

However, although the date of the founding of the city must definitely be attributed to a later period, the territory in the vicinity of modern Voronezh was populated during the era of fragmentation of Russian lands. Formally, it belonged to the Ryazan principality. People settled here even after the Mongol invasion. The presence of swampy flood plains and dense forests on the Don and Voronezh Rivers helped to hide from the Tatars and live in relative safety. Rivers and forests also provided the opportunity to feed themselves.

Officially, the year of the founding of Voronezh is determined by a specific document dated March 1, 1586, which refers to the decision of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich and a group of his associates. The boyars and the tsar considered it necessary to organize the construction of a fortified settlement between the Don and Voronezh rivers.
