History[ | ]

In the fall of 1942, the Abwehr developed the sabotage operation "Volga Wall". On the territory of the Borsky district of the Gorky region, a local fighter battalion and NKVD officers fought with a large group of German paratroopers trying to break through to the bridge over the Volga[6].

On May 17, 1962, part of the territory of the abolished Rabotkinsky district was annexed to the Borsky district[7].

On September 12, 2000, the Law of the Nizhny Novgorod Region abolished municipal entities in the territories of villages and village councils in the Borsky district: the village of Bolshoye Pikino, the village of Kerzhenets, the village of Neklyudovo, the village of Oktyabrsky, the village of Memory of the Paris Commune, the village of Sitniki, Bolsheorlovsky village council, Gorodishchinsky village council, Ivanovo village council, Ivonkinsky village soviet, Kalikinsky village soviet, Kantaurovsky village soviet, Kovrovsky village soviet, Krasnoslobodsky village soviet, Lindovsky village soviet, Ostankino village soviet, Redkinsky village soviet, Rozhnovsky village soviet, Rustaisky village soviet, Spassky village soviet, Chistoborsky village soviet, Chistopolsky village soviet, Yamnovsky village soviet et[8]

According to the laws of the Nizhny Novgorod region dated October 11, 2004 No. 110-Z[9] and February 25, 2005 No. 10-Z[10], 1 urban and 8 rural settlements were formed as part of the municipal formation Borsky district.

By Law of the Nizhny Novgorod Region dated February 25, 2005 No. 11-Z[11], the municipal formation of Borsky District was given the status of a municipal district.

In 2010, the administrative-territorial formation of Borsky district was transformed into the city of regional significance of Bor, and the municipal formation of Borsky district was transformed into the urban district of the city of Bor.[12][13] At the same time, all municipal formations - the urban settlement of the city of Bor and the rural settlements of the Kantaurovsky village council, Krasnoslobodsky village council, Lindovsky village council, Ostankino village council, Memory of the Paris Commune village council, Redkinsky village council, Sitnikovsky village council, Yamnovsky village council were abolished by merging them into the urban district of the city of Bor .

Entertainment and attractions

If you go to Bor by air, you will immediately come across one of the main local attractions - the cable car. Needless to say, what fantastic views open up when you float over the wide and deep bed of the great Russian river in a cable car cabin?

Another interesting and, at the same time, attraction of direct practical use is the so-called “Bor Bridges” - road-railway and single-track railway bridges combined with each other. Gigantic structures again connect Nizhny Novgorod and Bor.

In addition, Bor is famous for its wonderful temples. One of them is a temple in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “The Sign,” erected at the end of the 18th century. Once upon a time, the church was the only one in the entire province that had as many as 9 chapels. Of course, during the years of communist rule, the church was closed and suffered greatly, but in our time, through the efforts of the parishioners and the clergy, the church has been restored and is functioning. The snow-white temple topped with golden domes is impossible to miss. And the ringing of bells, spreading throughout the area from the tented bell tower, as in the old days, can be heard on the other side of the Volga.

Another ancient temple of Bor is the Church of Sergius of Radonezh, built in the mid-18th century on the site of a wooden temple from the 17th century. It was erected in the Russian architectural style characteristic of that time. In the 30s it was closed, and at the beginning of our century it was again handed over to believers. It is definitely worth visiting another church, which, however, is not located in Bor itself, but nearby, in the village of Yamnovo - this is the Church of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa. Built of wood at the end of the 19th century, it still looks very festive and elegant in its bright blue “robe-color”.

Few people know that those famous faceted glasses, known to everyone born in the USSR, are made at the glass factory in Bor. By the way, high quality automobile glass is produced here.

A touching and original landmark of Bor is the reconciliation bench installed in 2013. It has a special design, thanks to which quarreling lovers end up sitting next to each other, which, of course, contributes to complete mutual understanding. Well, you can complete the excursion by climbing the Moss Mountains and taking in the beautiful panorama.

Story

The first human settlements on the territory of Bor appeared 2-3 thousand years BC. Archaeologists not only established the sites of Neolithic settlements on the territory of Bor, but at the same time, while examining the dunes on the Moss Mountains, they discovered fragments of pottery dating back to the Early Iron Age. Archaeological excavations and chronicle materials indicate that Finno-Ugric tribes (in particular, the Meshchera) lived along the banks of the Vezloma River. The name of this river literally means “river flowing through the lake.”

At the place where the Vezloma River flows into the Volga, a group of buildings was formed - the Vezlomskaya, Kopytovskaya and Nikolskaya settlements, considered the ancestral home of Bor. For various reasons, the settlements Vezlomskaya and Kopytovskaya gradually moved to Nikolsko-Borovskaya, which was never flooded with spring water and which, due to its advantageous location, “acquired primary importance among the three settlements” and in all documents began to be called Borovskaya. In the 14th century, the settlement of Borovskaya, located at the beginning of the Trans-Volga trade road, transformed into a large settlement - the village of Bor, surrounded by dense, sometimes impenetrable forest.

Residents of the Trans-Volga village and its environs led different lifestyles: some hunted and fished; others were engaged in various crafts: carpentry, excellent use of carpentry tools and making various items of peasant household utensils (carved cabinets, slides, ladles, salt shakers), weaving bast shoes, burning charcoal, weaving coolies and matting from bast; still others (Old Believers-schismatics) lived off the alms of their benefactors. There were also forest dwellers who lived without power and law, engaging in robbery and robbery.

The beginning of the 17th century is associated with the most intensive settlement of the territory of the future Bor region. Among the settlers were immigrants from Moscow, schismatics and participants in peasant wars under the leadership of Bolotnikov, Razin, and Pugachev were hiding in the Kerzhen forests. Fugitive serfs settled on these lands. Since 1619, the Borovsk lands were owned by different owners: the Duma clerk I. Gramotin, then (late 17th century - early 18th century) these were palace sovereign lands, i.e. property of the king's family. At the very end of the 17th century, the Borovsk lands were owned by Major General A.A. Borozdina, and since 1799, the Bor society had to deal with the guardians of Borozdina’s children.

The serfdom of the Borovites lasted only nine years. In 1806, in accordance with the Highest permission of Alexander I, the peasants of the village of Bor could redeem themselves and their families for 160,230 rubles in state notes. Freedom for the residents of Bor was not easy - the ransom was difficult and long to pay.

The abolition of serfdom in Russia had a beneficial effect on the development of Bor as a large trading village. The water road - the Volga - conveniently connected it with Nizhny Novgorod. In the second half of the 19th century, Bor was a large trading village. By 1887, Bor's population was more than 1,400 inhabitants (293 households). The village had one school, a hospital, a dozen trading shops, a mill and an iron cutting plant. The center of the village was a market square with shopping arcades, warehouses, taverns, where weekly markets were noisy, and twice a year - on May 9 and September 15 - one-day fairs were held. Thousands of people from surrounding villages brought bread, butter, lard, livestock, furs, and leather for sale, purchasing fabrics, haberdashery and industrial goods from merchants.

The economy of the south and southwest of Semenovsky district, where the Borsky district is currently located, was determined primarily by handicraft industries, the most significant of which were fulling - wool processing and metalworking - the production of nails, anchors and chains.

The products of the blacksmith's trade, the development of which in the Borsky district was carried out by the former burgomasters of the landowner, sold well on a powerful market for the sale of finished products - the All-Russian Nizhny Novgorod Fair. The center of blacksmith production in the region was the so-called Krasnaya Ramen - an area that included about 19 villages, and in which in 1875 there were 497 forges, and in them - more than a thousand blacksmiths. On the outskirts of the village of Bor itself there were up to 25 forges.

Several dozen villages were engaged in fulling production in the region. Thousands of people made felt, felt, hats, felted shoes, and insoles. Sales of finished products as well as delivery of raw materials were carried out through Nizhny Novgorod and its fair.

Since ancient times, part of the population of Bor and its environs has been engaged in carting. The crossing of the Volga opposite Nizhny Novgorod dates back hundreds of years. At all times, the Borsky transport served as the “main gate” of Nizhny Novgorod to the Volga region and back. In the 19th century, its importance increased many times due to the transfer of the All-Russian Fair to the Volga capital in 1817. Up to 200 thousand people traveled back and forth through Perevoz and up to 150 thousand pounds of cargo were transported per year. All transport routes and trade flows of the Bor district went to Perevoz.

At the very end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, the Bor left bank was marked by a large population. Firstly, the neighboring Mochalny Island every year by the beginning of the fair (July 15) turned into a kind of warehouse for huge masses of all kinds of goods and, in addition to the constantly scurrying longboats, tugboats pulling barges, on the shore there was a concentration of all sorts of working people: hookmen and loaders, salesmen - traders, wholesalers-buyers, accountants, proxies and simply dubious personalities. Secondly, after the unprecedented devastating fire of 1893, which almost destroyed Bor, many laborers and artisans engaged in construction arrived.

With the development of shipping in the second half of the 19th century in Nizhny Novgorod, the transport and blacksmithing industries continued to develop on Bor. Blacksmiths mainly produced fastening materials, chains and other products for barges. In 1984, a forging-mechanical and iron-copper-foundry plant was built on Bor on Popova Griva, which supplied ship anchors, hooks and one steam engine for steamships per year. Brick factories, a sawmill, and fulling and shoemaking workshops also operated on Bor land. In 1911, at the shipyard located on the Fofanovy Mountains, which at that time represented sand dunes that were not flooded with Volga water in the spring, the longboat “Kashevar” was laid down. Thus began the birth of the Teplokhod plant. Over all the years of its existence, the word “Motor Ship” has never disappeared or changed in the name of the enterprise.

In the first years of Soviet power, the economy of the Bor region experienced some difficulties. Due to the lack of military orders, in 1922 the only large plant, the Nizhny Novgorod Motor Ship, was closed for a year. Handicraftsmen also found themselves in a difficult situation. Handicraft workshops closed due to lack of raw materials. Handicrafts, especially for the manufacture of metal products, also fell into almost complete decline.

As a result of socialist construction, during the first five-year plans, a powerful new industry was created in the Bor region. In 1923, the Krasnaya Ramen plant was founded in the village of Zavrazhnoe, which produced chains and subsequently became one of the main suppliers of its products for the whole country. In 1927, the Nizhny Novgorod-Kotelnich railway line came into operation, which connected the Nizhny Novgorod industrial region with the Urals, Siberia, the east and north of the country. During this construction, the Tolokontsevo-Mokhovye Gory railway line was built, which played a primary role in the industrialization of the entire Borsky region. In the same year, the village of Bor became a workers' settlement, which included the villages of Kononovo, Mukhino, Makarovo, and the backwater named after. K. Marx, Borsky transportation, Mokhovye Gory village. In 1928, the first transformer booth to receive electricity from Balakhna appeared on Bor.

In October 1929, a preliminary design for a future mechanized glass factory in the Mokhovy Gory was approved. The plant was intended to produce large-sized glass and triplex for the needs of the rapidly developing automotive and other heavy industries. The glass giant of the entire Soviet industry was launched on February 1, 1934. Simultaneously with the glass factory, a lumber factory was put into operation. By this period, the Bor silicate plant and the first stage of felt factory No. 6 were successfully operating in the Bor region, the reconstruction of the Teplokhod plant was underway, and the construction of a high-voltage line at the ship repair plant (the former Sobchinsky backwater) was completed. During these same years, capital construction was carried out at the Sitnikovsky peat enterprise and in Krasnaya Ramen.

From the commercial and industrial village of Bor, with production serving Volga shipping, it became the largest manufacturer of automotive glass - an inter-district specialized industrial center with a number of enterprises.

How to get to Bor

You can get to Bor in different ways - by land, water and even by air.
But first you need to get into the “pocket of Russia”, which you can read in more detail on the page: “How to get to Nizhny Novgorod”. Next, it’s simpler: electric trains run from Nizhny Moskovsky Station to Mokhovye Gory station. The fare is 60 RUB, the journey takes 40 minutes. A romantic, airy option is the cable car, which opened in 2012. On the Novgorod side, you should look for a stop on the Kazanskaya embankment, behind the Cathedral Mosque. In Bor, the station is located almost in the very center of the city, 100-150 m from Victory Square. The gondola soars over the Volga expanses every day from 6:45 to 21:00 on weekdays and from 9:00 to 21:00 on weekends (break from 11:00 to 13:00). The journey takes 12 minutes, cabins depart every minute. The fare is 100 RUB.

Finally, there is a way by water - by ferry from the Nizhny Novgorod River Station near the Alexander Garden (200 m south of the Chkalov Stairs). It transports not only people (20 RUB), but also cars (260-340 RUB).
