The territory of the city was transferred from one administrative entity to another, but by decree of Catherine II the city received the status of a county town on December 28, 1781.

Since 1851, Bugulma belonged to the Samara province. At this time, the appearance began to change, and in 1852 city elections were held for board membership.

Just half a century after its official formation, in 1781, the city received the status of a county town.

In August 1941, during the Second World War, the 352nd Orsha Red Banner Rifle Division was created in Bugulma. These years were also marked by the construction of a tank column called “Komsomolets of Tatarstan”, which was created thanks to donations from city residents. From May 1944 to May 1945, the strategic bomber PE-8 “Bugulminsky collective farmer” flew.

1948 is a significant year, it was then that the Romashkinskoye oil field was discovered, and in 1950 the Tatneft organization was established; this time is truly considered the second birthday of the city.

"Tatneft" is the exploration of oil deposits and its production in the territory of Tatarstan. Then a transportation center and a scientific center were created to develop the production of “Black Gold”. Thanks to the mining work, the number of city residents increased several times in a short period of time.

In 1974, the general plan of Bugulma was designed under the leadership of Leningrad State University. Between the 1970s and 1990s the city expanded significantly.

Scientists from Moscow on December 12, 1976 translated the word “Bugulma”. As a result, the city could be called “Bykovka”. If you delve into the basics of the Turkic languages, it will become clear that the root of the word “Bug” is equal to the root “bull”. This information was covered by the program “In the World of Words” and most residents knew this feature, since almost everyone listened to the radio.

The world's first sound radio broadcast

In 1672, Italian astronomer Giovanni Cassini discovered another satellite of Saturn - Rhea. It is the second largest satellite of the planet, and in the solar system it is the ninth largest and tenth largest by mass. Previously, Cassini had already discovered four satellites of Saturn and called them “Louis’s stars” in honor of King Louis XIV of France. For many years, Rhea was simply called the fifth satellite of Saturn. And only in 1847, the English scientist John Herschel proposed naming a celestial body in honor of the Titanide Rhea. The satellite itself is covered with a rarefied atmosphere containing diatomic oxygen and carbon dioxide. On its surface, the minimum temperature reaches minus 230 degrees, the maximum - minus 170 degrees.

In 1876, the first constitution of the Ottoman Empire was adopted. It was developed in the spirit of the ideology of Ottomanism by the political circle of the “new Ottomans”. The proclaimed constitution declared personal freedom and equality before the law of all subjects of the Ottoman Empire, regardless of religion, guaranteed the inviolability of private property, a fair taxation system, freedom of the press and much more. However, the modern constitution of the Turkish Republic was ratified in 1921 and was last revised in 2010.

In 1900, Canadian and American inventor Reginald Fessenden conducted the world's first sound radio transmission. In the same year, Fessenden developed a heterodyne reception method, during which sound beats are isolated between high-frequency currents of similar frequencies. However, initially the method did not find its application due to the lack of stable generators of continuous oscillations. The inventor initially worked on Cobb Island in Maryland, and it was here on December 23 that he experimented with a spark transmitter, which resulted in the transmission of a sound signal over a distance of 1 mile. Although the sound quality left much to be desired, Fessenden proved that sound transmission was possible. Later, the inventor began experiments to improve the quality of sound radio transmission. In addition to this achievement, the inventor's legacy includes the first two-way transatlantic radio communication and the first radio broadcast of entertainment and music in 1906.

Then an avalanche killed eight people and several more died from their wounds. The survivors were left with minimal food and no source of heat in the harsh, cold climate. From hunger, the survivors began to eat the frozen bodies of the dead. And only 73 days after the plane crash, two passengers managed to meet a Chilean farmer while searching for rescuers.
