Story

The village of Perm, 1866
In 1930, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Government of the USSR adopted a resolution on the economic and cultural construction of the Far Eastern Territory, and in August 1931 a decision was made to build a shipbuilding plant. In January 1932, a government commission arrived in the village of Perm, located on the left bank of the Amur, and decided to build the Amur Shipyard here. At the same time, a decision was made to build an aircraft plant in the area of the Nanai camp of Dzyomgi.

On May 10, 1932, the steamships Comintern and Columbus landed about a thousand of the first builders of the future city on the Amur coast. Today, this event is remembered by a memorial stone and a monument to the first builders. Soviet citizens who arrived in the wild taiga region lived in barracks and huts, and army tents. According to official data, the city was founded in 1932 by political prisoners, civilians, as well as Komsomol activists from the central regions of the Soviet Union.

The city was officially formed by the Decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of December 10, 1932. In the 1990s, Komsomolsk-on-Amur was often called the criminal capital of the Far East.

In the 1990s. In connection with the catastrophic situation in the city's electric power industry, the issue of using the electrical energy of nuclear submarines located on the stocks of the ZLK with nuclear reactors turned on (10% of power for technical support) was seriously discussed. Since that time, the situation with energy supply in Komsomolsk has improved, but still city lighting is completely turned off at night in order to save money and reduce the load on the network.

Source of the Amur River

The river begins at the confluence of the Tunguska and Argun rivers. But in general, the source of the Amur River is considered to be the Onon River in Mongolia. Because of this, some sources indicate that in addition to Russia and China, its waters also wash Mongolian lands. You can also find another length value - 4279 km (from the source of the Onon to the Sea of Okhotsk, where the Amur River flows).

The Onon is a turbulent stream, which is also a tributary of the Shilka. The name “Onon” in the Mongolian dialect sounds like “ruin, ruin.” Old-timers are very respectful of it and like to add notes of mysticism to their stories. There is a legend about mysterious pools that suck people in. Also, according to ancient legends, Genghis Khan was born on the banks of the Onon River.
