City `s history

The activities of A.V. Suvorov in the Kuban are inextricably linked with the history of the founding of a settlement called the city of Kropotkin (Krasnodar Territory). It was on his instructions that the first Cossack guard post was established here, on the river bank, initially fortified with a small redoubt.

The settlement of the adjacent territory has been active since 1778, when the Romanov post was established.

On June 18, 1874, the first train departed from the well-maintained railway station.

And finally, in 1894, the first census was carried out in the Romanovsky farm, according to which there were already 959 households and 8,147 residents in this territory.

However, the mass resettlement here, of course, did not end there, and in 1905 there were already 1,619 households and about 20 thousand people.

On February 4, 1921, the Romanovsky farm was renamed the city of Kropotkin. The Krasnodar region was replenished with another territorial unit, which received its name in honor of the then famous scientist, geographer and geologist, anarchist theorist P. A. Kropotkin.

City symbols

Not long ago, on June 30, 2005, the local coat of arms was approved. It is based on the glorious history of the origin of the settlement.

The purple emblem depicts Cossack gold crossed spears with tassels and a watchtower. The color symbolizes glory, dignity and nobility. It was also once used in the form of the Don Cossacks, who were the first inhabitants and defenders of these places.

Between the golden spears there are two green stripes, also crossed with each other. They symbolize the intersection of roads, since the city of Kropotkin (Krasnodar Territory), as mentioned above, is a major transport hub where many railway lines and highways intersect.

Based on the coat of arms, a flag was developed, which was approved on November 24, 2005. The banner is purple with an oblique green cross at the bottom, topped with four golden spears with tassels, and a watchtower of the same color at the top.

It should be noted that today the city of Kropotkin has an economically advantageous geopolitical location. It is the administrative center of several settlements and surrounding areas, as well as a major transport hub where roads and railway lines converge.

There are four quite popular railway lines. At the station, all passing trains traveling over longer distances stop and change locomotives.

In addition, there are highways of regional and federal significance (M29, P217, P251)

On the M29 “Caucasus” highway, a bus station (“Kazanskaya Gora”) serves intercity routes. Suburban commuters are mainly served by the bus station (“Central Market”).

Buses, fixed-route transport and taxis run around the city.

SPA

Kropotkin is a small and inconspicuous town, but it is developing and the main proof is the presence of a SPA center, which is distinguished by qualified service and a fairly wide range of services. Each visitor can choose an individual program for himself:

• Peeling.
• Wrapping.
• Soaring.
• massage and much more.

True pleasure will come from kvass, which is produced in the center according to its own recipe and technology.

Location: Morozova - 119/2.

The cozy town of Kropotkin has numerous boutiques on its streets where you can buy souvenirs as a gift or as a keepsake. There are also a huge number of benches and benches throughout the city where you can relax, enjoying the peace and tranquility.

Economic situation of the city and region

The food industry of the settlement consists of several oil extraction factories, a dairy, canning and brewery, as well as a meat processing plant and a bakery. The household chemicals factory already belongs to the chemical industry.

Thanks to the Kropotkin plant, mechanical engineering is rapidly developing in the city. Now the plant constantly produces:

• pipe bending machines, mandrels;
• internal and external centralizers;
• traction and scraper winches;
• pipe welding bases, various machines, drying ovens;

Light industry is engaged in the production of items of state and corporate symbols, such as coats of arms, flags, banners, pennants, T-shirts, baseball caps, etc.

"Cathedral of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary"

Kropotkin is not rich in shrines, but those that exist are distinguished by their sophistication and attractiveness. One of the main cathedrals is the Holy Intercession Cathedral. Its history stretches back to pre-revolutionary times.

The red brick building is crowned with charming turrets the color of the sky, and the domes are covered with silver. The interior decoration is no less attractive: wall paintings and frescoes, a gilded iconostasis and friezes. Nearby stands a bell tower, made in the same style as the church. The shrine was built and restored solely with donations from parishioners.

Location: Komsomolskaya street - 26.

Kropotkin of our time

Today, many industrial enterprises operate on its territory, and small businesses are also developing.

It should be noted that the city is actively improving modern infrastructure.

Many of the travelers who have visited it say that Kropotkin is a beautiful southern city, surrounded by greenery. I also like the fact that on the territory of the settlement there are 16 burial mounds from the Middle Ages and the Bronze Age, many wartime monuments, a local history museum, the Holy Intercession Cathedral, alleys and parks.

In recent years, two new stadiums, one cinema and a swimming pool have been built here. In 2008, the city was included in the project of the municipal formation of the Caucasus region in the status of the Kropotkinsk urban settlement (Law of the Krasnodar Territory No. 1553-KZ of 08.08.2008).

"Museum of Local Lore"

Not far from the railway station you will find another worthy pride of the town - the Museum of Local Lore. Since 1970, it has been revealing various secrets to visitors:

• History and development of education.
• History and development of various city institutions.
• Industrial development.
• Household items and personal belongings of the Cossacks.
• Exposition dedicated to Prince Kropotkin.
• An exhibition dedicated to the life of the Romanovsky farm.

Relatively often, the museum organizes temporary exhibitions; one of the most striking is the exhibition “The Catastrophe of Human Fate,” which tells about the occupation of the city during the Great Patriotic War.

Photographs and letters, furniture and medals, personal belongings and clothing will very clearly tell and show the history of that period. Very often, the museum is helped free of charge by the residents themselves, who bring here various things that later become exhibits.

Location: Krasnaya street - 68.

Feedback about the visit

Kropotkin is a southern, warm and cozy city.
Tourists always admire its picturesque landscapes and the beauty of its green spaces. Of course, in this case the main credit goes to the amazing, almost unique climate of the area. Winters here are quite mild, and in summer the air warms up to +30 °C. This is what makes the city comfortable to visit throughout the year. Even in the rainy autumn, there is usually no shortage of guests. Many people are interested in the city and its history. It is memorable and impressive with its beautiful buildings, which are architectural monuments.

Visitors especially like the railway station building and the musical fountain on the station square.

The 30th Anniversary of Victory Square and the city park of culture and recreation are perhaps the most visited and popular places.

"Memorial complex of the Great Patriotic War"

A memorial complex dedicated to the heroes who gave their lives in the terrible war with the fascist invaders was opened in the “Park named after the 30th anniversary of the Victory”. A giant banner is built from dark red slabs, and the area in front of it is lined with mourning slabs. In the center of all this greatness is a star in which an eternal flame burns.

On both sides of the banner there are steles on which the names of the heroic Kropotkinites are immortalized. Nearby are the monument to the “Heroes of the Soviet Union” and the “Memory Alley”. All this splendor is built on a hill, so it can be seen from afar. Every year in May, a large number of people flock here to pay tribute and honor to the dead.
