Partisan History of development

Story

In 1884, a society for the study of the Amur region was established in Vladivostok. One of the main tasks of this society was to find coal in the region suitable for burning in the furnaces of ships and steam locomotives. In the summer of 1888, the society's expedition on a small sailing boat ascended the Suchan River to the village of Novitskoye, where they were able to discover coal deposits just one meter from the surface of the earth. From 1888 to 1893, intensive work was carried out to explore the coal deposit. In 1891, 180 tons of coal were mined for seagoing vessels. The results of thermal testing of coal turned out to be good: density, cleanliness and smokelessness of coal, even and high heat, great savings compared to other coals. In 1896, the development of the field began with funds from the treasury. The settlement of Suchansky Rudnik was founded, giving rise to the modern city. In the same year, the mining settlements of Suchan arose: Novitskoye, Frentsevka, Tigrovaya and others. Their residents worked in mines, logging, construction of Suchan roads, and transportation of coal to Nakhodka. The construction of the first highways from the mine was started by the South Ussuri mining expedition of D. Ivanov in 1892-1893. 2 country roads were also built from the mine to Nakhodka Bay for the export of coal and the import of equipment. Miner M. Bogatov talks about the way of life at the Suchansky Mine:

Most of the people who worked at the mine were young people, and it’s a well-known young business—you want to go for a walk. Where will you go? Then the miner's only entertainment was a bottle of vodka. The guys receive their pay for the week and go in droves to the neighboring village of Novitskoye. There's vodka and party. And the boys feast until they spend their last penny and exchange their new clothes for rags. And then they go back to the mine, hand-dry and kick for 12-13 hours straight.

Suchan is the birthplace of the Primorye partisan movement: here, under the leadership of Lazo, the first partisan army in Primorye was created, consisting mainly of miners. In 1929, the newspaper “Krasny Suchanets” began publication. The Mining College was founded in 1932. In 1933, the Palace of Culture of Coal Miners was built. 1935 - the beginning of the Stakhanov movement in Suchan.

Suchansky partisans, 1920s. In the period from 1901 to 1949, mines were opened: Mine No. 1 - in 1901, "Central" (No. 10) - in 1918, "Nagornaya" - in 1938, "Glubokaya" - in 1942, "Severnaya" - in 1943, Avangard - in 1949. In 1929, construction of the power plant began. On April 27, 1932, the Suchansky mine was transformed into a city and given the name Suchan. In the same year, the Suchansky Mining College opened. In the thirties, the city was called Gamarnik, in honor of the famous army commissar 1st rank Jan Gamarnik, who in 1923-1928 was the chairman of the Primorsky Regional Executive Committee. At the end of May 1937, Gamarnik was repressed and the city returned its former name - Suchan. In the 1960s, several factories were built in the city: a leather goods factory, a Molodezhnaya clothing factory, and an Avangard clothing factory. In 1963, the Central Concentration Plant with a capacity of 1.2 million tons of coal was put into operation, replacing the washing plant with a smaller capacity built in 1910. The main building of the new factory was 9 floors. The events of March 1969 on Damansky Island led to the widespread renaming of settlements and, by decree of December 26, 1972, the city received its current name - Partizansk. The city was so named because it was the miner Suchan and the surrounding settlements of the valley of the Suchan River that were the cradle of the partisan movement during the years of the Intervention and the Civil War. It was here, not far from Suchan, in the village of Khmelnitskoye, that the “Committee for Resistance to Intervention” was created by teachers N.K. Ilyukhov and T.A. Mechik. This event marked the beginning of the partisan war in the region. For a long time, Partizansk remained a village of one-story barracks in which miners and their families lived. In the 1930s (after the city was granted city status), the center of the future city and its main street, Leninskaya, emerged. This time marks a period of intensive capital construction. Then Pekingskaya, Central, Kronida Korenny, Shchorsa streets were laid. In 1961, the Suchan cinema was built, in 1964 it was renamed “Rainbow”. In 1962, a two-story GUM was built. Lenin Square in the 60s was smaller (it was a wasteland) and was called Partizanskaya. Festive demonstrations took place at the intersection of Leninskaya and 50 Let Komsomol (formerly Bankovskaya) streets. Now on the square there are 3-story buildings and an old pharmacy, a 4-story building of the former city council and the CPSU Civil Code (now the city district administration). Next to the square is the park of the Coal Miners' Palace of Culture (now the City Palace of Culture), near which there is a monument to Lenin. Behind the square and the cultural center there is a city park and the Shakhtar stadium.

Liquidation of the coal industry

Remains of a processing plant. By the 1980s, Partizansk had developed as a diversified industrial city, the main place in which was occupied by the coal industry. In the 1980s, the Partizansk mines experienced a problem with staff turnover; many miners lived in barracks and stood in line for housing. During Perestroika, enterprises faced shortages in material and technical supplies, equipment became outdated, and production fell. Delays in payment of wages began. On July 10, 1990, the collectives of the Central, Northern and Glubokaya mines went on strike. On October 5, 1993, a collapse occurred at the Central mine, which killed the miners. On February 11, 1994, another strike was held at the Nagornaya mine. In 1994, the Primorskugol management recognized the Partizansk mines as unpromising, with the exception of the stably operating Tsentralnaya mine. In 1994, the Primorskugol production association was corporatized; there were 5,764 coal miners in the city. On March 17, 1995, all 5 mines went on strike: Glubokaya, Nagornaya, Central, Northern, and Avangard. The main consumers of Partizan coal this year were the Partizanskaya State District Power Plant, Spassky Cement Plant, as well as municipal utilities of the region. In 1996, the Glubokaya mine was closed. As of January 1, 1997, 5,460 people worked in the coal industry of Partizansk. In 1997 there was another strike. In May 1997, due to a sharp reduction in coal production, the Central Concentrating Plant was shut down. In January 1998, miners blocked the railway tracks on the Uglovaya - Nakhodka line for 2 hours, demanding payment of delayed wages. In April of the same year, there was a hunger strike; wages were delayed for 9 months. In 1998, the Nagornaya, Severnaya, and Avangard mines were closed. Liquidation work has begun at the Nagornaya mine. At the same time, the Central Concentrating Plant and the remaining enterprises of the coal complex were closed. In 1999, 400 people worked at the Central mine. On October 29, 2003, a methane explosion occurred at the Central mine at a depth of 740 m due to a violation of safety regulations, killing 6 people. November 1 was declared a day of mourning. In 2004, due to debts and difficulties in selling coal, the Central mine was closed. The more than 100-year history of the city-forming industry of Partizansk is over. The liquidation of the coal industry led to negative socio-economic consequences, leaving thousands of citizens without work and livelihoods. Following the mines, enterprises of light industry, instrument making, and agriculture were liquidated.[4]

Medieval history

From 698 to 926, the southern part of Primorye was part of the ancient Tungus-Manchu state of Bohai, and later in 1115-1234. part of the Jurchen Golden Empire, known as Jin (gold). Before the Bohai occupation, the area around what is now Partizansk was developed by the Yuluo Mohe tribes, who were incorporated into the Bohai Kingdom under the reign of King Da Renxiu (818-830). During the reign of the Bohai Kingdom, a city called Jongyu was founded, which was also the administrative center of Jonglei Prefecture. Traces of these states were preserved by the ancient Nikolaevskoye and Shaiginskoye fortified settlements (the surroundings of the present city, a map of the location of archaeological sites in the Primorsky Territory).

The main population of the Bohai state is the Tungus tribes Mohe, as well as Kongures, Chinese, Nanais, Udeges, Evenks, Mukri and other descendants of Tungus-speaking peoples; in the Golden Empire of the Jurchens - representatives of the southern Mohe tribes. Therefore, the names of settlements and rivers of both Chinese and Aboriginal origin have been preserved, emanating from the ancient Tungus-Manchu tribes of the ancestors of the modern Udege, Oroch, and Nanai. For example, the Suchan River translated from the Nanai language means Clay, and from Chinese it means a small, clean river. The earlier name of the river - Tarfun - comes from the Manchu tarfu - tiger. In Chinese, Suchan is read as Su-chen, “Su” means river, water, and “chen” means fortress. Famous researcher of the Far East V.K. Arsenyev gives another interpretation. Su-chan - an area sown with the Su-tzu (hemp) plant, from which the Chinese extracted the so-called herbal oil

A LITTLE HISTORY OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE AND THE FAR EAST

Before the revolution, textbooks for military schools in Russia began with the following preface: Russia is a military state, and therefore the entire economy of the country works for the army and focuses its efforts primarily on solving military problems. Russia's militarism has old historical roots.

Starting from the 13th century, the time of the Mongol-Tatar invasion, Rus', and then Russia, gradually became a militarized state. The waging of constant wars, first defensive and then offensive, leads to the militarization of all aspects of the life of Russian society. The logical form of government in this case is the absolute monarchy, which was established in Russia during the reign of Ivan the Terrible (16th century). An absolute monarchy was ideally suited to the idea of ​​a military state, the essence of which, in brief, is this: the king-commander gives orders, and citizen-soldiers carry them out. The military spirit permeated Russia from top to bottom.

The next step in the development of such a state, as history teaches, is the birth of an empire. Waging wars and expanding borders leads to the capture and inclusion into the country of foreign peoples with dissimilar cultures and different religions. The birth of the Russian Empire began under Ivan the Terrible and ended under Peter I. Then there was a natural expansion of the borders of the state, for any empire lives as long as it expands. As soon as it stops growing and tries to pursue a peaceful policy, it dies.

The formation of such a unique organism as the Russian Empire began with the penetration of Russians into Siberia and the Far East, which is what we want to focus our attention on.

By the way, have you ever thought about the strangeness of the phrase “Russian Far East”? Well, okay, the Russian East, but how did the FAR East become Russian?

There are several versions on this matter. One of them, a story invented by Soviet historians about forty years ago, says that Siberia and the Far East were mastered by Russian peasants. He allegedly plowed up these “no man’s” lands and sowed them with various varieties. True, the motive for such actions was omitted and why harsh Siberia surrendered to the Russian peasant was not explained. They generally tried to remain silent about the Far East, because the first peasants, for example, appeared in Primorye only in the 80s of the 19th century. What really happened here?

The version accepted in pre-revolutionary historical literature sounds more plausible. “Siberia was conquered by sable” - this common phrase is accurate, but does not explain everything one hundred percent. Of course, ahead were the Russian conquistadors - adventurers and hunters of wealth. But there were other moments specific to the Russian frontier.

In particular, like the Spanish conquistadors, the Russians were looking for their Eldorado. True, we called it “Belovodsk Kingdom” and had its own characteristics. If the Spanish-American Eldorado is a country where everyone is swimming in gold and has no problems because they are rich, then the Russian dream of the Belovodsk kingdom was based on slightly different values. Vagrants and wanderers traveling to the east believed that in this mythical country goodness and justice, equality and brotherhood reigned, there were no diseases, everyone lived happily and worked for the common good (a sort of idea of ​​early Russian communism). The Belovodsk kingdom, according to its seekers, was located somewhere near China.

Those who dreamed of finding the Belovodsk kingdom persistently moved east, despite hardships and natural obstacles. They were not stopped even by the fact that Orthodox priests, reaching to the extreme eastern limits, frightened the pioneers with the horrors of the end of the world. They interpreted the end of the world in the literal sense: where the earth ends, they said, the earthly firmament closes with the heavenly firmament, and the ocean roars into the dark abyss of the underworld. But these predictions stopped few.

True, there were not so many believers in the Belovodsk kingdom. The bulk of Russian pioneers, like the Spaniards in South America, the British in North America and the motley European public in Africa, were obsessed with the thirst for enrichment. For them, the word “east” was associated with fabulous riches, and they moved forward, despite any obstacles.

In the 16th-17th centuries, in the vast expanses of Siberia, a drama similar to what took place a little earlier on the American continent with the participation of Cortez and Pissarro took place. Only in our country, the role of gold was not a noble metal, but fur, or, as it was called then, “soft junk.” Owning furs immediately made a person rich, and especially desperate people went to Siberia in search of their fortune.

The Cossacks held the palm here. The first Russian Cortes was the well-known Ermak Timofeevich, the conqueror of Siberia. In 1581, he began his campaign in Siberia - that was the name of the state lying on the eastern side of the Ural ridge. With a very small detachment, he defeated the army of Khan Kuchum and marked the beginning of the Russian conquests in Siberia - this is how the entire territory east of the Urals began to be called. After Ermak, who died in battles to retain the lands he conquered, there were no less famous personalities: Ivan Moskvitin, Vasily Poyarkov, Erofey Pavlovich Khabarov. All of them were Cossacks, i.e. people without specific occupations, adventurers. True, they tried to recruit them into government service, but this did not end particularly well.

In particular, this applies to Khabarov. In 1655, he was even expelled from Siberia for the abuses he committed: hiding behind the name of the tsar, Khabarov collected tribute from local peoples in furs, which he simply appropriated for himself, deducting a small portion to the state treasury. In fairness, it should be noted that, along with his “entrepreneurial” savvy, Khabarov was excellent in the art of war, because it was he who won the first battle with the border troops of the Chinese Empire in 1652. Moreover, the number of Chinese outnumbered his detachment several times. Unfortunately, with Khabarov’s removal from Siberia, no worthy deputy was found for him (Khabarov was the commander of all Cossack detachments in Siberia). In his place was put the weak-willed and indecisive Onufriy Stepanov, who died along with his entire army in skirmishes with the Chinese in 1658 on the Amur.

Let's move on to the 19th century that interests us, namely the date that is key in the birth of the Russian Far East.

May 16, 1998 marks the 140th anniversary of the Aigun Treaty, the second ever agreement between Russia and China on the issue of border delimitation. The first was signed in 1689, in the oldest city of Transbaikalia, Nerchinsk, after the Cossacks lost the war with China. According to this treaty, the Russians were prohibited from appearing east of Lake Baikal and the entire Amur region was declared Chinese territory. This situation persisted for 170 years, until China began to yield to Russia economically and militarily. In the middle of the 19th century, the opportunity arose not to comply with the Treaty of Nerchinsk and to revise its articles. Which is what was done. The Aigun Treaty of 1858 changed the situation. Thanks to this treaty, Russia became the largest country in the world and acquired a territory called the “Russian Far East”. Gradually, living on former Chinese territory, the Russians began to forget that this land had once been Chinese. In order for this to be forgotten completely, in 1937, by the NKVD forces, the Chinese were evicted from the territory of the Primorsky Territory.

True, the names remain. Chinese names of rivers, cities, streets and other geographical and other points. Then, already in 1972, they tried once again to de-sinicize Primorye, now at the level of completely erasing historical memory. Hundreds of Chinese names of rivers, lakes, mountains, etc. were renamed. On the map, instead of Suifun, the Razdolnaya River appeared, instead of Iman, the city of Dalnerechensk, and instead of Suchan, Partizansk. But for some reason, people still call all these Maihe, Lefu and Liangchihe by Chinese names. Russian names took root only on the map.

The true history of the emergence of the Russian Far East was hidden for a long time due to a false understanding of state conditions. We could not be fully proud of the deeds of our ancestors, through whose labors the world's largest empire was created, occupying 1/5 of the Earth at the time of its greatest power.

Recent history

Such a “refined” name, located about 40 km. from the picturesque coast of the Sea of ​​Japan, the town received in 1972. as a consequence of the “getting rid” of eastern names after the Soviet-Chinese armed conflict in March 1969. on Damansky Island. Along with the city, they also renamed the river flowing among the amazingly beautiful taiga ridges to the coast with the sonorous name Suchan, which has its roots in ancient civilizations.

Only the century-old history of the city has preserved its three names: Suchan - Gamarnik - Partizansk.

By the end of the 19th century, Russia already had in the Far East a significant military fleet of the Pacific squadron, a voluntary fleet, a Siberian military flotilla, a railway and various industrial enterprises. The need of these institutions and enterprises for coal was satisfied mainly by importing it from Japan and other countries. Imported coal was expensive for Russia and further industrial development could not be satisfied with imported fuel.

In 1884 A society for the study of the Amur region was established in Vladivostok. The main task was to find coal in the region suitable for burning in the furnaces of ships and steam locomotives. The Society for the Study of the Amur Region sent its member V.P. Margaritov on an expedition to check the authenticity of rumors about the location of coal along the Peter the Great Bay from the Korean border to Vladivostok. Margaritov received information that there were fossil coals in the valley of the Suchan River. In the summer of 1888, Margaritov and his companions approached the mouth of the river. On a small sailing boat they went up to the village of Novitskoye, where not far from the village they examined a pit with an exit of weathered coal and soot in a river cliff, which was shown to him by a Russian blacksmith, a resident of the village of Novitskoye. From another source we learn that there was a Chinese who saw coal coming out in the taiga. The Chinese were found. Having crossed the Suchan River we entered the taiga. The guide led to a pit, where it was deepened one meter and coal was attacked.

In 1888 By order of the Highest, the South Ussuri geological expedition was sent to the Suchan area under the command of mining engineer Dmitry Lvovich Ivanov. Samples of Suchansky coal were taken, indicating its anthrocyte character and other valuable qualities.

From 1888 to 1893 Intensive exploration work is being carried out, as a result of which almost all working areas of the Suchansky mine have been discovered and the industrial nature of the deposit is being proven with the presence of coal suitable for burning in naval boilers.

In 1891 With the receipt of new mining machines, 180 tons of coal were mined for sea vessels. The test results turned out to be good: the density, purity and smokelessness of coal, even and high heat, great savings compared to other coals put it in the category of fuel quite suitable for the navy.

In 1896 it was decided to develop the deposit using treasury funds and begin construction of the mine and construction of an access road. The exploitation of coal was carried out from the exploration workings completed by the expedition. This was already industrial exploitation. Therefore, 1896 is considered the first year of industrial exploitation of the Suchan mine and the village of Suchan. Since 1896 Mining villages of Suchana appeared: Novitskoye, Frentsevka, Tigrovaya, etc. Their residents worked in mines, logging, building roads in Suchana, and transporting coal to Nakhodka.

October 17, 1901 A party of engineers with miners and craftsmen arrived at the mine from Donbass and immediately began repairing the dilapidated houses and guardhouse left after the expedition.

December 26, 1901 In the area where lean coals are distributed, vertical mine No. 1 and ten residential buildings were founded. The foundation of the present city is laid. State coal mines are being organized. Settlers flocked to Suchan.

Between 1902 and 1914, several new mines appeared in Suchan.

In 1929 Construction of the power plant begins.

April 27, 1932 The Suchansky mine was transformed into a city and given the name Suchan.

In the thirties, the city was called Gamarnik, in honor of the famous army commissar 1st rank Jan Gamarnik, who in 1923-1928. was the chairman of the Primorsky Regional Executive Committee. At the end of May 1937 Gamarnik was repressed and the city returned its former name - Suchan.

Until recently, Partizansk was known as a city of coal miners; more than 3/4 of the products supplied by the city to the national economy of the region were high-quality coal. The city is one of the most important fuel centers in the Far East and the second most important energy center in Primorye.

The city has a wide network of hospitals, outpatient clinics and dispensaries. A branch of the Far Eastern State University has opened its doors; there is a mining technical school, a people's university of culture, a mining school and many schools. In the picturesque foothills of Sikhote-Alin, summer holiday camps for children and dispensaries for adults, an artificial lake with a beach and a boat station have been built.

In 1960 A leather goods factory came into operation.

In 1962 The Molodezhnaya garment factory was put into operation in 1969. garment factory "Avangard".

Events of March 1969 on Damansky Island (Soviet-Chinese military conflict) led to a “total” renaming and a decree of December 26, 1972. The city received its real name - Partizansk. The city was named this way because it was the mining town of Suchan and the surrounding settlements of the valley of the Suchan River that were the cradle of the partisan movement during the years of foreign military intervention and civil war. It was here, not far from Suchan, in the village of Khmelnitskoye, that teachers N.K. Ilyukhov and T.A. Mechik created the “Committee for Resistance to Intervention”. This event marked the beginning of the partisan war in the region.

In the suburban area of ​​Partizansk, a network of large specialized farms has been created, including the Gorny and Yantarny state farms for horticulture, Lazurny for vegetable growing, and Kazansky for dairy and vegetable growing. There is a food processing plant with a confectionery, fruit and vegetable canning shops, and a brewery. The pride of the city is the Tiger State Fur Farm, which breeds valuable fur-bearing animals - mink.

In the 1970-80s. the city acquired the features of a diversified industrial center. With the completion of the construction of the Partizanskaya State District Power Plant, it became a supplier of cheap electricity to the national economy

In 1981 in the city there were 13 houses of culture and clubs, 42 libraries with a book collection of almost 725 thousand copies, a museum of the history of the city, a music and art school, and several cinemas.

The city has two stadiums, more than ten gyms, and a bicycle depot. In the village Lazov is one of the main bases of seaside tourists. From here there are trails to the tops of the Partizansky, Livadiysky, Przhevalsky ridges, to waterfalls and river sources.

In 2000 The tourist base “Mountain Keys”, through which the tourist route “Southern Primorye” runs, celebrated its 40th anniversary. Located in one of the most picturesque corners of the suburban area of ​​Partizansk, the tourist center attracts with the opportunity to hike along a mountain path through the thickets of the Ussuri taiga and climb the wooded peak of Mount Lazovoy with its mysterious caves “Bear Grotto”, “Solyanik” and “Twin” or walk through full of surprises route Tourbaza - Milogradovka River, visit Popov Island, etc.

The tourist center is attractive because everyone can try their hand at kayaking on the mirror-like surface of the ice-free lake, and also because in the area where it is located you can see an abundance of mountain springs, representatives of the richest flora of the virgin Ussuri taiga, including larch, cedar, try seaside wild plants: lemongrass, grapes, strawberries, nuts, mushrooms.

Geography, climate, flora and fauna

Landscape of Partizansk. The city is located in the valley of the Partizanskaya River, 40 kilometers north of Nakhodka, 95 kilometers east of Vladivostok. The city is surrounded by hills, their height is mostly 250 meters, some reach a height of 500 meters. Not far from the city are the Makarovsky ridge and the Alekseevsky ridge (height 1334 m). The rugged terrain complicates the planning and development of the city. The climate is monsoon type with warm humid summers and cold winters with little snow. The warmest month is August, the average temperature of which is +20°C...+22°C, maximum 37.8°C. The coldest month is January, the average temperature is −11°С…−13°С, the minimum is −29.9°С. The duration of the period with an average daily temperature above 0°C is on average 220-240 days, above 5°C - 200-210, above 10°C - 160-170 days. The sum of air temperatures for a period with a stable temperature above 10°C reaches 2700–2900°C. Around the city there are deciduous and mixed forests, in which Mongolian oak, birch, linden, Manchurian walnut, Amur velvet, fir, spruce, ash, and maple grow. The slopes of the hills are covered with bushes. The forests are inhabited by the Ussuri tiger, bear, roe deer, forest cat, wild boar, mink, and squirrel. The Partizanskaya River flows near the city - the source of water supply for the city and villages. Significant reserves of groundwater have been discovered in the village of Lozovy. As of 1997, the source of drinking water in the vicinity of Partizansk was characterized as polluted. For many decades, the mines and processing plant discharged wastewater containing iron, copper, and phenol ions into the Partizanskaya River basin. There are wastewater treatment plants in the city. The city is located in a seismically active zone. A magnitude 7 earthquake was recorded on September 18, 1933.

Miner sculpture: one of the symbols of the city

The current flag of the Partisan Urban District was approved on May 30, 2008. It is a slightly modified version of the 2005 and 2006 flags. The flag is divided diagonally into an upper green field and a lower azure field. In the center is the main figure of the coat of arms - ginseng with a gold stone at the base. The coat of arms of the district was approved on May 30, 2008. The shield of the coat of arms is divided diagonally into an upper green and lower azure field; in its center is golden-colored ginseng. Under the figure of ginseng is a hexagonal gold-colored crystal, symbolizing coal, to which the city owes its appearance. The 2003 draft coat of arms depicted a green shield with a black square in the center. The Soviet coat of arms of the city of Suchana was approved in 1971. The shield of the coat of arms was divided into red and yellow fields, on which a jackhammer and a miner's butt were depicted. The district anthem was approved on June 30, 2006.

Economy

As of April 1, 2010, 640 enterprises and organizations and 1,279 individual entrepreneurs were registered in the city district. Of these, 117 are state and municipal, 13 joint-stock companies, 355 limited liability companies. By type of economic activity: 165 enterprises are engaged in real estate operations, 104 - retail trade, 72 - manufacturing, 44 educational institutions, 43 - construction enterprises, 38 - agricultural and forestry enterprises, 29 - transport and communications enterprises, 27 - healthcare . Until the beginning of the late 1990s, Partizansk was a diversified industrial center, with a predominance of the coal industry. A leather goods factory, Molodezhnaya and Avangard clothing factories operated here. In 2008, coal mining in the village of Uglekamensk was stopped. Coal reserves have been depleted, leaving deep-lying seams, the further development of which requires high costs. There were mechanical engineering enterprises (instrument-making, turbine factories), a chemical and pharmaceutical plant, and timber industry enterprises. 10 km south of Partizansk, in the Lozovy microdistrict, there is the Partizanskaya State District Power Plant, which supplies electricity to the entire southeast of Primorye. It went through difficult times in the early 2000s, when the issue of closing it was considered. Currently, the GRES is operating, equipment modernization has begun: an additional generator is being installed to increase power. Despite the insignificant contribution to the overall energy supply system of the Primorsky Territory, today the region cannot do without this small part in winter (the period of maximum loads). There is a large railway station and locomotive depot Partizansk; 2 hospitals - city and railway; a brewery, a metal structures plant "Uragan", a food enterprise "Martin Vostok", a greenhouse state farm, an animal farm, as well as an orphanage from which Artyom Savelyev was adopted in 2009, whose return from the USA back to Russia had a great resonance in both countries. According to the regional authorities, Partizansk is a depressed territory that does not have city-forming enterprises. As of July 1, 2010, the number of unemployed people was 1,156 people, or 5.7% of the economically active population of the district. There were 2 unemployed people applying for 1 vacancy in the city. At the city's enterprises, 617 vacant jobs were officially registered, 76% of which were blue-collar jobs. The average duration of unemployment is 6.4 months; the number of unemployed people registered with the local employment service for more than 1 year amounted to 15.7% of the total number of registered unemployed people. The head of the Partizansky urban district is Alexander Viktorovich Galushchenko (elected on March 15, 2009).
