The ancient town of Teykovo (Ivanovo region): a brief history

general information

The city of Teykovo (Ivanovo region) is located on both banks of the Vyazma River, which flows from west to east and divides the settlement into approximately equal two parts. The older part was built on the higher right bank. It is surrounded on all sides by deciduous forests, and to the southwest there are also large peat mines.

The regional center is approximately 30 km away. Nearby there are roads from Ivanovo to Suzdal and from Vladimir to Yaroslavl and Rostov Veliky. The railway connects the town with the regional center and Moscow. The train from Kineshma to Moscow and commuter trains stop at the Teykovo railway station. From the city bus station you can take a bus to the city of Ivanovo.

Nature, fauna

The relief of the area is a gently undulating and undulating plain with a general slope towards the rivers and streams flowing through its territory. The transition of the watershed to the river floodplains is clearly expressed. The largest floodplain is identified along the Nerl River. The climate of the Teykovsky district is temperate continental with cold, snowy winters and moderately hot summers.

The reservoir for all water flowing within the Teikovsky district is the Nerl, Vyazma, Ukhtokhma rivers and their tributaries. The largest river, the Nerl, flows on the southwestern border of the Teykovsky district, has a short length and flows into the Klyazma River. The remaining rivers feeding the Nerl, Vyazma, and Ukhtokhma rivers are smaller.

The natural vegetation cover of the area is quite diverse. Forests cover 51% of the total area of the region. The main forest areas are located in the northern part of the region. These are mixed forests. Sometimes there are copses with tree species such as oak, maple, linden. Shrubs are common in watershed, partially closed depressions and in river floodplains. This is mainly willow, less often – juniper. Among the mineral resources in the area there are: clay, gravel and sand, peat, sapropel. The fauna of the area is quite diverse, which includes about 20 species of wild animals (elk, wild boar, river beaver, white hare, brown hare, fox, badger, etc.). The muskrat, a Red Book species, lives on the Nerl River. More than 10 species of birds. The rivers are inhabited by pike perch, bream, ide, pike, crucian carp, roach, and ruff. On Teikovskaya land there are state natural monuments: “Alferevskaya Pine”, “Vantinsky Spring”, “Park” in the village of Novoye Leushino, “Krasnovskaya Pine”, “Holy Spring”, Lake “Rubskoe”. The maximum length of the lake is 2980 m, width – 1550 m. Area – 297 hectares. The length of the coastline is 7252 m, the volume of water is 14 million cubic meters, the maximum depth is 16.2 m, the average is 4.7 m. In the lake area there are 650 species of plants and 6 species of fish. 1 km. A linden grove grows from the lake. There are 10 recreation centers on the lake shore.

Base

People have lived on the territory of the city since ancient times. Archaeological excavations at the site of ancient settlements have shown that they began to be built up starting from the 4th millennium BC. On the site of the Ilyinskaya Church towering over the city of Teykovo (Ivanovo region) (belonging to the architectural monuments of the 17th century), the remains of a pagan temple of Perun were found, which dated back to the late pre-Christian period.

The first written mention of the village of Teykovo dates back to the beginning of the 17th century. The Scribe Books describe the peasant riots of 1613, 1618 and 1651, relating to the Time of Troubles. Since 1619, the settlement, then part of the Suzdal district, belonged to two noble families - the solicitor of the grain yard F.I. Bosov and Princess A.G. Tyufyakina. Later it passed to the princely family of the Prozorovskys. The villagers were already engaged in handicraft weaving and dyeing of fabrics at that time. In the center of the settlement there was a trading area where fairs were held.

An excerpt characterizing Teykovo

During his recovery, Pierre only gradually unaccustomed himself to the impressions of the last months that had become familiar to him and got used to the fact that no one would drive him anywhere tomorrow, that no one would take his warm bed away, and that he would probably have lunch, tea, and dinner. But in his dreams, for a long time he saw himself in the same conditions of captivity. Pierre also gradually understood the news that he learned after his release from captivity: the death of Prince Andrei, the death of his wife, the destruction of the French. A joyful feeling of freedom - that complete, inalienable, inherent freedom of man, the consciousness of which he first experienced at his first rest stop, when leaving Moscow, filled Pierre's soul during his recovery. He was surprised that this internal freedom, independent of external circumstances, now seemed to be abundantly, luxuriously furnished with external freedom. He was alone in a strange city, without acquaintances. Nobody demanded anything from him; they didn’t send him anywhere. He had everything he wanted; The thought of his wife that had always tormented him before was no longer there, since she no longer existed. - Oh, how good! How nice! - he said to himself when they brought him a cleanly set table with fragrant broth, or when he lay down on a soft, clean bed at night, or when he remembered that his wife and the French were no more. - Oh, how good, how nice! - And out of old habit, he asked himself: well, then what? What will i do? And immediately he answered himself: nothing. I will live. Oh, how nice! The very thing that tormented him before, what he was constantly looking for, the purpose of life, now did not exist for him. It was no coincidence that this sought-after goal of life did not exist for him at the present moment, but he felt that it did not and could not exist. And it was this lack of purpose that gave him that complete, joyful consciousness of freedom, which at that time constituted his happiness. He could not have a goal, because he now had faith - not faith in some rules, or words, or thoughts, but faith in a living, always felt God. Previously, he sought it for the purposes that he set for himself. This search for a goal was only a search for God; and suddenly he learned in his captivity, not in words, not by reasoning, but by direct feeling, what his nanny had told him long ago: that God is here, here, everywhere. In captivity, he learned that God in Karataev is greater, infinite and incomprehensible than in the Architect of the universe recognized by the Freemasons. He experienced the feeling of a man who had found what he was looking for under his feet, while he strained his eyesight, looking far away from himself. All his life he had been looking somewhere, over the heads of the people around him, but he should have not strained his eyes, but only looked in front of him. He had not been able to see before the great, incomprehensible and infinite in anything. He just felt that it must be somewhere and looked for it. In everything close and understandable, he saw something limited, petty, everyday, meaningless. He armed himself with a mental telescope and looked into the distance, to where this small, everyday thing, hiding in the fog of the distance, seemed great and endless to him only because it was not clearly visible. This is how he imagined European life, politics, Freemasonry, philosophy, philanthropy. But even then, in those moments that he considered his weakness, his mind penetrated into this distance, and there he saw the same petty, everyday, meaningless things. Now he had learned to see the great, the eternal and the infinite in everything, and therefore naturally, in order to see it, to enjoy its contemplation, he threw down the pipe into which he had been looking until now through the heads of people, and joyfully contemplated the ever-changing, ever-great world around him. , incomprehensible and endless life. And the closer he looked, the more calm and happy he was. Previously, the terrible question that destroyed all his mental structures was: why? did not exist for him now. Now to this question - why? a simple answer was always ready in his soul: because there is a God, that God, without whose will a hair will not fall from a man’s head. Pierre has hardly changed in his external techniques. He looked exactly the same as he had been before. Just as before, he was distracted and seemed preoccupied not with what was in front of his eyes, but with something special of his own. The difference between his previous and present state was that before, when he forgot what was in front of him, what was said to him, he, wrinkling his forehead in pain, seemed to be trying and could not see something far away from him . Now he also forgot what was said to him and what was in front of him; but now, with a barely noticeable, seemingly mocking, smile, he peered at what was in front of him, listened to what was being said to him, although obviously he saw and heard something completely different. Before, although he seemed to be a kind person, he was unhappy; and therefore people involuntarily moved away from him. Now a smile of the joy of life constantly played around his mouth, and his eyes shone with concern for people - the question: are they as happy as he is? And people were pleased in his presence. Before, he talked a lot, got excited when he spoke, and listened little; Now he rarely got carried away in conversation and knew how to listen so that people willingly told him their most intimate secrets. The princess, who had never loved Pierre and had a particularly hostile feeling towards him since, after the death of the old count, she felt obliged to Pierre, to her chagrin and surprise, after a short stay in Orel, where she came with the intention of proving to Pierre that, Despite his ingratitude, she considers it her duty to follow him; the princess soon felt that she loved him. Pierre did nothing to ingratiate himself with the princess. He just looked at her with curiosity. Previously, the princess felt that in his gaze at her there was indifference and mockery, and she, as before other people, shrank before him and showed only her fighting side of life; now, on the contrary, she felt that he seemed to be digging into the most intimate aspects of her life; and she, at first with distrust, and then with gratitude, showed him the hidden good sides of her character. The most cunning person could not have more skillfully insinuated himself into the princess’s confidence, evoking her memories of the best time of her youth and showing sympathy for them. Meanwhile, Pierre’s whole cunning consisted only in the fact that he sought his own pleasure, evoking human feelings in the embittered, dry and proud princess. “Yes, he is a very, very kind person when he is under the influence not of bad people, but of people like me,” the princess said to herself. The change that took place in Pierre was noticed in their own way by his servants, Terenty and Vaska. They found that he had slept a lot. Terenty often, having undressed the master, with boots and dress in his hand, wishing him good night, hesitated to leave, waiting to see if the master would enter into conversation. And for the most part Pierre stopped Terenty, noticing that he wanted to talk. - Well, tell me... how did you get food for yourself? - he asked. And Terenty began a story about the Moscow ruin, about the late count, and stood for a long time with his dress, telling, and sometimes listening to, Pierre’s stories, and, with a pleasant consciousness of the master’s closeness to him and friendliness towards him, he went into the hallway. The doctor who treated Pierre and visited him every day, despite the fact that, according to the duties of doctors, he considered it his duty to look like a man whose every minute is precious for suffering humanity, sat for hours with Pierre, telling his favorite stories and observations on the morals of patients in general and especially ladies. “Yes, it’s nice to talk to such a person, not like here in the provinces,” he said. Several captured French officers lived in Orel, and the doctor brought one of them, a young Italian officer. This officer began to visit Pierre, and the princess laughed at the tender feelings that the Italian expressed towards Pierre. The Italian, apparently, was happy only when he could come to Pierre and talk and tell him about his past, about his home life, about his love and pour out his indignation at the French, and especially at Napoleon. “If all Russians are even a little like you,” he said to Pierre, “c’est un sacrilege que de faire la guerre a un peuple comme le votre.” [It is blasphemy to fight with a people like you.] You, who have suffered so much from the French, you don’t even have any malice against them. And Pierre now deserved the Italian’s passionate love only because he evoked in him the best sides of his soul and admired them. During the last period of Pierre's stay in Oryol, his old freemason acquaintance, Count Villarsky, came to see him, the same one who introduced him to the lodge in 1807. Villarsky was married to a rich Russian woman who had large estates in the Oryol province, and occupied a temporary position in the city in the food department. Having learned that Bezukhov was in Orel, Villarsky, although he had never been briefly acquainted with him, came to him with those statements of friendship and intimacy that people usually express to each other when meeting in the desert. Villarsky was bored in Orel and was happy to meet a person of the same circle as himself and with the same, as he believed, interests.

History and population

Since the 17th century, Teykovo was known in the region for the fact that auctions were held here twice a week. Merchants brought “small goods” from the surrounding cities, and peasants traded in bread, wheat, peas, oats, flax, wheels, pots, bast and linen. In terms of trade volume it was almost equal to the city. Approximately 2,000 people lived in Teykovo (Ivanovo region) at that time.

From the middle of the 18th century, textile and cotton manufactories, equipped with high-tech equipment for those times, began to be built in the village. In 1897, there were already 5,800 people living in Teykovo, the population was replenished by peasants from the surrounding villages. Especially after the abolition of serfdom.

After the revolution, in 1918 it received the status of a city, at the same time Teykovo (Ivanovo region) grew due to the annexation of several villages.

Etymology of the name

There are several versions of the origin of the name of the city of Teykovo (Ivanovo region). According to the authoritative scientist V.I. Yes, the word has Finno-Ugric roots. “Teika” (Thai) means a forest settlement, a forest village, a remote but inhabited place in the forests. Local historian Evgeny Smolin believes that during the Time of Troubles (1608-1612) the Poles founded their temporary camp in these places. Which called the territory “fluid place”, which in archaic Polish sounds like “tekovo”.

Scientist E.M. Pospelov derives the name Teykovo from “Teika,” one of the forms of the very rare female name Argentey, which is in the “Dictionary of Russian Personal Names” edited by N.A. Petrovsky. Many hydronyms and toponyms of the region are of Finno-Ugric and Old Slavic origin, for example Vyazma (“winding”, “winding”), Lake Sakhtysh (“stormy”, “restless”, “seething”, and “tysh” - fishy, rich in fish) .

Memorable places

The main attraction of the city of Teykovo, Ivanovo region, is the streets of its historical part. The center organically combines architectural examples of the merchant period (XVIII-XIX centuries) and modern buildings. Which creates a unique flavor, such as on Oktyabrskaya (formerly Third). On which the mansions of wealthy merchants and more modern estates of manufacturers have been preserved. Unfortunately, only the architecturally unique Nikolskaya and Ilyinskaya churches have survived from the large temple complex.

Next to them stands the building of the Palace of Culture in the style of eclectic classicism, built in 1987.

One of the oldest enterprises in the city is Teykovsky KhBK, founded about 220 years ago. In the 80s of the last century, an almost complete reconstruction of the plant was completed. Buildings built from the 18th to the 20th centuries show the history of the development of the Russian textile industry over two centuries.

Historical sketch

The village of Teykovo was first mentioned in the Scribe books in 1613. Its location at the intersection of trade routes from Suzdal, Rostov Veliky to Plyos to the Volga and through Shuya to Nizhny Novgorod allowed the village to become a major trading place. In 1808, the “Geographical Dictionary of the Russian State” said that the village of Teykovo had “considerable trade on Sundays and Thursdays. The congress of the people ranges from 500 to 2000 people.” This left its mark on the architectural appearance of the village, and then the city.

Trading rows walked along the high right bank of the river. Vyazma along the famous Tret Street, which divided the village into two land owners. Nowadays, on the site of the former warehouses and shopping arcades, public gardens have been laid out along Oktyabrskaya Street, and after the revolution, trading was moved to the small bazaar behind the estate of the manufacturer Karetnikov - now Frunzenskaya Street.

The historical center of the city has been preserved in the area of Lenin Square by the ensemble of Ilyinskaya and Nikolskaya churches, the building of the parish school and the mansions of Karetnikov and his son-in-law Nevyadomsky. The ensemble of the square is closed by a 30-apartment residential building, the building of the former schoolchildren's club, the Palace of Culture named after. Lenin with a classic portico and the ARS cinema. The center of the ensemble is the Church of Elijah the Prophet - a classic example of Rostov-Yaroslavl architecture of the 17th century. The church is tented, the bell tower - “octagonal” crowns the quadrangle of the main nave. A typical example of the “Temple of the Bells”.

Further to the river cliff stands the St. Nicholas Church - a basilica, unusual for North-Eastern Rus', Venetian-Moorish in architecture. In the 19th century, it was the largest church building in the Vladimir province with wonderful acoustics, cast iron floors and bright paintings. The drawings of the church were brought from Venice by the manufacturer Karetnikov. The ensemble of churches had only one dominant bell tower over the Elias Church.

Teykovo has long-standing cultural traditions; since the middle of the 19th century, the city had a men's gymnasium (primary classes of school No. 1), a parochial school, and an apprenticeship school under the Karetnikovs' partnership.

Among the pre-revolutionary buildings in the city, the mansion of the merchant and manufacturer Zakharov (the UWC building in Teykovo), his factory (CJSC "Teykovskaya Sewing Factory" on 1 Komsomolskaya Street), the buildings of all three industries and a foundry, a cotton mill, the former club of creative workers have been preserved Karetnikov.

Notable for the city was the iron casting of the local plant. Based on the sketches and models of local craftsmen, thousands of pounds of gratings, floors, porches, railings, steps, and architectural decorations were cast for the city and surrounding villages and towns. Products bearing the Karetnikov mark are found in Ivanovo, Shuya, Vladimir, Suzdal, the Kremlin of Rostov the Great and even in Yaroslavl, which had its own iron foundry. Most of the products have already been lost in the city, but the flights of stairs in all the old buildings of the KhBK, the porch and steps of school No. 6, and part of the floors in the St. Nicholas Church have been preserved.

In 1787, merchants Karetnikov founded a textile factory, which later became a cotton mill, which is still one of the largest in the region, producing products worth more than 1000 million rubles per year, which is 82% of the total output of the city's manufacturing industries.

Teykovo received city status at the IV Congress of the Council of Deputies of the Ivanovo Region on September 8, 1918. Territory – 19.2 km2.

The city of Teykovo has its own coat of arms, the symbols of the coat of arms are: a shuttle and two baptized swords as a sign of the deployment of a missile formation in the city, the Vyazma River crossing the city.

Teykovo is a city of regional subordination, located in the west of the Ivanovo region, 30 km from the regional center and 300 km from Moscow. The city is connected with the capital by railway and highways: through the city of Gavrilov-Posad to Suzdal, Vladimir and through the city of Ilyinskoye-Khovanskoye to Rostov Veliky, Pereslavl. The flat landscape of the middle zone, the proximity of forests, and the flowing Vyazma River give the city a unique flavor.

During the Great Patriotic War, the city became a center for the formation of rifle and airborne formations, and an aviation base. Since 1961, it has been the location of the guards unit of the Strategic Missile Forces.

The city plan was formed after fires in 1856 and 1870. New microdistricts - Krasnye Sosenki, Industrialny, Socialist, Komovsky, Shestaginsky - were built in the post-war period. Most of the city's area is occupied by individual buildings, and the city looks like a garden in spring and summer. The picture is completed by public gardens in the city center. Adjacent to the city from the west is a relict pine grove, whose beauty gave its name to the village, microdistrict and one of the city streets - Krasnye Sosenki.

Sights of the city and its surroundings are: the estate of the Karetnikov merchants and the church complex of the 17th-19th centuries, the central street with buildings built in the 19th century, a relict pine park in the Krasnye Sosenki microdistrict.

Folk crafts are represented mainly by wicker weaving and wood carving.

Among the architectural monuments of the Soviet period, the Palace of Culture named after. Lenin, built in 1957. This is a typical example of Soviet classicism; it successfully completes the ensemble of the square and harmonizes with the Karetnikov mansion. The Obelisk of Glory in memory of those who died during the war, military graves, sculptures and a cannon on the pedestal at the entrance to the Krasnye Sosenki microdistrict became bright touches in the architectural appearance of a small cozy town on the banks of the Vyazma River, the etymology of which is “Teykovo”, “teika”, “taiga” “- still causes controversy among scientists (dead, forest, swamp place).

The city has a historically established industrial and trade orientation in the economy.

Currently, there are dozens of manufacturing enterprises and organizations: food production, textile and clothing production, publishing and printing activities, production and distribution of electricity, gas and water, producing products worth more than 1,300 million rubles per year, which are supplied to all regions of Russia and neighboring countries.

Some documents indicate that the laying of the first stone took place at the end of the 18th century. But found fragments of an older church foundation indicate that the true age is much older. The church was repeatedly reconstructed. During the Soviet period, a pasta production factory operated within the walls of the temple. The second life of the temple and the return to its original meaning occurred only at the end of the 20th century.

Nicholas the Wonderworker is known as the patron saint of travelers, so a visit to this attraction will be interesting to all guests of the city of Teykovo.

Location: Oktyabrskaya street - 1A.
